He’s a conspiracy nut and believes in quack medicine.
A sentence like that sounds like something my mom would say when talking about some semi-common chronic condition passed down onto humanity from some ancient long gone super advanced culture that only crystals and collodial silver can heal that “mainstream medicine” refuses to accept due to… Dogma… Or big pharma… Or some combination of those two.
Behold ty he Life equation. And by extention also the Fermi paradox.
I have yet to see another manufacturer adopt the Steam Deck format. I mean, sure, it’s great and all that there are options with more powerful hardware out there, but I find the lack of trackpads or asymmetrical analogue sticks an instant turn-off.
Qnd then there is price. Price is also a rather big factor.
Between 2001 and 2003 Bionicle cannisters did indeed come with CD-ROMS inside. They were used to convey various lore details about Bionicle. Very cool.
That eventually stopped when Bionicle.com became more expanded than just a front-page advert. That year’s lore details, and animations, from 2004 and onward were viewable on the website.
If you really want a nostalgia hit, got to The Biomedia Project; they have archived all the Bionicle related things, including stuff that was thought to be lost media for a while.
I have a feeling this has been the one common response to every No Man’s Sky update since launch.
That’s assuming I could even force my way through any VN to get to an ending.
I’m not a masochist.
That’s a load of crap. Visual novels are such an incredibly low bar on literally every front, if you made a comic or a novel that’s worse than a VN you’d have been actually trying to out-shit VNs.
I despise visual novels.
They lack the good writing of a proper novel.
They lack the art work a comic can provide.
They aren’t games, but are for some reason sold as one.
They a sub-par mix of things other mediums do significantly better.
Yeah this is also what stopped me from playing Porria. I basically have the same questions as you.
Deepseek thinks it’s part of a Death Note episode.
Yes, but there were definitely parts of history where we looked towards the future and wanted to make something awesome. Where we were hopeful.
Today it seems we already know we’re on a completely fucked trajectory. That time is running out, but the people who care don’t have the power, and the people with power think nothing can touch them.
Hello and welcome to stop taking things literally class.
Here, please take a seat.
Hmm… Well… Let’s see about all the things I can do:
All of this and I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of technology. So in consideration of the skill that exists with tech, the the 10-scale being used, I’d say my skill in tech is:
2 out of 10.
Voyager’s warp core? Nah, that’s not my favourite at all. My favourite warp core is from the Enterprise E.
… Wait…
Hypothetically, what would be the advantages of “correcting” this evolutionary mistake in humans?
Yes. Mister President. A very impressive collection. Oh, that’s your favourite one. Yes, very nice, Mister President. Oh would you look at the time; we should be back to negotiations now.
Inward sighing/cringing/screaming.
This guy is just so fucking cringe I’m getting third-hand embarrassment through my phone.
Not really. And this isn’t something “Disney canon” either, as this was established well before Disney, when Lucas still had creative control:
The Jedi, in their archives, keep a list of force-sensitive children. The extra-powerful ones, ones that can already manipulate the force at an infant stage, are kept on a well guarded holochron in the deepest part of their archives.
Jedi observe these infants. They visit the family’s of these infants. The parents are told there will be a day that they’ll come for their kids. Then, when they’re old enough (but not too old) the kids get taken away from their parents and start training at the nearest temple (or the main one).
I haven’t heard of Jedi forcibly taking children away, but Jedi can be very… convincing, so “on paper” these kids are there by choice. These stories were explored in The Clone Wars. One of the earlier seasons. Though it didn’t go into specifics.
