Put some himalayan salt on some chips I cooked this evening, was quite nice but didn't really see the point over the regular kind. Is this a metaphor for the console room? Who can say.

Khanstant posted:How incredibly bizarre. Does Eve have a story outside the narratives made between the player fleet dramas? Yeah, that's only one aspect of the game. There are plenty of people who do only NPC based missions and such. They're fairly rudimentary compared to something even slightly more narrative driven (like WoW) but the game has big events every so often of which this is just the latest one.

Last night's random doctor who was a double header as the first was only two parts. These were The Ultimate Foe and THE WAR GAMES (first 4 parts of, at least). I'm not sure what pair of stories could have a bigger distinction between them, especially as this is the first story in Trial that has come up. (I advise watching TUF on its own some time having not seen Trial for ages, it just comes across as a Madlibs episode where new characters keep on being introduced every couple of minutes)The_Doctor posted:To get to this content you just have to do these 47 tasks…zzzzzz Most of the tasks are "learn how to play the game" tbh. Scanning things down and having little pve encounters is one of the major bits of pve content in Eve, so it's pretty well integrated into the normal game systems.

Sydney Bottocks posted:(fun fact: BBC America, despite its name, is *not* actually just an American wing of the BBC, but a separate concern in its own right, that has to pay for the rights to show original BBC content, including DW, just like any other American cable TV network. This came up a a while back, during Tennant's era IIRC, when someone asked a BBCA bigwig during a Q&A why they stopped showing the classic (i.e., Tom Baker) DW episodes along with other older BBC shows, and the answer was "we couldn't afford to show them any more" because they weren't bringing in enough advertiser money to offset the licensing costs. Just in case anyone ever wondered why BBCA transitioned from showing older BBC shows to the crap they air nowadays. I mean it's the classic internal market stuff, you can benefit the corporation as a whole at no extra cost but nooooo Sydney Bottocks posted:The problem with being a government-owned body is when you get a government in that's absolutely hostile to the concept of "government-owned", they start doing whatever they can to tear you down, this is just the latest attempt by pro-capitalist politicians to dismantle any public services in Britain that they can so they can be just like their good buddies here in the States. One thing Corbyn wanted to do was to change the statutory basis of the BBC so it was harder for governments to gently caress around with it, but the Beeb decided to wanted to do things like demand to know if Labour would nationalise sausages

Tonight on the random who watch we finished the back half of THE WAR GAMES and, while it sagged a bit in episodes 7 and 8, remains excellent. The Time Lords essentially not giving a poo poo that there are enemy goons running around with guns because what are they going to do? Hurt a Time Lord? Pfft is so much better than, say, The Invasion of Time. Also helps that the set design is great throughout, the music never stops being anxiety inducing and the direction is very stylish - esp for the era.

Sydney Bottocks posted:I mean, that's your view and that's perfectly fine. Art is completely subjective, after all. My view is that NuWho has largely sucked since it came back, and I finally gave up on the show after I realized that I didn't like it and I wasn't going to force myself to watch it in the hopes that it might appeal to my particular sensibilities the way a lot of the classic series did. I don't often agree with Mad Larry, but I think he was spot on when he said it was just another TV show to him now, because that's absolutely how I feel about it too. I agree with you Rhyno posted:I wonder if Rusty can get Chris to come back for the 60th. I suspect it makes it less likely

There hasn't been an anti-privatisation government in this country since before I was born, and I'm nearly 40. Since 1994 we've only had 4 years of anti-privatisation opposition, too. It's going to happen whoever is in charge next time out.

Last night we watched The Time Monster and I think it might be the story with the highest amount of filler in Doctor Who history. There's maybe one episode's worth of plot, and then the story manages to then also only have about one episode of filler, stretched over 6 episodes. The destruction of Atlantis takes about the same amount of time as the Doctor describing a daisy, it's demented

Rhyno posted:That's probably my favorite Three story. The first episode is good camp fun but the story seems to want to hit exactly the same moments multiple times (eg the master shouting for Kronos to come) without really developing much in between them. One of my co-watchers describing Kronos's actual appearance in the modern day bit as "a pigeon has got into the lab" didn't help the gravitas of the situation either Open Source Idiom posted:While this is probably true, the daisy scene is pretty iconic ngl. It's done much better in The Planet of the Spiders, by the same author(s)
