The Chicxulub impactor was 10km (~6.2ml) in diamater you dumb fuck.
And an object that is moving through the vacuum space without any sort of independent propulsion to change velocity or vector will crash into whatever happens to come directly in its path. Star destoryers in Star Wars are vessels that have engines and can change direction. Also, it's sci-fi and not real life.
Lightsabers don't exist, but the tech in them, with some wonk, makes some degree of sense from a scientific perspective; basically, it's a closed plasma loop. What we see as a blade is really a really long, really thin oval, with the beam arcing back into the feed using magnetic fields and similar technological chicanery that's not existent now, but theoretically could be some day.
I bring this up because even on its most retarded day it makes more sense than the tech behind the bayonet on the fucking Needler in Revolution 60.
Always found his "I dated a woman so I'm bisexual" spiel pretty laughable, he just rolls it out to win privilege squabbles and ignores the fact he likely dated one when he was a man.
I mean no one needs to be convinced Wu is attracted to women (his whole life, identity and career is built around putting femininity on a pedestal), the only puzzle that seems to be missing is if she is attracted to Frank or men at all beyond their white male fat pay cheques.
Believe it or not Wu's actually right about the length.
There was more than one star destroyer that crashed onto Jakku. The star destroyer ruins that Rey and Finn flew the millennium falcon through during their escape was an Executor-class star destroyer, which is several times larger than a Imperial-class star destroyer Imperial vs Executor class:
How many planets can you visit in No Man's Sky Wu? 18 quintillion Wu, how long do you think it would take a team of artists to design that many planets?
When you read her tweets and they start with "FACT: blah blah blah..." or "FALSE: blah blah blah...", you just know she actually speaks like Dwight from The Office irl and not in some kind of humorous way. Probably why she has no irl friends, they'd just get so annoyed with someone speaking that way.
just caught his twitter feed, I cant work out if hes baiting anyone now potter/star wars etc to generate some abuse to hide behind or is so desperate to stay relevant in pop culture...

Wu's still an idiot because the meteor that allegedly killed the dinosaurs was travelling through space and collided with Earth at speeds of at least 25,000 miles per hour and more much likely much much faster. Anything falling from a planet's orbit from a stationary position would not be travelling anywhere near that speed.
A big boom, sure but not cataclysmic.

its widely believed that the extinction event , completely shifted the eco system with many parts of earth covered in a nuclear winter of darkness or dusk light, so any large dinosaurs /pterosaurs and marine reptiles died off gradually after the impact etc etc
the star wars ship is still mostly intact which indicates a slow decent or at least controlled, it certainly wasnt hurtling through space.
TLDR shut up wu some of us actually finished our education...you know nothing wu snow

