I mean, you’re not wrong, but it almost feels like you have to keep the Kelvin timeline movies out of this - Star Trek belongs first on television and always has. Those were even explicitly an alternate timeline, so they’re not really the same characters.

It’s not so much that singing is new, you’re right that singing has happened on and off throughout the franchise since TOS, it’s more that the idea of a full on musical episode had not happened, an entire episode where the whole point was all of the characters singing (and not just to sing a song, but to advance their…

A lot of what it sounds like you don’t like is the complete separation between realtime movement and in-game interaction and turn-based combat - you’re walking around at whatever speed you like and suddenly a battle starts and now you’re beholden to a fake “real” time where you pick attacks. This is compared to games…

What would a truly real-time turn-based game look like if not the ATB (on Active mode rather than Wait mode)? Honest question, I’m just not sure how to better implement a system where you’re still picking actions from a list for your characters to perform that also has a real-time component.

Is the new “Following” feed chronological? Threads is a non-starter for me without that (though realistically I’m trying to have less, not more to do with Meta).

There are stupid and gullible people in every generation. Once people stop getting anything important through physical mail, scams like this will be harder to pull of, but people are already scammed all the time online.

That’s actually a common misconception - they just wanted a cool-sounding name that could be abbreviated “FF”. It was nearly “Fighting Fantasy”.

I think it’s also important to understand the difference between “overrated” and “bad”. I think FF7 is a very good game, it’s not in my top 5 of the series but it’s a very good game among very good games. I also think it’s overrated in how people tend to regard it. It was certainly technically groundbreaking and did a…

Responses from a Final Fantasy fan:

That’s not quite the same, since all buttons on a phone are intentionally designed to make the same unique sounds specifically for the purpose of “press 1 for xyz” prompts. And phones have, like, 12 different buttons, this thing was based on 3x the keys that were designed to sounds the same, but evidently don’t.

Will definitely be getting the Scarlet/Violet DLC, I loved the main game last year. But I’m only now nearing the end of Tears of the Kingdom, I don’t think I have it in me to go back into another open world yet.

Gotcha, thanks. I’ve never had a bad problem with mildew and I do mostly let my towels dry before tossing them in the hamper anyway, so I didn’t know that it sometimes took extra work.

Finally, don’t toss your towels in a hamper or basket while they’re still damp. Hang dry or wait until you’re ready to do laundry before piling them up.

 I didn’t know “Dickless” was a Polish name...

Sure, absolutely - I agree with you. I’m just saying that when one of the producers of the show attempts to defend a creative choice by saying “it was like this in the book”, it doesn’t hold much water with me (especially if it did not actually happen in the book). Stand by your creative choices and change things from…

Right, you’re creating a new thing, let it be new. Be creative with it. When you’re adapting The Witcher for television, make the changes that make it translate well to the new medium. Don’t kowtow to the irrational fans who are so stuck in the past that they demand all new things spoon feed them the exact same…

It just seems silly to defend a moment in the show by saying that it happened the same way in the books when (evidently, I haven’t read this one) it did not. Like, stand by your show and the creative choices you and your colleagues have made to either keep or to change what happened in the books, it’s an adaptation,…

I blame Christmas.

Haha yeah, they should have, like, auto-dimmer lights that do that intentionally.

Yeah, I got the same deal from my power company, I got rid of them when I was moving a couple years ago (I just intentionally left them in the garage of my old house to let the new owners deal with them since, in another downside of CFLs, you aren’t supposed to throw them away because of mercury).
