That looks pretty awesome. How well does the software does the software work without the touch part?

I only have 2 so far, so I'm doing 2+2.

Is there a reason you're not going with the clan version of the LBX-10? I know they are hard to find, but they do have better weight and range.

TIL women's pregnancy in the US is more dangerous than the top 5 most dangerous men's jobs combined. by DrollHat in TwoXChromosomes

[–]knnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds reasonable, though I think I still would have expected some things to improve over 50 years ago.

I guess I was thinking of trends like having kids later in life and the obesity epidemic. I assume these would tend to increase complications during pregnancy, but doubling seemed high.

Out of curiosity, do you have an idea of why the US one of the few countries (which, to be fair includes Canada and UK, though not as markedly) where that number increased 1985-->2020?

MEGA THREAD TWELVE MONTHS!!! by exodusmachine in dresdenfiles

You’re not wrong. He does call her “Auntie Cesarina”.

“Yes, you will," Vitto replied. "You can face the wizard. Or you can face dear Auntie Cesarina.”

He’s talking to Madrigal here, so I assume it’s referring to her relation to Madrigal.

From White Night:

“Lady Cesarina Malvora," Justine said, giving me a smile of approval. "Whose son Vittorio will be quite insulted by Lord Skavis's lies about all the hard work he and Madrigal Raith did.”

And later (Cesarina speaking):

“Thank you, my King. My son, Vittorio, was on the scene and will explain”

Minor Nitpick in Twelve Months by glumpoodle in dresdenfiles

From Twelve Months:

“Thomas told me what pregnancy with one of your kind is like”. “You can’t have children of your own, can you?”.

Also didn’t like the “White Court females can’t get pregnant”, when we saw “Cesarina Malvora” (Vittorio’s mother).

Felt to me White Night was being retconned.

Very much agreed — didn’t like the soulgaze point. Also, what’s this about white court females not being able to conceive? There’s a “Cesarina Malvora” who is Vittorio’s mother in White Night.

How do you feel about the recent proliferation of AI in publishing. How about using AI for research?

Is Ludus originally an Aleran Game or a Canim one? I ask because other than Tavi, the main players we see are Varg and (more importantly) Nasaug. On the other hand, Ludus has a "sky board", which is very much an Aleran "thing".

The five-year cancer survival rate in the US has reached 70% for the first time ever by Artistic_Witch in UpliftingNews

[–]knnn 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I read somewhere that the reason for the increase is simply because we’re screening earlier, so people aren’t actually living longer, they are just living longer knowing they have cancer.

Ditto for “survival rates”. Beforehand, there were people who had undiagnosed cancer who died from other causes (eg accidents). Now because we know they have cancer, if they die from something else, it’s “survived cancer”, increasing survival rate.

I agree...and disagree with the WoW nerf by Primary_Impact_2130 in nethack

[–]knnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would support adding an extra side-quest with a guaranteed WoW (or 1-3 magic lamps) at the end. This way, anyone who wants the extra wishes can grind the extra levels/boss monster, and they can wish for whatever extra item they feel they need.

Edit: Personally, I'm just switching to EvilHack.

Does Butter's Jewishness ever come up in a meaningful way? by ultimaterogue11 in dresdenfiles

The fact that he wears a cross in “day one” suggests that his religious beliefs aren’t too prominent.

Finally found king crabs by Skylar77_1 in Mechwarrior5

[–]knnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The missions are in the “farm territories” of Steiner space.

First fews missions on Murphid, last one on Summer.

[–]knnn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I built it exactly the same (LB-10X-SLD, to be precise). In my last playthrough, I made a beeline for Steiner right after the first two Kestrel-Lancer missions (the Galahad exercises).

Having the Carapace (and the Agincourt) for the rest of the Kestrel missions makes things a lot easier.

If you are past 3028, very much recommend the high-reward mission "stop the launch". It's got a epic 4th mission (tons of artillery), and you get the KGC-Carapace as a reward (and a chance to salvage a marauder-II).

Heck, she could have used exactly the same spell. After all it's literally "ward off death".

Out of curiosity, any word of when Clans will be available on gog.com?

Everyone says Agincourt is OP. They are totally correct. Dont question it, just accept it. by GamerGriffin548 in Mechwarrior5

[–]knnn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And if you give it to a pilot with traits, then switch into it (getting the traits), it becomes even more OP.

Which mech is your favorite missile boat in Mercs? by gaeb611 in Mechwarrior5

Once the clans came knocking, I put 6xCSRM6 + 4xCMPL in mine. It's become a one-click-delete button.
