I always thought it was because of the lambda complex.  But this would actually make a lot more sense if the devs realized it.

Because the Lambda is on the suit silly. So now start looking for an in character explanation.

Clearly because they might not realize he's a physicist if there aren't calculus symbols on his hazard suit.

Wave calculations, and yes I know.

You could at least link back to wherever you're leeching the image from, Pathos.   I'm sure they'd appreciate the traffic.

Eh, I'm leeching from whoever they're leeching from.

If people cared that much, they'd right-click properties.

That image has been circulating for a long time now.

You'll never find the source.

Image leeching is still a dick move.   Since Pathos constantly rails against 'the games industry' for various reasons, like greed and laziness, I at least figured he should realize he himself is not above these.

You have an extra space between your two sentences. That's pathetic.

Oh, is this thread going completely off topic?  Ok.

I enjoy the consumption of fish.

The original topic was simply "I found an image on a website, I'd better post it somewhere fast!".

There's not that much room for discussion.
