- Comment on Exclusive: Writer Confirms ‘Star Trek: Khan’ Is Being Treated As Canon, Talks Potential Future Audio Series 5 days ago:
Lucas would always say that the EU was canon. Not because he had supervised them, not because they were written well, but because being canon means the fans will feel they “need” to consume it.
No studio is going to outright say anything is non-canon because it’s a bad marketing technique.

The whole point of jellyfin/Plex is to provide a feature rich UI for your video files on your hard drive. This is walking back from that to the point that you may as well just use vlc and map network drives on windows. Heck, just carrying around a SSD full of videos is easier than this.
- Comment on Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulation 1 week ago:
When we dream we often believe it to be reality, despite that in retrospect we can identify clear contradictions with logic in those dreams.
A Matrix-like simulation doesn’t have to be perfect. We are a bunch of dumb-dumbs who will suspend disbelief quite easily and dismiss those who claim to see a different truth as crazy.

Maybe in some cases. My robot stores it’s smart map on the cloud, which means of you cut off the internet it loses a lot of features.

- Comment on Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response) 5 weeks ago:
Aya Brea, from Parasite Eve
The perfect mix of unsuspecting hero, chosen one, and bad ass. The sequel also gives her an Ellen Riply in Aliens vibe as well. Shame about 3rd Birthday and the fact we will never get another one. For those who don’t know, the owner of the original IP didn’t want to renew the license for the games, which means the games can no longer use anything from the novel which includes all references to mitochondria and Eve. That’s why 3rd Birthday was seemingly a totally different game; they tried to make a sequel that couldn’t reference any of the main plot points of the previous games or novel.

What’s your process to rip from Spotify? Do you get full quality?
- Comment on Thoughts about responsibility 1 month ago:
Well, it was your negligence to have bald tyres, so it would be your fault of you had an accident because of that.
Again, I’m saying this is not a good analogy.
- Comment on Thoughts about responsibility 1 month ago:
I disagree that the responsibly of an accident falls on what other people wanted you to do. What if you had to take someone to hospital and the same accident occurred? Is it the fault of the person that needed to go to hospital? What if you need to rush out to help a family member in distress? Would it be their fault for being in distress?
I think it’s not a good analogy for responsibility. Sometimes car accidents happen and you can’t pin that on “it’s not my fault because I didn’t actually want to go to the place I’m driving”

Then how do you manage the type of people who just want control over as much a possible to stroke their own ego while doing a terrible job or pushing their own agenda?
Surely it’s better for unmoderated pages to prune themselves, leaving only ones with enough interest to survive.
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 months ago:
That’s right, circle was accept because drawing a circle in Japanese is their equivalent to a tick, x is cancel like a cross, I think the square was supposed to look like a piece of paper, I can’t remember what the triangle symbolised.

I think it’s proven fact that things often sell off of the art and IP, sometimes for those alone. If that wasn’t the case they wouldn’t fight so hard to protect it.

Actually that was from Das Jesus Video (aka The Hunt for the Hidden Relic)
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 4 months ago:
I don’t think you’ve thought through your question. The machine was open in both time periods. The machine was turned off after the information was given. There’s nothing more to happen.
I get what you’re trying to say, but it doesn’t really apply to the scenario you are describing.
I saw a better version of what you are attempting to present: a scientist has a button that transports an object back in time by 5 seconds. An apple is tested successfully, it appears 5 seconds before he pushes the button and when he pushes the button the original disappears. They try it with a live mouse but something goes wrong; when it appears it’s horribly disfigured and this scares the scientist who pulls away from pushing the button. The mouse has already appeared but he will not press the button. Now what happens?
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 4 months ago:
This is the most level headed approach to IP I’ve seen. If you’re not willing to use the property you forfeit it. It’s a common contact for licensing rights for movies that forces a studio to make a movie or lose rights. That way people can’t squat on a licence to prevent others using it.
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 4 months ago:
Because it’s a stepping stone in the learning. Using something like tailscale that just works allows you to develop skills with other software and workflows. Eventually you progress to harder things like hosting your own private VPN.

Tactics is getting more of a remaster than a remake. It’s also missing a bunch of content that was added in the PSP version. Honestly I don’t think it will sell terribly well.
