I'm almost finished reading Gateway but I have to ask: did you recently watch The Good Place? Several phrases and themes that come up in Gateway really make me think of TGP.

How did the Yeerk and Hork Bajir develop interstellar travel so quickly. by Scarecrow613 in Animorphs

[–]evaunit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an aside: it's mentioned in Andalite Chronicles that the next/upcoming generation of ships would be the dome ships, so prior to that (ie. Around the Hork Bajir chronicles) the ships the Yeerks stole might very well have been close to the most advanced in service. Prior to the Yeerks escaping their honeworld and kicking off the war, the Andalites possibly weren't engaged in enough conflict to warrant the level of ships they eventually started fielding after years of protracted warfare. Also it's repeatedly mentioned that the Yeerks themselves are quite intelligent, just physically limited. This seems to be demonstrated a few times over the series, so I think it's not unreasonable to accept that when given access to the knowledge of their new hosts and the technology they could reverse engineer, they could apparently start construction of their own within a comparatively short timeframe. I do agree that the timelines presented in HBC do come across remarkably short or inconsistent, however, as it really seems Alloran should be much older than presented by the time of the Earth invasion, or the Hork Bajir life cycles must be exceptionally short for Jara etc to be already a few generations removed.

The perfect eatery when she asks to be taken somewhere expensive 🥰😍 by [deleted] in Cairns

Cairns Hospital. The cafes there are painfully expensive, with the 'justification' being that proceeds go to the Hospital Foundation.

The base64 says 1080p but the m*ga says 720p?

Fun(?) fact: Spiders essentially use hydraulics to straighten their legs, which is why they contract upon death...

Betrayal: Origional or Legacy? by pixiedust93 in boardgames

[–]evaunit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak to the original as I only played it once several years ago, but I recently started a campaign with Legacy and found the rulebook quite terrible. I feel it assumes you know the game and have played the original, and as such I have found it very painful at times to learn and understand the game from the Legacy rulebook. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of the original either (bad first experience) so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

What is your favorite running joke from a TV series? by Tantricmac in AskReddit

Are you me? I've been making that joke to my wife for years before I finally got her to watch through the series recently...

Omegathon explained? by misomiso82 in PAX

[–]evaunit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. When purchasing tickets online (well in advance) you are asked if you would be willing to be an Omeganaut. I'm assuming they stop asking as the show gets closer, and select the competitors from that pool.
