Hamas was also left to run amok for 5 hours and at the end of that were able to cross back over the border with hostages.

How on earth is one of the worlds most powerful militaries caught with it's pants down that badly and how were they not able to organize some kind of a response in 5 hours?

At the very least you'd have expected them to ambush them on the way out and rescue the hostages. They have fleets of drones for pete's sake, they could have taken out every single one of those terrorists with drones to spare.

It makes no sense whatsoever, unless of course they let it happen as a casus belli to once and for all deal with the Palestinian problem.

Fantastic movie, I especially liked the body horror aspect they used with the ETs, the way they moved and the huge long limbs etc.

Spoiler time though, I reckon it was all the parasites. The only way they can survive and propagate is by assimilating new hosts, that's why there were a bunch of different ET species but they all looked uniform and they were all sexless too because the bodies are just vessels for the parasite, they have no need to reproduce. Also why the ETs didn't care she ganked those other ETs, the parasites escaped and there were plenty of new hosts to be had, it was only when she tried to crush the parasite that they got angry.

And the end bit where the ETs are talking about what to do with her and that ET's throat is vibrating, it's because the parasites are discussing what to do with her and not the hosts. The tall classic ETs are powerful telekenetics so it would stand to reason they're equally powerful telepathics too so they wouldn't need to talk vocally.

So I reckon the parasites cooked up the "perfect world" shown at the end to keep the humans minds docile while the parasites piloted their bodies around, assimilating new species.

Which is hard to do when quick looting because you can't see the tag, the whole contraband system is such a pain.

My biggest UI gripe has to be the lack of a Contraband menu, instead you have to search through all your gear looking for a tiny yellow or red tag.

True, should be more like exponential growth in perpetuity or something but you get the idea.

Exactly, capitalism is economic perpetual motion, you can't have exponential growth in a finite system.

Haha I was thinking along similar lines, my R5 1600 is either going to take to it with it's usual shrug while it rolls up it's sleeves or just explode, it still punches way above it's weight so hopefully it won't explode but she's getting a bit long in the tooth.

I disagree about the publishing side somewhat, every now and then the publishing team hits a home run. Like I've been playing Ghostwire: Tokyo recently which is published by Bethesda and it's a pretty good game, and let's not forget Prey which was an awesome game also published by Bethesda.

So tbey do get it right sometimes.

Ye definitely hit or miss, they've been excellent for me. I got the 970 EVO last year or the year before and it's been rock solid, my RAM is also Samsung chips albeit B die so higher bin which probably explains why I've never had a single issue with them in 4 odd years.

Samsung, bit more pricey but both my ssd and ram are both Samsung chips and I haven't had a single problem with either.

E. Seems that further down the thread someone is saying Samsung is having issues too, which is dissapointing as I've always trusted Samsung.

If you have the system always running most of the cartage back to the top could be handled by the siphoning effect, like draining a washing machine or siphoning patrol.

You'd need energy to get it started but after that it should keep siphoning as long as there's liquid to siphon.

See and this is how I know it's all bullshit, what man in his mid to late thirties still has twelve friends? I've never even had twelve friends at the same time before.
