Re: Outsider Patreon Page

I'm happy to report I've made a patreon account just for this occasion, and I'm currently supporting the only patreon initiative I'm likely to ever support.

Re: RP

There are better ways to gauge interest then by Necromancing up a whole bunch of threads in the hopes people will magically re-appear and continue. I work a full time job now, and I don't have the time for this anymore, and several players have already moved on to other things. That's the short of it.

On a slightly less realism centered topic:

I highly recommend everyone to watch Onepunch Man this season. It's fantastic.

Re: Anime Discussion

By the way, this is getting an anime adaptation in january which may or may not be terrible (judging by the track record of the company producing it). That's 1980's, west and east germans fighting together against an alien menace using "real robot" Mecha, Tanks, Direct-Fire AA vehicles, and craptons...

Re: Anime Discussion

I think that it is a Japanese thing not to have overly realistic combat because the modern Japanese have an aversion with military history due to their past. Not really. There are quite a few shows with interesting doctrines and surprising realism, you just have to know where to look. LGH and Gunbu...

Re: How Would Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Fare in Outsider

What I'm wondering is how Humanity from Gunbuster would fare.

Really not even a fair fight. Buster Machines are way overpowered and make little to no sense in the setting.

But Legends of Galactic Heroes... now that would be interesting.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Interesting. So when the Barsam courier captain in Chapter 1 saw Alex, his thoughts may have been something along the lines of "So, the Loroi were also created in the image of an existing species, themselves.".

Makes it easy to understand why Alex's life may be in danger during the events to come.

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

Nah, It's only fanservice when you begin making up excuses to let stuff happen. An inter species relationship doesn't immediately count if it happens for a reason. You know, without the slapstick.

It would make sense were it possible: Tigers, Leopards and Jaguars, and these are more then a million years apart on the evolutionary tree. There's even lion-jaguar-leopard complex hybrids known as Lijagulep's out there. Theoretically speaking it should be possible, but whether such offspring is fer...

It can be argued if he's actively advocating it, but he's definitely trying to show a side of such a society that doesn't get explored often, for better or worse. Another thing that the starship troopers movies gave us was this little gem . Also, this commentary track gives an excellent insight into...

Especially when you consider that it retroactively predicted and satirized the war on terror. I know it's cracked, but read about it in more detail here . It's actually a pretty cool article. It's a common misunderstanding that Verhoeven's adaptation is fascist propaganda, but this is in fact not th...

You saw Verhoeven's adaptation and got propaganda out of it?

You are welcome to make one. Enough Loroi crewmembers to go around, and we are 1-2 members short on the human crew. =) EDIT: Also, I suppose I'll have to do one on one RP with Sunphoenix to rush the storyline ahead so the groups can meet up sooner. That seems like its the only way right now, which i...

"It's 1971, and Italy is in turmoil..." The old fashioned TV/VCR combo croaked the Documentaries audio, but displayed no picture. "Goddamn lights busted again, Jim." Robert shot a glance at the stiff behind him, then smacked the side of the TV. One of the screens back lights flickered on as the Doc...
