We also have stripes.

That’s how the Romans divided the world thousands of years ago and it stuck.

It’s not quite as bad as it looks. The lower image either has had the saturation reduced or was taken with a potato, and the upper image has had the saturation increased. The lower image has a gold car (parked by an asshole) and a a couple red cars, but the image quality makes them hard to notice.

The upper image still has a lot more variety, but it’s a bit misleading.

Er, no. A Linux program from five years ago probably won’t run on a current distro if it hasn’t been maintained in four years. A Windows program released twenty years ago and never patched has pretty good odds of running on Win10 without even needing to touch the compatibility tab.

Which they could clean up, but it would mean killing backwards compatibility, which is arguably the only selling point of Windows.

The new body is distinctly inhuman, so it’s also transhumanism.

He does for the hallway scene in Rogue One at a minimum. His suit is completely off there so he can scare the crap out of some rebels.

That is exactly what he’s doing. When he jumps Luke in ESB, he’s breathing harder and faster for a bit once the breathing sounds come back on.

I don’t care about the fans, but having six face buttons instead of four would be huge for certain things, like emulating certain consoles.

And Twilight was a Harry Potter fanfic with the serial numbers filed off, weirdly enough.

It’s really annoying that they all have a camera. One, they don’t need it. Two, it’s murder on the battery life. Every time I’ve looked to see if they finally made smart glasses without a camera they haven’t and the battery life for all of them is about four hours. Why the hell would I want something that I’m going to be using from when I wake up until I go to sleep only have the cool part I paid extra for work for four hours? I got a smart watch that runs for two days on a charge. If the watch can do it, glasses can do it.

American-made PlayStation games were using X for confirm and O for cancel long before the Xbox came out. It’s probably partially because X is blue and O is red; we don’t have cultural context for the symbols, but we do have cultural context for the colors.

Did they watch The Peacekeeper Wars after finishing the show? Because it does help.

Same in Oregon.

I imagine Alaska being red is more about dying from the cold than the law.

It’s a 3e base, but very simplified. It’s more like 5e with extra feats and the old fortitude/reflex/will save system added on.

When they do the reveal there’s a cinematic that shows all the unavoidable foreshadowing that you didn’t notice. It goes on for a full two minutes and is only a fraction of all the foreshadowing to that point since so much is in optional dialogue. Took me completely by surprise the first time and for years I would find another bit of foreshadowing tucked away in areas of dialogue trees I hadn’t gone down before each time I played.

Cheap to duplicate is great for them. That means larger profit margins.

Like Bruce in Batman Beyond. Typically he was on comms helping Terry be Batman, but it was always memorable when he went into the field.

I’d point out that ‘an observation event’ is just hitting one thing with another thing, which is always going to have some kind of effect. And wave-particle duality is probably more of a spectrum than we give it credit for. Particles vibrate constantly and can be easily made to do wave-like things, like resonance. Collapsing a waveform into a particle may be less of a mode or type change and more like putting your finger on a resonating tuning fork.
