@PV_1985 @PlayTHELongBall @Todd_Spence gotta say the circumstances as to how he gets to that point is equally as ridiculous

Just found out Cillian Murphy is in a techno pop band and the music video is a bunch of Cillian Murphys in random costumes 🔥

@El_Plato @O_My_TVC15 @WallyintheAlley @swamisound fair, i think all of the games are really good at that

@blueruin___ @O_My_TVC15 @WallyintheAlley @swamisound I played MGS2 as a kid without playing 1, you definitely lose a lot of nuance and references but it still absolutely works as a solo piece

I need everyone to play metal gear solid 2 immediately

@O_My_TVC15 @WallyintheAlley @swamisound the entirety of the game right down to the gameplay, design, and story hinges on the fact that it is a sequel and knows it

@WallyintheAlley @swamisound Knowing the context of the first game and even how the levels were structured is really important to MGS2, so yes, I recommend it.

@intixhq @WallyintheAlley @swamisound moreso than that without spoiling, the references to the first game are a big part of the postmodern themes of the second and it is very aware that it is a sequel

@WallyintheAlley @swamisound i just played them back to back and I would say yes you could understand the story itself but the first game gives pretty important context to the world and characters, and the second game mentions the first game’s story pretty often

@alexjsutton4 @crazi3bunch @Owens_EFC @aniwacked @GralinBD2 @SimiBGood in like three cities lol

@crazi3bunch @Owens_EFC @aniwacked @GralinBD2 @SimiBGood No we do, it’s not a money thing. What we are saying is the scale of the country makes comparing US public transit to EU countries a bit insane. We have very good public transit in densely populated areas

telling everyone my country is a horrendously designed unwalkable shit tip with areas full of actual toxic waste to totally own the euros

@WarioShit he sounds like rfk jr.

I need more people to talk about Allen’s voice in Invincible Vs. this is the funniest shit ever

@korzewarrior @henryjack410 @BasilTheGreat woah dude that's pretty hardcore!

They've just invented a new way to stop environmental activists throwing paint over artwork

@doubledownh0und @aragorn1523410 @Fletchurt @aakashgupta nah bro they had to totally forget all of the rocketry knowledge developed in hte 40s 50s and 60s and start over

@aragorn1523410 @Fletchurt @aakashgupta That’s not how this works but ok lol.

Four humans are about to fall into a 10,000°C wall of plasma at 25,000 mph with a heat shield NASA knows is flawed. Tomorrow evening. Off the coast of San Diego. Orion hits the atmosphere at 36 times the speed of sound. The air can't move out of the way fast enough, so it compresses into a shockwave twice as hot as the surface of the Sun. The plasma ionizes the surrounding air and blocks all radio signals. For several minutes, the crew is falling faster than any humans have ever traveled inside a spacecraft, and nobody on the ground can talk to them. The heat shield is 186 blocks of a material called Avcoat glued to a titanium skeleton. It works by charring, melting, and disintegrating on purpose. The destruction of the outer layer is the cooling mechanism. There is no backup system. No redundancy. The heat shield works or the crew doesn't come home. The Artemis I heat shield came back with over 100 locations where chunks had ripped off. NASA spent two years figuring out why, concluded it was gas pressure building up inside the material during reentry, and decided not to replace the shield. They changed the flight path instead. Steeper angle, less time in the danger zone. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said publicly that this approach "is not the right way to do things long term." The capsule will slow from 25,000 mph to 17 mph in thirteen minutes. Parachutes don't even deploy until the last four. Everything before that is managed by a curved piece of titanium and glue entering air twice as hot as the Sun. Tomorrow at 5:07 PM Pacific, San Diego might hear a sonic boom. That sound is four people betting their lives on NASA's math being right.

@TedWalmart @Physics_on_KSP that's cool I was wondering how they would manage to retrieve it back then without it burning up

@blueruin___ @Physics_on_KSP That was from a previous S1b launch. They had film canisters that would jettison themselves from the trunk and be recovered from the ocean which you can actually see happen just as the film runs out

One thing I will always be upset about is that we did not have modern day cameras and video recording to film old rockets. Imagine how badass the Saturn V would look in some of the high quality angles we are getting of SLS

@ZacharyRogersS1 @death_drivee @Ken67547214 @HFotismeno @Aelthemplaer you guys are being pedantic as fuck

@death_drivee @Ken67547214 @HFotismeno @Aelthemplaer Which is what he the OP was trying to provide. The thing is, the light has to be translated/ transferred into data. You just don't know what you're talking about

This is how fiber optics work basically

@crazyoversoo isn't this "forever rachel"

he was pregnant with Aerith's theme here

@Big_lundi @NonpartisanCat @vrakhiri because it's a game that requires you to make split second decisions?

@NonpartisanCat @vrakhiri Ok but why? The game teaches you that you only jump when the yellow square indicator comes up...so why did you jump when it doesn't come up?

“100% of us” speak for yourself. there’s literally a jump indicator when you’re supposed to jump to avoid an attack. which the game explains to you way before this boss 😭

after you hit 25 every convention just feels like this

@tomiwebstr dude i always loved that first one

I put together some of my favorite shots

@Ash_Psych_OS @arainydancer yet neuromancer featured the internet heavily so idk what op is talking about if he's including books

@arainydancer What's funny is that this movie, and the book 'neuromancer' are considered to be the founding pillars of the cyberpunk genre. While William Gibson was writing the novel, he saw a little bit of Bladerunner and was so worried people would think his book too derivative of the film

@booker19122 @Sebbywebz @EBandicooto it's not that deep

@Sebbywebz @EBandicooto A deep political story is hard to follow for you i guess.

The drop-off in quality after Final Fantasy X needs to be studied #FFXII

i think NYC would really benefit from having a giant mythical bird that lived here. maybe roosting on the empire state building. or maybe one in each borough. something along those lines. pokemon
