It’s from Jonathon Nolan and while many people will point to his work on Westworld, I point to his best work IMO; Person Of Interest (of which Micheal Emerson was obviously a main character).

You are very old and crotchety. I was 13 years old when I unwrapped a copy of Fallout on Christmas morning in 1997. I still enjoy the series.

I was already excited to see this, but then I saw Michael Emerson in the trailer and now I’m doubly excited.

Looks fantastic, and I’m hyped to check it out. That said, anything with Walton Goggins gets my view, that man is a fucking phenomenal actor and can do no wrong, him as a ghoul sheriff just sounds fucking awesome. 

I mean, you’ve gleaned a lot from from one trailer. You may be too old and crotchety to remember, but Power Armor’s always been front and centre, even back in Interplay’s days. Just have a look at the covers for Fallout 1 and 2

The Switch is a handheld. Almost EVERY handheld Nintendo produces sells Switch numbers, so it’s not an outlier or game changer. Nintendo has never pretended to put their handhelds in competition with home consoles and has never discussed their handhelds, or even the Switch, in those terms.

I feel like the PS3 had a rough start because people weren’t doing the math. I managed a Gamestop at the time and so many customers would comment on the huge price of the PS3. But in reality, the XB360 needed an extra accessory for the controller to be rechargeable, required a paid subscription for online use, and…

Literally in the first paragraph of the article:

Niemann is an admitted cheater dating back to earlier games. There’s no reason anyone should ever trust him.

“The Governor and the Florida Division of Emergency Management are taking timely precautions to ensure Florida’s communities, infrastructure and resources are prepared”

Nah, if it was going someplace interesting sure.. but to the moon? Any science it did was not going to be of any wild value (its all valuable, but to degrees). The world is better off with a weaker Russia, and a successful space program is not in the worlds best interest for Russia.  Best to keep them earth bound and…

The detour will add between an hour to two hours to trips over the Alps

Passenger trains will now take a “panorama” detour to use SBB’s words. The detour will add between an hour to two hours to trips over the Alps and require most passengers to switch trains to complete their journey. Hopefully, the scenic route isn’t the only route for too long in 2024.

Rural areas can have like, 1% of those speeds.

That’s too bad - the later seasons of both are some of my favourite Star Wars stuff for sure... at least check out some key highlights on YouTube or some such... at bare minimum:

the Ahsoka order 66 arc from Clone Wars season 7... Rebels 2x21-22 Twilight of the Apprentice... and the end of Rebels 4x13-16 which sets up…

I know animation isn’t for everyone, but Rebels was truly some of the best Star Wars content that’s ever been released to TV/film. Ahsoka, in particular, is one of my all time favorite characters. As a 40 year old hard core fan of the original trilogy and 90s era EU who has decidedly not been a fan of much of Disney’s…

It’s just a matter of time before some place on Earth gets wet bulb conditons for a significant period of time. 

To err is human,

Hard disagree. Cows are just like dogs but larger.  Big Floofers.

That makes me very sad.  More for the cows than for humans.  Humans suck.
