Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet, what is your favorite game?
  • Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. It's the only game in the Carrier Command-like subgenre of RTS that isn't part of the Carrier Command series. Shockingly well written, too, for what it is.

  • Oh maybe
  • The new EU is actually better about this than the old EU. By the time A New Hope starts, there are just four surviving members of the Jedi Order; Yoda, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Ezra. Ahsoka is thought to be dead and went to ground even better than Yoda and Obi after Malachor, and Ezra is in another galaxy. Ahsoka also isn't a Jedi anymore and is developing a distinct philosophy.

    They're also banking on having been wrong about the Chosen One, believing it's one of the twins instead of Anakin. That they misinterpretted the prophecy completely is, of course, out of the question.

  • Get your shit straight
  • Yoda actually did have contact with both Kanan and Ezra a few times. It's quite possible that he sensed Kanan's death and was aware Ezra was out of the galaxy.

  • Lemmings living in red states, how’re you doing?
  • Aside from the Wisconsin part, that describes most cities.

  • What was around or ended more recently than people think?
  • Which claimants are you thinking of? I know the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire both claimed to be continuations of the Roman Empire. I don't think Italy ever claimed to be the new Rome, somewhat ironically, and I think Germany and France had stopped claiming to be Rome as well.

  • What was around or ended more recently than people think?
  • At the point the western half of the Roman Empire collapsed they were using a system with two emperors due to the massive amount of territory being impractical for one man to govern, senate or no. Only one of the imperial titles imploded, with the other going along just fine for centuries before that part of the empire also started to collapse.

  • What was around or ended more recently than people think?
  • It helps to remember that Cleopatra was both from a completely different incarnation of Egypt and that she was the last independent pharaoh before Egypt became a Roman province.

  • [Meme] Which movie was this for you?
  • Season one had some problems trying to find its place, but that's also pretty common for a lot of shows. Season three had serious pacing issues due to the writers' strike. I'd be interested in seeing what season 2 criticism is like.

  • [Meme] Which movie was this for you?
  • I still can't decide if it's a brilliant retelling of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest or schlocky trash, but it sure is fun.

  • Trump's eligibility
  • So you can't weaponize the courts against your political opponents.

  • Trump's eligibility
  • Dude, this isn't really a hypothetical. We've already seen this exact tactic get used in places like Russia. You just bring bullshit charges against whoever opposes you. The veracity of the charges is completely irrelevant.

  • "Windows Intelligence": Microsoft may drop Copilot in major AI rebranding
  • NT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.

  • Trump doesn't rule out banning vaccines if he becomes president: 'I'll make a decision'
  • Dude, a massive chunk of this website is in favor of complete legalization. While I am also assuming their position on drugs, given where we're at, my assumption is much more likely to be correct.

  • Drop your most "wtf that's not how the world works" from movies/tv shows.
  • Gwen Stacey died of whiplash when Spidey tried to catch her with a web shot and she stopped too fast, snapping her neck.

  • Nexus Mods says folks "should be pressuring" paid mod platforms to "do better" if they're frustrated by its new policy on the ever-controversial topic
  • You also need to verify that the modder isn't stealing another modder's work, which can be challenging.

  • Terry Farrell shares a DS9 memory
  • VOY was probably the one with the most pew-pew per season and it was the most watched series on Netflix, back before Paramount+.

  • Sovcit put the office on notice at 1000 dollars a day.
  • They use the moonshine to kill off their customers' brain cells until they're open to buying their sovcit stuff.

  • Startrek.website defederated from hexbear
  • I wouldn't say startrek.website is a major instance anymore. A lot of their usebase migrated to .world's Ten Forward community.

  • Every place gotta have the cuck booth
  • I don't think it's for wheelchairs. If it was, the corner of the table wouldn't be cut off. I mean, where would that person put their food? I think it's probably to get more room to maneuver between tables.

  • Akira Inspired Poster, Revised Again

    After having printed the previous version of my poster and discovering that the overall darkness made it difficult to see when framed (light reflects off the glass or plastic and the glare kills it) I have done a bunch of post processing in the hopes that it will turn out better.
