Finished Love, Death + Robots. Was pretty good overall, some episodes are simply epic (Three Robots is amazing). Sonnie's Edge is still not good, except for the animation of course. Beyond the Aquila Rift reminded me a bit of the Outer Limits revival show episode Tempests.

Well, that's another 13 bucks for GOG.

So, any word on whether we can make our vampires sparkle? Not buying if it doesn't live up to the new reality of vampirism.

:D

Apparently there's (maybe?) 4 different episode orders, based on no one knows what, . So not everyone is getting the same first episode. https://www.indiewire.com/2019/03/love-death-and-robots-netflix-episode-order-changing-1202052377/ Well looks like I need to clarify then, I was talking about the episode Sonnie's Edge which was the first for me, and apparenly is the first episode of the default order (at least as far as external info sites are concerned).

That's not nebulous at all.

Well, that was one terrible episode. The tension at the end left me at the edge of my seat. From almost falling off after dozing off. Good job making Michael a wangsty teenager for half the episode by the way. Sheesh.

Hah. See Chris Avellone turned into the ultimate minimalist writing all dialogue for Link.

Time for me to step up the cheese level: edit: /thread.

Speaking of some boom boom...

I wonder how many people that first episode of Love, Death + Robots stopped from continuing. It's like an edgelord explosion of edginess for the sake of being edgy. Look at us, we're animated entertainment for adults. We have violence, swearing, boobies, lesbians and (off-screen) gang rape. All handled with tasteful, uhm, immaturity. But yeah, some episodes are fun and they're so short the bad ones don't really matter. It's just sad that the frist episode is that... eh. Well, edgy.

Owning things even less. I'm still not convinced that they really solved the input lag issue. Sure when you have a connection that can give you a theoretical 20 to 30ms round trip from the button press to the video reaction on screen you're not going to feel much difference in most games - except for high precision platforming and really fast shooters. But people connected through ASDL or LTE? Eh. Sure you have the bandwidth to stream the video, but the latency on these services is more often than not dreadful. And of course there's the huge issue of ownership/licensing/etc. Proponents of game streaming usually come up with Netflix as a defense here but that's much different. Outside of a few films you really enjoy who's watching and rewatching films all the time? Matrix and In Bruges was gone from our local Netflix library due to licensing issues for a wile. Now they're back. I missed both films a total of zero times. Not having a game to replay when I feel like it? Much, much different.

Ah, 90ies Europop/Eurodance.

I'm pretty sure this what what Arnold meant when he said drugs are bad for you.

Well, here's one for Lexx then: No gun though.

Hum, so Star Trek: Discovery really is in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

Razor 1911 and FAiRLIGHT were from the 80ies, DEViANCE started in the late 90ies and later split into a bunch of groups like ViTALiTY (man, that was some internet drama), RELOADED and who the hells knows what else. Following the end of DEViANCE every new group on the scene was accused or thought to be former DEViANCE.

You sharpen your Razor 1911 times, with no Deviance. Once you see things in a Fairlight, everything can be Reloaded. I just realized that, aside from DEViANCE which stopped being active back in the mid 2000s, I have no idea if those groups are still around.

I will always remember the day when my mother picked up some Stargate Slash-Fiction to read without understanding exactly what that meant she'd actually be reading. That reminds me of the time we had a fanfiction contest on Ashford City (one of the more popular Interplay spinoff boards). Fun times. A good deal of slash fiction. And some poking fun on people who thought Goldenbell was a real girl (like Yrkoon, heh). Seems so far away now. I'm not even sure if people who posted at AC are left on this forum.

Axel Voss sez mayb YT shouldn't be. Just in case you're wondering who to vote for in the upcoming European Parliament election. As if that wasn't clear enough anyway. edit: Well who am I kidding. Assuming the EPP will lose votes they'll just all go to the ENF, a faction equally as imbecilic when it comes to technology - and if you look at people like Harald Vilimsky proof that the human race is devolving. Dude's essentially a Nazi in anything but the name and looks like he's on the verge of being part of the Planet of the Apes. And not as human slave. Talk about irony.

Watched After Life on Netflix. Language warning, lots of cursing: Well worth a watch. Bloody fantastic, actually. Final episode gets a bit too sappy perhaps.

It's simple, BruceVC is posting a little more in WOT. It's hard to get in character for two really similar but somewhat different personas so he's sticking to one over the other for a while. Or he's doing the method acting version of trolling.

Obviously, but only if you had the real version, not the lame censored one.

Assuming that information about the deal is the real, eh, deal. I can absolutely understand Snapshot's/Julian's decision. It keeps his people employed, the investors happy, even if the sales are virtual, and takes pressure off the development team. As good ol' Adolf once said: "There is but one moment when the Goddess of Fortune wafts by, and if you don't grab her then by the hem you won't get a second chance." It's still unfair to backers and those who pre-ordered for a certain platform. I still don't like it. Understanding it helps a bit, though. Plus I don't need to back or by any future Snapshot games. And at the end of the day Malcador's right: All that will be forgotten, like tears in the rain, by the time the game's released.
