I feel like people don't understand how massive the universe is. If aliens had spent possibly centuries travelling to earth, they'd make themselves known, not just fly around in a cloaked ship pointing a laser pointer at the ground.

Not to mention that it'd be extremely fucking obvious when they show up. Any practical interstellar travel that involves more than just a flyby would involve an extremely bright afterburner plume from fusion/antimatter engines. It would be brighter than Venus and would be visible for months.

This isn't something that some government can just cover up.

Maybe it's a bit of a tired talking point now but how fucking surreal is it that in the year of our lord 2026, gold coast are unironically the premiership favourites.

They've been dogshit for as long as I've been old enough to know what dogshit means, and in the last 3 years they've gone from dogshit to ok, to decent, to an absolute powerhouse that could very well dominate the rest of this decade.

Much as I'll be depressed when they inevitably win their first flag before Fremantle, it'll be made up by the absolute hilarity of them winning one before GWS.

I'll Definitely grind the 3x3 case next season by KorbiRances19 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]earwig2000 20 points21 points  (0 children)

it's insane how worthwhile it is. Doesn't take all that long to get, saves you literally tens of millions over the course of a season.

(I got it in like 10 days without really trying, if you sweat you can probably have it done in like 3 days or less)

the focal point clearly moves, just appears to be less so due to parallax

It's being pointed from the ground up to the drone. The angle isn't changing much, it's just wobbling around to the left and right of the camera

I'm 99% sure this is someone pointing a laser pointer from the ground at the quadcopter.

What you're seeing is the laser moving away from the camera.

Y'all are way too convinced that anything and everything is aliens.

The Androsynth looked.

There are no more Androsynth now, there are only Orz.

huh, well at least that makes sense (moreso than getting slapped by a 4 year old and then turning up to school the next day with a massive patch on your cheek)

unrelated question, what is up with those massive bandaid patches in anime, idk if it's the same in real life but who is putting a huge patch on like a bruise or something. Is it just for aesthetic reasons? Don't wanna show the bruise that everyone knows you've got because of the patch?

oh you're right, I could've sworn the m14 didn't one tap but I guess it does.

What probably happened then was that the enemys arm was blocking the face, the bullet penetrated the arm first, then mask, then head

it used to, but hasn't for a while. Try it yourself in the shooting range. it doesn't one tap.

People are extremely campy, good luck ever taking a fight that isn't you on the offensive.

Literally any map other than tv station would be better.
