Re: The science behind Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin

Thanks Arioch, I guess we'll have to wait and see where the author goes, the hints of an advanced civilization are there, but dunno how he is going to justify all the titan bullshit lol joestej: indeed, I find titans and titan-shifters very hard to explain, at least under modern science. The closest...

The science behind Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin

First of all, let me apologize for the off topic thread, please erase it if it's an inconvenience, I just thought bringing this topic here would mean a more interesting debate than some manga forums, seeing as there are so many knowledgeable scifi fans here. Second, this post will contain spoilers f...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Holy cow man, thankfully the Loroi have quite a strong foundation as a society and if the Umiak don't win the war it is likely they will grow even stronger, but races that know about their potential will definitely be distrustful. Makes you wonder if the Historians felt threatened and actually engin...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre

Is this non-standarization something common in the umiak culture? and they just overcome with massive dedication to production and complete disregard to anything that may be an obstacle to it? sounds like a design phylosophy that wouldn't start at the highest level out of nowhere.

Re: "The Expanse" New Show on SyFy

Yeah, posted about it in another thread but kind of regretted not making a new thread, the show is so good it deserves to be known.
Best scyfy show to date, lots of things to love, in particular the space battle, even if we didn't see much of it.

Re: Page 74, Loroi order of battle

"The expanse": set in a far future where travel within the solar system is rather fast and reliable, where Mars and the Moon are colonized, plus other smaller colonies elsewhere in the Solar System and beyond (so far, mormon pilgrims lol) and people have diverged enough to consider themselves fully ...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Looking like the makings of an epic chapter.
And holy shit those umiak are sick fucks, hope the loroi send them the way of the trilobites before humanity has to face them in a war alone.

Re: Page 108 & 109 Discussion

Just about everything you've said is true, but recall that one of the central questions for Humanity in this story is which side should they take? If everything where that clear-cut, there wouldn't be much plot tension. The fact that the Loroi are just as likely to decide to exterminate Humanity be...

Re: Page 108 & 109 Discussion

Not really, the Orgus gave us the Umiak perspective and it sucks donkey balls. The handful of Orgus that escaped aren't exactly the most unbiased of sources either though. Remember that neither the Umiak nor Loroi tolerate neutrality, and if the Orgus had ticked off the Loroi they wouldn't have bee...

Re: Page 108 & 109 Discussion

Well, so far we're only seeing things from a Loroi perspective. Of COURSE they'll make themselves sound the better, more sensible party. The Umiak would do the same. To make a truly sound judgement, Alex would need to see both sides. Not really, the Orgus gave us the Umiak perspective and it sucks ...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

I think I peed myself a little in the end lol, yeah you don't want to be caught alive in that war, no matter the side. Goes for the humans too, the umiak are going to be awfully interested on human immunity to telepathy, let alone our similarity with their main enemy. Great end to the chapter :D ama...

2 pages? is it christmas yet?
Awesome pages, I like how Tempo offers a rather objective and dispassionate point of view regarding the war, considering how fucked up the umiak attack was. If they had done that to humanity our representative would be foaming at the mouth lol

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

The Historians are playing quite the dangerous game, no doubt whoever wins the war will look at their involvement helping both sides in committing complete genocide against each other. And I doubt they will be able to resist the surviving superpower, no matter how depleted it is or how superior thei...
