NASA will explore two different strategies for fetching Mars rocks collected by the Perseverance rover, and there's a chance these samples contain evidence of alien life.

A few days ago, I asked for feedback on NSFW restrictions and received far more if it than I was expected. I intend to get around to creating polls to decide which exact rules around NSFW restrictions will enacted, but with such a wide range of opinions expressed, I think multiple polls will be necessary to work out the fine details. For the time being, I'll be addressing what is perhaps the simplest issue brought up in that thread, that being sexualizing comments. For the sake of clarifying the four options, real examples of sexualizing comments include: * "Would" * "Booobieesss.. love em " * Example image #1 * Example Image #2 and real examples of sexualizing comments which would be considered constructive include: * "Needs more subsurface scattering, it looks like a sex doll or a dead body." * "Looks like the artifical skin of a sex doll tbh ... its getting uncanny but the Skin texture needs work." * "...the bouncy beds is a lil too much for it to be appealing " * "OK horniness aside this is absolutely incredible" What constitutes an explicitly sexualized artwork is difficult to define, but for the purposes of this poll, assume that things similar in nature to a sculpt of a standing nude body or a depiction of a nude character laying in a field does not count, but that a character in a risqu outfit or posing suggestively would count, even if no nudity is depicted. Sexualizing comments should be... View Poll submitted by /u/Avereniect [link] [comments]

A movie based on the video game Sleeping Dogs was in the works for years, but it's apparently no longer moving ahead. Actor Donnie Yen (Ip Man, John Wick, Rogue One) was announced as the lead years ago, and he's now confirmed the momentum there once was to make the movie happen has stalled."I spent a lot of time and did a lot of work with these producers, and I even invested some of my own money into obtaining the drafts and some of the rights," Yen told Polygon. "I waited for years. Years. And I really want to do it. I have all these visions in my head, and unfortunately I don't know, you know how Hollywood goes, right? I spent many, many years on it. It was an unfortunate thing."Yen didn't provide any other specifics on what happened to the Sleeping Dogs movie, but it's not uncommon for Hollywood films to fall apart or trudge through the so-called development hell and never see the light of day for any number of reasons.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Critical Role is skipping this weeks episode of Campaign 3, as the fires in Los Angeles have directly impacted the cast, crew, and community of the Dungeons and Dragons actual play stream. Though Critical Role hopes to get back to the show on January 16, players should be patient in case the situation demands the conclusion to the Dungeons and Dragons story to be delayed further.

While the rest of us wait for Elden Ring Nightreign to come out, YouTuber chickensandwich420 has pledged to spend every day until then fighting one of the hardest bosses without taking a single hit.A few days after FromSoftware announced the multiplayer spin-off at The Game Awards in December, chickensandwich420 set their sights on Messmer, a brutal snake-man introduced in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Its already one of the harder fights in an especially hard expansion, but chickensandwich420 committed to taking him down flawlessly. Not only are they doing it on new game plus seven (read: nightmare difficulty), theyre doing it with a different weapon every day.The catch is that FromSoft didnt give Nightreign a release date more specific than 2025, which means chickensandwich420 might be doing this for a while. But were also talking about the same person who spent 117 days dueling a boss in the original game until the expansion was released. They know what they signed up for.Theyre currently on day 25 and taking suggestions for what weapon to use in the comments. On day 10 last month, someone made them do the fight with a sword that is supposed to suck until you solve a puzzle with it. That video is a solid minute longer than the rest as chickensandwich420 chips away Messmers health with what is essentially a rock. It could be worse: Eventually, someone is going to suggest fighting him with a bouquet.Chickensandwich420 said in their day 1 video that if Nightreign isnt out by June, they will swap to other FromSoft games. Messmer is tough, but there are certainly worse bosses out there, and I dont expect chickensandwich420 to make the challenge any easier. History has taught us that FromSoft challenge runners dont give up and definitely dont lower the stakes.
