Bates posted:The only reason people even care about Titanic is that it had a bunch of rich people on board which shows how little things have changed. More than three times as many people died when the Nazis’ film stand‐in ship (which was at that time a floating concentration camp) sank as on the actual RMS Titanic, but in WWII five thousand people were killed every five hours, so it hardly stands out.

Holden was originally the party face, but his player got a job across the country. Now the he’s a DMPC and is used for railroading.

Kerbal Space Program supports 3D mice, so I started using one for craft control. It works, but it’s not what I’d call practical. It makes docking a challenge. Joysticks are faster and more accurate. If you need to control attitude and translation at the same time, use two. But I can’t deny that it looks cool when Alex uses it.

ATP_Power posted:In interviews, people on the show have said that the decision to not have joysticks in the cockpit is because they wanted to use control interfaces that could plausibly be operated at extremely high G-forces. Interesting. That actually makes a lot of sense. If they just used it as a really short travel joystick instead of trying to control six axes at the same time, it probably wouldn’t be so bad. The real device would get pushed around in high‐g and give spurious inputs, but whatever, they can engineer the mechanism differently in the future version.

Open Source Idiom posted:the really, really dumb decision to keep a rapidly growing child actor in a loving cryotube between seasons, and you've got a group of writers who need to be a bit more ruthless with their writing in the future. If they’re smart, they shoot the rest of her book 2 scenes early. Regardless of her fate, all the books have time‐skips between them, so they could work it in that way. https://fat.gfycat.com/DapperGrotesqueAxisdeer.mp4 https://fat.gfycat.com/SardonicBronzeBlowfish.mp4 https://giant.gfycat.com/HandsomeFelineGalago.mp4 https://giant.gfycat.com/DismalScornfulIbex.mp4 https://giant.gfycat.com/SentimentalAdolescentCondor.mp4 https://giant.gfycat.com/OpenAptArmedcrab.mp4 https://giant.gfycat.com/ImpressiveCheeryBrant.mp4 https://fat.gfycat.com/UnlinedSlipperyGoosefish.mp4 https://fat.gfycat.com/VapidShrillBoubou.mp4 I don’t think anyone has complained about my gfy dumps, but I was thinking about using still images with links to the gfys next season. It would be more work, but let me know if that would be appreciated and I’ll try to remember to do it. I think if there are fewer than six or seven 560p24 embeds per page, most devices that can hardware‐decode one 1080p60 stream can handle that, so that’s also an option. Of course, by then everyone will be using technology that’s an average of nine months newer. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Apr 20, 2017 |

Phi230 posted:You're assigning malice to an automaton. It wasn't meant to encounter multi-cellular life, let alone sentient life. It was doing its best to do what it was programmed to do. If it’s an automaton, it also follows that it cannot be a victim, so the Caliban metaphor doesn’t make sense either way around.

I’ve seen The Tempest live in theatre and remember it fine. So what? Either The Expanse’s Caliban is sapient and exploiting it is wrong, but nothing nearly as wrong as what it itself tried to do. Or it’s not sapient and there’s nothing unethical about exploiting it, as long as you don’t harm or endanger other humans when you do it. In neither scenario do I weep for Caliban. Shakespeare’s Caliban was clearly sapient and also not attempting to kill several hundred times as many people as Hitler. It’s a fine title, but I don’t think the similarities run deep.

Longbaugh01 posted:I did, but you said the "Caliban metaphor doesn't work either way", not that those poster's interpretations didn't work and I felt compelled to respond. Why didn't you just make that distinction after I first replied to you since that was obviously what I meant instead of going all I'VE SEEN THE TEMPEST IN PERSON and doubling-down responding about the semantics of victim-hood? I misunderstood your misunderstanding.  I thought “either way around” made it clear which metaphor I was talking about. I was talking about Macdeo Lurjtux’s aborigine metaphor and the inverted version suggested by Number Ten Cocks. I was trying to establish that my issue was not with tthe allusion made by the title/project name; I understood that. As for “I'VE SEEN THE TEMPEST IN PERSON”, what did you want me to say? “I’ve read The Tempest”? That’s not strictly true. “I am familiar with the content of The Tempest”? That sounds more condescending, if anything. To be clear, all I was trying to say is that accusing Number Ten Cocks of assigning malice to an automaton is unfair. If only for the sake of discussion, NTC had to assume it wasn’t an automaton. If it were an automaton, the metaphor collapses and the discussion is moot.

The Slow Zone is smart and understands objects. It knows that people are not part of the ship but interior structural components are. It then uses its smarts in a stupid way because the plot demands it.

Toast Museum posted:It's the difference between "the protomolecule built a drive somehow" and "apparently magic exists." All the human-built structures on Eros and the very rock itself would crumble under the forces involved. Earthquakes devastate large portions of Earth’s surface and that’s child’s play. Either the protomolecule can apply force to individual atoms or it skips Newton’s second law and manipulates velocity directly. It’s magic, and that’s okay.
