"Warp" style technology could be lifting off and landing without blowing things away if we assume that the "warp" effect is essentially buoyancy, like a balloon that uses anti-gravity rather than density differential, or that the "warp" is using traction/friction along a 4th spatial dimension rather...

What about Ankama Animations?
This is from 2008. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KOH2Ocy778
I feel like they could get close to the visual aesthetic, and have really good cinematography and effects.

The Loroi probably have some kind of altruism stemming from empathy. If I remember correctly, one of the side-files mentions there's a race that the Loroi have basically self-banned themselves from being around because the race is so susceptible to sanzai that they automatically become thralls even ...

Benioff & Weiss. I agree with picking Uwe Boll, he hates movies. Disney I can understand, for moral reasons. Spielberg I'm not sure I agree on. Sure he did Ready Player One and War of the Worlds, but he also did E.T. and Saving Private Ryan. He has some potential upside, it's more of a gamble than a...

From the 15k, how much do you pay yourself? How many hours do you have available? It's plausible to make a completed game using cheap Fiverr sellers, but it requires an absurd amount of "producer" hours to scout, communicate, organize, etc. Fiverr is good and cheap, but it is slow. You can potential...

My theory on the boarding party:

I don't think there's even been a pink-haired one shown on the shuttle at all.

Are all those wobble calculations why hyperspace jumps are risky in Outsider?

Or trucks.
Optimus Prime was a truck.

In a sufficiently advanced society with sufficiently available resources, I can see the submarine branch of the Navy choosing to do that. The aviation branch might protest that air-deployed sonar can easily find something with a profile that massive, and they can drop torpedos on it without risk as ...

So, I went to read up on the Japanese WW2 Submarine Aircraft Carriers to see what led to the creation of ridiculous, massively expensive, highly specialized, low-benefit vehicles with lots of existing lower-tech counters creating a lot of risk for their use. I thought there had only been three subma...

I went on the Boston Dynamics site to try and find out why they're making a bipedal/humanoid robot. Part of the reason seems to be just "pure" research (like how finding out that butterflies taste with their feet is a form of "pure" research). But, when describing their goals and what Atlas (the rob...

A mecha would have a smaller targeting profile for orbital attackers.
You're gonna wanna stack all those arms and guns.
But then it becomes tippy.
You'll want stabilizers.
Legs maybe?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the military domain, there's a check and balance that's suitable in all cases, and it's actual conflict. If you make expensive, impractical, over-engineered weapons while the other side makes efficient, cheap, reliable weapons, you're going to lose. The example of the M2 Bradley works here as we...

Personally, I'm fine with the "matching a neurally-piloted vehicle form to the pilot's form enables higher action pace and broader action options by cutting out brain-command translation delays and providing a familiar toolset that enables more complete exploitation of the pilot's creativity" line o...
