Please, eat less red meat. That leaves more for me.

I hate how the Star Wars fandom responded to Ep 1. Ahmed Best & Jake Lloyd deserved so much better. Lucas did nothing to protect them, either.

What about Star Wars gamers?

If only we actually did have a cage match for President, that would be more fun.

How is it shitty? It'll cut down on spam, massively.

There are several for me.

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990): When Splinter and Danny are talking, and Splinter asks about his parents. And gives a line that's become even more powerful since I lost my dad last year - "All fathers care for their sons."

  • Waking Life: Really this whole movie, because it's just scene after scene of interesting ideas and great dialogue, which, thanks to the way the movie is built, doesn't need to be super-connected. But I guess the scene i keep coming back to is when Wiley is with an old man in what looks like a bar. It ends with a powerful line: "Which is the most dominant human trait - fear? Or laziness?"

  • Johnny Mnemonic: "I! WANT! ROOM SERVICE!" Just a great delivery and a real show of how he's gotten to the end of his rope.

  • Midnight in Paris: Hemingway's introductory scene.

  • Casablanca: The ending especially, but also La Marseillaise vs. the Nazi anthem.

  • The Third Man: The Merry-Go-Round scene. It's a chilling look into villainy, and the obvious fact that Harry Lime was not always the monster he is in the film - because he can't look at his victims as people. It's why The Lives of Harry Lime worked as a radio show.

Kung Fu Hustle is a great movie.

touchHLE is definitely an interesting project. Glad to see it's mature enough to run Doom.

Be me, decide to conquer Mount Fuji known as Japanese language. Start with 'Konnichiwa,' end up lost in the 'Kanji' wilderness. Thought I ordered a sushi roll, turns out I signed up for the whole sushi factory.

@SloganLessons So aside from the bill, how full are you from the meal?

How come there is very little Kbin SEO for individual posts? Also, what are tags/badges?

Maybe someone smarter than me can explain things, but It's been about a month since I've started the process of creating a magazine to support the reddit/discord community I've helped mod for the past 4 years... but I've noticed that zero posts show up in google search....

On one hand, I support a strong robots.txt being in place. It keeps data from being used by honest engines (though what constitutes "honesty" varies). But at the same time, indexing and caching is how we can grow. If you want the site to grow, you want to get it to 1st position on first SERP.

It's a tricky balance.

    @somafm Thistle is great - and so are all of the Soma.FM channels! Try out Covers or Lush sometime!

    Honestly, I think a lot of people have hit the big ones already. Not being much of a horror gamer myself, I would throw Metroid Fusion into the mix as a sci-fi horror game. There's also a horror jankfest called Martian Gothic, which is on PC & PS1, which is interesting for the multiple characters working together through the game - but if they meet, game over - it's by the same team as Dreamweb. There's also Deep Fear for Sega Saturn, which is basically Sega doing Resident Evil, but underwater - I've only ever seen LPs of it, but it looks like fun - I don't know if you need a translation patch. You could try another contemporary game, Fatal Frame, which I played a demo of, where you use a camera to fend off ghosts.

    Samus is alone on a space station full of X Parasites, a thing that nearly killed her (and later you'll find out some other stuff about them). She had to have her power suit surgically removed from her body, and her appearance was radically changed. When you go aboard the station, you hope to find survivors - in vain, of course. And through it all, the only "friendly" voice you have is a computer which Samus named Adam, after Adam Malkovich, her former CO.

    You're alone. You're trapped with things that very definitely want to kill you, and I don't mean like the Metroids that just want to eat and grow. The X want Samus dead, personally.

    Sure, it's a colorful GBA game built on the same engine as Wario Land 4. That doesn't take away the horror when some of the plot beats hit.

    We need a scraper rather than an API caller.

    And this is why software should always be offline and installed from media. My copy of Photoshop 6(CS1) doesn't care what I do with it, it's software that does a job. I've tried updated CS versions of Photoshop thanks to friends and other means, and frankly? CS1 does all of what I need or want, and very little of what I don't.

    Working with software not installed and accessible on an airgapped offline machine is a bad idea.

    I mean, Google has been unstable about AR for about ten years now. I'm not surprised at this decision.

    Huh. I wonder if she's setting herself up for a run at something bigger and trying to be "the opposition".

    @CyberCatBytes Ask for advice, do research. You can find answers if you look.

    I would never say forced - it's just normal practice, but abstention happened. Shared experience is a powerful uniting factor. Reinforced daily, even moreso. Every student remembered the Pledge itself and remembers seeing every other student doing it - regardless of race, creed, or color. We were all Americans. I remember the first times I saw someone not taking part, the first, it was for religious reasons; his parents were part of a religious group that wouldn't let them swear oaths or something like that. The second was much later, and it was how I found out that someone in my class was a resident alien.

    It's obviously a stand-in for a religious prayer; I don't think anyone past 4th grade had any misconception about that. It's also a prayer of nationalism and loyalty to the country. If we could bring people back together like that still, it would help.

    Philly is a bit of a pain for me, but if it's on a Saturday afternoon, I could make it.

    I mean, it depends on which version of the lore you take. Their culture is repressive, with less social mobility than the Imperium or the Eldar, thanks to the caste system. The Ethereal Caste are doing something hinky and mind-controlling to everyone else. The one General who said "hey maybe we should learn how to fight up close occasionally" was banished. There's a lot of darkness there, and the disconnect between the Tau and the Warp makes those "little" things more notable.

    Imagine if the Tau get eaten by the Tyranids or a Genestealer Cult. They might not cast the Shadow in the Warp, removing the one form of warning of their presence.
