"Humans use a variety of sex toys... quite a variety for both genders... none of which I'm aware of are heated."

Actually some of them are, though texture seems to matter more than temperature.

Anyone else thinking of this Not the 9 o'clock new sketch?

But if I'm sitting in a chair and I decide that I need to get up and go do something, to say that the nerve signals to start motor function arrive before I've made the decision to move (which is what Demarquis appears to be saying) is to claim that nerve signals travel backwards in time. If you say...

Well, I am aware of research that indicates that when we decide to move our arm, the signal to do so originates outside of the pre-frontal cortex (where conscious thought takes place). The motor signal actually arrives at the arm a fraction of a second *before* we consciously think the decision to ...

We may think thoughts before words, but we are definitely wired for understanding thoughts as WORDS even BEFORE we understand it, since toddlers who speak their mother tongue definitely don't fully understand it until they take classes in school that explain it. The difficulty there is you are usin...

Ooooh, if you have a reference you could share on that I would love to read it! I shall try and find some. It mainly comes from very disturbing research that hints that our conscious awareness sits above our ego and kind of justifies its existence after the fact! :( Not something I particularly wan...

I cannot fathom how anyons can use telepathy to express complex subjects coherently without using any sort of language.

I believe there is a fair amount of evidence that when we think things in our heads, the words that frame the thought come last and aren't really needed at all.

I love how Beryl sees everything so positive.

Not really the way I see soldiers react, who are often very cynical....

I see Beryl's job as being very close to Marketing

I would just add that we don't know how vague or exact Alex was being when he said "about here"

Wiggling your finger across a few hundred parsecs!

Is there any particular advantage that the Loroi would gain from capturing this Umiak ship intact?

I think they are hoping to be able to sneak throuh the Umiak lines with it and back to safety.

That brings up an important point - why is Beryl so sure the area is clear just because she can't sense minds, might there not be automated or robotic defences without minds? Would you put automated weaponry... in the place where you store your torpedoes? The way you have written them makes them so...

My slight interest in seeing Michael Keaton as Batman again is outweighed by my disgust for Ezra Miller. I decided I'd rather rewatch Flash Point Paradox than reward Hollyweird for their questionable script and casting decisions. I am with you on this. The few things I have seen Ezra in do not conv...

Just like Alex could barely digest Lori's food, whatever it was?

If we take Earth as a pattern, then just drinking the water from a few hundred miles from where you normally reside can be enough to make you ill (even when you just assume non-harmful bateria).

I am a 56 year old curmudgeon and I thought the first one was pretty darn good.
So I will probably get round to seeing the new one.

I think Tempo may be aware that something is leaking.

Agreed. She never forgets. So she I would be surprised if she has not picked up on the hints Alex accidentally dropped.

Problem is, the one Loroi whom Alex seems to have some resonance with is... Fireblade.

We don't learn about Alex's troubling history and weakness for red heads until much later in the story.

Should I have spoilered that?

what’s to stop them from doing that to humans if they become so inclined?

In that case lets hope our resistence to telepathy & mindprobes extends to whatever it is that Fireblade is doing :/

Maptools seems optimized for D&D 5e.  Is there another for GURPS (any ed) or Traveller (any ed)? Maptool is completely game agnostic, it just somes loaded with some D&D type defaults for lights and token sizes and such. But all that is entirely customisable. Plenty of people use Maptool for GURPS. ...

Since moving to the Philippines for retirement (I am 65), the possibility of finding 2 to 5 people to run any kind of Old-School TTRPG in person is asymptotically zero. I do pretty much all my TTRPG via Maptool these days. I am a sometime contributor to the project, which can be found here: https:/...

I don't think anything the Loroi did or didn't do make them the opponents of the Umiak.

As far as we know!

Has anyone mentioned that the index page says "30 Match 2022" ?
