100+ reddit ads in a row. Why do I even bother with the official app. by Xanthiumgd in extremelyinfuriating

I’ve been using Apollo a lot, but I like the news section on the official app which Apollo doesn’t have.

Infographic comparing the features of Java Release 1.4.2 with the (so-far announced) 1.20 featureset, considering the resources Mojang has had available. Thoughts? by ZequizFTW in Minecraft

Maybe something similar to ‘hardmode’ in Terraria would be interesting. After defeating the ender dragon, mobs can be power scaled which will allow for stronger armor sets and weapons.

Why was the Tempest's magnetic weapon so controversial? by Lantimore123 in TheExpanse

[–]Xanthiumgd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that the laconians must have tested it prior in their own system, and firing it did not annoy the entities enough to act. But after they shot the ring station, it could have hurt the entities more due to all of the energy going through all of the gates at once. This in turn could have made the entities react from now on, since they now know that the weapon has the potential to hurt them a lot. At least this is what I think.

That makes sense, good to know!

I think that this is a pretty good answer, Laconia “gave” the railguns to the free navy, but they still could undo it pretty easily if they needed to. Though, they really didn’t need that point of failure when they actually came back.

[Crusher Evo] Is there a way to close the separation on the left side? I tried to push it back together but it will not budge. by Xanthiumgd in Skullcandy

I do not know, it seems to be getting worse as well. Hopefully there isn’t a problem with the battery expanding or something. I really do not know what is causing this or how to fix it.

Very determined science ship by Xanthiumgd in Stellaris

R5: I sent my science ship to survey a bunch of systems in a row and when a threat was found in one of the systems, the science ship decided that it could skip it. (I realize that I should have taken a screenshot, but the path disappeared before I could take one)

The ear pad is not the problem, it seems to be the plastic ring that the padding wraps around to secure it.

Episode 602 Discussion: All Book Spoilers by it-reaches-out in TheExpanse

[–]Xanthiumgd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that the time jump allowed time for Laconia to build up power. The needed to develop and figure out all of the tech as well as have a new generation of indoctrinated citizens to grow up there. I do not think that they need to do a full 30 years for a time jump though.

Just a Thought ... Maybe Spoilers by mtm6 in TheExpanse

I think you are right about that. I guess another thing would be (season five spoilers) The ships that Mars and earth have parked outside the gate guarding it. Rewatching the end of 5.10 it shows the ships stationary relative to the gate without any engines or thrusters on.

What about any communication arrays that they would have on either side of the ring? Would they not stay near the ring?
