Gotta have Beastie

Wow, you’ve gotten worse.

Disgraceful?

Not critical thinking, but confirmation bias, yes.

Upblessing BatMax

Quake movement raises the ceiling for sure, I saw a graph once showing the optimal angles for bunnyhopping and it seems crazy precise.

Accessibility is always a concern, which is why I’m glad Black Mesa introduced an auto-crouchjump option for those that want or need it, but generally I think it is a good thing when the range of things a player can do is expanded.

Yeah I think I’ve heard of mechanics where you can crouch to “charge” a jump, but not like, jumping while in the crouch interpolated state.

What games use crouch jumping like that? I thought that had to be wrong, but apparently in CS:GO you can just barely clear higher objects if you crouch and then immediately jump.

It might sound awkward, but IMO it is very intuitive, if you imagine crouching as bending the legs instead of going down.

Khajiit have no word for “law”

“It says here that your class cannot wield that weapon type”

“It’s not supposed to be interpreted literally!”

Sure, but at that point we could rename it anything.

It’s only Eurocentric in the Western tradition, and even then the names of many stars come from Arabic.

I mean, yeah, many celestial bodies take their names from Latin. Like how the proper name of the sun is Sol, which matches solar, the lunar object would be called Luna. Selene feels like a retronym to match other Greek deities, and would be like renaming Earth to Gaia

either of those options is a fair pick given their oldness

Luna would definitely rank over Selene in the Western astronomical tradition. As you say, its name is just The Moon, which is what Luna means in many current day Latin derived languages

I thought it was Luna?

A Dyson Wall… and Proxima Centauri will pay for it!

I’m the bottom every day because I’m getting fucked by life

Jesus dude, how desperate are you for interaction?

Midichlorians is just the tip of the iceberg. Yeah, it ruins the Force/the Jedi, turning them from a religion to basically just X-Men, but that’s peanuts compared to changing Jedi from being an esoteric order of warrior monks (remember, Han Solo says he’s been all over the galaxy and *never* heard of the Force) to actually being the galaxy’s space cops just 20 years ago. That means Han was alive when the Jedi were still venerated. Little slave Ani on Tatooine knew more about the Jedi than Luke did when he was on the cusp of joining the Rebellion; the prequels straight up do not fit in the same universe as the original trilogy without crazy mental gymnastics. Darth Vader was literally mocked to his face for being a religious fruitcake in episode 4, that’s how much presence the Force originally had.

If you like 'em, you do you, but prequels ruined more Star Wars lore than anything in the sequels

Prequel worldbuilding good? Lol
