...forbidden donut... I can only imagine the level of preservatives packed into a contraband pastry to make the haul out to the colonies. Then again, people are still smoking. The 2170s were a hell of a decade.

How long after we're declared stale can we expect a restock? Seventeen days. Seventeen *days*? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here...

Well, that explains it then. The A2s always were a bit twitchy. That could never happen now with our temperature regulators. It is impossible for me to burn or by omission of action, allow to be burned, a batch of cookies.

License managers are the dumbest motherfuckers in the licensor's company without fail. Something been meticulously researched and well within canon? 'I'm not too sure about this...' Something completely hosed up that people will lose their poo poo over when it gets published? 'Looks great, go to press!' I have a feeling like most of them get the license approval job because they have hosed up enough other jobs that they get bounced there and people figure they can't gently caress things up too badly.

Young Freud posted:It had made me initially wonder the feasibility of even weaponizing the xenomorphs, especially in an corporate ecosystem that can develop and distribute weaponry rapidly. Like WY develops the xenomorph into a reliable bioweapon, there's nothing stopping a competitor to developing and fielding a synths or a cyborg or a mech suit that counters them, especially something that ends up cheaper (since pretty much all attempts to get to the "reliable" part fail). Does WY even have a competitor? They seem pretty dominant in the media I can think of, but xenomorphs are kind of their pet obsession, so the stories tend to have a limited focus. Guess it is possible that General Farms is the big dog wherever the other side of the galactic ring is, they are just too far out to hear about.

I thought I read somewhere that the (in universe) assumption that the way they worked is that they were essentially living batteries (since, y'know, they hadn't had much chance to get a hold of one to see how it ticks...). They were chock-full of battery acid and just needed light/heat/some kind of energy to get the cycle started, and if they didn't have it they would run out and hibernate until they charged back up again. They didn't really need to eat, as much as get resources to make their outer carapace and then they were essentially good. Another thing that comes to mind is a foggy memory of an Alien script draft where Brett finds some poo poo like cables with the insulation stripped off that the Alien ate because it needed whatever to grow. Given how long I have had that head canon, I am guessing that I likely got it from some old-rear end Dark Horse Aliens comic since there was gently caress all other media out other than the movies. Tinkin' 'bout dem ding-dong Aleens (an' how dey work...)

Sunswipe posted:Jesus, did they do that in Solo? I thought it was bad enough when the marketing was all "Learn how Han Solo got his name!" A question I don't think anyone had ever thought to ask, and if they did would probably have answered with "I guess Mr and Mrs Solo liked the name 'Han.'" That is my go-to complaint about that movie. EVERYgoddamnTHING we know about the backstory is explained in like three days or whatever (other than him enlisting and getting the surname Solo). After a whirlwind like that no wonder dude was so burnt-out and jaded. The OG trilogy definitely have an Uncle Rico 'watch me throw this football over that mountain' vibe to him now.

I would also KILL to see the Lord Miller cut/version, like thinking about what could have been if they had let Neill Blomkamp loose on Alienses.

Yeah, Bishop was full of dairy, but at that point the android tech had been established and was a decent enough shorthand for gore for them to get away with. Now that I think about it, Aliens doesn't really have as much gore as you might expect for a flick like that.

LOL, X-Men already had The Brood when they did their crazy Claremont Shi'ar space adventures. Featuring such highlights (going off of my comics-addled memory...) as Wolverine's healing factor rejecting the Brood totally not a facehugger and Psylocke (before she was a ninja) mentally fighting the Brood Queen via her implant (that one I am a bit more vague on, but sounds 'right' in terms of how that character was treated). Can't wait to find the wiki entry on that storyline to see how close/way the gently caress off I was on that. Y'know, since I can't be bothered to get the comics out of the garage and go down that rabbit hole...

That 'smartgun' is just baffling. A lot of work for... what? That SmallRig harness is made for phones and DSLR bodies, so the shotgun probably cost more than it did. The shotgun does have a pretty impressive rate of fire, but why wouldn't you just get a replica MG42 and have something that makes more sense to have an armature assist. Just all around

Parkingtigers posted:I mean, some people like it, and I've had these same discussions at much greater length over on BGG with people who swear they love it. But it's just so odd as it's by Gale Force 9 and they have put out a ton of good games, and it seemed to have a long development cycle. After Sean Sweigart died and Aaron Dill left, there was a pretty significant drop in the quality of their games.

BattleMaster posted:The one good thing about the cancellation is that Derek's death was one of the best deaths I've seen in a TV show and it probably wouldn't have happened if the show was renewed. If I remember, that last season was a miracle that it even happened in the first place, so thankful for all that, but when that scene happened that was pretty definite in that they weren't coming back. Which sucks because they set up a bunch of poo poo that would have been good threads for at least another season or two. Every now and again when someone talks about a character getting written out or a show ending I'll think about that scene in particular and just darkly laugh to myself.
