The Flood / faovrite microscopic eukaryote ?.
« on: May 13, 2017, 03:25:43 PM »
I like ciliophora but my friend Ed select a dinoflagellate. So or you think?

The ciliates a group of protozoans characterized by hair organelles such as Sicilian, which are in the same building flagella eukaryotic, but are typically shorter and present, many different pattern undulating flagella. Sicilian happen to all the members of the group (although strange Suctoria only have them as part of life-cycle) and a variety used in swimming, crawling, attachment, food, and excitement. All the patterns of behavior are coordinated signaling processes.

Ciliates there is an important group protists, common almost everywhere there is water - lakes, ponds, seas, rivers, and soil. About 3,500 species have been described, and the potential number of species which is estimated at 30,000. Included in this number are many types of ectosymbiotic and endosymbiotic, and some forced and opportunistic and insects. Ciliate species range in size from as little as 10 μm to as much as 4 mm in length, and include some of the most protozoans morphologically complex.

In most of the Taxonomy, "Ciliophora" is ranked as the phylum, or kingdom of Protista or meat. Other categories, ciliated flesh placed inside the classroom "Ciliata," (a term which can also refer to an unrelated species of fish). In the taxonomic scheme proposed by the International Society of Protistologists, making no official position referred to as "phylum" and "class", "Ciliophora" is a taxon unranked Alveolata.

The Flood / Thrawn (novel) sucks ass
« on: May 13, 2017, 01:00:18 PM »
Halfway through this book, which I'm reading because EU novel fans (which I'm not) froth at the mouth over Timothy Zahn and finally seeing Thrawn brought back into canon. But damn, this book fucking sucks. It's passable as far as licensed sci-fi novels work. It's about as good as the Halo books, which also suck. These books are generally given a lot of leeway because they expand the universe of beloved media, but stop giving this tripe a pass.

The story is almost nonexistent. It's a collection of """highlights""" of Thrawn's rise to power, and I need to emphasize how sarcastic this is because those highlights are just dumb snippets of sci-fi drivel. Each chapter is prefaced with incredibly cringe-worthy blurbs presumably written by Thrawn, ranging from ""tactics"" to personal growth. It's like Chicken Soup for the Military Sci-Fi Writer's Soul. The novel constantly masturbates to Thrawn's genius intellect and tactical ability, but the author has neither of those. There's effectively no character development so far, and the narrator character feels really out of place, and is clearly just a stand-in for the audience.

Anyways, it's pretty bad. Not sure what SW fans are drooling over. If this is reflective of Timothy Zahn's other work, I didn't miss out on much by skipping them.

ACG rated this a 'buy', but I'm curious about what you degenerates think. It looks like almost like a Bioshock sequel, not at all related to the original game.

The Flood / Getting fucked by my landlord
« on: May 08, 2017, 08:32:57 PM »
Planning to move at the end of July or August, and my lease is up in June. I asked to for a month-to-month lease for that period, and they decided to just terminate the lease at that time, so I'm pretty much fucked for those 1-2 months. Going to have to find somewhere with monthly leases that accept pets (read: fucking nowhere).

No questions asked. Just ranting. Don't ever tell your landlord that you're moving ahead of time.

The Flood / Anyone use a >1TB HDD?
« on: May 07, 2017, 07:05:42 PM »
I'm looking to get a large external HDD for use with a laptop or tablet, preferably on the slim side but not strictly mobile, though one powered by the connecting device is preferred. I've heard Seagates are inexpensive but break often, and Western Digital is the route to go. Any recommendations or specific models to avoid?

What's the difference?

 
You'll be happy to know that bees,
as a species, haven't had one day off

 
in 27 million years.

 
So you'll just work us to death?

 
We'll sure try.

 
Wow! That blew my mind!

 
"What's the difference?"

One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.

 
I'm relieved. Now we only have

But, Adam, how could they
never have told us that?

 
Why would you question anything?
We're bees.

 
We're the most perfectly
functioning society on Earth.

 
You ever think maybe things
work a little too well here?

 
Like what? Give me one example.

 
I don't know. But you know

Please clear the gate.
Royal Nectar Force on approach.

 
Wait a second. Oheck it out.

 
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!

I've never seen them this close.

 
They know what it's like

Yeah, but some don't come back.

 
- Hey, Jocks!
- Hi, Jocks!

 
You guys did great!

 
You're monsters!
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!

 
- I wonder where they were.
- I don't know.

 
Their day's not planned.

 
Outside the hive, flying who knows
where, doing who knows what.

 
You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen
Jock. You have to be bred for that.

 
Right.

 
Look. That's more pollen
than you and I will see in a lifetime.

 
It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it.

The Flood / Favorite horror and/or thriller films
« on: May 04, 2017, 05:58:31 PM »

The Flood / I like Alien vs. Predator
« on: April 17, 2017, 05:26:57 PM »
I'm a big Alien fan, and I don't get the hate behind AVP. Sure it fucks up some perceived continuity, but damn it's a fun movie and isn't nearly as problematic as Resurrection.

