Upvote for using POV correctly.

I could have sworn that “magic translation field within x miles of the gate” was actually mentioned at some point on screen…

Grabthar’s Hammer dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Platypi don’t!

The real reason Chekhov helped Khan.

I could never get through the 2nd ostrich riding sequence in the 2nd level as a kid. The rest of the game was fine, though, once I used the level select to skip ahead. Turns out, it was because my eyesight was shit and I couldn’t even see the correct obstacles on screen (I was trying to avoid the branches, but no it was pink hippos and bird nests the whole time, so my timing on the double jumps was always off). Replaying the game a couple years back when Disney re-released it alongside Aladdin, I found it still tricky, but doable.

Thank you for reminding me that this ad campaign existed. You’ve made my day.

LessWrong are a bunch of pretentious loons, so you’re not wrong.

AFAIK, William Shatner is mainly a self absorbed twat and kinda a pain to work with, which was why he was on the outs with the rest of the crew for decades, but I’ve never seen him regurgitating right wing talking points like Kevin Sorbo or Chuck Norris.

Wait, what?! This had been listed as release date TBA for so long on my wishlist that I’d wondered if it got quietly canned or something.

Something something mysterious ways

I just wanted Black Flag without all the land bits, is that too much to ask?

It’s leave, you idiot! Make like a tree and leave! You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

I mean, sure. That’s basically how always-online DRM for games works. But the fact is that you do still have the disc with data on it, so generally it’s just a matter of time before someone comes up with a way to bypass or spoof the DRM.

With the obvious caveat that IANAL, I think there’s a distinction to be made between the physical medium that an IP is distributed on, if any, and the IP itself. Like, when you buy a movie on DVD you obviously don’t own the IP. But strictly speaking, you don’t even own that particular copy of the movie as encoded on the disc you bought. But you do own the disc itself, which just happens to have a copy of the movie on it. So while a publisher can always pull their IPs, and make it illegal for people to distribute them, they can’t come and take the discs that you already legally own.

Gonna throw in a shout out to AC’s spritual precursor, Prince of Persia. Also can’t go wrong with Rayman or Rabbids.

Call it what it is, ethnic cleansing, you cowards.

Spend 50 years dismantling public education and you, too, can get the rubes to believe whatever the hell you want.

What we need to do is get rid of FPTP, because so long as that’s how the system works breaking away will only guarantee that the fascists win permanently.

What’s to explain? The Palestinian problem isn’t going to solve itself, y’know. So obviously, the IDF needs to provide a little final assistance.

I only wish this was a joke in exceptionally poor taste on my part, but Bibi flat out admitted that the goal was ethnic cleansing, so here we are…
