2023.03.21 20:46 yamar35 I've been firmly converted to the church of short king FDE guns
 | Finished two weeks early for an OP down in PA (for once I'm not trying to fix my primary the night before!), I've got a new gun ready to roll after essentially 2 years out of the game: submitted by yamar35 to airsoft [link] [comments] Short enough with the stock in to lean myself through a door way, but perfect LOP when extended. The fact that it stands unsupported on an EPM1 with my custom designed and 3D printed ranger plates makes me a wee bit too happy. Performance:
In my opinion, don't buy a Mancraft receiver unless you have access to a machine shop and lots of patience, they look great and use excellent materials, but are out of spec in too many places to be worth it (selector position doesn't actually match any GBs I've tried, receiver width internally is odd, OB hole is undersized, and AEG spec *only* barrel nuts for some reason). I made it work, but stick with a different company for receivers. Upper assembled, the spring is 104lbs/in rate, so nothing is moving *anywhere* once it's compressed by the buffer tube. The Internals... external! Just a slightly better view of how it all fits together. 3 piece construction, left to right: washer for the spring to press against, Spacer with an inverted U in it to slide over the mag release, and then the alignment block. The lower gearbox sits behind and above the parts locking them firmly in place, making it even more stable than stock. Way easier to remove/install too as removing the spacer nukes the spring tension. Couldn't be bothered to remove the blue marking fluid from the brass connector rod. 1/4\" rod turned down to about 6.1mm with a 2.5mm center through hole drilled and tapped to m3, a 45° countersink on each end, and then milled to a D profile to mesh with the selectors and printed selector disk. Rock solid and such a satisfying click at each position. Fine adjust wheel, equiv to 1-3 on the stock. 3mm OD x 4mm long brass rod milled to fit, then JB welded in place to remove any extra play. |

 | Worked back the patrol added here comes to 470pts, 30 short. Hope his new rules are worth 30pts! I'm a big fan of his current datasheet being cheap Crisis Commander with no CP cost melee. submitted by Killa_Hertz to Tau40K [link] [comments] |

2023.03.21 14:17 noahgs New Necron player help
So after reigniting my 40k interest thanks to the mtg decks, I found someone selling necrons to scratch my itch. I was hoping I could get help constructing a list out of it at 2 different point levels, as well as suggestions for anything vital I need to acquire. Would like a 1k list to teach friends how to play, so ideally more simple and balanced. Then a standard powerful 2k list. Im welling to buy things I dont have. Here is what I got for 400- some of the warriors are unbuilt so I can pick different options.

Meiosis ( the premise of amphimixis )
MEIOSIS: the premise OF copy Sexual reproduction;
Sexual reproduction wants a genetic contribution from two altogether totally different sex cells. Egg and sperm cells ar specialised sex cells remarked as gametes (Gr. gamete, wife; gametes, husband). In animals, a male cell (sperm) unites with a female cell (egg) throughout fertilization to form one cell remarked as a zygote (Gr. zygotos, yoked together).Meiosis ( the premise of amphimixis )
Syngamy;
The fusion of gametes is known as syngamy (Gr. gamos, marriage). The zygote is that the initial cell of the new animal. each of the two gametes contributes 1/2 the genetic knowledge to the zygote. to stay up a relentless vary of chromosomes among following generation,Corporeal cells;
Animals that reproduce sexually ought to manufacture gametes with the body vary of their customary body cells (called corporeal cells). All of the cells among the bodies of most animals, apart from egg , sperm , 2n of chromosomes.2023.03.20 22:24 DirectFrontier 2000p Shooting list critique
I have come up with this shooting list for my Mephrit crons.
The general game plan is to do as much damage as possible in the first turn with 2 Doom Scythes. If I go second, I can hide them with the Deceiver's Illusion ability to prevent them from getting alpha strike'd. The Deceiver itself is a source of mortal wounds and a tough to kill "distraction" type unit.
I rush the Scarab screen and 2 Ghost Arks carrying 10 blobs of Reaper warriors to the frontlines, meanwhile the 20 blob of Flayers stays in the back with Chronomancer support.
Meanwhile, The Lohkust Squad goes with the Technomancer, who can teleport them as well with the VoD to do some heavy shooting. Cryptothralls are used for cheap capping and actions.
Probably not very competitive but I might try it in tabletop simulator :)

2023.03.19 19:05 Quinzelette 1 character roster math
Disclaimers and such:
Disclaimer: this post (like all of our posts before) assumes you started at 1490 on Brel release and hit 1560 by the time Brel HM comes out. As a reminder the equivalent keeping up push from 1490 is actually 1540 and not 1560 so hitting 1550/1560 is considered catching up and not keeping up. That being said since we are looking at a new player's ability to catch up it is worth seeing how feasible it is for them to hit 1560 in the 4 month window. I'm considering this window 120 days for all extensive purposes despite Dec 8th to April 12th being 125 days because that's an ugly number to work with.I have no idea where you're pulling 13.5 weeks fromJust want to also disclaimer this 13.5 weeks was just the amount of weeks based on your "I spent 40k gold on my alt in 1 week" that a single player would need to gain the honing gold using legions alone. This number stopped being relevant once we stopped talking about "My 1540 doesn't make 40k gold a week!" and started talking about mats.
Math and Such
Here is what I went and tested out for myselfI think you got pretty lucky on obli stones in your cdngs but otherwise this is definitely about "average" compared to the charts I use and my personal experience.
So assuming you have a full set of Brel gear that starts at 1500 (+11), this is the mats it would take you to get to 1560 (+17) with average luckI've already stated that this premise is just wrong. Referring to one of many Brel gear conversion charts (and also the fact that I did it again this week with Artist) your 1490 gear starts at +12/ilvl1510 upon conversion. So to clarify each piece starts at (+12) and you need to get it to 1560 (+17)
Mats Needed (your og number in quotes):
- 36.3mil silver (42m)
- 231k gold (252k)
- 2.14m shards (2.37m)
- 2.6k fusion (2.8k)
- 46k reds (50k)
- 139k blues (1512k)
- 4.8k leaps (5.3k)
Tally up all of the above, and a roster of one pulls the following in one month: 8.8M silver, 7336 obliterations, 21240 protections, 502K honor shards, and 1280 leapstones in one month.Let's go over sources you missed in your tallying.
(i.e. guild shop, challenge abyssal, ghost ship, chaos gates, world boss, etc.)------ Guild Shop ------
Guild shop gives you up to 112k+72k silver a week buying both types of boxes. Otherwise it exchanges 1/3rd of that for 15leaps or like 100k cube silver. It's all RNG but this should definitely be over 350k silver a month unless you're mega lucky.
