I don't have a world that this idea particularly fits, so I'm just throwing it out there.

If you know anything about space you probably know that eclipses aren't rare per se in the universe. Any planet with moons or other planets in near orbits on the same plane are going to experience some amount of stellar eclipsing from time to time. What's special about earth's eclipses is that our moon has almost exactly the same apparent magnitude as the sun, which blocks out the main body of the sun and leaves the corona visible, causing all sorts of interesting visual phenomena.

I'm no expert on exoplanets and wouldn't even know where to look this up, but I'm not aware of any other bodies where thi

How could you deal with someone who thought like that? Vimes asked himself. A mere murderer, well, you had a whole range of options. He could deal with a mere murderer. You had criminals and you had policemen, and there was a sort of see-saw there which balanced out in some strange way. But if you took a man who'd sit down and decide to start a war, what in the name of seven hells could you balance him with? You'd need a policeman the size of a country.

If you could put up one piece of Discworld art or one passage of text in your home or in a prominent place, what would it be?

For myself, the art would have to be something from The Last Hero, either the diagram of the Kite or one of the full illustrations of the Turtle and disc.

For the text there are obviously a lot of options but I would have to go with Granny's "Evil begins by treating people as things."

I always assumed the "y" in Gytha was pronounced like in gyre or why, but I've recently listened to several Discworld podcasts that go with "Githa" like a short "i". Nigel Planer pronounces it this way in his reads as well, though Celia Imrie says it the other way.

I'm just curious how people take to it naturally. Knowing Pterry it's probably based on some real name I'm not aware of, which might present a clue.

This is a nonprofit providing free rides to the polls for people who might not otherwise be able to travel. Their emphasis is on supporting blue voters. You can donate and help them get the word out, or if you're in the area or can get there you can sign up to provide rides, though I'm not sure how fast they can get you on the rosters. Even if you can't help directly you can spread the word that this is an option.

I found the larger, more complicated puzzles a lot easier. I think it's because I was able to figure out what each piece of the puzzle was supposed to do and how I should use it. The hardest puzzles were the ones that were just small rooms with a couple of devices in them and not much hint how to use them. The weird laser interactions threw me every time.

For the record, I solved about half the puzzles without any hints. For the rest I got mild hints or just looked up the answer because I couldn't find a hint. I probably could have solved most of them if I was more patient, but after a while the laser ones started to grate on my nerves.

Not saying you have to give your life to it. Civilization is supposed to be a group effort. Doing a little is better than doing nothing. But if you absolve yourself from it entirely, you hand over your fate to people you don't even know, many of whom probably hate you on idiotic principle.

I know our system is corrupt, poorly designed to begin with, and run by hypocrites. I'd like a fresh start more than anything else. But we live in a world where the dominant powers wield nuclear weapons, so shaking the pillars now is unlikely to yield a survivable opportunity. And any attempts to renovate the system need to be made in tandem with efforts to minimize the existing one's decay.

This started around 4.1. Instead of orbiting around whatever I have selected or moused over, the viewport often whirls around some point in the distance. I enabled "orbit around selection" in the settings and it hasn't helped. This is worst in edit mode, where it seems to orbit around the object's origin point instead of the selected geometry, causing me to get lost constantly. Moving the 3d cursor changes nothing.

This has completely ruined my workflow and I can't figure out how to fix it.

Be it a form of technology or magic, a piece of infrastructure, a building or other location that was created to serve a specific need. Whatever the case, it's no longer needed, due to changes in peoples' lives or advances in science or magic, yet is still around.

Why was it made? What replaced it? Has something new been made from it, or is it preserved in its original form? Is it regarded as a piece of cultural heritage, or a nuisance?

I think most of us were frustrated throughout these games by how often Aloy would meet an interesting character, go through some harrowing journey with them, then immediately f' off as soon as the situation was resolved. If we could override her antisocial tendencies, who would we recruit to the team, or at least give a focus so we could keep in touch? For the sake of interest, let's say you have to choose 3 characters, from either game.

Mine would be:

• Talanah, for obvious reasons. Abs. She's busy managing the Hunting Lodge, but because of that she has connections and is probably the best person to serve as liaison to the Carja for the purpose of building forces to fight Nemesis.
• V

Taking a Waterwing to dodge missiles by repeatedly diving in order to reach Pangea Park? I thought that was a really exciting and dynamic scene. Somewhat clunky in the controls, and it didn't last very long, but it was a refreshingly different challenge. I'm thinking the third game will expand on this and we'll see a lot more aerial combat and other scenarios.

There are two situations where you can talk to Tilda. First at her house after she rescues Aloy, then at the base just before the final mission. The dialogue is the same, as is the audio. However, in the first scene, Aloy and Tilda are sitting at a table, and in the second, they're standing. I'm pretty sure that means they recorded the motion capture for every dialogue option twice. It's an impressive attention to detail.
