    [Movies] Avengers: Endgame Spoilers Thread

    And that's all I'm asserting. I appreciate you finding a clip, though I agree with Pez that Ego is an unreliable narrator as well. Either way, he's still at least partially not-human, which is enough to say he's not just a "regular" either. This isn't a Terra at the end of FFVI situation...

    I'll have to re-watch that to be sure. Yes not the whole living planet thing, but nothing? He's still half not-human. I also thought there was the possibility that the "spark" from Ego was under Quill's control now if he wanted to, but again, only saw the movie once when it came out, so not...

    Point of order: Gamora: Alien, could be super-strong, fast, etc Rocket: Explicitly enhanced (also visible cybernetics now and then) Groot: Alien, super-strong, etc Drax: Alien, super-strong, etc Quill: Half-Celestial, definitely has powers Mantis: Mind-control powers - Probably the least durable...

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    So it's basically going to be the same with Shadowbringers, how The Ghimlyt Dark requires 360, but the Genesis tomes give 390, so at release of Shadowbringers they're going to release some type of "white tier" gil gear that's 385? And btw, I found The Ghimlyt Dark way easier than The Burn...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I think it was CGP Grey who said "People don't want a self-driving car as good (terrible) as them, they want a self-driving car as good as a horse." The horse will get you home, and not hit things, etc. (Look up "Humans need not apply" on youtube for a great video on this topic btw) Imperfect...

    Except for the 50BC part, that's the plot of the Crichton novel Timeline. In Timeline they went to the middle ages. But it's "really" another reality. But it also "impacted" theirs

    I remember hearing about that! And how people started forming lines and stuff on their own in self-regulation: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/ffxiv-stormblood-having-a-rough-first-day-for-players-forming-lines-to-do-quests.1393123/ and Kotaku...

    Kind-of joking, and kind-of not, I still wonder if that'd be less accidents than we have now?

    FTFY Same with the 60 class gear. Just replace it with 255 gear from a merchant. Anybody who's played between expansions before have insight as to when they'll do that for 70 gear and move all the current stuff to poetics?

    NYT demands subscription. As for my opinion, the whole thing about time heist went out the window when they brought Thanos into the future. It kind of breaks things. They could have just prevented the snap entirely, kill Thanos in the crib, or any number of alternative solutions at that...

    The Internet will never satisfy its lust for Net Neutrality and Bandwidth

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome IMO they shouldn't approve ANY new satellites (from any country) until this is addressed. That won't happen, but it's what SHOULD happen. I like SpaceX in general, however 4425 satellites shouldn't go up until there's a plan to deal with this.

    Scholar is good. I main summoner, so I grabbed some gear and went at it with scholar for quick queues. Or if you're in Heavensward, you could try Astralogian out, as it starts at 30. AST plays very differently than scholar or WHM though. Ask @Dirona about how WHM plays, as she mains that.

    When we have the Canadian Government actively trying to change what laws we have so that they are all subject to Cabinet approval (C-69 - will require ANY infrastructure project to be approved of by the minister of environment - even if they are obeying ALL laws, doesn't matter, you have to kiss...

    A Metric tonne is a kilogram times one-thousand. A kilogram is a unit of mass, not force. The metric unit of force is a Newton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit) Come at me bro. (And he knows where I live, he's been to my place multiple times, so this isn't an empty taunt...

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    Another factor with this conversation is that IIRC most (all?) of the gasoline in the USA is sold by volume strictly as opposed to volume corrected. The Consumer's Council of Canada has a decent page explaining this: https://www.consumerscouncil.com/index.cfm?id=13906#temperature So up here we...

    Given the expansions of the Welfare state and/or entitlements, social policy changes, etc, in the last number of decades, I think you have that graph backwards. *puts on flameproof suit*

    Equality of opportunity (or something resembling egalitarianism and/or equality before the law/government) or Equality of Result? Two very different things.

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    That's likely what'll happen for an alt job then, but blew the money on it for my main. About the price you said, should be good. My gear level went from 340 to 355 just from that one piece. Probably one more genesis piece, and 1-2 others and I should be over 360. Given the holidays, I'll...

    I can afford that for my main, and the scholar half too. I hope it's a similar price on my server. By the time I get another character up to 70, it's likely that Shadowbringers will be out, and I'll be able to either buy whatever vendor gear they have to get people "to the new content" or...

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    I was literally in a Deltascape queue for 40 minutes as DPS before giving up. The whole point is to avoid that need. The alliance raid suggestions may work. You can't grind out Mendacity for a Ryumaku weapon. As I said above, you NEED stuff from Alphascape to get the "special" tomestone to...
