From the media I saw about the film it felt like art was the point not profits. Ford Coppola sold a lot of personal assets to fund the movie, so it felt like something he just wanted to do.

You would think they could add an induction charger and actually make it “magic”-ly charge.

You could have picked any other titan from that game, and you went with the one that looks like a mushroom… (I would have gone with the Tempest, because of Clear Skies)

Also we dont have defined dates for when the game takes place. We know its atleast ~15k years in the future, but anything beyond that is fuzzy at best.

They used to be contained, every village has their idiot. Now that the internet is the global village, all the formerly isolated idiots have a place to chat.

[Internet High-Five] Yah, tony’s is great.

And it gives you some degree of control over reposts and people stealing content. If your not on the platform you cant really contest claims against a video or post.

The meme has a fair point, but its not my gripe with the insurance industry. Im of the opinion that the managers for collective risk products should not be for-profit organizations.

In the US, if a hypothetical agency or one of those weird orgs like the postal service ran national insurance they would not be as profit driven and their proximity to other governennt bodies would push much needed regulations forward.

Good, that is a beautiful movie, that you will only watch once. More people need to see it.

Painting in broad strokes here as its been over a decade since D&D v4 and WoWs high-water mark, I think people call it that because of several factors, not all of them in the game design of v4.

• It was the begining of the trends that we see today in 5e where the stock classes were designed to fit the archtype, not the style. If you played something out of the base books, it just had to work and character progression was boiled down, you had to try to brick your character.
• This was also around the time when WoW was changing its mentality to “bring the player, not the class”. This still holds up today where they design content around the players being there, not what was there. Fewer class specific shortcuts or tricks, unique traits. No one single common ability is unique to a class. For example, need temporary invuln to eat one hit that causes max damage, bring a pally, mage, or hunters.
• The migration from 3.5 to 4 left a void in class/race variety as the prestige classes took a while to convert to the new system, many were lost. Like when Disney bought Starwars and threw all the extended universe content out. D&D 3.5 had an alarmingly high number of suplimental books.
• The increase in charts in v4 felt like they could have fit more in with a PC RPG, I do realize the irony in the success of Pathfinder 1 as it just took that “charts for days” concept and ran with it.

D&D v4 to me will always be the MMO version because it was a product of its time, and also WotC scrapped pretty quickly, relativly speaking.

It felt like they were trying to make an MMO be a table-top game at the time when WoW was at the height of its popularity (that WotLK nostalgia). Its not that it was overly bad, it was a square peg, round hole situation.

These days I feel like 5E has no teeth, very good intro but beyond the first few campaigns and the endless art books its mechanically uninteresting. Pathfinder 2e has been what most of my games have converted to.

Cat.

+1 for “The Good Place” bit

Dos the right and honorable Marsellus Wallace resemble a female canine?

Alpha Centauri is actually 13.6 feet from me, Ive got an old sid meyrs disk somehwere in the box of old tech stuff. Great game, used the same engine as Civ 2, think its on GOG these days.

My head-cannon from the lawyers going something like this.

“Thank you Mr. Musk for the lawsuit, we had a lot of fun reading it. Especially the parts you drew (I liked the blue dinosauar). Before we begin, we would like to let you know the legal fees for this case are coming directly from the portion of the advertising budget we allocated to the website formerly known as Twitter”

Probably more entertaining than the actual cases.

Its an old meme sir, but it checks out.

Dito, fixing interesting problems is fun. My main issue is that we have had a caroucel of bosses (4 in the last 4 years) and the current one gets a C-. Half the team does not trust them due to drama with the previous manager and the they keep trying to make it so the different team members specialize in different tasks (everyone used to be trained to do everything). I like the job and the company, but its one or two step removed from “Office Space” levels of corpo whohash.

There are plenty of nerds here on Lemmy to help, but some advice first.

• What is the system intended for? (Gaming, CAD, editing, programming, Facebook machine?) This isnt just so we can advise better, but also to get you to state what you need this tool for. Its a tool at the end of the day.

• Will it need to be moved? This is where your going to have to weigh the factors in your life, because if you need to move the device, a laptop may be a better, but the entire device is not moduler (usually, Framework laptops and a few other manufacturers like to do stuff like that).

• Lastly, care to share what you planned/built? There are plenty of nerds on Lemmy who would love discussing stuff like that. (Shameless plug, one of those nerds is me)
