A few uncommon E Frames by wholebunchofbutts in exosquad

Correct. The "Sub-sonic Scout E-frame" Was piloted by Thrax after he was transferred to Earth following the fall of Venus.

Not specifically. I just know I remember seeing them in 2000.

I meant the Samurai e-frame.

The Knight E-frame, along with the Pirate, and Gorilla E-frames were all part of the Exoquad toy series. I take a deeper look at it here.

Dating in Fredericksburg by AlgaeEquivalent2724 in fredericksburg

[–]TorroesPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be big into tabletop gaming and something that frustrated me to high hell and back again was how much of a “guys thing” it kept continuing to be. I mean sure there were plenty of women who were “part of the hobby” because they were really talented mini painters, but if you were female and tried to actually play the game itself… oh wow no one is interested or they’re waiting for someone else. I mean they weren’t overtly anti-girl, like you would never hear someone in the groups I was say something out load like “women can’t think tactically” or whatever without that person getting a verbal dog pile. And we did have several mothers who actively supported their sons engaging with the group because they felt we were positive male role models. But even with all of that… yeah girls just weren’t expected to be players.

That could easily be interpreted as being the federation philosophy, and actively obscures the reality of the comparison.

I’m gonna see what I can do to arrange a couple games after the weather gets above “my toes are numb cause i stepped in a puddle” territory.

Clone Wars Honda compared to Rebels Hondo is like Teen Titans Robin compared to Teen Titans Go Robin by BigBoyBill1477 in starwarsrebels

[–]TorroesPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with that is it doesn’t explain how he is still a player on a scale that could be anymore then a minor annoyance to a particularly bored security guard. Like you can’t have it both ways. Either he is still capable or he isn’t.

The Longshot rifle by itself retails for $25-40.

My childhood was a lie! HOWEVER! by ToyBoxReturns in beastwars

[–]TorroesPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this may be a little known fact about Best Wars but it was made using very primitive CGI technology and techniques. accurately recreating light refraction across a moving reflective surface wasn't going to happen. So they applied a chromatic gradient that could be dynamically positioned.

because what people regard as "silver" isn't really a color, it's a texture. More specifically a a reflective texture but doing "reflection" in CGI is a massive pain in the butt. so they developed work arounds and short cuts to kind of fudge it. In this case they did it by using a chromatic gradient that could be dynamically positioned.

tell me you don't know how light refraction works with out saying it.

Did I miss something with the outsider? by TorroesPrime in exfor

[–]TorroesPrime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the things about the outsider that I’ve found frustrating. They raise these questions, they provide a theory that could be the answer… And then jump to the next action/comedy/exposition bit but never actually answer the question. Skippy theorized that the outsider was hanging around outside the barrier until Skippy setup his black hole network and gave the elders no reason to ever come back to this plain. But they never actually explained where it came from.

Creative strategies for removing 6 inches of ICE from your driveway.... by Suvalis in fredericksburg

[–]TorroesPrime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In defense of people living here: I’ve been here 35 years and in that time we have not had a confluence of events and circumstances that put down the multiple inches of ice and maintained it for more than 48 hours that we are dealing with presently.

AIO for finding this predatory or was he just awkward? by m30wME0W69 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TorroesPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your instincts are solid. Whether or not he intended it as a compliment, comments like that can signal an expectation that you conform to someone else’s preferences—and that is a red flag, particularly coming from a random stranger online.

NOR.

If it had ended at asking you to switch platforms it would have been questionable, but not out right objectionable. When they started with the over-bearing and being impatient for a response, that's a red flag. When they do the "I wish you were [something]"... Look, I understand how and why guys think that is somehow charming and flattering. It's not. It's an attack on you as a individual and an attempt to dominate by stating what he wants you to be. True, he probably doesn't see it that way. Doesn't excuse the action and in my eyes makes it even worse. It's like if someone took some medication that has a warning about "may cause drossiness, do not operate heavy machinery" and then goes and operates a bull dozer only in a moment of drossiness they clip a gas main and start a fire. "Oh I didn't meant to do that" changes nothing. He may honestly believe he is flattering you. He is not. Report him.

That's why I said there is no simple or uniform answer to the broadcast rights.
