  1. If you ask them, the answer is yes. Even the porn industry was created by aliens. It's the watch it to be entertained, see what can be great visuals of rather obscure parts of the world, want to scream out that a hypothesis is not proof, and ponder on if they just have a massive inferiority complex because humanity has apparently achieved nothing on its own, merely by the aid of something else. I also like watching this show, but @Raithe you hit it right on the head. Massive inferiority complex. The aliens are everything, we are nothing. And the cliche subtext: they are going to save us from our own stupidity. I always wonder, if we couldn't have evolved naturally and someone else had to have created us, then why not the same for the aliens? So who created them? Older and more advanced aliens?
  2. Yeah, I'd never heard that one either and suspect it wrong, but didn't try to research it.
  3. I knew Martin "Six Million Dollar Man" Caidin had written some military history / WWII books, but wasn't familiar with that one (apparently largely based on interviews Sakai did with journalist Saito)
  4. I'd be suspicious of the "information" found here, and for information found on the twitter site it references as there's no real 'fact checking' done. For example slang does not mean "short language", its actual etymology is unknown (some posit a Scandinavian origin, while OED disputes this) and Tag's etymology is from Scottish 'tig' which itself probably comes from Middle English 'tek' for touch or tap. Glancing through the linked twitter page I see some other errors like the etymology of the brand name Adidas (its from the founders name, Adi Dasseler not "All Day I Dream About Sports"). While scalp does have a mnemonic that makes it easy to remember, its etymology is from Middle English Skalp or Scalpe, neither of which match the mnemonic And finally while the bear that Winnie the Pooh is partially named for was female (she was named for the city of Winnepeg), Winnie the Pooh is referred to in the books as "he".
  5. While I do want to see this, I'd like it if this series does so well that someone finally releases the 1978-78 series PROJECT U.F.O. based on the same infestigations too.
  6. HBO isn't a guarantee of quality anymore but Jeremy Irons is? Mind you, I'm saying this as a Jeremy Irons fan.
  7. I dunno, I think writers in the US used to be able to do the same. We just have Twitter now.
  8. kill your darlings? Although if you think they are well written but no longer work in the story, maybe move them to a different file rather than delete forever. IF you find a use for them, then you still have them - just not in a story they're no longer working in?
  9. And that's also how she shortens her name. https://mobile.twitter.com/brielarson/status/1082517236789633024?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
  10. I hate to be 'that guy', but it is Brie, not Bree.
  11. Is it wrong to be excited for Dragon's Dogma on the SWITCH...despite already having it on PS3, PS4 and PC? ...asking for a friend...
  12. Even Thanos isn't crazy enough to cross PETA?
  13. Could your issue be similar to this one - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/106974-cannot-continue-or-load-a-game-from-the-main-menu/ ?
  14. Please refrain from discussing each other rather than the subject of the post.
  15. Audrey Geisel, widow of Theodore aka Dr. Seuss. She helped suggest the ideas behind the Lorax and the Better Butter Battle Book iirc. Actor Donald Moffat. Well known for his stage work, film goers may remember him as the president in CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER or as tge base commander in THE THING remake from John Carpenter.
  16. @luzarius
  17. I didn't say you did or didn't do anything wrong. If a post is reported it'll be reviewed impartially by a group of mods. My noodly appendages do not reach into this forum or WoT, and as such I do not see Reports from these two forums. But that's one discussion I would have like to have seen how the consensus allowed that one to slide. Oh well. The starting post and the thread was edited, but not all posts were caught initially.
  18. haha, fair enough. I know some people who thought BBR was awesome. Haven't seen it or Mandy myself yet.
  19. You'll probably want to skip Panos Cosmatos' Beyond the Black Rainbow too then. I'm pretty sure its more experimental than Mandy.
  20. What do you mean? This is the way my posting style has always been, since I joined. Anyone can report posts they feel that don't meet the forums guidelines. Every report is reviewed by multiple moderators under the supervision of @Fionavar. When a consensus is reached, any necessary action will be taken. Some reported posts violate the guidelines, others don't. Any action taken by the moderators may, or may not, be visible to the other users depending on what is determined to be the appropriate course of action. Users also have the ability without moderator intervention to listen to the feedback of their fellow forum goers and choose whether the feedback might give a cause to self-moderate interaction (or not, per the individual). In a, for lack of a better word, collegial environment as this we can all take criticisms to better our relationships and communication with our fellow forumites. I believe two lines from the guidelines may be appropriate to reference in this thread: We ask that the users of this board treat one another with respect, even when opinions differ Posting frequent, annoying, and/or nonsensical posts are not tolerated in these forums.
  21. You can always report posts that you feel violate the guidelines. Alternatively you could PM @Fionavar, @Gorth, @Pidesco and @Rosbjerg who are the listed moderators of this forum regarding concerns in this particular forum.
  22. I have none I'm on mobile ps phone, never get on here through pc. If you click the link gfted1 gave, you can still access the contact form through Obsidian's web page where that link points on mobile (click the link, press the menu icon, press contact, fill out the form, press "send").
