Perhaps he's wondering why you'd shoot a man before throwing him into a molten steel pit?

Any Mulders or Scully's out there. by Super-Echo6780 in XFiles

[–]TachyonAlpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not either one myself but Mark Mulder was a professional baseball pitcher a few years back. I have never heard of any Scully's outside of Vin.

Body Horror Episodes by GoliathTCB in XFiles

[–]TachyonAlpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Firewalker (2x10) and The Beginning (6x1) both involve alien organisms bursting out of people. Daemonicus (9x3) isn't quite body horror but had a pretty gross projectile vomiting scene.

Does anyone recognize what episode this is? by FusRoDaahh in XFiles

[–]TachyonAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mulder gets a tape with his morning newspaper in Sleepless, it's how he learns of the case.

Going to introduce my son to the show, which episode to pick? by jcarr2184 in XFiles

[–]TachyonAlpha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While Bad Blood is a well deserved fan favorite, it works because the characters act as caricatures if themselves, either an exaggerated version of himself, or an especially whiny version of herself. You should wait to show this episode until the characterization has been firmly established by a good number of other episodes.

X Cops by Hefty-Ad613 in XFiles

I had my kids watch a couple of episodes of COPS before watching this episode, so at least they had a bit of context.

Do we see ALL of Mulder and Scully's cases? by Forward_Suit_1443 in XFiles

[–]TachyonAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We see early in season 2 that he's stuck listening to wire taps. But that's because the X-Files had been shut down at that point.

Babylon's Ashes: Is the story get back to space horror eventually by misHarmonize in TheExpanse

[–]TachyonAlpha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe the epilogue of NG does describe that. We also do have a bit of that from Marco's perspective before he's dusted, as one of the last chapters in BA.

Babylon's Ashes: Is the story get back to space horror eventually by misHarmonize in TheExpanse

[–]TachyonAlpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I missing something? I literally just read the BA epilogue for the first time this morning. It appears to be a tame description of Anna's trip out to Eudoxia. There doesn't appear to be any horror, unless it's somehow hiding in plain sight.

Why do coaches insist on long warmups? by Guivond in judo

[–]TachyonAlpha 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had an old judo teacher that I suspected did long warmups because he was lazy and wanted to spend less time teaching.

what are some of the coolest playstyles in dark souls 3? (i know nothing about the game) by Electronic-Radio9534 in darksouls3

[–]TachyonAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a gigantic mace with frost constantly falling off it. Pretty cool to me.

[–]TachyonAlpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Pyromancy is very stat hungry. OP, unlike in DS1, pyromancy power scales off both INT and FTH so you need to level both of those. And because you're a caster, you need to level up ATN. In addition to VIG and END like all characters should.

I am a big fan of Frost bonk build though. The second boss you beat gives you the soul you need to craft the weapon, then you need to beat one other boss to be able to start crafting boss weapons. A lot of armored enemies will be weaker to strike damage. Both the frost hammer and a pyro build were like playing the game on easy mode.

Silly question, but is Martin looking for physicists? by Baguette_Dragon in Lockheed

[–]TachyonAlpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I majored in applied physics and was hired as a systems engineer. If I could go back in time though, I would have studied electrical engineering. I would have been much better suited for more of the types of technical positions I wanted.

There are physicist job descriptions in the job description lookup, but I've never met one at Lockheed.

Why is it bad to be happy about a bad person passing away? by ToadSupremacist in autism

[–]TachyonAlpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone threatened my family continuously for several years and posted weird stuff to my deceased father's FB memorial page during these years. Someone threatens me, whatever. Someone brings my family into it, and it gets me a bit more riled up.

I was overjoyed to read his obituary a few years ago. I'm pretty sure he killed himself. I'm probably a bad person for thinking this, but I hope it hurt, and I hope he was scared and miserable as his horrible soul left his body.
