people with technological super powers all have the same birthday

have you tried regular victoria's secret? i never go in their pink store but i've found cute stuff in a variety of colors/patterns in the regular store. and plenty in bikini/boyshort/etc styles, it's not all lacy thongs.

idk how high your standards are but i've found good stuff occasionally at target too, but that's more hit or miss in terms of finding stuff that's both cute and in the right size.

.....i have blue hair

where do you live anon

i think in order to marry both what you have in mind + keeping it closer to the premise so some have an idea of what to expect in the game, how about this:

pretend they're bringing in the people they don't want are being pulled in in order to go on a 'special mission' to test out the earth's environment. in return of doing it, they'll get sent back home after the fix the 'problems' with the device. maybe through inter-dimensional magic bullshit, the characters brought in have immunity to the space radiation infecting the earth that could still kill the people who are in space. they claim they're making something that will make them immune to the earth radiation soooooon but whether or not it works or is real is up to you.

that way they're making use of the people and you don't just have 'lol no space for you go to this dangerous earth that can kill you' thing going on because… that's kind of silly tbh?

in order to have definitive cycles at least so players have something to do, have the npcs go 'btw we can't give you much stuff so you have x months to do y before the z comes and you die' and maybe npcs could secretly send stuff to use them as guinea pigs like an anon above said. 'here's some food supply! whoops that stuff is infected and causes an illness none of us have a known cure for. maybe u guys should probably find a cure to it asap.'

oh my god please let this happen/be real

i'm so invested

We're in a wishful thinking thread, so I'm indulging in some wishful thinking.

SPOILERS ABOUND

Please tell me someone else is watching this because I am so into it. We dont even have TV but after reading about it on one of the tech blogs my partner follows and then it came up on a STEM feed again we found out SyFy is also airing it online. And since both articles really hyped it and we respect the sources we decided okay fine lets see what newest nonsense SyFy churned out...

And what the what! We binged everything we had missed in one weekend so we could watch Tuesdays episode. Its seriously solid. Great acting, good story, solid sets mixed with CGI. Bonus points they havent completely been garbage with physics and science principles. I mean its not perfect but it is plenty believable and given we both work in related fields and can suspend our disbelief without issue? For SyFy that's like ten slam dunks. I don't care if I date myself here but so far this series is like the Space Jam of slam dunks even. (Oh hey and space related metaphor there for a double whammy. Awesome.)

The last time they produced anything half as enjoyable for me was when they could still spell their name.

how are you liking the first event, anons?

idgi

explain?

Okay so I will say though, my one biggest hesitation about letting myself love it enough to gush to everyone and their brother before I see how the first season wraps? (Especially since the second season got picked up so there's less need to get viewing numbers up to avoid a premature cancellation.) I am definitely hyped on it so far but! I am leery of the text that accompanies the previews for upcoming episodes online and the trailers, since we dont automatically get them in a commercial. We were assuming its some plot by the Belters or what have you but the whole "a threat to ALL humanity" does make me side eye just a bit. And I do know we saw the Martian gal in episode one see the dude screaming in the freaky blue ball in the Scopulis core reactor so the door to WTF has been cracked open from day one.

I just hope it doesnt jump the shark I guess with whatever that angle of the content is? Since so far everything is hard science, political intrigue, and gritty drama. Like how X-Files always had aliens and all kinds of nonsense but the main characters, and even support like Skinner and the Lone Gunmen, were still normal. They investigated or became abnormal or whatever. But then you got a main character the last season or so who was psychic or saw ghosts or whatever and that felt just so put on and over the top in spite of the X-Files always having had that content?

Thats first show I can think of that felt like it had a concept in the wings all the time but when it became front and center in a bad way it killed enjoyment for me but I am sure there are other, better comparisons. I cant completely articulate my worry here but I guess its just. SyFy this show is so solid and usually a first season takes time to get momentum and this didnt need that time so kudos. But dont take that win and ruin a good thing.

I want another infamous game so bad like right meow

there has been nary a peep from suckerpunch I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon if it does

when looking at a potential game's taken list, what makes you feel more/less interested in apping there? anything in particular that might influence your decision?

Pizza in the morning!
Pizza in the evening!
Pizza at supper time!

Balance is important to me. If it's all animanga I am gone fastest.

i love how you paint geeks as poor victims of the evil jocks, wen in real life geeks aresone if the worst bullies ever

stop watching 80's movies

*are some of the worst

i like small games so if a taken list is divided into multiple pages that tends to be a red flag for me for game size

ratio of big casts to small ones/lcws - are there huge casts (especially canons i don't know or dislike) dominating the game?

average apparent age of characters (i'm pretty canon blind on a lot of big fandoms so it's often guesses from icons if included or from things i think i know about the canons) - will my adult/teenager/special circumstances age character have people in their own age group to talk to or be thought of as annoying by the rest of the game?

having characters from at least a handful of canons i know is nice

JUMP JUMP

SLIDE SLIDE

i legit don't know what circles you're hanging out in, but plenty of people i know still play from ff8 and ff in general (myself included). they're usually not actively playing them or actively advertising that they play them, because they prefer playing newer canons in games, but i know that the most surprising of people will pull out the most minor of characters from the series if it's brought up. mostly in a 'oh i have this old muse' way. a ff8 muse isn't as rare as you think it is, especially considering how squall was in KH, and someone playing from ff isn't as rare as you think - last year, there was a fairly active musebox for ff14 characters for a while and while it's not active anymore, i know a lot of the players and they're continuing to play with them in psls, memes, and even games.

it's also really funny to say that ff8 wasn't pretty popular, because it's one of the best selling FF titles. in 2003 it was the second-most sold game, right under FF7, according to SE: http://www.jp.square-enix.com/ir/e/explanatory/download/0000-000000000000-01.pdf#page=27 i expect that it's sold even more since then, what with being re-released on the psn and pc.

also lmao at saying that the franchise is 'drying up'. at this point ffxiv is super-popular (the last time they revealed active subscriptions, it was about a year or so ago and they had about 2 million active accounts at the time and if anything, the game's population is bigger than ever) and square is doing a really tidy business porting the main games onto pc, tablet, and mobile devices, not to mention running their own mobage game. the franchise isn't drying up but moving in a new direction as what worked 20 years ago (create a mainstream console game every other year or so and cash in) isn't working anymore as time, development, and costs have rapidly increased for console games. they've said that if XV is a flop like 13 and 14 1.0 was, they're probably going to stop making triple-AAA titles for consoles, but they already have experience in developing mobile games and they're already exploring a different way of delivering console games with the episodic releases of the FF7 remake.

final fantasy is far from drying up and square is going to milk every single drop it can get. there's an upcoming FF spinoff game being localized this year for the 3DS, the new Dissidia fighting game, another FF spinoff for the PS4, and god knows how many other secret FF projects they have in the works.

when pizza's on a bagel

YOU CAN HAVE PIZZA ANY TIIIIIIIIME

"she was forced"

"she was smart and savvy"

pick one, either she's the typical "poor victim woman bby" or she ain't