Guild shop gives 8MHL and 6 HShard (S) packs assuming you're not in an alt guild you can normally buy all of these + boxes.
So adding to your total (I'll leave the shards from guild shop alone bc they're pricey)
- Silver Monthly: was 8.8mil -> now 9.1mil
- Leaps: was 1280 -> now 1296
Rewards Listed Here. These rewards are per 1 dng you can tell because he says you get 5 card packs.
- 6k honor shards
- 200 red stones
- 500 blue stones
- 4 leapstones
- HShards: was 505k -> now 541k
- Reds: was 7336 -> 8136
- Blues: was 21240 -> 23240
- Leaps: was 1296 -> 1312
I didn't see a list for this one online. It gives (from memory) a decent number of stones. I want to say like 300 reds and 700ish blues a week? Just know that it could drop down the amount of time it takes to farm the stones significantly. You already added in the Leaps so I won't
------Chaos Gate------
Mostly good gold, each run makes like 2k minimum between chest sale and a 4x blue map. You'd probably sell the mats for gold
------World Boss------
won't count this but it gives shards which your calculations say a single player character is sorely lacking in.
------Legion Raids------
Rewards Listed Here. Normally for someone actually trying to push for 1560 you'd take the chests from Brel, but you're also scared about gold gen so I'll split the numbers between Brel chests and no Brel chests. I'm going to assume you pushed to 1500 week 1 here for Brel because there are too many variables. I'm just counting 1-4 Brel
Brel 1-4: 420 reds, 840 blues, 20 leaps, 5.6k shards
Over 4 months (~17 weeks) this is 7,140 reds, 14280 blues, 340 leaps, 95.2k shards
------Cube------
I'm not going to calculate cube but you get a shit ton of silver here so just know that your silver gen over 4 months is off by multiple millions.
It would take you roughly 5 months to get the silver, 4 months to get the leapstones and honor shards, 7 months to get the obliterations and protections.Okay so now I'll use my numbers for you:
- 36.3mil silver / 9.1mil (lowballing) a month = 4 months
- 4800 leaps / 1312 = 3.6 months. with Brel 4460/1312 = 3.4months
- 2.14mil shards / 541k shards = 4months (I don't think Brel makes a dent here)
- 46k reds / 8136 (lowballing) = 5.6months. With Brel 39k/8136 = 4.7 months.
- 139k blues / 23240 = 5.9 months. With Brel 125k/23240 = 5.3 months
Important Conclusions
Shards are obtainable. Silver is obtainable with lowballing which means there should be "extra" to do stuff like cut stones and roll bracelets. Both of which weren't counted in weekly unas either but the amount you get is small so I guess that's fair (CDng una + 2nd BR una or the Cube Una).Leapstones is definitely obtainable especially since we don't factor in guild shop giving extra BR tickets and this number is already under 4 months.
Reds and Blues while we didn't get them under 4 months notice that each source we add to the stone gen shaves off like half a month. We didn't add in World boss or Ghost ship or Challenge guardians. All of which I believe give similar to Brel. It would definitely be close over a 4 month period but also the gold cost to buy what you need leftover is going to be pretty small.
---
On top of all these random ass made up average math numbers I know there is gearing and other RNG stuff to do. That being said we can't include lucky drops from legions or cubes or challenge abyss. We can't include how much a build costs due to the variance between builds. We also can't assume that a guy at 1490 day 1 of Brel is wearing rags. There will be a point where a new player has to stop to build their characters and might have to sell all their unbound mats for a couple of weeks. There might be a week or two where they don't play. We didn't account for rested.
What I will say is being able to "hypothetically" make almost the average mats for the +12-17 push is a very good thing because it means that you close gaps over time. An entire 50% of those mats are for 1540-1560. If some guy with 1 character and barely 1490 makes it to 1560 in the time between release that's great (and from what I've heard from others is also entirely possible). If someone makes it to at least 1540 they "succeeded" in pushing to Brel HM IMO. You talked about taking breaks. A guy could run fully rested and miss a few weeks and still hit 1540 with 1 character. Honestly based on our math I'd assume that 1550 would be the most "reasonable" expectation though.
2023.03.19 18:43 Chiwaywewere Advice for a Mac for photo storage and organizing
Hi, I want to move my photo library to a Mac because I now have years of iPhone photos that have not been archived. I’m prefering a Mac to a Windows or Linux machine because of native HEIC/HEIF support. I would like to keep the budget affordable, so I am open to used or refurbed Mac to keep the cost down.
In addition I’ll be archiving family photos and slides and movies that I have inherited. There are tens of thousands of photos and slides, and hundreds, maybe thousands of hours of movies.
I have a very large USB 3.0 external hard drive for this, so I am not too concerned about internal storage.
I don’t do much photo or video editing anymore so that isn’t a concern. If I need to any sophisticated work I have a 2nd gen IPad Pro with Affinity and LumaFusion.
But I’d like a Mac that is capable enough to manage a large photo libraries without a lot of lag. Desktop, mini, or laptop doesn’t matter, just want to keep the price low. TIA for any advice!
Adding - I have 2-3TB of pics and videos currently scattered among several Windows machines. I have several TB more of pics and videos to scan to add to that. Total storage needs approx 6-10 TB. As mentioned above, I have a large USB 3.0 external hard drive for storing all that.

2023.03.19 01:04 Storms_Wrath The Human Artificial Hivemind Part 337: Psychic Investment Payoff
First Previous Wiki
Penny wiped the sweat off her face with a towel and drank more water. Her heart was beating fast from the exertion of running on the treadmill. She sighed, pulling herself off of it and feeling the soreness in her muscles. She looked over at the woman that was nearly twenty years younger than her that was standing off to the side, slumping a bit. "Five dollars please."
"What the hell. You're like 70 years old. How are you doing this?"
"Well, I'm the strongest 71 year old you're ever going to see," Penny said, grinning happily. She pulled off her hair tie to let it go free. Her hair fell to her shoulders, which rippled with lean muscle.
"Well, Sara? What do you think?"
Sara laughed. "How much can you lift?"
"200 kilograms, or about 80 in each arm. Of course, that's the max I'll go, not necessarily the max that is possible."
"And the hivemind isn't empowering you?"
"Nope. It's all me, and a little bit of Nilnacrawla."
"Oh, I forgot you had a little guy in there," Sara said.
