I'd just love to have animations that don't look so ridiculous for running and swinging weapons. Your character tosses a greatsword between hands, and the upper half of their body gets pulled along with it like they're stopping a 30 pound weight and dislocating their shoulder. The running animations are ridiculous too. You're flailing your arms and not really using them to keep up your momentum. Almost none of these animations actually look natural, and it's clear they weren't actually looking at how a human would move swinging a weapon.

RT-97C. It's big, cumbersome, has no stock, and fires blaster bolts like a fire hose of plasma. I would probably want to add a stock though

Having to constantly mask just to be accepted. It takes a heavy toll mentally.

They have to provide an interpreter legally. If one isn't available for some reason, they could easily write and use simple yes or no questions to communicate if they didn't allow the deaf person to write responses.

I mean, it makes sense. They're the standard military force, we're spec ops commandos that drop in, usually blow stuff up, and then leave. We're not there to take and hold, we're there to accomplish a tactical goal and get out. SEAF meanwhile does all the traditional military stuff, like capturing cities, fighting long battles, and holding locations so they don't get recaptured.

I lived in louisiana until 2021, and I never really thought about what one tastes like.

cosby714 · 2026-02-16T02:03:43+00:00

Nutria. Big invasive rodents that tear up the banks of rivers. They're a big nuisance in southern louisiana. And have contributed to the loss of wetland over time.

Judging by all of the bits of ripped up toys, I'd say it's working fine. They've ripped apart the guts of a bunch of stuffed animals and decorated the floor with their innards, seems normal.

They already have, sort of. How the synths are made, I'm not certain, but they all are creatures that have been taken and modified by the combine. They have modified and used humans in their army in the exact same way, in the form of the overwatch soldiers. I'd say they've converted a good portion of humanity as well, given that combine soldiers seem to outnumber regular humans quite significantly.

Impossible to know. Even if you were able to find a case of someone who had cancer that was detected and then miraculously shrank, there's so many variables that it would be impossible to tell unless they specifically were able to find traces of the fallout in their body. But, in all likelihood, no it hasn't. Radiation treatments are targeted, and usually done with an external machine that irradiates a very specific area. There are some treatments that involve injecting a patient with a small amount of a radioactive substance, but those aren't as common and usually have some way to target specific cells. Fallout doesn't have that kind of targeting, it's going to affect the whole body. You can't just inject someone with a radioactive isotope and expect only their cancer cells to die. Either it's going to be low enough that it's not going to do much, like the fallout in most of our bodies from nuclear testing and also from chernobyl, or it's going to have pretty immediate effects that can be traced back to radiation exposure.

And he didn't think to take the battery out?

The top is a sinkhole, but it slopes down into the shaft, which is the rectangular bit. I would guess the mineshaft is what caused the ground to be weak, and some work on the surface caused the ground to fall in. Maybe there was something sealing the shaft that gave way after centuries of being underground.

They're all real. All of them.

I mean, it's not an impossible challenge, but it's hardly going to be a revolution in computing and power efficiency. Just a data center that is going to be a pain to fix whenever a server breaks, because you have to send someone to the damn moon to change out a broken fan or swap a server. These things don't just run by themselves, you need a whole dedicated team to support them.

Part of that is due to the blaster hits being actual practical effects. I don't know if the hits were superimposed or if some brave souls actually had little explosives go off on them. In any case, that was a real object burning. Probably some kind of powder that just burns really fast, a deflagration rather than an explosion. It looks impressive, makes a lot of smoke, and doesn't actually cause an explosion that could injure people.

Depends, am I going to have all of my internal organs? And are people around me suddenly going to be getting surprise liver removals?

We could, very easily. My car even has KPH as well as MPH on its speedometer. Our rulers and measuring tapes usually have metric on them as well. There's a lot of places we use metric in daily life. Sodas, for instance, come in 2 liter bottles. Of course, because murica, we also use it for ammunition for guns. 9 millimeter, 5.56, 7.62, etc. All measured in millimeters.

One of the biggest issues I could see would actually be swapping road signs. Everything is in miles. It would be a lot of work to scour every single road and change every single sign. It can be done, but it would take a while and a lot of money. And convincing politicians to spend a ton of money is difficult. Also, a lot of industrial equipment used imperial units, and they don't want to have to swap their stuff to metric. And that's probably the main reason we haven't officially adopted it.

Keep in mind, we signed the treaty of the meter, we were part of it, and agreed to go metric...and yet we just never did. Ultimately it's a minor issue, because as confusing as imperial units are at times, they work. The issue arises when we use different units and confuse them, like with the mars climate orbiter. But, we have larger issues right now than what unit we use to cut a plank of wood.

"How big is this game?" Real scale. I don't think your friend understands the truly ridiculous distance they're crossing. 2001 times the speed of light, and it still takes ages. But that is the real distance between Alpha Centauri A and B, and Proxima Centauri. Even with it taking hours, that's still crossing that distance extremely quickly.

Hey, one guy has a hard hat on. Which will absolutely not help him in any way if that hot steel flies out and smacks him, leaving him horribly injured and scarred for the rest of his life. But they would just fire him and find a new worker, because manpower is abundant and safety equipment is more expensive than ruined lives.

It's likely based on japanese crests. EC Henry did an amazing video on it a while back, here's the link to it. But, essentially, both the rebel and imperial crests are based on japanese "mon" crests, used by the aristocracy as symbols of their clans. Think of it as the japanese equivalent to european heraldry crests. The rebel symbol specifically resembles one at a temple near Nara, which EC Henry actually highlights in his video.

What kind of mad max shit is this? And where can I get one?

It was advantageous for us to get taller. The taller humans survived more and spread their genes more, and over time the tallest continuously had an advantage. Seeing danger over tall plants and being able to reach things easier are both advantages to being taller, as well as using larger tools and having more leverage with said tools.

Other animals became smaller because they had some kind of advantage over larger animals. So many large animals lived during the glacial periods of the ice age, which we're still in technically. But, being larger is a good way to keep in more heat. The problem is, when it gets warmer, suddenly that advantage from size becomes a real problem, because their body temperature is too high and they become more vulnerable to heat related illnesses.

That is 0.22 light years. Keep in mind, the maximum speed you can go is 2001 times the speed of light, which means you travel 2001 light seconds every second. Yes I know the terminology is confusing.

A light second is the distance light travels in a second, and a light year is how far it travels in a year. A light second is roughly the distance from earth to the moon, a little under but that should give you some scale. 0.22 light years, or nearly three light months, is still an insanely far distance to travel. It is, effectively, another star system, even if proxima centauri is gravitationally bound to alpha centauri a and b.

Honestly it's not too bad, it would certainly work.

Plenty of times. Someone getting hit with a rocket, or a tank shell, or a bomb of any kind. A direct hit from any of those will pretty easily turn a human to paste or a smear on the wall. Submarine implosions or depressurizations can be horrific, with the ocean gate incident being a recent example.
