Ha my sister had to learn FORTRAN for her research science work. Lot of long-term, old survey tools use it still. Apparently it was… not a pleasant experience to learn the language haha.

This. It’s deceptive af. My old job we had our holiday party at a KBBQ spot and all 12 of us went through like 30 bottles. I remember looking up and thinking, wtf where did all these bottles come from?!.. oh wait I’m blasted. God I miss that little company, such a fun job.
What ya mean! Haha naw I feel ya. It’s a pretty cool concept, but yeah the pacing is a bit slow and repetitive haha. I also like that Pike is one foot out the door at the start. I think the really cool special FX is what saved the pilot episode though. The invisible cage being melted by the phaser and of course the SS Enterprise. My dad said those blew his mind when he saw it back then.
Spock having emotions was a bit trippy though, really glad Gene changed him to “Vulcan” in TOS.
He literally ran on the same progressive talking points as Sanders/AOC. I don’t care if “this was always him” either way I’d be pissed if I voted for him.
This honestly wouldn’t surprise me, Delta is quite skilled at this and we almost never hear about their ops. US wants hostages to end the war faster but not admit being there, so easy to just let IDF take credit, despite them shooting hostages instead of rescuing them.
Yeah saw the event today. Was really powerful. The Watch reading tradition by a young Navy LT hit hard as well as our two Presidents standing together. Than god France was saved, what a beautiful country.
Looking at the thumbnail and wondered why women would take birth control backwards in the week… I’m slow. Lmao maybe I’m a good case study for why we need this stuff.
Same with Sudan, who provides arms to Ukraine. So they sent special forces, DURING their own war, to aide the Sudanese govt against Wagner led rebels to retake one of their largest cities. Been fucking up unprepared Russian mercs there with drones and kicking in doors left and right. Way to honor their allies really.
LMAO that guy really just use Halo to compare gameplay??? Also he clearly didn’t know about the Break system. “Don’t like turn based or random encounters” my brother in Christ did you not read the box? It’s specifically made for a group of nostalgic gamers who loved Chrono Trigger/FFIII grinds.
The real icing was setting up with modern games’ graphics and completely missing the bg/environment art of OT games are hand painted in the Unreal 5 engine haha.
Both are on steam as well. Definitely recommend if you love old school, turn based SNES JRPGs but with a dash of modernization in specs/combat. The artwork of the environments are genuinely beautiful. Some of the characters stories are really boring, some are crazy good haha.
Square’s little studio turning out these HD2D games really have knocked it out of the park. Triangle Strategy is like FFT on steroids, hardest mode is really REALLY hard, although a bit grindy (arena training). Bravely Default II is a PS1 sprite version of HD2D ala FFVII with a really rich stats/specing. The CEO of Square hinted a Chrono Trigger HD2D remake is in the works too.
You shoot HDE files on the Alexa35? My post team recently got back a mag that Premiere (even Beta) absolutely refused to read even after trying it run it through Arri’s HDE decoder software. Couldn’t get it to load on Avid either, but could just be lacking some weird extension. Had to make ProRes transcodes through Resolve which was painful af to toss all that quality out.
This is actually a legitimate product. This one doesn’t taste bad at all, but I did have one that tasted like 100 percent pickle juice - and I bought a 6 pack.
Oof that projection though. Not everyone has that problem, immediately going there (and the rest of your below tirade) suggests you do. Nothing more insufferable than a zealot just waiting to be mad.
What’s SNW and even DSC then? I’m confused how main characters like Ortegas and Stamets are “set-pieces”? I do really hope they bring back Captain Angel though, what a great baddie (you love) haha.
Descent: Freespace series remains my favorite games of all time. Infinite space, dogfighting where you can match the enemy 's speed and target subsystems to disable them… and online multiplayer. Honestly wayyyy ahead of its time.
But IF he loses the election, he’s gonna be sent to the nether realm. No one will protect him, he’ll spend the rest of his life in courts or behind bars.
Damn all that ugly ass driveway space and that one trailertrash asshole ruining his lawn by parking his cars on it… Wonder if it’s the same insane loop guy
I lived in Paris and no one had it besides commercial buildings. But with climate change causing higher temperatures across the region, I think AC modifications of some sort will become the norm. My friend in Spain recently got AC after one summer he had to stay with his friend in Denmark because his house became unlivable. Like it would’ve killed his cat it was so hot inside.
Ahhh yeah good point. So somewhere like Pakistan probably has low humidity I’m guessing. Otherwise I feel like being outside at all could be extremely dangerous.

You’re right, in the video game the Russian Navy would actually be a threat. All 3 of those nations are NATO members now. My biggest concern is if there’s enough concrete to repave St Petersburg…
Honestly this is true. I experienced it when I was a kid wandering out on a beach in Jamaica in the middle of the night. Staring at the Milky Way and I felt this.
