  1. Vidiotmaps already trivialized finding exploration badges, plaques and day job locations a long time ago. I am not suggesting the idea the OP presented is a good suggestion or not, only stating that these badges are already easy to locate.
  2. I have to agree. This series suffered greatly from poor writing and a truly unrelatable protagonist. I see why it sat on the shelf as well. Too bad it did not stay there. I would enjoy seeing this character with a much better script.
  3. I watched Thunderbolts and CA: BNW on the plane while on vacation. Thunderbolts was middling/okay at best in my opinion. If I am being honest, I just did not get invested in the characters at all. Most, if not all of them, are substandard copies of the originals done far better. Yelena's incessant whining grated my nerves to the point I nearly shut it off more than once. I honestly do not know why they even bothered to have Taskmaster make a cameo. Seemed pointless to include her. This was one of those MCU films you needed to "do your homework on" to understand who these characters are, which I do not think helped it. The movie did have some nice action sequences and I do think it better than some other MCU offerings, but overall I did not care for it. John Walker/US Agent and Bucky were the only characters I did like. If these are indeed the new Avengers, it does not bode well for the MCU. I found Godzilla Minus One a much better and far better written film. Much more entertaining to watch.
  4. Nice work so far! 😊 Building walls and doorways to fill that space is not that difficult. The tricky part is finding something to match with the wall texture you are using in the rest of your base. Here is a very quick and dirty example using the following pieces; Large Concrete & Wood pieces found in the Dividers tab Short Wall 8 piece found in the Dividers tab Freedom Phalanx Door found in the Doors tab Wall Corner piece found in the Dividers tab (for the door frame) Miscellaneous other things like the wall sconces and paintings. You can rotate the doors to be open or closed, or slightly move them to the sides as if they are sliding doors. Hope that gives you some ideas!
  5. Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I am personally happy/satisfied with the content being developed and the speed at which that content is being rolled out. I would rather not add more and more work for a group of volunteers to do. I think it better they work on what they want to work on at the pace they are comfortable with to avoid getting burned out. Adding more scope means adding more management and time. Is everything they are doing perfect? No. Are there things I personally would like to see done that are not on the roadmap? Sure. That said, I understand this is a volunteer group doing this in their spare time.
  6. Could be I suppose. Admittedly, I have not seen all of them, just Predator, Predator 2, Predators and Prey. Prey was really well done, second only to the original in my opinion. Amber Midthunder was excellent in it.
  7. It is extra steps, so it would be nice if there were the option for single teleports that already have all the locations attached. Those who still wanted to use the existing objects and beacons could if they wanted to. Those looking to just build something small, functional and quick could make use of the new teleport objects.
  8. Trailer is here. Not sure how this will play out. Seems an odd choice to turn a Predator into the protagonist. I did very much enjoy Prey. Maybe this will be a surprise hit too.
  9. I generally tend to organize into Hero, Villain, Hazard, Co-Op, Other. To be quite honest, it would be much easier and a whole lot better if there were a version of the teleport objects that have every zone already attached to them. We could just place one teleport object and be done with it. No need to fiddle with attaching beacons to them. This would save space, item count and headaches.
  10. I have a support ticket open for this issue. If the HC folk would like more information, they will respond to my ticket.
  11. I frequently run the Operation: World Wide Red story arc to spawn a Kronos Titan or twelve. When I get to the "Defeat Moment and His Men" mission, I run into this error. I mention this mission in particular because this is where I see this bug the most and is most reproducible here. On this map in particular, the enemy NPCs in the last room (circled in red below) will automatically teleport to the hallway (red X below) upon entering the room. These are not Malta Gunslingers teleporting, these are Operation Engineers, Tactical Agents, Sappers and even Moment himself on occasion. I see this happening each time I get this map, so I am not sure if this is a map error or something with this particular mission. I have not seen this same error on radio missions and such where this map comes up. Something to look into.
  12. None of which could have been accomplished by having her do any number of other things besides becoming a common criminal? She is supposed to be a super genius. Surely she can come up with other ways to obtain the funding she believes she needs other than crime? It seems to me the writers were trying to go for the Robin Hood "steal from the rich, give to the poor" type theme, but it falls flat and does not work in my opinion.
  13. Right so, if you use a weapon of any kind to defend your life or those of your family or loved ones, you yourself are morally evil by your own standards.
  14. Well no, you did not mention anything like that in your post. You included a video from Tim Pool and said that he did not like it and you are glad you did not watch this show. No, I do not believe that these items are equally dangerous as that is not the point. The point is just about anything can be turned into a lethal weapon, so at what level does the blame game start and where does it end? Do some research sometime and look at how many deaths there are each year in the US alone to DUI related accidents. Should the automobile manufacturer be held responsible because they built a car that allows someone drunk to drive it? Why draw the line at arms manufacturers only? Simply because they are making weapons and their intended purpose is to be used as a weapon? I do not like the idea of weapons and arms manufacturing either, but unfortunately we do not live in a perfect, harmonious, peaceful world and we never will. I hope we never have to use our weapons, but I am thankful we have them should we need them. Whether we like them or not, businesses like Lockheed Martin are legitimate business. I agree with you here. I did not find this to be as bad as these YouTubers say it is. While I find the story to be poorly written and the character of Riri to be unrelatable, I do think it better than Secret Invasion, which is a very low bar to hit. My main gripe is that despite Riri being this super genius, she makes very poor decisions and is not learning from the mistakes Tony Star had already made. That is one thing Stark always did - learn from his mistakes. Riri seems to be intent on making her own despite have the benefit of learning from Stark. It makes her look like one of those "so smart, they are stupid" types and I would like to have seen better than that.
  15. No one in the history of the world has ever been murdered by a knife? Hammers can be used as weapons too. You missed the point completely.
  16. To add to this, this applies to more than just straight up weapons. There are a surprising number of ordinary, every day items that can be used as lethal weapons too.
  17. This is the thread for posting analysis from the likes of Critical Drinker and other YouTubers.
  18. I understand the story perfectly fine and the moral of it. Again, he was under no obligation to help anyone. He chose not to and that had consequences he had to live with.
  19. No, he was not ethically obligated to do anything.
  20. Terrible characters can be related to and understood when they are well written. Magneto is a prime example. He does many terrible things, but you can absolutely understand his motivations given what has happened to him and his family. Riri Williams is not well written for the exact reason you point out. She is a very bright, very intelligent person who has many options open to her, and options that would not be available to the average person. She wastes her potential and opportunities. Spot on.
  21. I can. Not quite the same thing as being a criminal stealing from others. This belongs in that other thread.
  22. There is no reason it would have to be. It would barely even need to be mentioned. It certainly a better and more relatable profession than turning to crime.
  23. This does happen in real life. Even if Riri Williams would not accept funding in exchange for an Iron Man type suit, she is intelligent enough to create other kinds of technology such as the vibranium detector. Surely there are other things she can be given funding to work on or invent other helpful and profitable technologies. She can use the money she makes from that to do her own thing. That is a far more endearing character than one who turns to a life of crime.
  24. So allow me to be clear, I do not care for YouTubers like Critical Drinker or Nerdrotic either. I find their schtick formulaic. Having watched films that they completely pandered, I personally find them not to be as bad as they claim they are. Having recently watch CA: BNW, I did not find it to be a very good movie and it is very clear it suffered from extensive story edits, but I did not find it to be anywhere near as bad as critics like Critical Drinker made it out to be. They are certainly entitled to their opinion, but I disagree with the degree of it. I certainly will not allow them to be the arbiter of whether or not I will watch a film or TV show.
