These generative processes are really good at generating human forms, but I'm always amazed at how bad the symmetry and details are, in comparison to the rest of the work. They look great at first glance (I'm actually really impressed with the muscles in the legs) but then you start to notice things...

Apologies if I'm being a bit confrontational here - that is not my intention, I just had or saw a discussion of this very issue a few dozen too many times. I'm still glad that we get to talk some nuts and bolts around here. I think there are definitely some places you and I agree, even if it's not ...

Yup. Very scary... Srsly: That´s en:wp gone weird. The DLV was only a governing body for glider pilots , an administrative step towards centralization. Later Luftwaffe (after reincarnation 1935) had not much to do with that. The wp:de version reads pretty much the same; a front organization for the...

This thread is going places. :?: Um, my school english is a bit rusty - can you please "translate" to me? We're getting off topic/political/controversial. @Arioch: Please either lock or spin-off I think. I don't think the russians are really significantly better off as far as being 'outdated' goes....

...And it was more dormant stuff in both Loroi and Humans that was designed by the Soia to trigger if the two should meet. My own headcanon for Arioch's story contains a dormant telepath element. It doesn't make sense that Humans should be so abnormally telepathically inert in the absence of some f...

"An aircraft designed as a high altitude interceptor will often have poor low-altitude performance" Why does it have to fly low altitude to hit ground targets? All sorts of aircraft are designed to shoot at ground targets or sea targets from high up. You could, but it's all about trade-offs due to ...

You cannot "turn" a high altitude interceptor into a ground attack aircraft. That would be a totally different machine then. Why not? It just requires mounting a different kind of missile. D-503 has good points. Keep in mind that just because a certain platform can execute a mission, doesn't mean i...

There is (at least) one point: We´re "invisible" to the Loroi. We don't know that. That´s what Tempo said on p66. I mean, that's what she would say if she wanted to deceive Alex. I'm not saying she is lying, I'm saying we don't know. Don't forget, both the Barsam and the Historians say the Loroi ca...

I mean, has it really? Alex isn't convinced. We know that information can flow at least one way, maybe it can flow both ways and the Loroi aren't showing their hand. Doesn't mean you take a chance. Agree. He should be extremely careful. There is (at least) one point: We´re "invisible" to the Loroi....

It's been established that the Loroi can't pry secrets from Jardin's mind. So far, he has to tell them things for them to stick. I mean, has it really? Alex isn't convinced. We know that information can flow at least one way, maybe it can flow both ways and the Loroi aren't showing their hand. Wher...

Ackchyually per the NSTM, a hatch is an access opening fitted to the deck/overhead while a door is an access opening fitted to a bulkhead. And because I totally didn't double check, I also didn't learn that you can read older NSTMs online. Hatch is defined on page 600-2, or page 22 of the file whic...

... you had better show sincere respect for your passengers or you may find yourself scrubbing out a CHT tank somewhere near Adak, Alaska. It's a shore installation so you know it's not going to be VCHT, might not be so bad. You hear they're thinking about reopening NAS Adak? Pacific Pivot / near-p...

Terrans are neither the template for another species... Does not follow from: Humans are very obviously a local evolutionary development of Earth's ecology, both in reality and in the Outsider canon. Anatomically modern humans existed at the same time as the Soia, so it remains conceivable for the ...

I will say that this is a different and creative approach to the "human-looking" aliens trope in fiction. They were molded to look like us, that's all (and probably behave like us, since possession of a body type isn't very useful without the behavior patterns that go with it). Perhaps it was some ...

I guess I'm just a grumpy old man yelling at clouds. I don't like it when well established character designs get waifu-washed. The old design clearly reflected her character as an integrated trans human, and still remained somewhat mystical. She really had the feel of being not so much Fleet Command...

Karan S'jet seems to be getting younger despite however many decades are passing... and apparently she's been working since the end of Homeworld 2 as a fashion model. Good clinical immortality tech. The galactic civilizations seems to have high enough technology level. Back at Kharak the plugging i...

They're not humans who've been genetically tailored into becoming Soia-Liron organisms; they're Soia-Liron organisms that have been genetically tailored into looking just like humans. Is there Word of God on that somewhere? Not saying it isn't so, I just took the opposite implication. I mean, if yo...

After multiple attempts, I still haven't been able to get past the 3rd mission in Homeworld 2. Was Deserts of Kharak better? Guess since it's $5 on gog right now, I might as well pick it up. Never managed to beat HW2 either, but it was more of a story issue for me. HW2 uses adaptive difficulty scal...

So, my question is: "Would the coital fluids of one species be irritating, toxic, or even fatal to the other?" No comment on the fluid itself, but the act of exchanging said fluid is likely to be fatal to the Loroi partner, regardless of gender. Cause of death: uncontrollable necrotizing infections...

I've never had a massage either, and I doubt massages are a thing in the military. The United States military and department of veterans affairs use massages in a clinical context, for physical therapy. The goals are to improve soft tissue mobility, reduce scar formation, and reduce chronic pain. A...