A sliver of psychic energy left Penny's arms, materializing into Nilnacrawla's head next to her. "I'm not a little guy," he said.
Sara lifted her hands and took a step back, clearly cowed by Nilnacrawla's sudden appearance. Penny could feel his amusement through the mind bridge. "Yeah, I get it. No harm, no foul. Don't eat me."
"He doesn't eat people. At least, not that I know of."
"Don't check your closet," he said.
"Yeah. So anyway, I'm glad that you came out with me today, Sara. I needed to get out of the house, you know? My body doesn't move like it used to." Penny flexed her arms.
Sara rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up. You still can't beat the Olympic weightlifters."
"Well, am I supposed to? That's for people in their twenties and thirties. Comparing myself to them is useless and a waste of my time."
"But you still want to beat them," Sara said.
"Well, yeah. But it's not a real goal. With psychic energy control, I can already punch a hole through a wall, except if it's made out of metal, in which case I merely put a dent in it."
"You're a monster."
"Eh, maybe. But being strong is fun. I don't have to ask for help with the pickle jar."
"You'd think that after all these centuries, that they'd make them easier to open."
"No such luck. Just be glad everything isn't drab grey and white, with blue lines everywhere and no railings. Trust me, early to mid 2000s sci-fi is a trip through it."
"I'm sure," Sara said. "We're doing a binge watch tonight with the girls, wanna come with?"
"What show?"
"Stranded."
"Which season?"
"1 through 6."
"What the hell?"
"Well, only 1 tonight," Sara said. They headed to the showers. Penny got nice and clean, getting rid of the feeling of sweat as her clothing was quickly washed and dried in a small attachment to the whole thing. Showers had gotten a lot fancier in the long years of her life, and there was an extreme happiness that one experienced after feeling the hot air dry one's hair and skin.
She picked up her clothes, put them on, and then walked out to see Sara waiting for her near the door, shoes and socks in hand. "Looks like you aren't faster at everything, slowpoke."
"Try me. We can run a marathon right now."
"Even you can't do that."
"Here on Luna? Yep, I can. Now, on Earth, I'd agree."
"Earth is what counts," Sara argued.
"Then why are we on Luna?" Penny grinned. "Perhaps it's because Luna counts too. Plus, I like these silent parts of the gym too. Wild how some can be booming with concerts and music, while others are quiet as you are after looking at Nilnacrawla in the darkness."
"It was one time, okay?"
Nilancrawla appeared next to her again, laughing. "It most definitely wasn't one time."
"Okay, maybe three. But the second barely counted, you were literally waiting in the basement! Who wouldn't be scared by that? Plus, you were making small noises on purpose. Bastard."
"I know the names of both my parents, in fact."
"That's not what- yeah, sure," Sara said. "Yeah, not sure that you're doing that on accident."
"I'm not. It's fun to mess with you humans," Nilancrawla said.
"Yeah, until we lay you out on the floor with our games."
"They're designed by humans, for humans. What am I supposed to do, beat you?"
"Get good, and yes. For a species that supposedly conquered the universe, you can't seem to even do that?"
"Please. You guys haven't even touched the meaning of dominion. You've had genetic engineering for centuries, and yet Humanity's females still have their... blood discharges? I forgot the name."
"Can't believe you think that periods are any sort of equivalency. If you got one, it would lay you out on the floor more thoroughly than anything stressful you've ever done." Sara pointed at Nilnacrawla's head. "And another thing. Other species have their equivalents. Acuarfar shed their carapaces in rapid molting sessions, as do Vinarii, but slower. The Breyyanik and Knowers shed their fur, and bald patches are seen as humorous and embarrassing when they appear, to the point that they will wear bandages over them to hide them."
"That's true."
Sara continued. "And don't forget that Humanity's at the center of the most powerful Alliance in the galaxy. We've got the-"
"Well, technically the most powerful Alliance in the galaxy is the Sprilnav Alliance of United Allied Unions."
"What?"
Nilnacrawla sighed. "It's a federation of large Sprilnav nations, from what Spentha says."
"Well, it doesn't count," Sara said.
"So excluding the most powerful nation in the galaxy, then yes, the Alliance is the most powerful."
"You think you're funny, don't you."
Penny recognized the look that Nilnacrawla had in his eyes.
"Nope. I know I am."
"Haha. We stand in awe of your wit and brilliance, oh great Sprilnav Elder. Shall we all fall to our knees in worship of your unrivaled comedic genius and splendor?"
Penny sighed. "Can you two quit it for now? You can go and banter with each other when you get home. And Nilnacrawla, stop making disparaging comments on Humanity."
"Aw, you can take it."
"But she can't."
"I can, and I can give it back," Sara retorted. "Please let me bring up the genocides, and then we can really get going."
"Well, I'm not going to deny them," Nilnacrawla said. "Except that it doesn't matter in your words with me, since I was in the mindscape the whole time."
"Well, you're talking to me, and not my species. So you shouldn't speak ill of Humanity either."
"Fine then. You look better with less makeup on, and darker clothing."
"That's speaking ill of me?" Sara asked.
"Well, it's because you're not doing those things."
"You know not all women care about their appearance, right? Penny might be putting on the 71 year old muscle show for suitors, but I'm not."
"Please," Penny scoffed. "Not looking for anyone right now. It would be too weird, with Nilnacrawla in my head."
"Right. Maybe you just can't get a man."
"I can't. Everyone around me is boys and little girls."
"I'm not a child, Penny."
"Nope. But still, I'm not a fan of age gaps, and with my strength, anyone my age I touch is going to turn to dust. 70 may be the new 40, but weak isn't the new strong."
"Sounds like you need an android. There's some companies that do that-"
"Well, that just makes me uncomfortable," Penny said. "I don't need that either. And I've heard that the VIs for those suck."
"They do, but not in the way you mean."
"Sara, please shut up," Penny said. Nilnacrawla started laughing again.
"I'm so glad you have friends now, Penny! This is fun!"
"Did you really just say that? I'm going to put you in the corner if you don't behave yourself." Penny opened the door to her car, and Sara got in. Nilnacrawla formed into a full body and sat in the back, lying on the seats in an unnatural pose that was clearly fake. Penny set the autopilot so she didn't have to bother with driving. On some days, she wanted to do it herself, but on others, she didn't. Luna traffic was separated into self-driving sections that zipped by at hair-raising speeds and into slower free-guided sections that allowed for normal driving and had much lower speed limits. The two were known colloquially by the terms the 'fast lane' and the 'zoom lane.'
Penny arrived at Sara's house, seeing a number of cars already parked nearby.
