How close were you to being a cyberzombie?

I never really saw what people were so hyped about. Procedurally-generated games by their nature tend to be extremely generic and repetitive. Same. I saw the KS and was like "OK...good for you." and then everyone was furiously masturbating over how awesome it was going to be and I just never saw an...

At this point its important to note there is no separation of Church and State in Islam. Islamic law IS the law. It must be made the law everywhere, to all of mankind. Believers and nonbelievers alike. This is a very important point. Islam, IIRC, became a state religion very quickly and Muhammad ac...

In defense of this perspective, it's no so much "We must have results now!" as "We must start taking it seriously and taking action now!". The negative view in the US of Obama's handling of ISIS largely arises from a perception that he's trying to not deal with it. Basically, most of us thing that ...

The other option is to deal with the why. The beliefs of ISIS are not the Muslim mainstream, so there's a reason why people are diverging from the mainstream to move to extremism, understanding and dealing with the why of it can be a very powerful tool in containment. Unfortunately we, as a people, ...

That graph also shows clearly why the Chinese diplomats have difficulty taking the US-view: the US diplomats see China as a newcomer on the platform of political strong nations. The Chinese see the low influence they had after their lost wars versus the British Empire as an exception in their histo...

The French and British did declare war on the Germans, as per their guarantee. The simple reality though is that neither of them was actually prepared for war. The British never kept a large standing army and the French were worn out still from WW1. Calling them sinners for failing to accomplish som...

Ashrain: cast out by her family to triumph or die. Ashrain requested transfer to the front lines. I think it'd be fair to say Ashrain is an outsider because of her family relation and previous posting. She requested transfer from the Imperial Guard (or something), specifically the regiment that gua...

Possibly. More likely Lucas just didn't care because space magic.

It's listed in the Steam store now, not available yet but you can set it to following or put it on your wishlist.

I doubt she thinks he's flirting with her (though he should be ).

According to this scientists have, for the first time, confirmed the existence of gravitational waves. Gravity generators when?

There's a copilot (Spiral) in there. Yay! Spiral my favorite! I have an idea.. What if getting Alex to look at the star charts is all about finding out which star system the Prabu is in? Then Tempo (who in my opinion, quite clearly has an agenda of her own..) redirects them to the meet up? Maybe th...

Yay for Talon!

Alex should know where the tanker is, so he'd be guiding them back to there where the tanker crew would take over the contact mission.

Or it could just be that SW doesn't make any sense. This. It's space fantasy and not made to make sense. In the real world it takes years to design an aircraft the size of a large car. In Star Wars it takes a couple of years to totally redesign a craft the size of a moon AND build it. Even taking i...

Actually, no. If you're an empire or other force maintaining a standing army you want commonality so as to reduce ongoing costs. Rebels take anything they can get their hands on. Thus the rag-tag nature of the Alliance fleet and its snubfighter escorts. Also irl - Toyota trucks AKs, Mosins, M-4s. Y...

In this movie, we had a handful of X-Wings and basic TIEs. No B-Wings, A-Wings, Y-Wings, no Interceptors or Bombers, ALL of which were in the original trilogy. No Star Destroyers or Mon Cal cruisers. We barely even saw space! Because it's largely a rehash of 4. Also because, unknown to the viewer s...

Interesting. I haven't played any of the other Paradox grand strategy games yet, though I've heard they're very good.

Out of curiosity, what conditions were you thinking favored planets? The only advantage that reliably exists for them is the fact that there's already a floor to stand on. The existence of natural resources within relatively easy reach. Also you mentioned building habitats, keep in mind that you ca...

Mining asteroids isn't as simple as most sci-fi would have you believe, just finding and getting to them is gonna be a pain in the ass. You're going to burn a LOT of fuel getting there and back in a reasonable timeframe. Getting natural resources is significantly more difficult in space than on a pl...
