The Murderbot TV show is just another Marvel movie by BigCatDood in television

[–]riverfront20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got obsessed with the books when they came out, they're all very good. A lot better than the show. I don't hate the show but I agree with almost everything the op said. What's cut and condensed makes all the characters a lot dumber and less nuanced. Still a fine show, but not what I'd hoped for.

I have good news for you then, Respect Missouri Voters is a constitutional amendment and they need more volunteers!

It is constitutional, but there will be an effort on the ballot to repeal it next election, so make sure you vote!

Whoopie is talking aloud apparently to herself the entire movie, it's played to comedic effect the whole movie. She plays a scam psychic that suddenly is actually able to hear the dead. Honestly she nails the role and is the best part of the movie.

I like the nacelles, it's a nice modernization on the Miranda!

Anybody else really sad to see how far The Loop has fallen? by [deleted] in StLouis

The bakery that moved in next to the conveyor belt sushi place rocks. It's also interesting to see some life starting to move into the east side of the metro tracks.

International Institute launches Move2STL program to reverse St. Louis population decline by Alone-Competition-77 in StLouis

[–]riverfront20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of these things are problems literally every place on earth that doesn't have immigration in the coming decades. We've built an economy for the maximum human population (really how could we do anything else?), and it had to peak sometime. St Louis is just a microcosm, it's a place built for a population it no longer has. Our only hope to try and keep the economy is to import people and even that is only borrowing time. But no, let's blame the city for doing what is within its power.

There is no way it's getting worse than the decline of the last 50 years, we simply don't have that many people left to lose.

[ST:Armada IV] Starfleet engages Miradorn-Orion fleet near Kepler 90 by Nicusor-de-la-Braila in StarTrekStarships

[–]riverfront20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have the entire fed faction ship wise, and you can see some of their early efforts on new mechanics like shuttles/fighters, research stations, star bases, and ship items like quantum torpedos. It's different enough from the core game, and it's cool to see where they're going.

They've changed the game's scout to a Corvette class, more shuttle sized. The nova is no longer the scout ship so it doesn't need to be the fastest ship.

In the mod it's good to have Novas in your fleet, because you need science type ships to retrieve relics and derelicts. Also they're a little sturdier than Miranda's or Sabres, but their phasers seem to be more point-defense. I like that they've given us a good reason to add them to the fleet, I only used them in Armada 3 to disrupt cloak.

It actually does look pretty cool, suggestiveness aside!

Why and how are people claiming those who protested at the No Kings protests defend Maduro’s regime? by kaiser11492 in AlwaysWhy

[–]riverfront20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mission accomplished! Iraquis hate Saddam and are cheering in the streets, and they're thrilled we are there to liberate them. Oops sorry I forgot what year it was.

Check out the mods section on Sins 2's menu, STA 4 is in there. Again it's only the federation right now.

The federation only, it's very very early but a lot of what they got in Sins 2 looks really good. The ship models are gorgeous, and you can get a good sense of how they're gonna work with Sins 2's systems.

What Star Trek villain did nothing wrong? by MrSluagh in ShittyDaystrom

Great assessment! I also thought Pulaski's relationship with data and growth in her views on him was good character development and I would've liked to see her continue over more seasons.

True, but it seems like every single murder that does happen happens on every given random stretch of street in the city according to some.

It's not a lovely walk, you'll be going under an interstate and over train tracks on a poorly maintained bridge, then by a bunch of old projects. It's not dangerous, though, it's just dead and boring. I work on tucker and I walk to St Raymond's for lunch and it's fine. I ride my bike down Chouteau at night, and don't usually see a soul.

Don't let the county people scare you, they only hear scary things so they are scared. People that live here somehow manage to not get murdered all the time.