"Hey everyone!" Sara announced after the door opened for them. "Penny's here with Nilnacrawla! Initiate Plan Red!"
She was handed a headband. Nilnacrawla's was more of a neckband. Sara put one on and began to announce the situation. "Right. Today's Independence Day. We're gonna get grilling. Whoever cooks the best steak gets 80 dollars, and first pick of the snacks."

"It is wonderful to meet you, Phoebe," Juan Pedros said, holding his hand out for her to shake. He barely contained his excitement. After all, his childhood dream had been to make a difference in the world. And once he'd become involved in politics, he'd pushed himself to form as many connections as possible, spreading his influence and casting his net wherever he could.
But the being standing in front of him wasn't human. Of course, that didn't much matter. The Alliance was full of many alien species, including all the native flora and fauna on its colony planets. Whether it was the strange phenomenon of crabs existing in most of the oceans, or the peculiarities of planetary weather studies, there was so much diversity out there.
He wasn't the Council Director yet, though he did have roughly 57% of the vote last he checked. And since the other candidates were at 30% and lower, it would only change once he got elected. Plus, he had the current Council Director's direct support.
Though when he looked at her, he couldn't help but be reminded of the time he'd overheard his son say he had a crush on her. But such was life, and teenagers hadn't changed over the many long years of Humanity's history.
"So, why did you request this meeting, Councilor Pedros? As far as I know, you haven't won the election yet."
"You're the most advanced analytical mind in the galaxy," Juan said. "Could you honestly tell me there's any chance of me losing?"
"Well, besides your death, there's also the possibility of Council Director Davis turning his back on retirement. Or of a sudden scandal coming out and making you lose popularity to Councilor Hruthi."
"You know that I'm clean."
"I don't, actually. Contrary to your belief, and perhaps popular belief as well, I'm not some eye in the sky over every single device the Alliance has ever made. The reason is that paying attention to the collective information an entire civilization outputs would stretch my mind until it breaks. Sure, I can run simulations. But I'm not all-powerful when it comes to sorting and extrapolating data, trends, calculating chances, and more." Phoebe's lips turned down a little at the statement. Juan lowered his head slightly.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine."
"It isn't. What I said showed a lack of trust in your previous statements that you haven't been breaching private devices. I must overcome my prejudice, to become a better person."
"That's nice and all, but I doubt it'll change many hearts and minds. Plus, I don't really care that much," Phoebe sighed. "I'm used to it by now, mostly."
"Well, if you say it's fine, then I won't push," Juan said. "Now to business. You meet with the Councilors and defense contractors across the Alliance, helping to organize the forces and push toward standardization, as well as making improvements when asked. Few know it, but you are the glue behind the Alliance's military, even if Humanity is the glue of its social structures."
"I bet Izkrala would contest that stance," Phoebe smirked. Juan laughed. "She would. But considering what she has over her people, there's a... difference of perspective, shall we say."
"Quite a large one. Her eyes see differently, in both literal and metaphorical terms."
"Yes. Now. I have received emails from many science fiction writers, particularly pertaining to megastructures. Obviously, the Dyson swarm and the partially complete Orbital Ring are two. But some propositions are very interesting. The largest shipyard that we have is five kilometers long. That is within the size of an Alcubierre bubble."
Phoebe nodded. "Go on."
"What I suggest is that we turn our shipyards into ships themselves, capable of moving from system to system and taking their supply lines with them. And that we build an even larger foundry of some kind, that makes these shipyards. Perhaps on Mercury or in its orbit. Or perhaps in orbit of Ceres, considering the baby boom they had about two decades ago. They do have the free worker capacity for it."
"Hmm. With Gaia, it may just be possible now. They've been building psychic amplifiers nearly this whole time. Every 23 weeks, 10 times the amount of psychic power is made available by the amplifiers. Hang on."
Phoebe stared straight ahead, and then a Gaia avatar appeared next to her shortly thereafter. Gaia looked at Juan and smiled. "Ah, the candidate."
"Yes. How many psychic amplifiers do you have?"
"It's been about 10 years since I started building them."
"10 years, 3 months, and 25 Earth days, to be approximate," Phoebe said. "The rough estimate would be that Gaia is a septillion times more powerful."
"That isn't how it happens. There's a dropoff in power burn as I use more. Only because of your improvements to the new psychic amplifiers I build both on Vesta and outside the Sol system have I been able to keep up the exponential growth. But beyond that, there is the problem where most of the new ones are being built out and exposed to space. In fact, Vesta is full. I've been fortifying my consciousness using most of the energy, since it is too large to siphon from the Sol system."
"Why?" Juan asked.
"Because if I siphoned all the power in Vesta, not only would the fusion reactor fuel cost become extreme, but more importantly, every Dreedeen in the system would die from psychic overload. And every living thing within a thousand miles of the asteroid would also die. Plus, it would draw attention from the Sprilnav."
"So you have a lot more power, but haven't been using it?"
"I have been using it. So has the hivemind, and Brey. We kept it secret, even from you."
"Why?" Phoebe asked, a hurt look on her face.
"Because then your tactics would change. We needed to fight the war as if we were on our last legs. And I didn't access the full power of the amplifiers because if the enemy destroyed them while they were active, there was a possibility that it would cause another psychic pulse. But with all that taken into account, I'm about a quintillion times more powerful, not septillion."
"That's still gigantic. Gaia, could you use that psychic energy to turn solar plasma directly into strong alloys using your telekinesis?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes. But too much power will call down the Sprilnav, without question. Even with all this, it is not a guarantee that they can be fought this way."
"I'm aware," Phoebe said. "And I do understand why you didn't tell me, though it hurts."
Juan nodded. "Do any Alliance leaders know of this?"
"Izkrala, Fyuuleen, the Council Director, several human heads of government on Earth, and Frelney'Brey."
"Not Blistanna or Dilandekar? No wanderers?" he asked, growing concerned.
"Their governments are new, and would be under severe risk of alien espionage," Gaia said. "This was a true secret and still is. But I still can't simply blow up a planet. All the psychic energy takes a lot more to transfer between systems. So in the mindscape, I'm powerful, as is Brey. The hivemind is currently fixing itself of remaining injuries. But even with all this, I am uncertain of our chances."
"Our chances against the Hive Union or the Vinarii Empire are about 2% or less, even with this information. And that's with the weapons we know about. Their most expensive psychic suppressors are incredibly powerful. Even more so than Galshaskir's. Here is what I suggest. One. Juan Carlos and I will not tell a single soul about this development. We will continue to hide it for as long as possible. Furthermore, Gaia, the Councilor here has several projects for us to help bring to fruition."
