What if Amazon sold TTS voice packages that can read any novel in your catalogue? "Hello yes I would like the James Earl Jones voice package and every Star Wars book ever written please." But the existing audiobook storefront still had only audiobooks read by real people in it, protecting their jobs.

Nihilism is the brain child of philosophy

But so is existentialism, absurdism, cynicism, and whatever Nietzsche was on about, which all refute nihilism.

Barry has standing in that destruction of natural habitats in the area surrounding his hive has impacted his colony's ability to thrive. His colony is a victim of colonialism. If he can prove that his colony is descended from an earlier colony which cultivated plant life in the New York area that was deforested by humans, then he may be able to argue that his colony is owed a certain amount of land. Charging rent from the human businesses on that land so he can buy honey, Barry would be able to supply his colony with enough honey to get us to the end of the movie's plot.

It's a little more complicated than what we actually saw, but the logic is sound.

Well I'm ace, I hate 99% of those songs, and I hate birdsong.

8 didn't do any retcons. A retcon would be "actually Snoke isn't the main villain, he's just a clone created by Palpatine." 8 was perfectly happy to play nice with all the facts established in 7, and then have Ben kill Snoke as the first dramatic climax of the movie. 8 gets to have two dramatic climaxes because Rian Johnson is a brilliant filmmaker.

Well it didn't "undo" anything in 8, it just undercut and betrayed its core themes. That doesn't erase 8, it just spits in 8's face.

It's impossible for 8 to have undercut 7's core themes, because 7 doesn't have any.

Snoke wasn't set up to serve as villain for three films. He was set up to serve for two films, same as the emperor. You're just salty that your fantheory didn't come true.

So, you also maintain that 6 undid 5 by killing off the Emperor, right?

You can use the rock as a crude handaxe to crush and cut things, such as reed fibers to tie the wooden sticks of your hut together. You can make do with plenty of subpar sticks, but a subpar rock is going to multiply the work it takes to get a roof over your head.

If Halo Infinite had come out in a games production culture like what existed in 2005, then we would today be getting hyped up about the next chapter in the Master Chief's story. Instead, Halo Infinite is a 6 year project with a bad name that somewhere deserved another year or two in the oven before release.

I'm not a fan of the massive amounts of crunch that appeared in Halo 2 and I'm not a fan of its story being truncated and the mess that made of Halo 3. But damn, at least we had something! Throw another year or two into the development of Halo 2, let the workers go home to their families once in a while, and you'd have had something amazing. Halo Infinite got another two years of development and came out passable.

I want the other two chapters of the Reclaimer saga we were promised. I want three games fighting the Didact, and an exploration of the ethical themes of the UEG following in the footsteps of the fascist-ass forerunners and what that means about humanity. And it should not have taken until 2021 to get that.

What's wrong with Kuva liches?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

A lot of weapons and some warframes, plus most archwings, you can only get the blueprints from clan research. My clan has done most of the research but not all. We also have a drydock for your railjack, a crimson branch for trading kuva liches, and a bash lab for your k-drive. Don't worry, you're not supposed to know what railjacks and kuva liches are yet, and you won't be able to get one of either for quite a while. But once you get an archwing, I'd be happy to take you on my railjack.
