Videogames 2023: Dreams of the Sandbox Kings
Secretary of Eumenes replied to IlyaP's topic in Entertainment
I liked it, which made it by default one of the best games I'd played in years. More a reflection of gaming, and star wars in particular I think than the worthiness of the game itself I think. Not to say it's horrible. I liked it. It was like a better version of Force Unleashed. I felt like it was the base version of what could be a trillion SWs games of all genres. But I'm a crazy person and Disney and EA have forgotten more about ruining art than I'll ever know... God willing -

NFL next- The Superb Owl you hate
Secretary of Eumenes replied to DireWolfSpirit's topic in Entertainment
I look forward to my team signing Mr. Carr for the highest-est-est contract ever. Then trading down to take the 3rd best LT off the board. Meanwhile, Lamar is worth 3 firsts. But if I was Lamar I would not want to let myself be traded for that. He will get top-top dollar no matter what. Taking all those picks from your new team hamstrings you trying to win SB - nah Ravens got lucky. They didn't believe in him. Trading 1 first rounder, that seems fair. Otherwise, they can tag him one more time and it's all Lamar's world from there. Scorched earth -

I was thinking Reapers, from Mass Effect. I'm just glad I'm not alone in knowing that one day the tablets will updating us. -
Goddammit! Just my luck that I finally created the perfect instrument of henchman-ey destruction at the same time I turn Good. What kinda universe is this??? booooooo!

Yeah, I think @horangi has already covered this but I was left wondering if the machine would grade out as more or less sociopathic than the real thing... I mean, think about it actually. The machine can be programmed to respect workers' rights... right? Fuck it, can't be worse than what we got. Unshackle that shit. Let's got to the next stage of human extinction: The AI One -

Videogames 2023: Dreams of the Sandbox Kings
Secretary of Eumenes replied to IlyaP's topic in Entertainment
The times I tried to play The Elder Scrolls: O and Star Wars: The Old Republic I did not leave particularly impressed. Perhaps time has improved the efforts. I thought both were very pay-to-play ish and I didn't really have anyone to play with anyways. Good to hear those two franchises are spreading some joy around somewhere though -
Lol. I forgot that I'm saving this week's episode until next week. 'Cause I'm impressionable like that Don't let me near the Ark. At least not the one with the Covenant around. ne e t X i t s

Not physical maneuver Time. Not moving against space. Trans-solar, not trans-galactic... I described it as throwing an anti-planet equipped dart against the backspin on the universe. The vessel. The Ballistar doesn't move. It phases. The solar system you are targeting spins to it Not trans-galactic Not interstellar Not Star Wars -

"Dream Crusher" reminds me of the Sun Crusher. In my second shitty sci-fi book I wrote (which is kiiiinda like a distant-shared universe with the FIRST shitty sci fi book I rote) basically the entire story takes place on something called a Ballistar It's not just a cheapo sound-a-like to Battlestar. I mean yes, it sounds like that. And I do mean to advantage off of this similiarity. But my thing is waaay cooler than a Spacecraft Carrier. It's like a Space submarine. They call it a Ballistar because it doesn't have its own engines. It is 'spun' for trans-solar maneuver. Then shot or thrown forwards in physical space as it moves backwards-and-sidewards through time to show up on the other side of the enemies' Real Space defenses. (Think NO MAN'S LAND in 1918, but in space and across a significant portion of the galaxy instead of France.) Shoot a special torpedo into the choicest planet in the targeted solar system. Special torpedo starts chain reaction of fusions in core of planet that turns planet into sun. Completely fucks entire solar system, not just single planet Space submarine, Ballistar, takes advantage of space-lightning produced by collapse-of-planet-into-star to sheer off the back of their own vessel which triggers a second 'spin' for trans-solar maneuver. Await rescue by your friends. Who are Space Nazis. Because only Space Nazis would nuke an enemy population center when they're unable to win victory in the field and unwilling to concede defeat... At least defeat on their opponents' terms. I called it STARMAKERS -
I assume his plan to build the batteries involves asteroid capture?

Dope. Meanwhile, "Dream Crusher" that's interesting. I don't ever really foresee myself owning a boat. But if I owned the heart of a man who owned a boat I could see myself negging him into naming it "Sonar" Might even let him add a name of his own, after my name of course, if I really thought he was worth it. "Sonar... something..." It has a certain romantic sound to it I'm an American. We fucking love fusion -
I lost access to the forum's fantasy football program because I wouldn't pay Yahoo's ransom when my password expired or something and needed reset.

What are you reading? First Quarter 2023
Secretary of Eumenes replied to williamjm's topic in Literature
I picked up Chelsea Manning's book today. I would love to pretend that when I referenced her the other day as "Danielle", that I was practicing a certain type of Italian art... But I was just really high and mixed her up with a football player See, though, the advantage of that Italian art discipline... I don't have to admit that it was a slip. Anyway, I gotta try and find something to laugh about because I didn't ever have to dig too deep into this sisters' story before to know that it's fucking beyond horrible. And I don't like horror for horror's sake, usually. I'm afraid of the dark on my own. I never liked Aliens because it was scary. I loved it because the survivors get away and the rapey monsters BURN -
Rest in peace, Lilith of Tarth
Secretary of Eumenes replied to TrackerNeil's topic in General Chatter
I don't wanna be crashing on someone's grief when I didn't know either party. But I also find the 'reactions' things to not be enough to express my appreciation for what you wrote. It was beautiful and heart-hurting and I hope you're okay.