"What are they?"
Juan sighed. "I'm just going to transfer the rest."
He tapped his tablet, scrolling down to find the file. Eventually, he managed to share it with Phoebe, who smiled. "I see. Shipyards, towing the Mercury-class guns, new dreadnaught designs, better mining equipment, farming equipment, building methods, specialized communication modules, and a very complicated way of making a simplistic drone swarm hub for me specifically. some of these need work, but they're doable. Of course, with the nanotechnology, I'm surprised that these are actually somewhat coherent ideas. At least, some of them are. I'm looking into nanotech, but the biggest problem is large scale production. And there's more. A lot more. What exactly did you do for this?"
"I ran an internet contest asking people to submit ideas for how to improve the Alliance's technology. I couldn't go through all of them, of course, but the few that I found as good were moved to the top."
"I'll scan these," Phoebe said. "And I will see about holding a competition for these sorts of things more often."
Juan smiled. "Yes. Perhaps you ca ask Kawtyahtnakal if you can run these in the Union as well?"
"Or the university campuses in the Vinarii Empire," Phoebe suggested. "Thank you for this idea. I might have heard it before, but the reminder is useful, now that we have more diplomatic standing for it."
"How goes the end of the war against the Wisselen?"
"Badly, but well. Brey has to use all her power to breach through the psychic amplifiers, and even then, she can only put in a few people at a time," Gaia said. "I've been working with her on reducing the mental strain of making the portals through so much interference, and there's been progress, but sadly, this may be too much for her long-term. We need effective soldiers."
"I can't participate yet. The Council Director has denied my appeal," Phoebe said. "And I won't go public with it. The situation is way too volatile."
Juan nodded. He knew that she was only talking about it with him here as a way of indirectly asking for his help when he was elected. Juan wanted to increase cooperation between Phoebe and the Command Council, so more funding and more consulting with Phoebe would become the norm during his tenure. Of course, maintaining the government's power meant providing for his people, both the ones from his city and those all across Luna. So he'd focus hard on that, too.
Lowering food prices, raising the welfare cap again, auditing the corporations like the DMO and the Beijing Manufacturing Union, and whatever popular social policies would be priorities. There was a push for government-provided exoskeletons from the Breyyanik to be bought for the elderly, so they could still move around and walk. The more expensive models came with versions that dealt with the messier parts of old age as well.
"I see."
"Good. I'm glad."
Juan, Gaia, and Phoebe continued to stand there for an awkward moment when he cleared his throat. "Alright. Gaia, if that's all you need, then you can get going."
"Wow. Don't want me here?" Gaia asked, smiling.
"Well, the conversation's going to be boring. Tax policy, economics, politics, and a request for Phoebe to take a look at my son's literature class tutoring VI."
"Which model?" Phoebe asked.
"4.2. Supposedly the company that keeps charge of them now will translate Shakespeare's works into modern languages without issue, but he's still having problems. Plus, he's struggling to learn how to describe author usage of figurative language in his essays, and the VI hasn't improved much with his grades."
Phoebe rubbed her hands together, releasing a rubbery sound that wasn't quite metallic. "I could have a hologram of myself tutor him, if you want."
Juan tried his best to keep his face straight. "Um, that might not be a good idea, considering his age."
"So he's attracted to me? Well I could just make a model of some old 2170s schoolteacher then, with the big loopy glasses. Maybe add a wart on the nose. I can handle it, don't worry. But you won't be getting it for free. I'll give you the standard rate, which is about...300 credits an hour?"
"Quite a lot."
"Yes. But I'm a decent teacher, and I can draw on those Vinarii professors that are talking to me right now."
"Vinarii professors?"
Juan wondered about that. Was she actually talking to multiple professors hundreds of lightyears away, even as she was speaking to him?
"Yep. Ancient Vinarii history is fascinating. Just like Humanity on Earth and the Breyyanik on Brey, they had global warming from burning fossil fuels there too. Though from what Brey the goddess told me, that's only possible in her world since her civilization, the Kar'pel, put many of their resources back into the ground to stockpile them for future civilizations. Fascinating stuff. And I'm getting instruction on things like advanced chemistry, and material science. Even psychic physics class holds a wealth of information. Learning about how hyperdense psychic instances can interact with the electromagnetic, strong, and weak forces may be the key to understanding both Brey and Gaia's power."
Gaia gave Phoebe an interested look.
"There's clearly something with the electromagnetic force, though I can't say the same for the others. I do have control over radiation, so I might have something involved with the weak force. After all, that ability does seem to line up with it, though the psychic energy to actually do that isn't good with making new things on its own. Perhaps it is why I can turn combinations of materials into alloys, though."
"Yes."
"Phoebe, how is your android production going?"
"Pretty well," she said. "Currently, the battery can power them for 5 days at maximum, though I usually have them recharge for 1 day after 4. I make about 10,000 a day in al the factories combined. I plan on increasing that by 10% every month, if I can. The goal is to continue ramping up production."
"Where are they staying?"
"Mercury, away from the other people. There's a few of them that go into the cities for purposes, but I don't really do much. They'll continue to be where they are until they're needed. I don't particularly want the responsibility of dealing with the Wisselen soldiers that we've been taking."
"I see."
"There has been a series of divergences in my consciousness, perhaps from cosmic rays hitting my computers randomly. Pieces of this sometimes come together and are making something that I don't quite understand. But I do wonder what is happening."
"If there is something to be drawn from that, have you considered asking the hivemind?"
"I have, but it is confused at what it sees as well."
"Hmm. Well, maybe you'll understand soon. I hope you do, at least."
Juan knew that it would likely depend on Phoebe herself. But whatever it was, he had the feeling that it was important.

Penny wiped the sweat off her face with a towel and drank more water. Her heart was beating fast from the exertion of running on the treadmill. She sighed, pulling herself off of it and feeling the soreness in her muscles. She looked over at the woman that was nearly twenty years younger than her that was standing off to the side, slumping a bit. "Five dollars please."
"What the hell. You're like 70 years old. How are you doing this?"
"Well, I'm the strongest 71 year old you're ever going to see," Penny said, grinning happily. She pulled off her hair tie to let it go free. Her hair fell to her shoulders, which rippled with lean muscle.
"Well, Sara? What do you think?"
Sara laughed. "How much can you lift?"
"200 kilograms, or about 80 in each arm. Of course, that's the max I'll go, not necessarily the max that is possible."