AVP2 is hot garbage though, but because it's a technically bad film, not because of the concept.

« on: April 12, 2017, 06:06:40 PM »
So three bros were hanging out one day, and one of them said, "I think I've got the smallest hands in the world," and he went to the Guinness Book of World Records and came back smiling, with the record for world's smallest hands.

The second guy says, "I think I've got the smallest feet in the world," and he also goes to the Guinness Book of World Records and earns the record for smallest feet.

The third guy says, "I think I've got the smallest penis in the world," and he heads off to the Guinness Book of World Records to claim his title. After his visit, he comes back to the other two and with disappointment on his face asks, "who the hell is this guy?"

Because who doesn't love stopping gameplay to sort through menus and meaningless resources to unlock equipment that could have been more organically received in a well-paced story structure?

The fact that I'm playing ME:A may or may not have anything to do with this.

A common argument from pirates is that it's not stealing, because that person never intended to buy the game in the first place, therefore no sale was lost. Regardless of how dubious and absurd that premise is, let's take it a step further: when you rent a game, you also get to play the game without actually purchasing it. However, the publisher only receives payment for one copy of the game. I couldn't find any statistics about how often a single disc is rented one average. The exact same claim can be made about purchasing used games, except now the number of people playing the game from one disc is limited to two or three -- maybe highly successful games change hands more than that.

Minecraft is a good example because of the developer's tolerant stance on pirating: in 2014 the game passed 100M users, with roughly 14M copies sold. Today that number stands at 21M. It's one of the highest selling -- and most pirated -- games of all time. Assuming the # of users stayed at 100M (which is generous in the extreme, but it helps for the example), the ratio of purchases to pirated copies is 1:5. The game obviously can't be sold used on PC, but for console versions we'll use the completely fabricated estimate of 1:2, meaning the game store sold the game twice (once new, once used) resulting in two users from one disc. For rental versions, I don't think it's unfair to assume that the game could be rented more than five times. Summary:

Piracy: 1:5
Used: 1:2
Rental: 1: >5

So if piracy is arguably comparable to rentals (and almost certainly results in less copies distributed than both rentals and used sales combined), why is piracy seen as bad, and the others acceptable (and legal)? You do pay for rentals and used games, but publishers see none of that; is there even a difference between those two options and piracy, when all three result in a loss of sales to the publisher? What if piracy involved a nominal fee, such as $0.50 to download the game? Is the true issue that piracy allows everyone to play the game simultaneously, whereas rentals and used sales allow on one user per disc at a time?

Gaming / Dishonored 2 is unplayable
« on: April 06, 2017, 02:03:29 PM »
Rented the game via Gamefly, and it's fucking unplayable due to input lag. The camera pans nearly a full second after I press on the analog stick, and keeps going slightly after I release. And the motion blur and shitty textures are just nauseating. I looked this up and apparently it was supposed to be patched out, but I used the latest patch and messed with all the recommended settings and it's still bad.

Anyone else experience this? I'm sending it back after playing for 5 minutes because of how terrible it was. This is an example:

The Flood / Remind me why X Men 1-3 are considered bad movies
« on: March 16, 2017, 10:05:55 AM »
Haven't seen them in a while but I used to watch them with my family a lot when I was a kid so I remember them favorably due to nostalgia, but these movies are almost universally considered bad films. Why? The cast is really good, with interesting protagonists and Ian McKellen as a villain, so it can't be the characters (maybe with the exception of some cheesy ones, but it's a X-Men film...come on. I remember the action being pretty good and diverse. And who really cares about the plot of a comic book movie? So what's the issue? Is it just the bits of cheesy writing and characterization?

The Flood / Question about Stars War 3
« on: February 21, 2017, 06:55:46 PM »
So they got those flashlight thingies and jedi powers of mind control, and they can move things, so they're telekinetic and they hover on their jet saucers over molten lava, and they can jump and fly like they're in Cirque du Soleil™. But what gives one jedi knight the edge over the other, huh? The ultimate advantage? They stand on a mound of dirt and declare, "you can't win. I've got the high ground." He's four feet up a little slope! And that wipes out the others guys' powers to fly, jump around, move things round with his brain, use his flashlight thingy?

This has been buggin' me.

All the other guy has to do is scurry up the hill and run up a bit, and then HE has the high ground. They can fly jet pods but they can't scurry?

The Flood / question for big fat sweaty computer NERDS
« on: February 19, 2017, 10:54:16 AM »
Okay so almost every time I turn my computer on, I have to reset my router/unplug, re-plug the ethernet cable in in order to connect. I have several other devices plugged into my router that do not have this issue, so I'm certain it's not the router. I thought maybe it had something to do with my VPN and changing IP addresses, but when I disable my VPN the issue is still there. The only help I've seen online is to change my IP to static, which I've never had to do and would prefer not to do.

Any advice?
