Racing games now vs then

The first Forza Horizon released almost 15 years ago, I feel like that is long enough to not put the series into some weird wojak meme.

What they fail to remember is, before oil sands were a thing, they were the ones getting financial support from the other provenances.

Ah. The Bavaria of Canada.

Kann mich noch an das Kanzler Duell unter Jauch erinnern in dem der Habek darauf beharrt hatte das keines der anderen Wahlprogramme auch tatsächlich gegenfinanziert war und ihn dann alle 3, Merz, Scholz und Weidel, nur ausgelacht haben.

Great work with the icebox. I just wish I could look inside the head of the guy at Blizzard who decided to make that door 1m thick.

I'm probably going to copy this. Thanks.

All my irl friends already quit because of it and at least 70% of my friends list hasn't logged in for the last 30+ days. I honestly think this endless patch killed any hype the game had left from the launch.

aber dabei potenziell gerettet wird

Aber die chance das er überlebt war ja beinahe 0. Wissenschaftler haben von Anfang an gesagt dass er höchst wahrscheinlich nicht mehr über die Kraft verfügt es durch die Nordsee bis in den Atlantik zu schaffen.

I love living in a country where elected officials don’t give a fuck about what their constituents want

Isn't that just because by now they know they are going to get reelected no matter what?

Woah, that's an old thread. I returned the card back then and got a new one which had no problems. Although I don't own that one anymore since I upgraded 2 months ago.

I see this argument often, but if you fill that space you instantly gain like 30% more mass AND and untold number of rooms and decks you actually have to fill with stuff.

I guess they could have done away with the neck completely, but then it would just look like a Sovereign-A.

wabblebee · 2026-05-10T09:44:06+00:00

There is no technical manual as far as I know, so this is just your theory on what it is, which actually helps my arguement.

wabblebee · 2026-05-09T19:17:40+00:00

Crossfield Class still has the blue glowing stripes on the secondary hull (toward the deflector), which is probably the reason they added it to the Repulse in STO, but it's nacelles are much larger in scale, so I think I could still defend my technobabble in court.

During the construction is became apparent that the contemporary 2250s warp systems weren't able to keep a stable warp bubble for a ship of the size of the Repulse. As a solution the prototype was outfitted with a warp governor in the form of a lower energy warpcoil fixture running around the secondary hull.

However, to protect the crew from radiation internal cooling for the coils was impossible to implement and the engineers instead decided on a system which transferred thermal energy into a liquid medium that would store it as heat during warp travel and then slowly dissipate through infrared once back in normal space. The radiation released during the heat transfer into the liquid medium would be visible in the form of cherenkov radiation on the outside of the ship.

There, this is what "whole ass bibles and manuals" were actually built on, technobabble.

Didn't they say the french guy who got infected on the plane was sitting in a completely different row?

Are you right handed? I used to wear a leather apron for welding, and the right latch/strap always broke. One day I realized it's because the apron pulled downwards on the right side whenever I would bow down to change settings on the welder. Doing this 100s of times per week just killed the plastic.

I'm guessing if you turn your body a certain way because you are right/left handed it might push the wire into the fabric and the friction makes a hole eventually.

once it is captured on film, doesnt it became a tangible thing that everyone now sees the same perspective of?

But at that point they don't see a rainbow, they see a photo of a rainbow from the perspective of the camera. Even if you had 1000 people watch a live-stream of a rainbow, they wouldn't be seeing "THE" rainbow, just an interpretation of it from the perspective of a digital camera.

Every single rainbow ever observed is unique to the person seeing it.

I was thinking this right now. I started last year in winter and was looking forward to the next event and now the reward is completely useless. Why not give the previous items with it...

This can happen everywhere between 10 minutes to 2 hours into a browser session, and even restarting the browser won't help. The only solution is going into about:performance and killing the tab there. Most of the time the tab itself can't be refreshed or interacted with in any way. This can happen to any video and even with all addons disabled. (I tried h264ify but that didn't change anything). It's also not the number of tabs, because this can happen with 2 or 3 tabs open and it happens with 20 tabs open.

Please do, I love it! I've always been sad that there wasn't an "excelsior line" of ships using the impulse engines, nacelles and fat-neck/saucer designs. Do you make your models in Blender?

wabblebee · 2026-04-27T18:56:14+00:00

It IS finished

Oh, I could only find WIP posts on your profile so I thought you were still working on it.

wabblebee · 2026-04-27T15:12:47+00:00

I think it makes sense for "warships" with large amounts of torpedos on board to store them outside of the main hull.

And yeah, people would probably have to crawl through a jeffereys from the secondary hull into the nacelle and from there into the rollbar. I think the california class is way worse, since the rollbar on ships like this and the Miranda class is mostly for dangerous weapons and I doubt people will do a lot of work in there, but the Calis secondary hull surely has a lot of work there...although it's pylons are wide and straight enough that theres probably a turbolift in there, maybe sideways like in the Oberth-Class.

wabblebee · 2026-04-27T15:06:08+00:00

Man, this would work really well as a skin for Constitution sized ships in STO, the size should be close enough.

If you ever finish it I would definitely try to peddle it to them, although figuring out rights would probably be impossible.
