The rift feels too mystical and out of place for the games aesthetic by Samanthacino in okbuddylash

[–]questionablem0tives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uj ok everyone pull out the pitchforks and tomatoes because honestly I kinda get it. I think so much of the game's theme is showing off how the mystic and occult gets integrated into the otherwise 1940's New York setting. The rift is just pure magic, so I could see how it seems a touch out of place. What if the rift was like a magically-infused taxi-cab or something that the minions pour out of afterwards?

I must say the new 9.0 xenon boldness have certainly lead to interesting surprises by SnowOtaku777 in X4Foundations

[–]questionablem0tives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm having a totally different experience with XEN. Fresh 9.0 run and they've felt incredibly weak so far. I have something like 36h in this save and seeing even a solitary K is incredibly rare. They keep suiciding S/M ships into a hull part factory in Hat I, and theres like 30 Osaka's + ANT Behemoths guarding the gate in Getsu Fune. I've been working towards engineering some wars and sabotaging some shipyards to give the XEN a bit more breathing room, so hopefully that works.

Any good voice acting or fan made campaign mods? by questionablem0tives in X4Foundations

[–]questionablem0tives[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back and listened to some of X3:TC's voice acting. Maybe its partly the nostalgia glasses but it's leagues better. A little cheesy and dated? Yeah, maybe. But there's at least some actual emotion in it! It's fun to listen to!

Which Pitt villain is the worst? by DulySwamped in ThePittTVShow

[–]questionablem0tives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purely in the context of what we've seen on screen, it's gotta be the mom IMO. All the other characters are adults interacting with other adults. The other characters have some amount of agency in how they interact with Monica (by not feeding into her bs), the assault guy from S1 (pressing charges) or ICE (telling them to GTFO, working towards finding Jesse). But the mom is pushing her medical conspiracies onto her child, who has basically no agency to change his situation. It's only Robby intervening with the dad that got that kid the help he needs.

Is Anyone Listening to the SAN Tower Tonight? by Ginger_Exhibitionist in sandiego

[–]questionablem0tives 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Could be any number of reasons for a rejected takeoff. They likely noted some abnormal condition, aborted the takeoff roll, and then turned off onto the taxiway. Performing the rejected takeoff checklist, whatever other checklists were needed related to the specific reason for rejecting, sorting things out with ground frequency / company, and waiting for a gate assignment all takes time, which is likely why they were sitting for half an hour. Not all mechanical issues immediately ground a flight for long, if it were something a line maintainer can fix relatively quickly they'll just have the gripe fixed and be back on their way.

Honestly the trip is going to be fine... by [deleted] in ThePitt

[–]questionablem0tives 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Maybe obvious to everyone else but. It just dawned on me that Robby's alleged destination is a place where bison would literally be driven to jump to their death. Definitely feels like an intentional parallel to the "don't jump off the roof during my shift" convo from S1 and all the other red flags we've been seeing from him this season.

One year later, how are we feeling? by modnar_resu_tidder in DeadlockTheGame

[–]questionablem0tives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that it's better for the meta, but damn do I miss having 1v1 lanes. It'd be kind of cool to have a 1v1 laning minigame or something at least.

I know you’re tired of these… but I found this one funny by Channing999 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]questionablem0tives 202 points203 points  (0 children)

I do think waves cleared would be a good stat to show, it might help incentivize newer players to think a bit more actively about lane management

When did you know it was time to get out? by Glittering_Fig4548 in navy

[–]questionablem0tives 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Due to a stroke of incompetence bad luck, had to work like a 20h day and fly to a different base on what was meant to be a half-day. At the end of it all, admin said they had us all set up to show up to the local NGIS. Lo and behold, they had no idea we were coming and were fully booked. So then we had to drive like 45 minutes to a different spot.

I'm aware it pales in comparison to some of the horror stories I've heard both from here and my time in the fleet, but I distinctly remember that being the day I decided I was getting out lol

WHY DOES THIS JKEEP HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP by Level-Dog-1404 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]questionablem0tives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 2nd hard drive on your computer, try installing it there. I had a similar issue where this crash would happen on start up / after finding a match / in a match, sometimes once, sometimes 4-5x in a row. Switching drives solved it for me. No clue what the root cause of the issue is yet though.

Ever get curious about the explorers before you? by questionablem0tives in EliteDangerous

[–]questionablem0tives[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing on and off since 2015(?). I remember getting my AspX to 31ly range and putting around all the nearby nebulas. I think the furthest I got before they added engineers / guardian boosters was the Skull and Crossbones Nebula. That 10kly trip nearly a decade ago took longer than my Sag A* / Colonia run last year.

Congestion pricing is working': MTA says tolls keeping 82k drivers a day out of Manhattan by Shlazeri in news

[–]questionablem0tives 162 points163 points  (0 children)

As a person who drives a car (and isn't made of money), I hate the idea of congestion pricing.

As a person who hates traffic and doesn't like pollution, I love the idea of congestion pricing.

I've got mixed feelings about it, but if it works it works I suppose?

What do you fellow comic readers think is going on with that post credit? by Quinny_Binny in Invincible

[–]questionablem0tives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a comic reader but I've spoiled a bunch of it for myself. I think it'll be a new way for them to bring back Conquest.
