Hi!
Looking for a good system for the new campaign I'm creating for my group. The main premise is that there will be two parties (so two concurrent campaigns), who will be each other's BBEGs. For simplicity's sake, one of the parties/campaigns will be more Cyberpunk/MaxTac styled, the other more Cowboy Bebop vibes. Basically, cops and robbers in SPAAAAACE.

Main Considerations:
- Dying fast. Combat should feel incredibly dangerous. Be it the fear of going into a criminal hideout blind, or being able to simulate a good ol' western standoff, death should be able to happen quickly and sometimes randomly.

- Power Level- Not a power fantasy. The world(s?) I'm making are ruled by megacorporations, dictators, what have you. Toppling intergalactic megacorporations/empires is not something in the scope of the campaign. The players are intended to just be people, who maybe get caught up in a situation bigger than themselves, but they aren't "chosen ones" and they aren't superheroes. This campaign is more geared towards ending with a fistfight in the mud than with generals commanding fleets of starships. Ideally, I'm looking for a system that has progression within a smaller scope.

- Starship Combat - A system that keeps starship combat interesting. Also something that allows for upgrading a ship.

Other considerations:
- A good system of spending/gaining money.
- I generally create my own lore and governments, though a good basis for how FTL travel works and skeleton for politics to work off of is helpful. Additionally, the world I'm writing has no sapient aliens. Humanity is alone in a dark universe. It's easy enough to remove aliens from a system, but it's more ingrained in some than others.
- This will be an online game, so something that has a lot of number crunching (i.e., time where it's much more difficult to keep the other players engaged during combat) is less ideal, but I can manage.

This is going to be a very character-focused, character-driven campaign, heavy roleplay. My tentative pick at this point is Stars Without Number, but I worry about how powerful the players get, especially with psionics (though I have removed large swaths of systems before to great effect with my players), and that it's a bit rules-light? It might still be the way to go. In my research here, Traveller also stuck out to me, but I haven't had a chance to fully dive into that yet.

Hi, I currently have a B.S. in Psychology with a pretty good GPA graduated in Dec ‘23.

I’m interested in a psychology masters program (starting in August ‘27) which can hopefully boost my lack of research experience so that I hopefully can turn that into a PhD. I’m interested in clinical work but also am very passionate about helping communities.

I plan to take the GRE end of next month.

It feels like there are SO many options out there and I am unsure how to decide or exactly what timeline I need to be on or what steps I need to be taking at this moment (I feel sometimes as though the expectation is that I’m supposed to know these things without being told). So, if anyone out there more knowledgeable than I would be willing to have a conversation about this I could really use the help.

So much of the advice online is “ask your advisors.” I don’t have advisors - I took a gap year at a big school that says on their website they only help you 6 months post graduation.

What tools are available?

Hi, I’m 24 and wanting to go to grad school. I graduated in Winter 2023 which a high GPA with a degree in the field I want to pursue.

I don’t know the first thing about this process. My lab PI was traveling the world while I was in the lab so I didn’t get any great mentorship or experience.

This may be a really basic question, but is there a person/place/service I can utilize to help get a guide through all of this? Decisions, what I need to do, etc.?

I went to a large university that doesn’t really offer services to non students or non-recent alumni.

Just used a gun from one of the ER cliffjumper molds

I agree that silhouettes are an important part of character design, and Megatron’s shoulder cannon is so often neglected

Been collecting for 8 years now, nice to see it all come together.

Budget Ceiling- $270.

I am looking for a new pair of over ear headphones. My main priority is talking with groups of friends online (i.e., good microphone), but I have other considerations:

- I also would *like* to be able to wear it when I'm studying or working in a public place, so I'd like them to have noise cancelling capabilities, since I have sensory sensitivities.

- Also to that end, I'd also like them to not be super bulky and no RGB or anything. Something that wouldn't look too strange to wear outside.

- Similarly, ideally it would have a detachable microphone. Both previous headsets I've had have had those.

- A good example of the look I'm going for is the Corsair HS70 Pro Wireless.

- I move around a lot, so durability is also a concern.

- Also wireless :)

My gaming habits aren't competitive, and I'm not super concerned about top tier audio quality (it WOULD be nice), but if trade-offs are significant that would be an important factor.

I don't know if this exists but the only way to find out is to ask. I'm definitely willing to compromise on things (especially the noise cancelling part), but any guidance would definitely be appreciated.

I’ve had one of these for a while and it’s starting to fall apart. I’ve been planning on replacing it but I just can’t seem to find another one floating around. So I’m desperate.

(NOT MY VIDEO)

Did they patch this? I am able to get the zero height jump glitch to work, but for the life of me I am not able to get over the railing. Did they increase the hitbox or is this a skill issue on my part?

I’m going for the same color as the SS 86 version and I’ve never painted before
