I think that’s part of the joke too. Like the whole comic has been written out of order due to race conditions; rather than just the father represents race conditions.

It’s one degree of humour too far though, if that’s the case, doesn’t really land.

This photo was taken years and years ago, look how young Neil Gaiman is in it.

Bet she put the soundtrack on Spotify though. That’s an earworm right there.

Speak for yourself. I can only eat foods served in Pyramids, this Christmas is going to be all Profiterols and Goa’uld Symbiots.

There were loads of overt Star Wars references in this episode which was fun.

  • Music queues were distinctly more John Williams-y.
  • Scene transitions hidden behind ships travelling past the screen.
  • Scariff style forcefield over one planet.
  • Tatooine like architecture.
  • Tatooine cantina shape and style to the bar.
  • A masked bounty hunter with an unintelligible language is actually an undercover ally.
  • The weather station is reminiscent of the Endor shield array.
  • Attacking a technological foe with sticks and war cries was similar to the Ewok battle in RotJ.

Some folks had a good day when they signed all that off.

I may want to recall something and not want to tie up my phone line with screeching.

No T’Anna. No M’Benga. What you got against apostrophes!?

This opinion is wild bud. Firstly, I disagree with the every hour of every weekday; once you take into account breaks, lunches, the much shorter working day, sports, and the way classes should usually be front-loaded with information then flipped for engagement, you’re maybe spending 10-15 hours a week “learning” and the rest practicing/applying. In my career I’ve generally had to spend much more than that each week learning.

Secondly you aren’t slaves, you have the option to down tools and just remain poorly educated without ramifications that endanger you immediate life/safety. That you don’t is as much to do with knowing it’s a shit idea, as it is societal pressure.

Thirdly, the people of Ancient Greece didn’t pay attention every second, but when their mind wandered they were at least able to move back to the topic at hand, tbh, if you miss enough context scrolling reels, you won’t be able to catch back up, and so many will just give up and stay on their phones.

Lastly, society around you pays for your education, it’s part of the social contract we live in. The resourcing of schools is already woefully low, please define how stretching those resources to accommodate completely preventable delinquency, is at all worthwhile. By draining time you aren’t only robbing the school, you’re taking from the students next to you who don’t want to spend their time acting like entitled children.

She didn’t stop it. She hasn’t heard a single case; but she did express an opinion on gerrymandering being bad, which likely got her elected, and refuses to recuse herself from cases on it. Basically the state republicans want to call it a conflict of interest, and then impeach; even though the bench (conservative majority at the time) wrote rules specifically to stop them needing to recuse in this way, several years back.

What’s worse is under WI they don’t need to actually have a trial to cause havoc. All they need to do is start a proceeding; then wait. She’ll be suspended from adjudicating at that point AND the governor can’t nominate a replacement.

Total, unashamed, politick. Imagine being this afraid of black voters in 2023.

Blame is too laden a word here.

TL;DR: CDPR have opted to shutter their in-house engine, Red Engine (which CP2077 was built on) in favour of a partnership with Unreal. Most of their devs have now switched to Unreal; with only those left on the upcoming CP2077 release still using Red Engine 4.

They have opted to no longer work at all on the Red Engine projects; ergo they either port CP to Unreal (an incomprehensibly large task given that Unreal doesn’t support many features that Red does, or at least not in the way Red does - not a slight on Unreal, simple reality of different engines, especially internal vs external tooling), or cease further development of CP. They opted for the latter.

Sounds a lot like the VR Missions and VR Missions Expansion for Metal Gear Solid.

I don’t think this is a mistake.

When the setting was first released it was styled Plane Scape and though has subsequently been used as Planescape the registration may date as far back as the initial early 90s.

Trademarks are a funny thing though, take Coca-Cola. If they register only COCA-COLA with the hyphen, that doesn’t allow Pepsi to make a sparkling brown sugar drink called Coca Cola. Intention is important in these matters, not just the technicality of what is registered. Registrations also allow for “stylisation”, which means you don’t need to register a new mark to stylise your existing mark.