"And the hivemind isn't empowering you?"
"Nope. It's all me, and a little bit of Nilnacrawla."
"Oh, I forgot you had a little guy in there," Sara said.
A sliver of psychic energy left Penny's arms, materializing into Nilnacrawla's head next to her. "I'm not a little guy," he said.
Sara lifted her hands and took a step back, clearly cowed by Nilnacrawla's sudden appearance. Penny could feel his amusement through the mind bridge. "Yeah, I get it. No harm, no foul. Don't eat me."
"He doesn't eat people. At least, not that I know of."
"Don't check your closet," he said.
"Yeah. So anyway, I'm glad that you came out with me today, Sara. I needed to get out of the house, you know? My body doesn't move like it used to." Penny flexed her arms.
Sara rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up. You still can't beat the Olympic weightlifters."
"Well, am I supposed to? That's for people in their twenties and thirties. Comparing myself to them is useless and a waste of my time."
"But you still want to beat them," Sara said.
"Well, yeah. But it's not a real goal. With psychic energy control, I can already punch a hole through a wall, except if it's made out of metal, in which case I merely put a dent in it."
"You're a monster."
"Eh, maybe. But being strong is fun. I don't have to ask for help with the pickle jar."
"You'd think that after all these centuries, that they'd make them easier to open."
"No such luck. Just be glad everything isn't drab grey and white, with blue lines everywhere and no railings. Trust me, early to mid 2000s sci-fi is a trip through it."
"I'm sure," Sara said. "We're doing a binge watch tonight with the girls, wanna come with?"
"What show?"
"Stranded."
"Which season?"
"1 through 6."
"What the hell?"
"Well, only 1 tonight," Sara said. They headed to the showers. Penny got nice and clean, getting rid of the feeling of sweat as her clothing was quickly washed and dried in a small attachment to the whole thing. Showers had gotten a lot fancier in the long years of her life, and there was an extreme happiness that one experienced after feeling the hot air dry one's hair and skin.
She picked up her clothes, put them on, and then walked out to see Sara waiting for her near the door, shoes and socks in hand. "Looks like you aren't faster at everything, slowpoke."
"Try me. We can run a marathon right now."
"Even you can't do that."
"Here on Luna? Yep, I can. Now, on Earth, I'd agree."
"Earth is what counts," Sara argued.
"Then why are we on Luna?" Penny grinned. "Perhaps it's because Luna counts too. Plus, I like these silent parts of the gym too. Wild how some can be booming with concerts and music, while others are quiet as you are after looking at Nilnacrawla in the darkness."
"It was one time, okay?"
Nilancrawla appeared next to her again, laughing. "It most definitely wasn't one time."
"Okay, maybe three. But the second barely counted, you were literally waiting in the basement! Who wouldn't be scared by that? Plus, you were making small noises on purpose. Bastard."
"I know the names of both my parents, in fact."
"That's not what- yeah, sure," Sara said. "Yeah, not sure that you're doing that on accident."
"I'm not. It's fun to mess with you humans," Nilancrawla said.
"Yeah, until we lay you out on the floor with our games."
"They're designed by humans, for humans. What am I supposed to do, beat you?"
"Get good, and yes. For a species that supposedly conquered the universe, you can't seem to even do that?"
"Please. You guys haven't even touched the meaning of dominion. You've had genetic engineering for centuries, and yet Humanity's females still have their... blood discharges? I forgot the name."
"Can't believe you think that periods are any sort of equivalency. If you got one, it would lay you out on the floor more thoroughly than anything stressful you've ever done." Sara pointed at Nilnacrawla's head. "And another thing. Other species have their equivalents. Acuarfar shed their carapaces in rapid molting sessions, as do Vinarii, but slower. The Breyyanik and Knowers shed their fur, and bald patches are seen as humorous and embarrassing when they appear, to the point that they will wear bandages over them to hide them."
"That's true."
Sara continued. "And don't forget that Humanity's at the center of the most powerful Alliance in the galaxy. We've got the-"
"Well, technically the most powerful Alliance in the galaxy is the Sprilnav Alliance of United Allied Unions."
"What?"
Nilnacrawla sighed. "It's a federation of large Sprilnav nations, from what Spentha says."
"Well, it doesn't count," Sara said.
"So excluding the most powerful nation in the galaxy, then yes, the Alliance is the most powerful."
"You think you're funny, don't you."
Penny recognized the look that Nilnacrawla had in his eyes.
"Nope. I know I am."
"Haha. We stand in awe of your wit and brilliance, oh great Sprilnav Elder. Shall we all fall to our knees in worship of your unrivaled comedic genius and splendor?"
Penny sighed. "Can you two quit it for now? You can go and banter with each other when you get home. And Nilnacrawla, stop making disparaging comments on Humanity."
"Aw, you can take it."
"But she can't."
"I can, and I can give it back," Sara retorted. "Please let me bring up the genocides, and then we can really get going."
"Well, I'm not going to deny them," Nilnacrawla said. "Except that it doesn't matter in your words with me, since I was in the mindscape the whole time."
"Well, you're talking to me, and not my species. So you shouldn't speak ill of Humanity either."
"Fine then. You look better with less makeup on, and darker clothing."
"That's speaking ill of me?" Sara asked.
"Well, it's because you're not doing those things."
"You know not all women care about their appearance, right? Penny might be putting on the 71 year old muscle show for suitors, but I'm not."
"Please," Penny scoffed. "Not looking for anyone right now. It would be too weird, with Nilnacrawla in my head."
"Right. Maybe you just can't get a man."
"I can't. Everyone around me is boys and little girls."
"I'm not a child, Penny."
"Nope. But still, I'm not a fan of age gaps, and with my strength, anyone my age I touch is going to turn to dust. 70 may be the new 40, but weak isn't the new strong."
"Sounds like you need an android. There's some companies that do that-"
"Well, that just makes me uncomfortable," Penny said. "I don't need that either. And I've heard that the VIs for those suck."
"They do, but not in the way you mean."
"Sara, please shut up," Penny said. Nilnacrawla started laughing again.
"I'm so glad you have friends now, Penny! This is fun!"
"Did you really just say that? I'm going to put you in the corner if you don't behave yourself." Penny opened the door to her car, and Sara got in. Nilnacrawla formed into a full body and sat in the back, lying on the seats in an unnatural pose that was clearly fake. Penny set the autopilot so she didn't have to bother with driving. On some days, she wanted to do it herself, but on others, she didn't. Luna traffic was separated into self-driving sections that zipped by at hair-raising speeds and into slower free-guided sections that allowed for normal driving and had much lower speed limits. The two were known colloquially by the terms the 'fast lane' and the 'zoom lane.'