Did anyone seriously expect the person whose game contains scrotum-hair and Klingon dildos as spaceships to know the first thing about good science fiction?
The introduction by the moderator was ridiculous. As a journalist shouldn't she at least do some online research? The potted bio was so false I am compelled to transcribe it for the record.
EDIT:
Joanna Stern (Technology Journalist at WSJ):
"...And I first want to introduce Brianna though she doesn't need much introduction. She is a game developer with tons of experience developing apps for many different mobile platforms even Palm--maybe she's gonna write a new ComPilot game here. Um, but she isn't just a tech wiz she's a founder and entrepreneur of her own game development company GiantSpaceKat. She also hosts an awesome podcast called Rocket and everyone should listen to it, not right now but afterwards."
Joanna, would it kill you to just do a Google search?
Call me Tweet Naive but I can't honestly find the thoughtcrime in this.
If Twitter's policy is those are two different people, it'd be like posting an image of two celebrities with the "separated at birth?" tag. Or heck, the guy on the left isn't a celebrity so really, "celebrity looks like someone else who isn't famous"? A certain widemouthed actor who is going to play a certain Shinigami springs to mind, offtopic.
Anyway. If Twitter's policy is "top sekrit those are the same people" well... congrats on violently policing a way old secret that's common knowledge? Does Twitter have a policy about censoring people who posts things Twitter itself knows are factual? "Yeah, *we* know she used to be him, but you're not allowed to say it because it isn't.. verified, by... us and/or her, yeah". Wait until Lance Corporal Gamergate hires a lawyer and finds out *who* at Twitter knew *who* Brianna was and when, and cross references that against when accounts got censored, and at whose jurisdiction. "Don't worry investors, it probably ties in with unexpected profits. Policing social justice and maintaining high click-throughs are maybe the exact same thing?".
Normally I'd punt this ball far into the "Twitter pays the grounds maintenance fee, they get to be referee" private enterprise realm but they made so much handwringing about banning Milo: "Hey, there's a shitposter who's made our enterprise misery for years who we can probably get rid of - who wants to act like it's difficult and well-reasoned act for sending him to the Gulag?". The reality is like every other media organisation they want the clicks and retweets, and no one's business plan is making their network smaller. "The SJW's will continue to click, but they'll click *harder*, Sir".
Either be the tyrannical shitlord who says anyone who wears Crocs can't use your pool or admit you're a populist tool who's just trying to make the most (right type of) friends at that moment in time. If you think Twitter has become the playground for the above and you want to put an end to it, the answer isn't signal boosting its networks via using it to criticise, it's going cold turkey and cutting it out. The droves quitting MySpace didn't post "ok guys im out" posts on it, they walked away from their accounts and started Facebooking, leaving MySpace to wither and die on the vine. Though.. not on the Vine, that 6 second death was something else.
If it's genuinely difficult to go cold turkey, make a policy of not shit posting. You can still enjoy the stuff you like it itself ("hey buddy, glad to see you got a Meowth outside your apartment"), but you're not wasting your time and boosting Twitter's numbers by attempting to extract enjoyment out of trying to make a (probably random) Twitter user feel useless. If you think Twitter is a great thing because you're served a constant sushi train of assholes who say stupid shit without realising they're about to get their shit kicked in, congratulations, that's exactly how Dobson feels when he doesn't see a sad woman Tweeting. You're almost a Dobson, focus on that. You're that close to becoming a Dobson. Yeah.
I'm sorry, that's the meanest thing I've said in a while, but I know you deserve better. <3
The whole Del Harvey thing is weird and I'm shocked she found such a high profile job. Her "career" consisted of pretending to be a child on the internet while having sexual conversations with adults. When that went viral her and her buddies cashed in on a shady non-profit that was run by a real sketchy guy.
Then again maybe the decision to hire her was made by the same people who are turning all these crazy profits.
You know if Frank shaved and cut his hippie hair and put on a suit or something hed be pretty handsome and could have gotten a nice lady as his wife. But he didnt want a nice lady. He wanted someone he could control.
Totally agree and that is exactly one of the reasons I love to hate Brianna so much, just the sheer narcissism and arrogance she puts on display each and every day. I would love nothing more to see her rage at being put down a peg or two. Or three.
Sometimes I try to get into her head and understand why she acts the way she acts, and I often fall into the trap of assuming she's at least somewhat rational and follows a normal train of thought, however skewed that may be. She is highly insecure, that much is obvious, but I think the huge difference between her and other insecure arrogant people who lie is that she's been lying to herself and everyone else for so long, she has completely succumbed to her lies and fully believes them without any doubt.
Thats also why if she perceives something as even slightly being an attack on her character she reacts so viciously. In a lot of ways she's defending her life. Her lies are a shield and if a crack develops the whole thing might crumble.
One of the self described "gameplay designers" for Mass Effect Andromeda is Manveer Heir. An unapologetic racist (I can't find the quote, but i recall him saying once that he enjoyed "using his brown skin to make white people uncomfortable right after 9/11") who seems to be constantly spewing SJW rhetoric. He recently attacked the developers of Deus Ex over twitter because he didn't agree with their marketing. Of course Brianna is going to be all about Bioware.
On a side note, while I've generally enjoyed the ME franchise and I can usually separate the artist's views from the final product, this idiot's sperging has been enough to ensure that if I bother to play ME:A at all it will be pirated...and this is from a steam addict.
Too bad the new Star Trek series is episodic like American Horror Story. That means theres gonna be a old white male being the focus of the story starting with season 2.
"...from sexualized ads for Konami titles, to posters in Nintendo Power encouraging boys to be Captain Commando..."
uh....wut? The only sexualized ad I can think of from the early NES era was the Double dragon 2: the Revenge magazine insert, and there was never a poster of Captain Commando in Nintendo Power, nor one "encouraging boys to be" as such. Captain Commando was an early Capcom mascot who wasn't actually IN any games, just in the back of the paper manuals, so he didn't get a poster in the early NES days of Nintendo Power.....and when the Captain Commando arcade beat-em-up was ported to SNES.....there was nothing in the magazine "encouraging" boys to do anything related.
I mean, I guess I shouldn't be shocked at this point....but she's just lying.
Like, just makin' shit up.
EDIT:
"But the money we saved gave us the startup funds we needed to create something amazing: Giant Spacekat, my development studio, creators of Revolution 60 and Cupcake Crisis."
....I like how Wu speaks as though Cuckcake Crisis is a done deal, rather than a never-will-be.
The entire thing was long term ruse cruise set up by Mombot and a guy who she helped prove his 'anti-gg" bonafides by him giving her shit and her making it look good, allowing him to weasel his way into the private clubhouse of the idiots she rused with plans to dox her (her buddy provided the enticement to the sting), and she played along, even yanking down her Twitter and Facebook long enough for the idiots to smugly gloat until she popped back up this morning and revealed it was a ruse with proof of their bullshit.
The point was that many of the assholes involved in the doxing were hypocrites who called doxing evil for the longest time, but were recently revealed to be the same kind of scum they hate.
