Fister Roboto posted:this thread: loving bookreaders, always spoiling things, go post in a different thread because we can't not read spoiler tags Hot tip, if you're responding to someone saying "spoil me about X" you should probably respond with spoiler tags. It's a pretty minor spoiler all things considered, especially since the show has not been shy about giving popular characters more screen time than they get in the books, but it doesn't hurt to be courteous.

i just wish the dumb wiki had a better split between the TV and books, because sometimes i want to look up episode details without also having to worry about later developments.

Yeah, wikis are pretty much off limits for a book series > show that hasn't finished its run. You can look up some seemingly unimportant thing and the first sentence will be "This was the missile that killed Holden and Avasarala while they were making out on the alien battleship that nuked Mars" or something. This was pretty much exactly the way I spoiled Ned Stark's death for myself.

i'm rewatching the episode where holden and co nearly die chasing Eros and i'm wondering why they place important controls on a screen that you have to reach up to manipulate. a bit stupid since that's what killed epstein (although they don't know it)

In the books there are controls on the armrests, too, iirc. logikv9 posted:i just wish the dumb wiki had a better split between the TV and books, because sometimes i want to look up episode details without also having to worry about later developments. Probably safer to ask for a non-spoiler clarification in the thread, but goons are bad so pick your poison, I guess.

Yeah, the books have everyone in gimbaled crash couches all the time they're undergoing maneuvers, with controls you can use at very high Gs. The more egregious example of this specific concession for TV are the capital ships that have the command staff standing in the middle of a big naval ship style bridge during combat. Enjoy your broken ankles from the mag boots and your missing teeth when you slam your face into the tac display when your ship makes a lateral course correction.

the belter's chair that moved backwards and forwards might have helped handle acceleration?

I rewatched the Y Que bits of last episode and funnily enough that has the controls in the armrests. Loose wrist straps too although I have no idea if those would actually be necessary. A belter rock hopper is better designed than fancy inner warships.

Also, the belter expected to need to burn soon, the ship and chair was likely configured in a way that would cushion forward acceleration instead of backwards acceleration (deceleration).

Occasional piss drinking aside streaming yourself racing across the solar system is a fair bit cooler than streaming yourself playing a video game.
