Well, they were one of the best of the turds. I was kind of hoping they’d stick around and be a mitigating force on the AI market that at least taps the brakes on all the bullshit. Seems unlikely now.

Colors seem off…

… my dumb ass thought it meant roux. And I thought that would be uncomfortable to return. Not sure I’ve ever seen it spelled before looking it up just now.

IIRC, it wasn’t muggle shock, it’s just what wizards did up until plumbing was common. It does kind make one question why they would invest so much into fixing what they seemingly considered a solved issue though.

The fanfic Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is a fun foil to this aspect of the series. It absolutely is a bit pretentious and preachy at points, but the genuine exploration of what is possible in the established system was pretty fun imo.

IIRC Cap’s shield is actually proto-adamantium. They were never able to recreate the formula, and base adamantium is the closest they could get.

Someone else has broken down a lot of examples, but in the broader sense, around half of states, a little more than half IIRC, have an age of consent of 16. The reason 18 is so well known is that’s the age of consent where so much of our media is made, California.

IIRC, it doesn’t actually pay the game itself. We prod the cells, they fire in a certain way and that response is read to convert it to an output for the game. The cells aren’t a rudimentary Doom bot, they’re the controller.

No he doesn’t? He gets sidelined for a while, which he doesn’t fight because he’s dostracted. Never gets sued. The second movie starts with a hearing where the gov is trying to acquire his new weapons, but it’s not a lawsuit and has nothing to do with the company.

There is a common myth that they were in dire straights and named it such because if It failed it would end the company. The truth is, they wanted to name it Fighting Fantasy, but that was already taken. Wanting to keep the alliteration, they changed to Final Fantasy, without a significant meaning attached to the title.

Many games still use SBMM in casual modes, they just don’tshow you what your elo equivalent is. As long as they generally all play together, the average skill of the group will hit equilibrium far faster with the smurf account than with the original one. There’s really no good answer here, but in this case at least the friends get a play session where they can participate meaningfully, even if they get a lot of wins they don’t deserve, and the opponents get one bad game. The alternative is the friends are crushed almost every game they play together, and the opponents get one easy game.

Isn’t that where they were getting the instructions from?

I wish they’d post them more than once a year these days…

I mean, Pomemon generally pass the Harkness test. They are certainly intelligent enough, and communication is a little tricky, but general jist is simple, and some people can get some pretty complex information from their partners with enough time spent together. That’s before counting the fact that if they really want to, they can learn human language.

So is New York City, lol.

My first thought was to scan it to see if they at least got Boston in the NYC section. Only to realize NYC is not in NYC but is actually in Nomansland.

It is definitely possible to create that. The question is, will it ever be profitable, or cheap enough to be user made/controlled? I doubt it. Tech growth isn’t just limited by what’s possible, but also by what’s practical.

The original was on a patch with 4 figures, all a single color. This variant was floated for the MTG circle jerk subreddit.

I misread that as naval play, and then followup with titanic. Was wondering what that weird shit was.

Just speak the incantation of motive energy and light the incense to soothe the machine spirit.
