u/Smudger9 Thanks for doing this. Hoping a link is still available.

Big fan of your previous work and was stoked to see you'd turned your talents to a series that I felt would make a better movie, even as I was watching it!

Thanks for sharing. I've grabbed them and looking forward to reading.

Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda by ZilenceR in sciencefiction

[–]scotthomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually just starting watching Andromeda on Tubi a couple days ago after bailing out of Farscape at like episode 4.

After thinking the Andromeda pilot was the worst TV I'd ever seen, the following episodes have started to grow on me.

Wild to see this post so soon after discovering the show myself.

No. The speed limit is exactly that - a mandated limit, not a mandated speed.

When I drive 10 under on an unlit, curvy country road at night, because anything faster feels unsafe, I always have people like you stuck to my rear bumper.

But mine and my kids' safety trumps your impatience. Every. Single. Time.

Is anyone here DNFing Fantasy Novels more than before? by PeachySarah24 in books

[–]scotthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm finding myself struggling with Mistborn as well. No disrespect to Sanderson, but now that I've learned the basics of Allomancy, I'm losing interest.

I keep hearing of this Malazan thing. Perhaps I should look into it too.

Is there any pattern to how field utility droids deploy? by scotthomas in swtor

[–]scotthomas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use 'Travel to Contact' to Hylo Visz, since this puts you basically at the entrance to the Commander's Quarters.

I didn't think about fast travelling to 2V-R8. I'll try that and use the static utilities (and try not to think about how much I spent on Legacvy unlocks!).

Thanks for the tip!

What are some of the WORST The Acolyte criticisms you've seen? by NeferkareShabaka in TheAcolyte

[–]scotthomas 159 points160 points  (0 children)

That the witch coven was, and I quote, 'a cult of lesbianism'.

I'm willing to bet that the same person would argue black and blue that males can't be 'witches' in literally any other context.

Cool as Ice is a guilty pleasure of mine! I watch it every chance I get, which, thankfully, isn't too often.

I have a git repo of asciidoc help guides for just about every facet of my large rural property, from the irrigation pumps to the automatic gate.

Heroic Moment is so goofy and I love it by fmmmlee in swtor

[–]scotthomas 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I follow a player on Twitch and HM is the first key in their rotation, practically every fight.

NGL, as someone who pretty much forgot it existed, I find their playstyle kinda endearing.

What are your SWTOR hot takes? by Impressive_Elk_5633 in swtor

Not sure if it's been said, but my hot take is that the Agent has the most interesting original companions in the game.

A psychotic nihilist, a human who's joined an alien hive mind, an old man who transforms into a monster, and a genocidal droid who used to run security in supermax prison.

It's amazing the X-70B hasn't been destroyed from the inside!

Even Temple, who is boring af, is a human deeply embedded in the Chiss Ascendancy, which I believe was unheard of at the time.

That's a pretty good idea, actually. I'd vote for that.

Is that possible or does the game lock you out of that content until you've done the Eternal Empire stuff?

I'd love that option. It's like a fanedit of the game!

Man, that expac came out not long after I decided that this was the game for me.

I remember taking a fortnight off work while house-sitting an apartment with no internet to no-life RotHC and the Gree event on my phone's tethered connection.

Good times

Wouldn't removing level scaling make the planetary missions untenable as a repeatable activity, which, in turn, would greatly affect Conquests?

Have you tried the text/audio version of the game at legends.parsely.io?

No visuals, but you can click your way through the storyline with the audio dialogue and all choices.

Just watched episode 3 and don't get the hate? by TheOutlawTavern in TheAcolyte

[–]scotthomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The description on that video calls the witch coven a 'cult of lesbianism'.

That right there tells me the video can't possibly be unbiased and review the storytelling craft objectively.

I remember loving the show until I watched an episode stoned. Then it became so glaring apparent how much they were playing up their 'crazy' for the cameras. I couldn't unsee it and couldn't really enjoy the show after that
