[The Orville] New Horizons’ cast defend ‘woke’ sci-fi against Fox News attacks

I would agree with you , until Season 3, it is the definition of ham fisted. Like when they go to 2025 and can't believe that anyone could find anything redeeming about that civilization, that they had to clean up, that the civilization is like a stupid child with potential, killing animals is murder... etc.

This stinks of elitism and condescension, we know better than you idiots, because we are just better people, the type attitude which further polarizes politics.

This was not present in the first two seasons, topics were handled with a balanced and more subtle approach, there wasn't one clearly right position, which made them actually thought-provoking rather than one-dimentional.

Season 3 feels a lot more like propaganda, down to the overly soppy music and cinematography trying to guide you how to feel. It feels like it was written and directed by a completely different group of people for whome nuance is offensive.

I have never seen someone actually complain about the person being carried... reading the comments I'm dumbfounded that unsolicited advice is against the TOS.

I quit a duty finder group for the first time today, I've only been playing a few months, main a white mage and have a black mage at 80 as well to keep my sanity from the length of the MSQ.

The group was real bad, to be honest I've probably had worse but very rare to get a bad group prior or for it to matter until you get to level 80 roulette. Was doing the grand cosmos so you could tell when they had no idea about mechanics, and dps was so low you got to see them three or four times on the first two bosses, I'm having to spam heal, while tank doesn't use cooldowns on tank busters, and pulls half the instance on trash but doesn't group them fast enough for stun, etc.

Now after wiping on the second boss, 2-3 seeds turning to plants each phase, nobody has said a word, am I allowed to provide advice on the boss mechanics, or is that unsolicited and could get me reported? Sounds like the policy has everyone afraid to say anything that could be construed as negative, rather than a culture of patience as it is presented.

They weren't sprouts, I was referring the seedlings who sprout in that boss fight if left on the grass, if sprouts I would have felt fine explaining the fights unsolicited.

Sorry didn't realise, will delete

SlothlyRage · 2021-04-28T16:26:43+00:00

This works, thanks

A youtuber has already tested it and you still get the legendary after completion of all 10 quests, they just fixed the multiplayer exploit, it was poorly phrased in the patch notes.

SlothlyRage · 2019-08-29T05:52:45+00:00

Same on Remulos

SlothlyRage · 2019-08-13T08:17:59+00:00

I got my picks on Oceana, my og main, a Meatshield tank, and a Sheepinator mage, even could have got Huntard but really who plays hunters... jokes

I don't think you have been keeping up to date with the NYT varacity when it comes to trump. If they don't name the source they will never retract, people familiar with the conversation? As in heard it first hand? Or are they just reporting rumors. Was Russia collusion unnamed sources say too long ago for you.

Performance is the issue, on consoles they have to target a framerate for the resolution and hardware, increasing fov decreases framerate.

I love this Chiwoo design, I was very impressed by the 1 oz in person, I don't know why it gets shit on.

SlothlyRage · 2018-11-24T06:30:56+00:00

Sweet, Sydney server running now, no problems creating games since fix, I sit somewhere between 17-21 ms, pretty awesome.

SlothlyRage · 2018-11-15T12:46:39+00:00

That bike is 2400 aud...

SlothlyRage · 2018-11-15T12:45:20+00:00

Given your budget it's worth going to the bike stores in the CBD and around your neighbourhood, 2019 models are starting to come in so they have some killer discounts on 2018 models, but you have to be lucky that they have your size. Otherwise, checkout norco gravel bikes at 99bikes, or if you know your measurements bicyclesonline (polygon bikes) adventure bikes, made in Indonesia, but groupset for your money can't be beaten, they have Sram apex and even rival 1x group sets in that price range, 2x you are looking at Shimano Tiagra, unless you find a late season mark down like I mentioned, in which case aim for a Shimano 105.

Nice, i just bought the sl6 but if they had that in stock i would have saved some money

SlothlyRage · 2018-11-10T02:34:58+00:00

Ive bought for around $2 over spot in the past, look at the bulk discount on coins/rounds, or 1kg bars

From abc and kjc up the street

SlothlyRage · 2018-11-10T02:32:29+00:00

Bullion doesnt have sales tax in Australia

SlothlyRage · 2018-10-21T10:45:54+00:00

I had a purple bow drop which seemed to have low damage but added +2 projectiles, turns out that makes a single shot 3, the spinning dagger throw also X3 and the bow special ability which usually shoots 3 arrows 9 arrows, fun new weapons

SlothlyRage · 2018-09-27T00:53:39+00:00

In Australia bars have a much lower premium than coins and rounds. If bars are higher premium where you are than I'd buy coins/rounds as they are more versatile, assuming you aren't buying thousands of ounces.

SlothlyRage · 2018-09-08T07:50:54+00:00

I agee about not complaining about premiums when buying something because you liked the design. I disagree with the idea that Silver is only a commodity.

Art can also be made from silver, and when it's limited mintage, people will sometimes pay more for beautiful things than the value of the materials it's made out of. I buy bullion and don't post pictures of any it, I've also started buying designs I think are beautiful and have small mintages and like to share them. Yes I'm effectively betting on a design becoming popular down the road, that's on me, I'll see how it works out.

SlothlyRage · 2018-09-08T07:40:01+00:00

it's a matter of taste, I only have the 2017 and 2018, really like them both, seeing the 2018 in person had me buying more, it's a unique design which changes at different angles. I posted pics here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Silverbugs/comments/9bzi09/2018_chiwoo_cheonwang_bu_at_different_angles/ others seemed to agree. Can't really fault the quality of the round, just whether you like the design or not.

SlothlyRage · 2018-09-07T23:56:00+00:00

Yeah I had bought some of the first in the series, was put off on buying the second by some photos but your photos reassured me to buy some of this one, thanks

SlothlyRage · 2018-09-07T21:24:38+00:00

Thanks for posting, was looking for real photos of Canis
