NSFW Best Thread Ever [No SJW-related posts allowed]

Unobtainium is just a high temperature superconductor with quasicrystalline (aperiodic) structure.

Pocahontas in space, caricature-like villains, derpy Na'vi anatomy and USB biosphere (I think Margoulis would disagree on the last one) aside, Avatard Sci-Fi was actually pretty damn hard.

 

If you'll throw together random smart words it becomes hard sci fi and not fantasy

Since even though the movie/game can be full of magic and supernatural it's actually sci fi because it has smart words and space

 

Skyway is retarded.

How surprising.

 

yeah what the fuck skyway avatar is real fucking sf.



ASUKAAAAAAAAAA!

 

Now I'm confused.

 

LOOK OUT THAT ROBOT HAS A KNIFE

 

@ wanting to know more about ME lore
Not surprisingly the guy goes by the handle "Binho"

Who was saying ME was hard sci-fi anyway?

lol @ you saying ME is shit there, keep fighting the good fight

There has been some small controversy, not going to quote this properly but see :

 

Ah, yes. The lore.

Reminds me of something written in this review of a Dragon Age novel:

I find the lore in both Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect to be uninteresting. Thief, on the other hand, is very fascinating even though it's very secretive about the world it takes place in. Or maybe that's precisely one of the reasons why it's fascinating. The first Fallout also had a sense of mystery to it that made it interesting, but nowadays the setting is too transparent.

 

What? There's a difference between invalidating an opinion using logical debate, and invalidating an opinion by ad hominem ("similar to the website" example). The issue isn't the invalidation of opinion, but the process of said action.

God, people don't understand what the definition of "opinion" is. "Opinion" can't be invalidated or validated - the very definition of an opinion is a belief that is so subjective that you can't make an objective judgment on it. Whether or not something "qualifies under the umbrella of gameplay" has nothing to do with opinion because "gameplay" has a very objective definition. What is an opinion, on the other hand, is a vague subjective statement such as "this game is fun" or "this game is not fun" because such statements cannot be cannot be easily objectively qualified.

If you write an "opinion" that can be logically disproved, then prepare to be fucking invalidated. Fucking retards.

 

This thread is reaching unprecedented levels of derp. My brian is reaching critical durr.

Oh my sides. Someone's not building properly.

 

Well, I suppose Skyway isn't all useless.

Well they did take equal portions of Gateway and Ringworld lore and mixed them together. How can you go wrong with this when both base lores are quite good?

Or so I thought until I actually played the game and found out they used both Pohl's and Niven's tropes in the worst possibly ways, stripping them of everything that made them interesting in the original works.

 

Probably posted before, but I'm too drunk to care.

If Quake was done today

 

wtf is this shit? Where is my cover system?

 

Mass effect "lore" is incredibly shallow, but it's probably the closest thing to classic SF many people have been exposed to, compared to the popular science-fantasy stuff like Star Wars, Star Trek and Warhammer 40K.

 

Mass Effect is still space fantasy, even if it "tries" to pretend being science fiction of some kind. The titular mass effect, psionics, magic-like techie abilities, ancient civilizations beyond time and space, humanoid "elf-like" aliens... All the base pillars of space fantasy are still there.

Closest thing to sci-fi to have come out recently for the masses is Human Revolution since most of the tech (even the anti-grav, just not in the way Jensen uses it, I guess) is actually viable not to mention that it follows sci-fi canons rather than space opera/space fantasy ones.

 

I laughed but then got sad. Since it's true.

Also, hat's off to the monocled gentlemen who apparently are off to colonizing wild and savage lands.

 

Five pages of Best Thread ever per day and not even single sgc_meldown post?

 

Maybe deviantart ran out of furry porn.

OH SNAP.

 

Another update : in response to that kraze guy who was previously saying ME is shit:

may be a troll, but continuing the discussion will likely result in further generalized butthurt

Then some guy said something about not tolerating taste and now they're talking shit about chocolate. Not a joke. Fucking peasants.

KFtGF bros, as soon as I think of a particularly codexian thread to post I will join


edt:the quote that started the chocolate faggotry

There was also some gay dwarf buttsex pic posted by a dexer in on the context of... oh fuck it I give up on trying to ignite this situation, you want more you look for the thread
