That is The King’s Hand, and you will show it respect! 😤
Yakuza/Like a Dragon sidequest.
And you may find yourself living in a starship bunk
And you may find yourself in another part of the galaxy
And you may find yourself behind the helm of a large delta flyer
And you may find yourself in a beautiful holodeck, with a beautiful holo-wife
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”
And the answer is pretty simple, it was the caretaker.
I love Lower Decks a lot. You can spot the exact moment the exec who was demanding “make one of them Rick and Morties with this old sci-fi shit we have” left the room and the writers all went “okay so we’re gonna do a very targeted Star Trek comedy now, yeah?”
The DS9 episode was wonderful.
Going off 20+ year old memories so I’ve probably got some stuff wrong, but basically there was an evil guy literally named Hacker (who in my head was voiced by Christopher Lloyd?) who was trying to infect the program lady who was in charge of everything with a virus. The actual episodes were basically just “uh oh Hacker is up to some bullshit, time to stop him in some way that will involve math.”
Smae. Some of it is probably learned from her goofball idiot caretaker, but I’m just gonna say one of us has lost a fight with the ceiling and it wasn’t me.
Edit: this made me realize I’ve never actually tried to fight the ceiling. Hold on gotta test, will report back.
Seems like the largest criticisms are that the Bloodborne inspiration is a little too obvious/heavy-handed and the usual discourse around soulsbonre difficulty, both of which can very much be positives depending on personal preference. Personally I’m very down for some spiritual successors since Sony hasn’t been doing anything with Bloodborne, and the difficulty was perfect for me in the demo (and I have to give them credit for putting out a comprehensive 2+ hour demo, that was a real breath of fresh air). Glad it seems like they pretty much hit the mark on what they were going for.
Capitalism defines success as profits increasing at an ever-increasing rate. During the height of the pandemic, tech companies tended to fare better than other industries because they were better able to handle the switch to remote work (among other things). This wasn’t lost on investors, who smelled money in the water, and went all in on tech. Like, seriously, colossal amounts of money, and they expect returns on those investments. Problem is, we’ve hit the point where the easy profit sources for these companies have more or less dried up, and now they’re having to squeeze whatever they can out. This is why we’ve seen massive layoffs, quick money making schemes, and things like this that will be disastrous in the long run, but stand to make some short-term profits.
It’s a boneheaded move, but when all you care about is pleasing the investors right now, it’s the logical way to operate.
Genuinely struggling to tell if the intended moral is: “women smart men dumb,” “twinks smart jocks dumb,” or “eat slowly or you’ll make yourself sick.”
Honestly the realization that capitalism is the root cause of our current systemic evils, and finding a good organization to fight back against it with did me a world of good mentally. Way better than agonizing over every tiny decision I made because I’d been tricked into thinking that climate change was my individual fault and responsibility to fix.
Peach guest staring in Mortal Kombat 3 was one of the most wild crossovers. The fatality with that chain chomp was gruesome.
I feel like rsync may genuinely be one of the best, most slept on tools out there. It even works over ssh.
SO. I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all is that I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the entire alpha quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.
Computer. Erase that entire personal log.
If I had to guess, I’d say it’s because he was drawn by Pen Kenders
Jon (ManyATrueNerd) has great playthroughs of most of the fallout series, including some wild challenge runs of 3/NV/4. He’s definitely more familiar with the more recent games, but it was fun to see him go back and figure out the older games.
Here’s his playthrough of 1: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwH1xJhcXG0f-9nIwaprNaP_p-HZyHkmg
