It can be both

 

Do not speak ill of the royal family in my presence, peasants.

Uh.

Not that I'm any less of a peasant.

 

Hey, bangin' out some stars on a holiday weekend afternoon is nothing next to these ridiculous Japanese speed runners:

 

1h41m?!! Witchcraft!

Edit: And when did Ulicus become the White Ranger?

 

When he lost his Green Ranger powers.

Edit: my failure to read the thread fully has been exposed

I could make a Sentai comment but I won't

Edit dos: can't wait

 

They are very similarly spelled.


Which may be why I always picture Alsakan as an ice planet.

 

That's actually a completely reasonable assumption for Star Wars.

 

Would it also be reasonable to assume that the natives are based on an embarrassingly stereotypical view of Inuit culture?

 

That would actually be a step up for the Core.

 

Ulicus

Should I attempt to acquire this at SDCC

Oh wait it's $175

On an unrelated note, I realized that Dragon Ball Super is basically the equivalent of the prequel trilogy sort of I guess in terms of the period of time between Z (or GT) and it, although Kami to Kami and Fukkatsu no F came out beforehand. But it's a lot better than Dragon Ball Z just in the first episode because it has a much bigger character focus and looks like it will be a nice blend of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z in the sense of gags and power fantasy. And given the manga is based on the show, it won't need copious amounts of filler, e.g. ten minutes of this

 

Doesn't count if you only did it so you could make that joke.

 

You know, it would be really interesting to see an advanced, high-tech world that is one of the old high culture worlds of the core whose culture is based on Inuit culture

 

I would definitely like to see an icy city planet that doesn't just look like somebody's remote ski resort, but has actually been fully-developed. Although, the logical issue you run into there is the likelihood that they'd have just altered the climate with weather control tech.

It sort of makes me think of Toola, though that's more a seedy spaceport situation. Also, the prison from Star Trek VI, though that's more a seedy spaceprison situation.

...I guess I just want everything to be seedy.

 

You have to accept that not every planet can be 100% Imperial.

 

GrandAdmiralJello go to bed omg

 

This line from Eleven Thirty Eight's Dark Disciple review keeps making me laugh. Because, you know, *gestures to all of me*

 

None yet. Will be paying it off over a couple of months. It is a major chunk of my budget, but is months of hobby time building and then painting the thing.

 

Have we seen any cyberpunk world without any Asian country as a cultural-economical superpower?

 

Yeah . . . no.

 

Maybe if it was the Dragon Flute...
