Abusive Father: Ailnok Jablokov?
Does it treat the AI question with some level of the scientific reality of it, or is the AI more on the magical/fantastical side of things?

Missed Opportunity
And yet the interviewer never asked what Watterson did with his planned next project. If he asked that question it would let a lot of the obsessives off the hook and let the guy live his life in peace.

Combat, best
Best… combat?

When they say recall, they mean it could potentially fry your intestines
So, the dairy shake is said to be contaminated, specifically with salmonella, and in the first video we see Sr. Chang drinking the shake…

Obsequious:
I think the dynamics of conversation could be more involved without resorting to new technology. They already have timing based options for bashing someone's skull in or healing them at the last second, expand on that, and have some sort of attitude system going in, like Starflight did.

Wow, and I just watched Glengarry Glen Ross for the first time last week!

West Must Stand Together
If you start saying pop again, Jim, so will I.

Ablet
Crap, I missed the memo. I was totally not even aware of the thing— until like a minute ago.

Whitie
It's good to know the descendants of slave holders have such a large population, and that they kept all those other types of folks out!

Pbbt.
Here's h0ping we see just how many Next Generation eps really were straight rip-offs of TOS episodes.

Barf in HD
Except that orgies could easily have been people stuffing themselves full of food and then trotting off for a quick puke in the vomitorium. We only associate it with sex because we're, yep, prurient.

Writer Juice Is Murder
I've heard the screams of the screenwriter(s), watching their scripts being burned…

Psychological Condition Awareness (Never Mind that It's Just a Gimmick)
Do they ever go into how this condition isn't real according to most psychologists? That it's a coping mechanism that's reflected directly in trying to please a therapist and making sense of mood swings? They're never distinct personalities

No More FF Heroes
I'm still trying to figure out why people aren't bored to death with Final Fantasy's AESTHETIC, which is an arrogant, aloof hero colliding with a rag bin.

Free Psychic Reading, Play Now!
I don't ENJOY running them down, although letting off steam sometimes has me being more aggressive. I do, however, become USED to the occasional vehicular homicide. It becomes part of the world I'm visiting, alongside with reliably finding sawn-off shotguns on the roof of the local

Very Nifflas Feeling from This
To me it looks like it borrows a lot from the Knytt Stories formula, with a lot of saves, instant death, exploration, changes in abilities over time.

Welcome Back
Good to see you back writing these.

No personal calls!
Potentially cute as long as Silverman doesn't play up the doesn't-know-nuthin'-about-no-secret-agent-stuff angle too much, and the agent thing doesn't actually have much to do with it.

Sorry, but I've yet to meet a real hippie. Stop with that cheap shorthand.
I'm happy if mystics want to use science as a sort of nesting ground for philosophy and metaphysics, but don't forget that's what this really is. It takes science on a surface level and uses it as a basis for a magical philosophy. So, if

NeoPuritan? Doesn't have the same ring to it than other neos do.
I keep forgetting what the enlightened viewpoint should be. Free to be titilated by whatever you feel like, or made to feel guilty by those who have a pretty good hold on what should be the new puritanical norm.
