The voting on this is brutal.

I believe (though I’m not an expert on the system) that it separates during the second stage when it’s no longer needed.

That’s the Launch Escape System (LES). It’s a rocket motor that can activate to separate the crew capsule from the rest of the rocket in the event of a bad launch.

I’m still fairly new to game development

You are considering making a multi-mode, live service game as what I presume is a solo developer.

Make a single player game centered around a single gameplay loop. Get it working well and make it fun. Keep the scope under control.

Once you can do this play around with more complex gameplay loops in single player games but always keep your scope manageable and planned out. Write yourself a game design document that outlines the scope and general objectives of the project and stick to it.

Now that you have identified your mistake, you can correct it.

This is the pics community, which is for image posts of photographs only, so I think you’re a little lost and should post this in a more appropriate community.

Oh my. This got me.

Walking distance to the woods.

I feel like her getting with Lucky and having a baby near the end was complete character assassination. I recall hearing the Fox pushed for certain things in the last couple of seasons and I suspect the push for her to get with Lucky, and Lucky becoming a reoccurring character was part of that.

In my mind, Luanne taking over Jack’s barber shop was the end of her character arc in the show. She’d finally found her calling and become a success. (Then suddenly we never see that Barber shop again and she backslides into just being a one dimensional dummy, but now pregnant and with Lucky to be annoying with in every scene.)

the meme of Hank with the big can of WD-40 that won’t open, but he’s prepared for that and just pulls out the smaller WD-40 was representative of the whole show

And he had the WD-40 to fix the squeak in the door of a place he was staying in on vacation. It wasn’t even his house.

What back?

Rocket launchers don’t need much material for a tube. Tubes are mostly for aiming rather than holding a lot of force.

Encounter At Farpoint was a fine pilot episode, and I’m tired of pretending its not.

Hank is an annoying boomer but he lives his values, which makes him endearing. There’s an episode where he notices the tile in his bathroom is faded and says it was guaranteed for 20 years and its only been “what 17, 18 years? Where’s that receipt?” That’s an annoying and obnoxious boomerism. On the other hand, if Hank guaranteed something for 20 years, even as an unofficial offhand comment, and somebody called him on it, he’d go take care of it.

Same thing with tools. Many boomers pretend to have any idea what they are doing when really they don’t have any tools or skills. Hank had enough tools and skills to teach an entire shop class in his garage.

He believes in the idealized idea of America. That means he works hard and to a high degree of craftsmanship and honesty. It also means he can get scammed and taken advantage of with his expectation that other people are doing the same.

I think they struggled early on for different reasons.

American Dad was too laser focused on being a political satire show and I just don’t think the writers were equipped to write a good political show. It just comes off as angry and with unlikable characters. Once it loosened up a little bit, having that political satire premise as a foundation gives the characters a baseline to work from and they all feel distinct because of it.

The Orville feels like Seth didn’t want to make a comedy. It feels to me like he just wanted to make Star Trek, but because he’s “a comedy guy” a lot of the humor, especially early on felt like it was put in to meet some expectation of Fox that a Seth show be a comedy.

‘In Country… Club’ is the example episode I use to get people to try the show. It is so good and commits to hard to the premise.

American Dad is a fantastically funny show, but season 1 is basically unwatchable. Season 2 is a mixed bag. I’d recommend people just start watching from season 3 onward and only check out the earlier episodes as a curiosity.

The conversation wasn’t exactly productive. In any case it wasn’t just that he didn’t care for reading books, but he actively opposed it which was really a wild position.

Somebody once told me they don’t read recreationally because authors are lazy for making readers do all the work of imagining what their story looks like. He was completely sincere, and actually became agitated at the idea of people reading anything beyond manuals or mandatory sorts of things.
