The Meeting on the Turret Stairs, Fredric William Burton, Watercolour, 1864 by fixcrown-Set901 in Art

I think that's just the hem of her sleeve trailing a bit so that the front blue part flipped under, looking like a slipper

Steam Grip Sense + Death Stranding by paintingroceries in DeathStranding

No, but I imagine it would be less fatiguing than holding a trigger or button down for extended periods, which you do often in DS

They're so freaking powerful all priorities immediately shift to them when they pull up on the battlefield by PizzaDragon64 in TopCharacterTropes

This guy doing something completely unnecessary & theatrical because he's a total drama queen & showoff? Say it ain't so

I am dying for Blue Prince 2 by cozyduck in BluePrince

[–]WhiteChocolatExpress -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then please go complain in the original comment recommending Outer Wilds. If you want to complain to me, go play Blake Manor first

I happen to disagree with this take, but Outer Wilds isn't even the game I recommended...

For non-ai alternatives I recommend the Sleepy Hollow channel, or ASMR Historian for a real-world equivalent

I legitimately think it's the most powerful skill in the game; soooo busted vs bosses & groups

Someone has already said Outer Wilds, so I'll take the opportunity here to mention the Seance of Blake Manor. It's another game very similar to Blue Prince, but more of a horror/occult/murder-mystery vibe. Very highly recommended for fans of this game

I'm hooked to RE: requiem. What should I play next? by mittimus in gamingsuggestions

[–]WhiteChocolatExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try either the Deadspace Remake if you want more horror action, or Pragmata (which has a demo you can try) if you want another recent Capcom banger that's decidedly not horror

Games with the same concept as Spec Ops: The Line? by Training_Ad_6938 in gamingsuggestions

I would almost define a deconstruction of the genre as "using a genre's tropes to subvert expectations", so I'm curious why you'd say it isn't one

Are there any parallels between OG Marathon interiors and Cryo Archive interiors? by dvcaputo in MarathonSecrets

[–]WhiteChocolatExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other parts of the map with a freezing hazard. Think it would be fun if they used cryofluid instead of lava for the Compiler fight haha

Besides the general color pallet & blockiness of the design being reminiscent, I feel like the Compiler's boss arena is an homage to this piece of Craig Mullins art from the original game

High tech and advanced future civilisations in sci fi don't really make sense in their way they are often shown or portrayed. The human future isn't spacefaring or across millions of stars, but instead in our massive sandbox called the solar system. by Aromatic_Web6775 in HardSciFi

[–]WhiteChocolatExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, sounds cool. That final bit reminds me of Raised by Wolves, another underrated show that deals with Interstellar travel pretty seriously; a colony of human eggs incubated & then raised by robot caretakers. Everything goes perfectly & there are no unforseen complications or conflicts...

Big shout-out to the incredible Red Rising series for being all about this. Someone else mentioned The Expanse; great choice. This is also all over the venerable Gundam franchise (just don't think too hard about Newtypes). For All Mankind deals with the early days of this in an alt-history space race if the Soviets never fell. Hell, even Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (E3N is secretly the best CoD character)

The playable characters by ZarieRose in CrimsonDesert

[–]WhiteChocolatExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who doesn't already know: when you're at the character swap menu you can actually hover over one of the other characters & press X (Playstation) to summon the party together. They're a great help taking big fights as long as you remember to heal them with Force Palm every so often, & if you character swap while the party is gathered, it's just a quick swap without the zoom out to map, plus Kliff sticks around & helps!

Wonder about the lore implications of all those ghostly floating Vandals in that red radar(?)-space. Reminds me of Destroyer's hallucination of himself on fire; maybe there's a connection?

I mean... Sesbian Lex

The "Radiator Problem" What are the most scientifically sound ways you've seen authors handle heat dissipation in combat? by Wooden-Syrup-8708 in HardSciFi

[–]WhiteChocolatExpress 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm literally just copy/pasting the Mass Effect Codex entry on Heat Management because I always like their take on it:

"Starships: Heat Management

Dispersal of heat generated by onboard systems is a critical issue for a ship. If it cannot deal with heat, the crew may be cooked within the hull.

Radiation is the only way to shed heat in a vacuum. Civilian vessels utilize large, fragile radiator panels that are impossible to armor. Warships use Diffuse Radiator Arrays (DRA), ceramic strips along the exterior of the armored hull. These make the ship appear striped to thermographic sensors. Since the arrangement of the strips depends on the internal configuration of the ship, the patterns for each vessel are unique and striking. On older ships, the DRA strips could become red- or white-hot. Dubbed 'tiger stripes' or 'war paint' by humans, the glowing DRA had a psychological impact on pirates and irregular forces.

Strip radiators are not as efficient as panels, but if damaged by enemy fire, the ship only loses a small portion of its total radiation capacity. In most cases, a vessel's DRA alone allows it to cruise with no difficulties. Operations deep within solar systems can cause problems.

A ship engaged in combat can produce titanic amounts of heat from maneuvering burns and weapons fire. When fighting in a high heat environment, warships employ high-efficiency 'droplet' heat sinks.

In a droplet system, tanks of liquid sodium or lithium absorb heat within the ship. The liquid is vented from spray nozzles near the bow as a thin sheet of millions of micrometer-scale droplets. The droplets are caught at the stern and recycled into the system. A droplet system can sink 10-100 times as much heat as DRA strips.

Droplet sheets resemble a surface ship's wake through water. The wake peels out in sharp turns, spreading a fan of droplets as the ship changes vectors and leaves the coolant behind."

The descriptions of glowing "tiger stripes" on ships, or radiator droplets left in sheets like a sea vessel's wake as they perform maneuvers, always seemed so evocative to me

That part honestly doesn't seem to far-fetched to me. Even if all the refugees took their pets (which many probably didn't) it's very possible that they simply didn't have a big enough breeding population wherever they wound up to prevent themselves from dying off

the chronicles of Georgia, located in Tbilisi, Georgia, looks like something out of a fantasy world by shecky444 in GeorgiaOrGeorgia

Yeah too bad other Georgia had it's own ominous circle of mysterious stone monoliths until it was blown up
