aural synthesis of sensrionics to enhance situational awareness.
(For a non bullshit answer it was for creating engagement with the audience. The utter silence of 2001 space odyssey kinda bothered a lot of people.)
(Same with the swooping.)
(Though from a certain point of view, swooping happens.)
I’m really not a fan of super weapons in sci fi. They make little sense, if you ask me.
like. really. the Deathstar didn’t really serve much in the way of a useful purpose.
A carrier for self-mobile carriers? that made planets go poof?
Any reasonable rebel would just not be on a planet, which means you’re making your own resources go poof. and by resources, I mean labor force.
This something I never understood about Hoth. strap that ion gun and it’s genset to a freighter, and you’d have a pretty mean gunship that can disable entire convoys or blockades. equip other freighters for wildcat gas extraction and refinery and solve your fuel problems. same for manufacturing, with the advantage of not losing your shit everytime the Empire shows up.
It’s all fun and games until the scatologist shows up.
Then it’s all poop jokes.
You’ve never met a swan, have you?
“Mild annoyance” are the seagulls stealing your food.
(Yes, that swan dunked the seagull so it couldn’t fly away.)
Swans don’t steal food. You give it to them hoping they don’t murder you.
I’d say ‘nope!’ But they kinda look tasty…
Or that turkey was used in this fried rice?
(I may have read your comment in the voice of Gandalf. Specifically at the start of the hobbit, when he’s waxing poetically about bilbo’s varied use of ‘good morning’)
“Yer daddy was a 2 pump chump!”
Edit: Not sure how that comes back to “mom’s a whore”
So…
What is Dast?
(The word that means what we typically use Bastard for is Dastard.)
Bruh.
That’s perfect.
it’s a caustic relationship.
just for the record, we started with Venus, but they kept breaking them, so we switched to Mars.
In high school, I once got to tour the zoo with zookeepers guiding and taking us back in the more private spaces.
(Standing 2 feet away from a 500 pound still-growing tiger is a memorable experience. Especially when the keeper reaches through the grate to pinch the sleeping fella’s toe bean.)
One of the exhibits we got more in depth was this endangered wild horse, where they were part of a breeding program.
The zookeeper was laughing his ass off as a dad was trying to explain what the horse was doing (rocking back and forth…) to his kids.
When the family left, the zookeeper turned to us, and apologized and said “the stallion is masturbating.”
Hey.
Why wasn’t the Slime Mold invited to the party?
It wasn’t a fungi.
I get what you’re saying, but DOOM can run on anything.
Needs vocal cords and lungs for that.
I mean, you don’t need arms if your a vicious killing mouth with legs.
So you know that scene where the kid puts the tail prosthetic on and Toothless tries to shake it off by bouncing crazy?
The way those motions were animated was that Chris took his black kitty, and stuck some tape on the kitty’s tail and recorded the ensuing chaos.
“Release the Epstein Files you Rancid shitsack!”
