So actually to add onto this, this was bothering me so I had to look into it further:

I was very incorrect - Hyperspace isn't a pocket dimension per se and you can hit things while moving through hyperspace. The reason they 'sometimes' get past shields is because shields have a refresh rate so it may be able to phase through if you get it just right.

I'm more with you on this now, its a little ridiculous that no ones really tried to weaponize hyperdrive engines.

As far as I know all droids in Star Wars have free will.

Han Solo gambled and won the Falcon from Lando (who appears well off), it was definitely too expensive for him to have bought normally.

I think the hyperspace battering ram is funky, but I believe it was less that it was a good tactical idea and more of the First Order being extremely arrogant by not having their shields up, not using a tractor beam, and not just sending a smaller ship forward to close the gap and blowing it up.

I think the movie wanted to show that they were savoring the victory and were willing to draw it out as they believed the rebels were drowning in hopelessness.

As I recall, hyperspace is like a pocket dimension. They just speed up a whole lot to enter hyperspace. So you can't collide with things 'in hyperspace', but only as you're going really fast while transitioning to hyperspace, which is quite a bit more limited in capability.

Hyperspace drives are expensive, and droids are sentient (so its still suicidal). Using it as a weapon would be like having an shotgun in an fps game, where the first 5 feet is extremely lethal to really big targets, whereas anything after that is a waste of time. Also each shot is $10k.

The real question would be why didn't she just splat against the cruiser's shields as they established that was a problem in the previous movie (when they need to hyperspace through the shielding of that planet), unless they had a Galaxy Quest moment where they forgot to flip the shields on.

They only have 7 days to fix the licensing or their licenses are revoked? Is Unity that hard up for cash?

It is not. Kdenlive is still pretty stout for what it is, but has some rough edges compared to DaVinci Resolve.

I had correctly guessed she drowned, so I checked downstream of the thinner and shallower (waist deep) river side of the island, which was closer to the town.

But no. She drowned upstream of the island trying to cross the river at its broadest point and further out of the town, apparently.

I think Bethesda just wanted me to finally use up those potions of water breathing.

That quest here to find the missing sister is just the worst:

No map marker, quest giver gives misleading directions, the 'obvious' cave leads you through a completely unrelated dungeon, only way to finish the quest is find an incredibly small alchemist pouch buried in mud underwater in a strong current surrounded by tall foliage, only quest rewards are alchemy ingredients.

Yeah they're centipede mechanoids. They're usually very old/ancient when you find them, so I thought they fit well for this meme.

...Skipped?

You mean, saved the best for last?

Am I missing something? What does Blender have that overlaps with an Adobe product?

Han Solo thought it was a moon up until he was in tractor beam distance. I'd imagine you wouldn't see it from hyperspace, but even if you did manage to get within visual distance of it, you'd probably assume it was an exoplanet or asteroid.

I guess the rebels on Alderaan should have been keeping an eye out for this thing but sensors in Star Wars seem to be a funky thing, since they have limited range and ships seem to bypass them all the time.

Edit: Totally forgot - The death star can enter hyperspace as shown in Rogue One. In may have only been in Alderaan's space for a little while.

  • Fields of Mistria
  • Roots of Pacha

Easy recommends if you liked Stardew Valley.

Weird recommends would be My time at Portia/Sandrock. They absolutely have combat, but have romance systems and a cuter aesthetic. Even the enemies are derpy/cute.