Penny arrived at Sara's house, seeing a number of cars already parked nearby.
"Hey everyone!" Sara announced after the door opened for them. "Penny's here with Nilnacrawla! Initiate Plan Red!"
She was handed a headband. Nilnacrawla's was more of a neckband. Sara put one on and began to announce the situation. "Right. Today's Independence Day. We're gonna get grilling. Whoever cooks the best steak gets 80 dollars, and first pick of the snacks."

"I'll scan these," Phoebe said. "And I will see about holding a competition for these sorts of things more often."
Juan smiled. "Yes. Perhaps you ca ask Kawtyahtnakal if you can run these in the Union as well?"
"Or the university campuses in the Vinarii Empire," Phoebe suggested. "Thank you for this idea. I might have heard it before, but the reminder is useful, now that we have more diplomatic standing for it."
"How goes the end of the war against the Wisselen?"
"Badly, but well. Brey has to use all her power to breach through the psychic amplifiers, and even then, she can only put in a few people at a time," Gaia said. "I've been working with her on reducing the mental strain of making the portals through so much interference, and there's been progress, but sadly, this may be too much for her long-term. We need effective soldiers."
"I can't participate yet. The Council Director has denied my appeal," Phoebe said. "And I won't go public with it. The situation is way too volatile."
Juan nodded. He knew that she was only talking about it with him here as a way of indirectly asking for his help when he was elected. Juan wanted to increase cooperation between Phoebe and the Command Council, so more funding and more consulting with Phoebe would become the norm during his tenure. Of course, maintaining the government's power meant providing for his people, both the ones from his city and those all across Luna. So he'd focus hard on that, too.
Lowering food prices, raising the welfare cap again, auditing the corporations like the DMO and the Beijing Manufacturing Union, and whatever popular social policies would be priorities. There was a push for government-provided exoskeletons from the Breyyanik to be bought for the elderly, so they could still move around and walk. The more expensive models came with versions that dealt with the messier parts of old age as well.
"I see."
"Good. I'm glad."
Juan, Gaia, and Phoebe continued to stand there for an awkward moment when he cleared his throat. "Alright. Gaia, if that's all you need, then you can get going."
"Wow. Don't want me here?" Gaia asked, smiling.
"Well, the conversation's going to be boring. Tax policy, economics, politics, and a request for Phoebe to take a look at my son's literature class tutoring VI."
"Which model?" Phoebe asked.
"4.2. Supposedly the company that keeps charge of them now will translate Shakespeare's works into modern languages without issue, but he's still having problems. Plus, he's struggling to learn how to describe author usage of figurative language in his essays, and the VI hasn't improved much with his grades."
Phoebe rubbed her hands together, releasing a rubbery sound that wasn't quite metallic. "I could have a hologram of myself tutor him, if you want."
Juan tried his best to keep his face straight. "Um, that might not be a good idea, considering his age."
"So he's attracted to me? Well I could just make a model of some old 2170s schoolteacher then, with the big loopy glasses. Maybe add a wart on the nose. I can handle it, don't worry. But you won't be getting it for free. I'll give you the standard rate, which is about...300 credits an hour?"
"Quite a lot."
"Yes. But I'm a decent teacher, and I can draw on those Vinarii professors that are talking to me right now."
"Vinarii professors?"
Juan wondered about that. Was she actually talking to multiple professors hundreds of lightyears away, even as she was speaking to him?
"Yep. Ancient Vinarii history is fascinating. Just like Humanity on Earth and the Breyyanik on Brey, they had global warming from burning fossil fuels there too. Though from what Brey the goddess told me, that's only possible in her world since her civilization, the Kar'pel, put many of their resources back into the ground to stockpile them for future civilizations. Fascinating stuff. And I'm getting instruction on things like advanced chemistry, and material science. Even psychic physics class holds a wealth of information. Learning about how hyperdense psychic instances can interact with the electromagnetic, strong, and weak forces may be the key to understanding both Brey and Gaia's power."
Gaia gave Phoebe an interested look.
"There's clearly something with the electromagnetic force, though I can't say the same for the others. I do have control over radiation, so I might have something involved with the weak force. After all, that ability does seem to line up with it, though the psychic energy to actually do that isn't good with making new things on its own. Perhaps it is why I can turn combinations of materials into alloys, though."
"Yes."
"Phoebe, how is your android production going?"
"Pretty well," she said. "Currently, the battery can power them for 5 days at maximum, though I usually have them recharge for 1 day after 4. I make about 10,000 a day in al the factories combined. I plan on increasing that by 10% every month, if I can. The goal is to continue ramping up production."
"Where are they staying?"
"Mercury, away from the other people. There's a few of them that go into the cities for purposes, but I don't really do much. They'll continue to be where they are until they're needed. I don't particularly want the responsibility of dealing with the Wisselen soldiers that we've been taking."
"I see."
"There has been a series of divergences in my consciousness, perhaps from cosmic rays hitting my computers randomly. Pieces of this sometimes come together and are making something that I don't quite understand. But I do wonder what is happening."
"If there is something to be drawn from that, have you considered asking the hivemind?"
"I have, but it is confused at what it sees as well."
"Hmm. Well, maybe you'll understand soon. I hope you do, at least."
Juan knew that it would likely depend on Phoebe herself. But whatever it was, he had the feeling that it was important.

2023.03.19 00:45 magicmanjmm Need help - Water not rendering correctly!
Relevant PC specs: CPU: i9-13900k RAM: 32 GB GPU: MSI RTX 3060ti Gaming Z Trio (Installed on a 1TB NVME M.2 drive)
For the longest time since I got Fallout 4 VR, bodies of water have not rendered correctly. When I wander about near the water, it seems like I'm in the center of one big invisible square that renders the water ONLY within that square area, but everything else beyond it is un-rendered generic blue water texture. Video link below to show what I'm seeing.
does anyone else have this issue? Even if not, any thoughts would be appreciated. 📷

For the longest time since I got Fallout 4 VR, bodies of water have not rendered correctly. When I wander about near the water, it seems like I'm in the center of one big invisible square that renders the water ONLY within that square area, but everything else beyond it is un-rendered generic blue water texture. Video link below to show what I'm seeing.
does anyone else have this issue? Even if not, any thoughts would be appreciated. 📷

2023.03.19 00:16 Late_Builder6990 Leviathan Design Process
Hello everyone. 54Godamora here coming to you all for Kaiju advice.
