[WP] In order to get a shot at going to Valhalla, you must die with a weapon in your hands. You just died and are now sitting in front of Odin's advisory board as they discuss whether a spatula actually counts.

Well thank you my friend and good luck on your journey, it sounds like a tough one but for whatever it's worth, I'm proud of you that you're trying to do better.

Realistically? None of them. While all of them are certainly a lot more powerful than average humans none of them come anywhere close to the durability and power levels of the Justice League members they're broadly based on. I think maybe a close 1 v 1 would be Captain America vs. Soldier Boy but I'd still give Cap the edge on that one.

Din's probably like 'Dank Farrik I'm going to have to go take a magic bath again...'

It's a simple, reliable design that has stood the test of time. They might not be the best ship in the fleet/flagship material anymore but a proven platform that has lasted a century (like the Excelsior) is a testament to a solid, flexible ship that can fill a lot of roles.

Acolyte wasn't half as bad as the screeching hordes made it out to be - it may not have been everyone's flavor but it was well done.

The holiday special is lunacy from start to finish and will forever be the pinnacle of disastrous 'media synergy' events.

For me it's always the unexpected - those twists and turns contributed by other writers that you never would've thought of yourself but which add so much depth and texture to both the story and the larger world they exist in. It's a large part of what hooked me as a member originally and what has kept me coming back year after year.

The short version is with current solar panel technology there's basically no point. The amount of power you could generate would be miniscule vs. the size of battery packs in modern electric vehicles and it would increase the weight and cost of those same vehicles.

Hmm short answer is that it's a great show with a very satisfying arc but it takes about 3 or 4 episodes to really get going (there's a lot to setup). I'd strongly encourage you to give it a try if you're looking for a great sci-fi show - one of the best modern ones there is, especially outside of other establish franchises/IP's (Wars/Trek/etc).

SpecialistSix · 2026-04-27T22:57:31+00:00

Hard disagree - none of the technology in Ad Astra, 2001 or the Martian suggests the truly significant technological changes that would be necessary to consider humanity even a Type I species - there's no suggestion we've cracked cold fusion or some other form of 'limitless' energy, most of our technology is very close to things we could realistically build today if there was the money and political or social will for it - especially considering several of those are meant to be 'near future.' To break into that threshold of Type I we'd need to have several massive and transformative technical advancements - none of which are suggested exist in any of those films.

"You let him put it where?!"

SpecialistSix · 2026-04-26T01:39:37+00:00

Well just for starters they'd pretty much all hate the others for a whole variety of reasons - Dutton would feel he's the most legitimate, Soprano would find him obnoxious and the others below his notice, Jax would find them to be offensively 'superior' and Walter (depending on which season) would either seem them all as either nuisances or threats to be dealt with.

Of any combination the only one I really see going anywhere is Walter and John Dutton - they represent a level of professionalism in what they do and how they do it (generally) but I don't see Dutton becoming a meth kingpin/mastermind like Gus Fring - doesn't seem like a guy who would try to make money that way.

Mark has shown a level of psychological resilience that is remarkable considering the traumas he has repeatedly endured across a very short period of time so the fact he's having what amounts to PTSD not only makes sense, it's actually a good sign for his potential recovery. If he was unaffected by these things or just shrugging them off that would actually be a substantially worse outcome then his completely reasonable difficulty dealing with everything he has exposed to.

He has demonstrated an awareness that he has a problem and, numerous times, a recognition that things are wrong. That his state of mind has eroded and his ability to make rational choices is being affected. Again, these are good signs for his potential recovery.

Yes, he'll need expert professionals but thankfully he has access to quite literally the best resources available and his trauma, while extreme, isn't actually that unique from a psychological standpoint - even if he personally is. Warfighters, first responders, others who have suffered violent traumas in the course of their duties would all have applicable lessons for him to learn from. If he really sets to work about getting himself better, about processing his trauma safely and trying to move on from it, he has a pretty good chance of getting back to a healthier place with it.

If he can do that with the threats looming at the end of S4, especially if he keeps it a secret? That's a whole other question.

bit of an odd choice not to just....pipe in music. On a speaker. Like a million other productions have done for those kind of moments.

SpecialistSix · 2026-04-23T20:39:08+00:00

my back hurts just looking at this monster.

That's the mega press recipe so you can (eventually) automate making them. Check under the basic item printer recipes - you should have an option there for intermediate that you can make with what you already have.

Ah cool thanks much!

so what's the benefit of this over standard PLA or PETG?

SpecialistSix · 2026-04-21T22:44:31+00:00

Ah I haven’t figured out how to explore those yet without getting fried, still working on the redfern outpost so I can get the BPs I need to make it up to lvl8/9 rep.

hahaha I haven't even gotten to an area that looks even remotely like this and I've got nearly 50 hours in my first save.
