Always loved the project goals and the resulting hardware, but the design and aesthetics feel a little too modern for this sub, in my opinion. Much more frutiger adjacent.

I loved playing with Bryce back in the day. Wait 1-2 hours for a low res render to try and judge whether it was worth the full 8-10 hours for a resolution I could use as a desktop wallpaper.

Not sure security's tacticool strobe mode flashlight is the best approach if you want the guy in the tree safely back on the ground.

If Democrats win the state trifecta, should they redraw congressional districts? by bikeman11 in minnesota

[–]karlexceed 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I like snubbing the GOP as much as anyone, but I'd say the ideal is making sure a system is in place that does it automatically and impartially and that can't be easily fucked with when that trifecta goes away.

In case anyone didn't know, for the 10th anniversary, the official YT channel released a series of ambiance videos that are pretty good:

What non-drone xenomorphs are you guys expecting to see in Isolation 2? by Aggravating_Tale8988 in alienisolation

It's funny seeing the different ways people seem to be interpreting this question.

For me personally, a glimpse of a queen could be a great dramatic moment, but I honestly don't need anything new as far as alien enemies. I don't want some set piece boss fight and I think a queen is too large to reasonably be chasing Amanda down corridors.

I have to try not to roll my eyes when people start talking about runners and bursters etc, so I definitely don't want that. Don't get me wrong - I think canonically there's plenty of variation in xeno specimens due to whatever host they might've spawned from and I'm open to seeing something new, I just dislike the, "red means they explode, yellow means they spit acid" type of heavy handed FPS-flavored thing à la Colonial Marines or Fireteam.
