Weirdly enough, the Space Force will have a real job: monitoring and protecting satellite security. It’s something that was already being done in some fashion by existing branches of the military, and the optics of the “Space Force” branding are really silly, but it is an actually legitimate defense task.

They frequently are done by the same person as whoever is doing the book. Guest artists are often brought in to do *alternate* covers for the limited variations of individual issues.

I think what we’re likely to see is all three individual games released to the eShop at a price totaling a bit more than what the 35th anniversary collection costs.

My familiarity with Codemasters comes from an unauthorized game for the NES:

You didn’t have to play the multiplayer to get the best game endings. It was one of several options.

If a considerable portion of their compensation packages are being paid via shares, then they probably aren’t earning anywhere near what they used to.

To be honest, you’re missing out. There’s some absolutely fantastic alt-history works with considerable depth. “The Years of Rice and Salt” and “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell” are two that immediately come to mind.

Well, plenty of people seem to forget that the version of the flag that’s so popular now wasn’t even flown for that long during the Civil War. Instead, the “Confederate Flag” became popular when the KKK adopted it and rose to power.

Wasn’t this a scenario where Snyder couldn’t actually finish the film on schedule because of a family tragedy or something?

I think the important thing with the chairs is to recognize the custom where you live. If calling dibs on a public parking space has become universal there, then sure, why not?

This is also a good example of Simpson’s paradox, in which differently sized populations can make questions like “Which cultural or ethnic group is most likely to be kidnapped or murdered?” much more complicated than they seem at first glance.

I don’t have a problem with fictional extrapolation of events and relationships that would have played out away from the camera’s eye. Where I’ve been a bit frustrated with the show is when it runs counter to well-documented fact.

He just keeps making new accounts, is my understanding.

To be fair, royalties for your work is the standard for primary creators in TV and film, and Chapelle signed something below that standard.

I’m not sure the arc of the prequels was the real problem with them. The overall structure of Palpatine’s rise and fall actually works rather well.

I’m not sure he’s the force user, but the doctor referred to a “volunteer” whose blood samples were used in addition to the child’s. I think they have a force-sensitive person in their employ. I don’t think it’s Gideon simply because of how the message is constructed and refers to the volunteer in the third person.

Why were you using your fingers on X and Y on the Gamecube? They’re designed so that your right thumb can easily slide to them from the center A position.

I’m fairly certain the stick positions are intended for symmetry and brand-recognition at this stage rather than a serious design with ergonomics in mind.

Not if you turn on a channel for a month, watch the season you want in its entirety, then unsubscribe.
