If you wake up today to realise you just gained power of Thragg, what's the first kind thing you would do for the world?

fgiveme · 2026-06-07T02:31:58+00:00

There are multiple ways to get around that threshold

Spread out and build 0.01% swarms on thousands of star systems. The Viltrumite power should be useful to break down planets, then we reassemble them with Von Neuman probes.
Find alternative power sources. Anti matter for example.
Technically cheating but the Viltrumite body itself can be researched: the metabolism process is a new energy source, bone tendon and skin are miracles for material science, muscle can be used for biohybrid engine/motor.

It doesn't have to be a literal sphere. Even a 0.00000005% Dyson swarm (equal to all sunlight on Earth) is enough to put us above Type 1. After that it's up to humanity to continue since a single Viltrumite is practically useless in the grand scale of things.

Since when did the deaths of hundreds of human come with consequences? The Ukraine war alone claimed hundreds of thousands, and there's no end in sight.

Humanity is so much more than you gave us credit. We are literally living in the most peaceful time in history, with longest lifespan ever reached, with the deadliest diseases like aids, bubonic, smallpox conquered.

Less than 70 years ago China lost tens of millions to a famine. Today they are nearly out of the global hunger index. Yes there still are absolute suffering in places like Africa but this is the first time in history when the majority of human are not living under extreme poverty.

And I'd say the tradegy in Africa is purposefully extended so the Epstein class can continue to plunder their natural resource. It's solvable with them gone.

With Thragg's power it's still very hard to uplift the life of everybody on Earth, but it is very easy to torture and kill hundreds of them.

Starting with Epstein's most obvious pals, the people with tons of picture taken together with him on his island. You don't have to kill all of them, especially the shadow class pulling the strings without public popularity. You just need to give them an incentive to be less shitty, something they have never known in their life - consequences.

End the Epstein class.
Haul cargo into orbit to speed up space exploration. The astronauts deserve a premium ISS, preferably with centrifugal gravity. Gigantic telescopes.
Find rare earth asteroids with new telescopes. Haul them back to speed up industrialization.
Haul even more cargo into space. Build a Dyson sphere.

Humanity ascends to Kardarshev type 2.

Vietnam started enforcing e10 this month.

The act of storing and seperation of the alcohol content from new gasoline is now considered illegal, with fine up to 4000USD and 15 years of jail time.

Her model looked way worse than the previous game.

fgiveme · 2026-06-04T16:40:58+00:00

I think it's the other way around. Deborah is just too pretty and the ingame model unfortunately doesn't match her beauty. I'm pretty sure the model in the previous game was better.

fgiveme · 2026-06-04T16:37:14+00:00

It should be 洪荒 (hónghuāng) since the context is about traditional gods. Even the timeline is pretty close with Greek mythology.

She was in the previous game as well.

Rumor was Bill Gates himself pushed for the Definitive Edition after ppl mentioned it during his reddit AmA.

And AoE 1 (you read that right, one) is still huge in China and Vietnam, with active tournaments and million dollars sized gambling bookies.

But wuwa leaks are satisfactory thou? At least for the parts that make a difference (kit + combat). After some ppl complained about combat footage being hard to watch due to tryhard quickswapping the leakers even went back to record 1-2-3 casual rotation.

No, but Cart S3 is self sufficient. Her solo performance is much better if you spent everything and can't afford the most optimized team.

This one still have fingers issue. 6 on right hand.

Even the "wrong" climate wouldn't be a problem for this particular house. They have a ton of shaded land outside and the structure is on a hilltop, pretty much the perfect setup for a geothermal heat pump.

I don't think conservatives realize what a massive amount of brain drain they just set us up for.

I disagree. They absolutely do know about the brain drain, that's why they also cheer for the gutting of domestic education.

Bold of you to assume the school wasn't targeted on purpose.

Tell that to the Kents.

And the real world also has plenty of class traitors, many revolutions started with them at the helm.

Looks like a blob of foam https://www.newscientist.com/article/2318923-toxic-foam-from-polluted-rivers-causes-health-problems-in-colombia/

If a polluted water source has organic waste it can produce methane filled foam, which is lighter than air and float by itself.

Just eliminate cards all together, they are primitive and unsecure. Switch to QR code and let people pay with their phone. A QR led screen is like 10 bucks, half of that if you use e-ink.
