So the timelines are aligned now, probably. Christina is an open question, but given that “Olympiad Entertainment” is where Christina works and is also where Charlotte has been testing Caleb for fidelity it seems like that her storyline actually is in parallel with Bernard, Frankie, Charlotte and Host Caleb.

The fact that they fired their CFO, and didn’t even sugar coat it by saying that they ‘agreed to part ways’ or something should be the biggest red flag to anyone about this whole thing.

Yeah, it’s been several days or weeks between the real-time call and the introduction of the time lag. They were in more or less real-time range when Operation Jolly Roger initiated (presumably shortly after all the ships had finished their injection burns).

It seems to me that “Christina” is in a virtual world running in the Hoover Dam datacenter, and that this is also where the Hosts and possibly a chunk of Guest data were sent at the end of Season 2. (William says it was 8 years ago that what he wants there was stolen from him). Christina is a piece of Dolores that was…

Honestly, one of the things that’s kind of bugging me is that I don’t feel like they’re portraying pop culture as having diverged enough at this point. Having a permanent lunar base and space tourism by the late-80s and early-90s would radically alter the science fiction landscape, but Star Trek and the Alien movies…

A thing that I realized recently is that the people who are really pushing this are investors, and for them ‘making more money’ IS a leisure activity, and they can’t fathom that for a lot of people who work 40-60 hours a week to make their rent and expenses need to draw a hard line between ‘work’ and ‘leisure’ or else…

Break it down further and assume ~5 shows a day per screen, and it’s three tickets per show (maybe a couple more for matinees). Sony just burned a lot of theater companies because they thought they could ride the memes to success.

The scene takes place in Hawkins Lab before El escaped in the series premiere.

Has this ever been tested in court?

Ah, but under the terms of the “smart contract” that the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs use, whoever holds the NFT actually does have the IP rights for that particular Bored Ape! The means by which it got into any particular wallet are immaterial. “Code Is Law” working exactly as designed.

I legit ‘fuck yeah’ed when Kai’s gauntlet grabbed the ledge after the crash. Kai is awesome. Don’t much care for the other two, but if anything happens to Kai in the future I’ll be mad.

They haven’t owned the Hitman IP for years. They let IO Interactive keep it when they split off.

Yeah, holy shit.

“The death rate has actually gone UP on average among the unvaccinated”

Citation missing and required.

COVID has become less deadly over time because a significant percentage of cases are in people who have been vaccinated.

It’s going to be endemic as a human virus, that attacks you mildly so you live and spread it as far as possible,

I haven’t installed the pack yet, but I’m fairly certain Epic didn’t include the Neo and Trinity characters as part of it. Likeness rights are a bitch.

At this point I almost feel like ‘modding’ is moot. Mod tools in a shipped Unreal Engine game are pretty much just going to be the Unreal Editor with all of the assets of that specific game. A simplified suite of ‘mod tools’ for a game would be something that would take a sub team of the game to develop, and why…

Ah, yes, the ‘nearly unlimited liquidity’ of a marketplace that only approximately 400,000 people are actively engaged with, and that crashes every time anybody cashes out for amounts more than a few thousand dollars at once.

Fixed that for you.
