Not including whatever Wagner got up to.

Well, there goes my sleep for the night.

That was the spec sheet provided by the company, but without any backing info, testing, or engineering expertise. The more digging people have done on this submarine, the more of an absolute shit show it is.

I think the blurb sets up a bad set of expectations. “Lesbian necromancers in space” makes it seem like a Sci-Fi/Fantasy LGBT+ romance novel. Instead you get a mystery in a setting that is only technically science-fantasy with a vague romance side plot.

The ending isn’t happy, that is for sure.

What were the issues people had with it? Pacing in the middle third?

So, what you’re saying is that a Steam Controller is a better choice of diving equipment than the Logitech PlayStation knock off?

Only the most optimistic guesses about their air suggest there is any left in it at this point. We’re pretty much at the recovery phase.

Red Sister was quite interesting. IMO the rest of the series doesn’t hold up.

I highly recommend Gideon the Ninth down there at the bottom too. Very highly. Why haven’t you started yet?

Bezos hates this! Save money with one simple trick.

The prosecution is undoubtedly taking lots of notes every time Trump does an interview.

I first saw the story pop up in r/UFOs, which isn’t a great start. Granted, the story is well sourced by conspiracy theory standards but still doesn’t quite raise to the standards of “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” I put a mental pin on the story to see how it develops.

I’m entirely onboard and OK with your inclusion of GITS on the list and think that an examination of a theme inevitably needs to examine how a theme has evolved as it passes through other art forms.

You weren’t out of the loop, SE was keeping it on the down low. Partly because there have already been two major production delays (COVID, invasion of Ukraine) and it hasn’t been super clear when it would be ready for release. The producer is also doing double duty being the producer for 14 (if increasingly in name only) which probably isn’t helping anything.

If that is what puts him where he belongs… I can live with it

LAMP + mediawiki went pretty quick for me. The issue was that I didn’t want to dig through all their config files to tweak it to what I wanted.

But it is Bethesda we are talking about here lol.

I’m sure they will rely on the mod community for bug fixes like they have their last few games.

The ISP middleware is an interesting idea, basically an SSO (think the “Sign in with Google” you see everywhere). However, this would require some level of integration between every ISP and adult site, which would get seriously tedious as such things roll out all over the country. This doesn’t even get into the fact that each law would vary somewhat in the specific requirements and that it just kicks the job to verifying IDs and ages to the ISP instead of the downstream site.

Own it. Way back when on Reddit there was a guy who basically made a meme out of doing this.

He moved to Twitter. Apparently Fox has or thinks they have some sort of rights to him hosting news through 2024 as per their contract with him.
