So after the 24 pages of debate, here is where I fall: RAW: I think Maxperson's notion that a spell is still being cast on your turn is valid....aka magic is happening. But by the book this spellcasting is being done through the Ready action and Not the Magic Action, and therefore....is RAW...

yep you got them. Clearly in this case, between the choice of: 1) WOTC designers simply did not think of this very specific rules interaction when they changed action surge. OR 2) Cackling madly they gleefully kept this rules exploit intact, waiting for the legions of debates and the cries of...

I have a feeling Morrow has a trump card that he still hasn't played. That said, he straight up told Yutani that recovery of the species was possible but unlikely, that was the hail mary part of the plan. Now to the rest, we will see if he plays a trump or if he just got got.

it wasn't a defense, it was in fact the exact opposite. My point is that it highlights how dangerous the technology is, because companies are not able/willing to augment it with the necessary safeguards to prevent such issues from occurring.

Part of the issue is I think your looking at it from the wrong lens. Your looking at it from a genius strategic mastermind who is going to take the most optimal path to victory. The Mule is not that. They are nacisistic and enjoy being in the middle of things. Its not just the destination, its...

well the explanation is easy..... because there are a thousand things that ChatGPT will do if left unchecked that you have to be specifically code to stop, and each one can have a dozen variations that you have to account for. And that takes time, energy, and money. That in a nutshell is the...

This honestly feels like someone went outside the chain of command and did this outside of BK's knowledge. We have seen just how little he values human life, so I doubted he would have authorized that gravesite. Probably some sympathetic scientists that thought it was the right thing to do. and...

Its not THAT distinct though. After all, if I cast a spell with it....I still have to reference the Magic Action to know how to actually do it. I am still ultimately taking the action in question. If I can't hide in open sight, doesn't mean I can ready a hide action and suddenly get to hide in...

One of the big questions about the S3 reveal is the null field. Did it actually have that impact on Baeta, aka was she faking, or because she is so powerful psychically it had that much of an impact on her. If so that seems like THE weapon to use on her, if Hari's ship can generate it should be...

S2 is still my favorite. The scene where Day removes any trace of that girl's existence is one of the most brutal, bad ass displays of power I have ever seen on screen.

hehe didn't even watch the last season! :)

If we think of the "normal" tv show, if a show establishes a main protagonist that the show revolves around, and then you shift to now follow a different character, it can be jarring for people. Doesn't matter if its true to previous media, people get used to a certain thing and often don't like...

yeah to me its always about internal consistency. If the universe is consistent to itself, or characters are consistent to themselves, than that's fine. Alien has created a universe where workers have horrific safety standards compared to our modern day. Its more like early industrial era where...

having not read the books, I figured Magnifico would betry them in some way, but did not think he would actually be the mule. Hehe I thought the mule was the mule!

Yeah great show, I agree that every season has been a little less but still a wonderful ride

Life in its infinite complexity is beautiful....and horrible. For at its core, the purpose of most life remains....the consumption of other life.

So the finale basically felt like the rest of the season as a whole. A fun premise, enjoyable characters enjoying the moment....but extremely rushed, with a plot moving at warp speed, that takes no time to consider any sensible alternatives, and just goes "well its clearly this....so that's...

people are having children a lot later than they used to. If we assume the Kents were 30 when they got Clark (which again for today's era is not super late to start a family). Clark is ~30 in the movie based on tweets by James Gunn. So the Kents are 60 years old...yep decently old. Even if you...

Another fun episode, man I felt the creep factor when tootles went for the cage. So a lot of the Alien franchise does run on incompetence which has been established in previous movies, but with the kids it adds a degree of believability. One moment the kids are able to make adult decisions and...

Which is also a somewhat faulty logic. The paper assumes that because a machine can have its lifetime extended from 10 to 20 years, its inevitable to extend it to 1000 years or infinite timespans. But with every incremental step your faced with newer more complex problems, and you hit limits...