I have posted several Kaiju Profiles over on my DeviantArt page.
You see, Leviathan in my story is a catch-all term for any surviving Mesozoic Marine reptiles. Which ones have survived into the 21st century? We have:
And several of them are behind numerous cryptids around the world. In no particular order there is:
The starting point is the Liopleurodon from Walking with Dinosaurs. . . but the book and not the Documentary. To explain, here’s the excerpt describing the old male Liopleurodon.
“Like all Liopleurodon, this male is beautifully bi-colored, with black markings on top and white underneath. However, he is old and these patterns are no longer as visible as they once were. His flippers and head are covered in deep scars from frequent encounters with other Liopleurodon, the only marine creatures capable of inflicting such wounds. Also, he has collected the usual range of “squatters” during his decades at sea. Along his ridged back bryozoans, anemones, seaweed, and even corals grow, and among them, lampreys, leeches, and shrimps feed. His eyes are encrusted with lice, but this does not concern him. However, all Liopleurodon occasionally suffer from heavy infestations of worms in their nostrils and ears. These ailments can compromise their ability to hunt, and in the worst cases stop them catching anything, effectively starving them to death.”
And also mentioned in the book are hagfish which clean up the dead Ophthalmosaurus half he leaves behind.
Yeah. . . . this makes me feel a lot more sorry for him. So let’s expand on that and make him the marine equivalent of my take on Methuselah. I’ll explain more later. For now, here are the other references for this guy.
I was thinking of magnifying it and he’s essentially an organic ship, like an aircraft carrier & battle cruiser. More than capable of attacking on his own but has defenses if anything gets too close. Stinging anemone tentacles, strangling seaweed vines for immobile defenses. As for more mobile defenses, he does have basal/aquatic versions of the Trilobites & Shockirus that are found on Methuselah on his back.
And now for the worm-like squatters. These vary from python-sized lamprey & leeches that will detach from his body to suck the blood out of anything human-sized, fireworms/hagfish hybrids that not only contain venom that causes the sensation of a burn, but also spit said venom which combined with the slime of a hagfish, makes it impossible to get off.
He does have defenders that are unique to him. These include a unique type of sea-spider called the Spindletroopers (same as from The Future Is Wild. . . but the size of a Japanese Spider Crab.) The Spindletroopers are among the first line of defense, swarming around a target and harassing it with their sharp pincers and chemical irritants. However, these giant sea-spiders aren’t the only exotic arthropods found here. Eurypterids with massive pincers for crushing & stabbing their prey, acidic blue blood like their horseshoe crab relatives, and rarely venture far due to their armored bodies slowing them down, pistol shrimp/mantis shrimp ‘cannons’ for pincers that fire explosive cavitation bubbles, and then there’s the arrow shrimp/spiny lobsters which are organic javelins with spiked head & serrated antennae that jet towards their target, and impale for bloody lacerations.
Fish are also present and are highly distinctive. These are the Heterodontgnathans. More commonly known as Bone Fish. Descended from Arthrodire Placoderms such as Eastmanosteus, these predatory fish take inspiration from several fish, both real & fictional.
And yet they aren’t the strangest animals to be found here. That honor goes to the most derived Pterosaur of all, the Pteracuda. Descended from Tethydraco-relatives, this Pterosaur has evolved to be adapted for an almost marine lifestyle with several fish fins adorning the body. Diving like a gannet, they accompany T. ferox on hunts, and during frenzies will occasionally hunt any Bone fish and vice versa. As defense against their own predators, they can deliver a powerful hip-check and a slicing jet of water.
(In terms of body plan, a fusion of the SyFy Pteracuda & Plesioth from Monster Hunter)
So why such a massive & diverse ecosystem on this one Kaiju? Well as I’ve said, I took what the Liopleurodon from the WWD book has and expanded on it, a video by Brian Engh talks about how large marine predators help with ecosystems, and mentioning towards the end how sea turtles have their ecosystems with barnacles on their shells & pilot fish accompanying them.
Video in question: REAL Sea Monsters - Ressurecting Mosasaurs for Savage Ancient Seas
Now one question I have is that Leviathan is also semi-aquatic and therefore can move on land. This has me questioning how is the ecosystem on his back able to breath air and potentially survive being in battles against the military & in other Kaiju battles?
I’m not entirely sure on this last one so that’s where you, the reader of this journal post, comes in to provide help.
Similarly, the other is coming up with versions of the Cryptids more based on our modern understanding of plesiosaurs and other marine reptiles.

- Regio (large spine along back to absorb lightning strikes to power energy attacks and webbed digits)

- Pycnodonts (crushing pair of teeth in back & Hensodon headgear) Weird fish 1 - Pycnodontiforms by artbyjrc on DeviantArt
- Ichthyodectids (slicing teeth at front of the jaw & thunniform body plan) Fish with a bite - Ichthyodectids by artbyjrc on DeviantArt
- Onychodonts (tooth whorl in lower jaw) Dagger teeth - Onychodonts by artbyjrc on DeviantArt
- GenitoMurder fish from Monsterverse (Dunkleosteus-esque jaws and color palette; Genitor is the ‘2nd-in-command’ behind T. ferox.)
- Remora (some have evolved a sucker pad on top of their heads to hold on to T. ferox to save energy.)
- Flying fish (others have turned their pectoral fins & caudal fins to allow for them to ‘fly’ out of the water, erupting out to attack those on-board ships.)
- Black dragonfish (bioluminescent body to attract prey when several thousand meters deep, and a lure on the lower jaw which is used to communicate with others by spreading the scent of intruders; as such is found on scouts)
- Viperfish (massive teeth)
- Stethacanthus (head spine/ironing board combined with remora sucker pad)
- Iniopterygiformes/ ‘Flying Sharks’ (combined with flying fish)
And yet they aren’t the strangest animals to be found here. That honor goes to the most derived Pterosaur of all, the Pteracuda.

2023.03.18 21:34 SwarthySphere87 What Does Buying the Most Expensive Pack Get You? Comparing NHL 23 to Other Sports Games
The TOTS release & cost brought out many responses from the community. As a F2P casual, I was interested in why, so I booted up all the sports games that I owned, went into their ultimate teams & looked for the most expensive items in the store. The results comparing NHL 23 to the others were shocking to say the least
Originally I was going to make this post "What can $75 get you in NHL 23 v. Other Games" but surprisingly NHL was not the most expensive game. The TOTS pack, however, offers the least amount of items for cost by a wide margin.
