[Aeiouia]

I recently tried re-drawing something myself; Aeiouia's other giant crazy robot leader. I think that this looks slightly less crap than the old drawing. But still crap nonetheless:



Obviously, this is not to scale with anything. Aeiouian things are too needlessly and stupidly over-sized to work with anything like that.

[Vistora]

Also, just saw it. Fucking incredible. 9.5/10 easily. Better than anything Lucas made imo.

Including the original trilogy? Damn.

Sounds great. I'm considering selling my old PC and getting a PS4 with the cash. It might be an old fart of a computer, but it was an absolute beast of a rig back in its heyday and at least some of the parts probably still cost a premium.

[The Unhallowed City]

I just had the great pleasure of playing Artemis with a full crew of players. Being communications and science, my job was screaming incoherently about what frequency to set our lasers to and telling the stations to churn out nukes for our arsenal. Also trying not to panic when the captain nearly flew us into a black hole because he misheard my instructions for a proper flight path.

10/10 game

For fuck's sake what is it with people and stealing my ideas.

That just looks like damn near everything I've ever wanted in Multiplayer games.

Sigh. No Single Player. Ah, well. At least GOG has Starfleet Command... ;P

Cut me some slack, would ya?! That magnificently-decorated junkheap can't even run Battlefield 3 without lagging like fuck. Besides, a PS4 is infinitely better than an XBone (and also cheaper than a PC hyper-rig) - you have to give me that, if nothing else.

I'll give you sixteen centimeters of sharpened titanium carbide to the gut. That's something else. When building a PC (I'm assuming that's what you'd do), it's important to remember that you don't have to use every state-of-the-art component available. Even previous generation CPUs, GCs, and RAM will net you very respectable performance, for quite a lot less.

So long as it's a console, "infinitely" anything is incomprehensible to it, unless it's infinitely mediocre.

So, if Language B is taught by way of universalizing education in a huge nation (area and population-wise) where: 1) It is not spoken; 2) Language A is the language spoken by the people; 3) 74% of the population is illiterate; what do you all think would happen to Languages A and B, respectively?

- Is there economic demand for language B?
- Are there also languages C, D, E, F, and G which will allow B as a fallback for different groups to communicate?

I'm guessing that this is not strictly hypothetical. Probably, with the outlined conditions, only the elites will know language B - and only they will really be in a position to benefit from it anyway.

It's great, but the overall blocky-ness of the hull contrasts so much with some of the jagged edges as to make it look too jarring. Otherwise, I like it.

Is an unnecessarily overwanked faraday cage suitable against EMPs?

[Vistora]

Is an unnecessarily overwanked faraday cage suitable against EMPs?

Yes, actually. That's what they're built for. Doesn't even need to be overwanked.

Yes, actually. That's what they're built for. Doesn't even need to be overwanked.

So, our dear Vistora, how at risk is an army of cyborgs with full prosthetic bodies if some terrible person detonates a nuke in the atmosphere to create an EMP? Is it practically feasible to have all the tanks and bodies and such setup to come out of that without damage? Apparently solar storms have an effect on larger objects, but I wasn't clear on the nuke effect in my Googling.

1) Hmm... I don't think there are any economic demand for Language B. In fact, the populace of the nation is quite against speaking Language B if it weren't for the fact that education in said language is being universalized.
2) They speak Language A, mostly. Those who do not, in that nation's case, will be speaking Languages C, D, E, etc, most of which were partly derived from Language A.
3) The scenario is if education taught in Language B is being universalized - a policy aimed not just at the elite, but also the then-ignorant masses of the large nation in question.

My point in overwanking them lies in that. Hell, before I realized faraday cages WERE the thing I looked for, I said that the cyborg's circuits were 'enveloped by a force' segregating it from outside disturbances, little did I know all I needed to say was the two words.

Apparently redstone generates faraday cages now.

Also, just saw it. Fucking incredible. 9.5/10 easily. Better than anything Lucas made imo.

Including the original trilogy? Damn.

Yeah. It's evenly matched with V, pretty much.

I'm assuming that this is not accounting for the various other effects of a nuke?

Playstation infinitely superior to an Xboner? The almost constant frame drops I experience every time I attempt to play Fallout 4 on my friend's PS4 would like to have a word.

Neither are close to PC, though.
