  1. Adventure and imagination. It'll probably be more of a throw I hang up. AWW YEAH
  2. This is fine. Take all the time they need to polish it... But this is NISA we are talking about so we'll see (see how damaged I am!?).
  3. You see, I got through the enemy waves just fine. Towards the end they can barely touch me dispite surrounding me. That's the part I found damning. Combat is such a chore.
  4. Combat is not that minor of an aspect of Hellblade if you need to smack people rather frequently. It honestly distracted from the rest of the game. Play through to the end and see how you feel.
  5. Metalcaveman has great taste. He introduced me to one of my favorite bands. Hmm, might seem similar to an image somewhere here...
  6. That is exactly what I did or something close to it. It's pretty doable. If 28/29 years old me can do it, a kid can.
  7. Have they even ever tried*? Hell, even some of the bigger Falcom fansites probably haven't tried... and we're talking about Kondo who, if I recall correctly, ran a Japanese Falcom fansite long before he got hired into Falcom and worked his way to the top. I would think Kondo would give it a shot if genuinely asked. *Or were they preoccupied with Titty Ninjas?
  8. Switch Lite in September 20th. Not for me or probably anyone here but it's a good alternative for say kids or whoever just want a taste. Now where is the Switch Pro?
  9. EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF on PC this week. ?

  10. Mulan with some Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon/Hero moves towards the end. Also, whoever is in charge and is of Chinese descent is Hakka since those buildings are typical of the Hakka people (there's multiple groups of them too!). Since where Mulan hails from differs with each retelling (earliest and most common ones seems to be from Northern China... during times it wasn't under Imperial China's rule), it's okay (What is Chinese has been historically... Complicated)! And yes, it is a folk tale/poem/ballad. I'm kind of interested in the movie now...
  11. The above do not work in fog/coastal California. Anyhow... Kind of what I am aiming for: But more portable and easy to breakdown since I am renting. Of course I could build a frame and get some landscaping plastic to make a custom setup like above. I am limited by saucer size. I got the biggest one I can find so I can expand as I go. These plants are not cheap ($15 or much much more). Speaking of which, excuse me as I double check my bark to make sure they are not treated. Last thing I want is for all of them to die.
  12. Is a forecast the same as prediction?

      Might be the other way around.

       

      I believe the distinction is probability. Prediction tries to nail down the attributes (it will be this warm or it will happen like x, y and z) while forecast puts probability to the attributes. 

       

      But my definition is colored by how it historically been used in seismology. It's why I'm asking regular folks (you all).

      From what I can remember, after trying to remember, a forecast uses data to present a probable outcome, while a prediction is just "this will happen" and may or may not be based off of anything in the past.

       

      That's how I remember at least, though I had not thought about it in a while. :P

      I think what muddy the waters is weather forecasts. Technically they have a probably to them but in everyday life practice, they don't. Hence angry people. At the same time though, expecting normal folks to get and appreciate probabilities (aka statistic) is tough (there wouldn't be gamblers if that was the case).

  13. You can never go wrong with Christopher Bowes (no relations to @deanb?). Between his own silly thing (below), Alestorm and now GloryHammer, Christopher and the folks he plays with just know how to have fun and comes across in their bands.
  14. This is totally my jam. Japanese trailer with more stuff. And this is NOT the first game where they were playable.
  15. That's part of the cost of lies. The RBMK reactions (as operated pre-Chernobyl) are safe as ruled by the powers that be... even if it isn't. The kind of belief/thinking is what led to the disaster. Okay sure, I can cut Dyatlov some slack but he is part of the same shitty power structure and have performed the test in a highly unsafe manner. Dyatlov was repeatedly told of how unsafe the test was by the men he ultimately killed. Yes, I would still hold him accountable even if AZ-5 could work as intended. The AZ-5 button or function could have malfunctioned and then what? Again deny the presence of graphite all over the ground and a hole in the goddamned reactor's roof that is clearly in front of your eyes? The type of person Dyatlov just pisses me off. What also pisses me off is the Soviet power structure that was heavily condemn in the show. I always had a distaste for it but to have it brought before my eyes in such a way was maddening. Bunch of yes men and jack offs. To be sure, Legasov was also part of it in ways and he was a diehard believer up till the disaster. At least he has the courage to admit wrong but it also broke him. It's probably what ultimately led him to suicide. (As an aside, Legasov's... decline reminds me of my own grandfather. True believer in the Chinese Communist Party who was then disillusioned and broken till his final days... which may have included a suicide attempt or two. Or maybe it was a stroke that made him a vegetable. Who knows?) Ah man, the show was a ride for sure. Brought up so many emotions and thoughts (considering that I am a scientist at heart and my political/ideological beliefs). 10/10, would recommend. Game of Thrones Season 8 better not take any awards away from Chernobly. It would be a robbery.
  16. They have two titles in the works. One is indeed Cold Steel related and will probably be like 3rd, either as a standalone or as DLC. This is what was shown off in the screenshots. The next arc is in the works but won't be ready for a good 2-3 years. It's basically impossible that it isn't Calvard related. I want to see my man, Colonel Richards. I won't have anyone to shoot the shits with in here... I probably will get the PS4 version unless it somehow bricks systems or some shit.
  17. Sabaton History Sabaton together with Indy Neidell from the WWI and WWII weekly recap channels (and more!) brings us the historical backing for Sabaton's songs plus some background to how the songs came to be too. Example:
  18. It's basically impossible for Sabaton to not play The Price of a Mile (I argue it's one of their best songs) if they play Great War when they are live. Maybe not back to back but Great War literally name drops The Price of a Mile. Same deal with Passchendaele for both songs. This sort of thing has been happening for a bit already but with the Great War album, it's impossible to avoid calling back to previous songs. One great cover of: Or you could change the lyrics...
  19. FYI, info for the next arc is dropping now so mute it as best you can if you want to avoid spoilers... Though people dying is probably not going to be a thing...
  20. How big is Calvard...? So yeah, I can see why Kiseki is at 60%. Here's to another 15 years!
  21. Great. Another awesome metroidvania to play... which I made it sound like a bad thing!
