I hope the next Fire Emblem uses this. Of course, they didn’t use the Switch’s touch screen, so I’m not holding my breath.
TOTK makes me wish 3D TVs caught on.
Probably. If I were Vance, whether the Never Trump thing was genuine or I was just a power hungry asshole, I’d be positioning myself to look like the sane one in the administration so that I could remove Trump via the 25th in 2027 and be hailed as the guy who saved America from him. I’d also be egging Trump and Musk on to be as terrible as possible as publicly as possible.
Lactose intolerance should just cause indigestion, not bloody stool. Definitely check with your doctor.
Destroys the brand recognition by renaming it to a letter of the alphabet he personally likes but nobody else gives a crap about
I’m beginning to suspect he only likes that letter because it’s the middle part of a swastika.
It’s been a while since my instance was federated with either of them, but I remember grad being more extreme in their beliefs and hb being more… annoying. The hb folks did a ton of brigading and picking fights. Maybe they chilled out since then, but the .world threads were exhausting to read with hbs being assholes in every single one, including things that had absolutely nothing to do with politics.
Technically, Sirius is the dog in the story.
The ‘dead’ status is more properly ‘unconscious’ in Final Fantasy games, and is sometimes actually translated that way. FF5 even has a scene where they try using phoenix downs on a genuinely dead character and it doesn’t work.
The Paragon interrupt not being enough to save anyone if you side with Legion just makes it hurt more.
And for a huge portion of the show he was the only ally they had.
Ellie’s death is impressive because it works despite the viewer only having known her for ten minutes with no spoken words.
He wasn’t even supposed to be there.
Holography, the real kind, not the Star Wars kind, is probably the way forward. The display would be about as flat as current ones, but the image would appear three dimensional from any angle and wouldn’t require glasses. You could even lean side to side to change your perspective. I remember reading ages ago that a lab was working on it, but I think they had a frame rate of one every few minutes and it was monochrome and I haven’t heard anything since.
The dock/taskbar. Gnome’s default one being hidden in a menu was unpleasant. I did try the dash-to-dock and dash-to-panel extensions, but I preferred Ubuntu’s implementation.
I tried raw Gnome and hated it. Ubuntu’s changes made it actually usable. At the same time, I don’t really like all those DEs that just mimic XP.
Also, I can’t stand anything JJ Abram’s touches. I know a lot of people say that now post StarWars disaster, but I remember being very disappointed when I heard he was directing the first sequel and people were acting like I was crazy. I absolutely hate his “mystery box” story telling because I either never cared about “item A” or I know the payoff for discovering what “item A” actually is I’d going to be lame.
Part of the problem is that Abrams has no idea what’s in the box. Basically his entire career was writing the first act of a story with some mystery to solve, handing it off to someone else to finish, then, when they ask what’s in the box, he tells them, “I dunno, figure something out.”
Something to keep in mind when watching stuff that old is that we were still trying to figure out how acting for a camera was different than acting for a live audience. Star Wars was at the tail end of that, but skip back ten years to the original Star Trek and it’s really noticeable. A lot of the acting feels bad now, and a decent amount probably did then, but part of that is just what acting was at the time.
However, Lucas did know that his ability to write dialogue was pretty poor, even calling himself the king of wooden dialogue at one point, and was fine with actors coming up with better lines. Unfortunately, Lucas also wasn’t very good at communicating that and only a line or two in the entire series was adjusted by an actor.
I don’t know why everyone jumps to Dances With Wolves. It’s clearly Pocahontas.
Possibly to differentiate from the trans women, who were mentioned immediately prior?
