That ginger quoted NASA saying it's "significantly more" than ten years' mission life now. Still a ways from its parking orbit and shit can still go sideways but there's more than enough delta-v onboard for 10+ years.

If it works. Which looks promising so far, granted. The launch went so well that it saved onboard fuel that was anticipated to be used for course corrections, adding "significant mission life" to the telescope:

About the only big missing piece I see them going into is how Boba found Fennec dead on Tattooine and how she got her robot abs before we meet her again in Mando. I don't see them turning Boba into yet another mechanical genius, so I kinda suspect a run-in with some old clones. Especially...

I'm only up to eps 3 on Bad Batch, but I get what you mean. If you don't plan on catching it then you won't mind the spoilers, just a quick search will pull up a few vids of Fennec in Bad Batch. Seems like she worked for the Kaminoans and had been involved with the Clones since around order...

The reason I asked was because the Kenobi series is due this year and that teaser had a lot of concept art from Tattooine. I don't see what the fuck they were gonna do with Hayden as Anakin aside from flashbacks and I don't know anything interesting they could do with flashbacks unless they...

Isn't Fennic's backstory in the Bad Batch? I haven't watched it so I'm not sure but I kinda remember she was animated in it.

Hmm... like when they say stuff is "lit" and "fire" and how something "slaps"? That kinda thing?

An ancient Roman Stoic once said, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by infinite weeaboo faggotry".

Because Asia.

The whining would've just gone the other way if all this table-setting backstory isn't there. "Waaah why don't they show how he escaped the sarlacc and became a tusken muad'dib?!?" and "Waaah how did he get the crime lords to bend to his will?!?".

TBH Sett's gay in any skin.

Wait a couple more years and they'll remove sexes from WoW altogether.

Wasn't there a Tusken Jedi or was that Legended?

It's manifestly true that SJWs have destroyed Blizzard from within and are clearly using culture to normalize their postmodernist views on gender and race. But I don't know if there's a pill red enough to get me to believe that they're doing it through color-policing.

It's a fun angle on the old argument when they made Diablo3 less brown/gray grimdark and more "colorful" with cooler hues replacing darker tones. Back when it was made folks just thought it was Blizz hitching itself to modern UX sensibilities about readability and flat design. But I guess now...

So is Boba gonna be Leto or Paul Atreides in this dune/sw remix? Tuskans are obv gonna be fremen who honk.

Well that LoL screenshot was specifically for the "Debonair" skins set they're doing right now. That whole tux-and-roses thing is definitely riffing on a Chinese boyband thing, which makes it gay. Full stop. It's a nod to a scene in China right now called "shamate" that came out of the...

Isn't that like how the President of France met his wife?

I mean if you wanna get it off your chest, this is the Blizz Cancer thread and it wouldn't be off the reservation for that. I was just referring to that guy who was turned off by Overwatch's stylized art style.

Oh the woke conditioning stuff is independent of the stylized art style. I'm sure the woke shit is all over the place but the western Disney design language is just part of western character design for generations (which very heavily influenced its Japanese counterpart). They may have made the...

Like first EX ever for first in EW?

True enough. Even Breaking Bad took a few seasons to find its legs on Netflix. But when it did, it lifted the whole show even on its parent network.

Well, I suppose if that western animation tradition turns him off from OW's look, that would be a hard stop then. Barring a new wave of anime-stylized shooters, I don't see it going away. Disney's design fingerprints are in every stylized western animation nowadays; and as long as...

The only guy whose veto could've saved this show is dead. I can't imagine anyone with the stature and/or spine to step up and say no to Bezos' creatures who reshaped this story into something that would better appeal to the people they follow on social media. IE: people like them. IE...

The secondary mirror deployment was livestreamed a couple hours ago. Had some interesting commentary and great documentary coverage on the production and testing in it so NASA can pat their backs even harder when it doesn't fail:

Old Henry's gimmick kinda carried it, though. Same thing here?

Sooo... I take it you're not talking about the art direction, design language and the western animation "look" that everything from WoW to Kung Fu Panda uses.

Only pedophiles put licorice in their pizza.

OW is just the bog-standard "western animation" aesthetic. It's fair to relate it to Pixar's look but Pixar just riffed seven decades' worth of Disney animation for it, not to mention that Lasseter, Brad Bird and just about everyone else who founded Pixar got their starts at Disney animation.

It's been two months and it's still 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with 97% user scores. Unreal. Even Arcane's biggest simps like me figured some troll critic would've published some meh review by now.

Update/DLC turned my wheezewort cooling setups into fucking Chernobyl so that was fun.

Early on, when you haven't learned to anticipate things like ambient temperature and sustainable food sources it seems insurmountable. But once you've played through each of the fail states it's actually pretty easy. If not too easy. Best advice I've gotten was to keep your population as...

It's absolutely gonna end with a wet fart.

If you enjoy sci-fi space opera then yeah, the books are good. It's not really hard sci-fi, though. More like "grounded" space opera.

Probably not even then. The first season took 6 years, although they took a 2-3 year break from finishing the first act and starting the last 6 eps. Still about 3-4 years to produce the first season. They've since opened two more offices and added more staff, but even then 2023 would be very...

He's cool and all, but I really hope S2 is far enough along that it's too late to cram him in as a cameo. From that podcast with the Fortiche Head of Animation, it sounds like there wasn't much of a pause for production after the end of S1 and the beginning of S2. Maybe he could be Garen or...

Funny thing is the show's got fuck all to do with the actual LoL game other than having some of the characters in it. Nothing about the actual league, nothing about the summoner's rift, nothing about nexuses or minions or towers. That's probably for the best too. There's no way to contort...

You could just try watching it; at least till the end of the third episode. If the appeal doesn't make sense at that point then yeah, it's likely not gonna work for you. The only people I know who really "hated" it were tryhard DOTA gopniks pretending there was anything more to their butthurt...

What didn't you understand about Arcane?

Oh so it's an actual beaver sim?
