I was once shopping around Walmart, and an employee followed me around a few aisles with some product. I tried to be funny and asked if she was stalking me.

She replied with: "Just these papertowels."

Well played

Basically it's a group of voice actors(Resident Evil, The Last of Us, Fullmetal Alchemist, Overwatch, Naruto) that play dungeons and dragons on live stream almost every Thursday night on Twitch. The first season of Legend of Vox Machina is based mostly on the Briarwood Arc which I think starts at episode 25 of their live stream. It's pretty much a reinterpretation of this arc into animation form. They did a kickstarter like 4 or 5 years ago to get two seasons made. The cast of Critical Role actually voice their characters in the show as well.

It's great if you're a Critical Role fan.

It's good if you're a Dungeons and Dragons fan and never seen Critical Role.

It's alright if you're into fantasy but don't even know what D&D is.

The show has some issues, but I wasn't fretting too much about it. Then I watched the latest episode... ouch... I just can't get over the way they did the trolls. WTF were they thinking? The show either takes itself too seriously in most parts, then it has crap like this.

The manga it's based on had them looking a bit different. They looked more round, and looked more like giant rounded starfish that shot spikes out of their legs. No face/mouth/eyes or anything. The ending, was VERY different.

Might be easier to develop technology to move a body of that size, and just make the whole thing leave Saturn's orbit with a collision course for Mars.

Because so far, we're the only example we have. Could intelligent life exist elsewhere in the universe that didn't have all that we had? Sure. Entirely possible, but not super probable based on what we know/understand.

It's been pretty stable these last 64 million years. Otherwise we wouldn't be here. No catastrophic solar flares/storms, no additional asteroids/comets, relatively quiet volcanic activity... Really all we've had to deal with since the dinos are the cyclic ice ages.

Honestly, the scariest thing to me when it comes to intelligent life in space, is an intelligent hive mind.

I'm with you 100% on that. There's DEFINITELY life out there. It's just 99% or more are microorganisms, single celled dudes and their slightly more complex buddies.

Scientific facts, physics, and laws don't really change if you're a different planet... That stuff's constant, bro.

I firmly believe that complex intelligent life is INSANELY rare in the universe. Rarer than what the experts calculated. There are simply way too many factors that have to be exactly right to get to the point where we are. Other planets would need a somewhat similar set of events and requirements.

Goldilocks Zone, The right amount of iron/nickle in the core for a really strong magnetosphere, a stupid amount of water, plate tectonics to recycle the crust and prevent stagnation, a strong tide - which requires a large moon - (may or may not require a planetary collision), at least a few mass extinctions, and most importantly, millions of years of stability.

It's a tall order, and intelligent complex life on other planets may not require all of these, but they would definitely require the majority of these things.

We are a rarity, we should be treating our planet and each other much better than what we are.
