@Nick_Marseil They botched the eyes, not to make her ugly, but because CG eyes are hard. It looks like they are slightly forward from where they should be. To make something look good in real time engines often requires tweaking the 'objective reality' of a high resolution scan.

@Fejunk @DeltyThe73rd I could give a shit about totem mechs, dark age/jihad bullshit, LAMS, cloaking armor, 90% of tanks and aerospace units, obscure tech like laser heat sinks, binary lasers etc. But that's just me. I'm stuck on 3025, 3050 and maybe up to 3060.

@Fejunk @DeltyThe73rd 90% of that was playing Rogue Tech so no achievements. Vanilla Battletech is really boring. Think the omni-mods like BTA and RT will give you a MUCH better scope on lore, the tech, and the universe. The problem is there is a lot of crap in battletech that just shouldn't be there.

@ralph_now @InterstellarUAP @X They aren't UAP even, they are fucking boats. You can find views of this during the day and see the boats tooling around. It's just a trick of camera angles and optics like 99% of the stuff thats been released.

@Blindspots1983 @DrNeilStone No, the bias is in the diagnosis. Some kids get taken seriously and receive a diagnosis, some kids get punished for behavioral problems. I'll let you work out the demographics at play with the correlation of circumcision and higher levels of health care.

@DrNeilStone Rich white kids get taken seriously, poor brown kids get punitive treatment for 'behavioral' problems.

@DrNeilStone Within the study groups there was a bias where those who are circumcised are more likely to BE DIAGNOSED because the symptoms are more likely to be taken seriously or receive a higher level of health care. Namely males in richer, whiter, families.

@sean_gause Looks great, adds depth, fairly cheap, easy to turn a box into a building, what's not to love? We used this a lot on SimCity 2013.

@Elias_Funez @TheUnion With the blind drop down from Cedar Ridge into the odd 3-way split intersection this has got to be the most dangerous intersection in the county.
