Oh, I thought we were just talking about movies given the thread. Didn't know about Mute though. Yeah, the genre needed a comeback but there is only so much you can do with it that hasn't already been done. The originators explored most of what there was to be had. I'm also a bit tired of this "Outrun" 80's Retry flanderization of cyberpunk that seems so popular. I think there are other stylizations that could be explored, which would hopefully make projects on a future from where we are today, not where we were in the 80's. Also many people act like 90's cyberpunk wasn't a thing and largely ignore some of it's greatest contributions. Plus, and I'll shut up. Plus, the genre has become less rigorous in it's philosophy. It doesn't really pull from the bleeding vision of technology and science as it once did. Once again a lot of it just asks the same old questions. I just recently finished Altered Carbon and I really liked how it didn't focus much on the future, all the characters were well acclimated to their surroundings. So it mostly just explored what life would be like, and what personal stories might play out in it's world. Which was quite refreshing. The most you got was this novel idea of turning down resurrection on account of religious beliefs.

Other than Bladerunner what cyberpunk moves have there been?

This departure sounds very similar to what I heard about at ND. A ton of leadership clashing and not strategizing development around constraints.

Great match.

As you wish.

The Last Airbender is a gem of a show. Korra... is a neat extension of that premise, but mostly fails the capture a compelling narrative. I would say S3 of Korra is actually good. The rest I didn't care much for, though S1 & 2 at least setup 3. S1 is probably the second best season, I don't know what is worse between 2 and 4. S2 makes me mad as a fan, and S4 is just plain bad. At least 2 is redeemed by what was made possible in 3. It's not a terribly long show so might as well see for yourself, but I guess it depends on how worth your time it all seems.

Although the mega-dungeon was a nice stretch goal idea for PoE1, it clearly got away from them when it reached 15 levels and I never though it was a particularly engaging piece of content. Each to his own I guess, but I vastly prefer "dungeon content" similar to Raedric's Hold -- which we got in Deadfire in the shape of Fort Deadlight and Hasongo, which were both awesome. I also really enjoyed The Hanging Sepulchers and The Old City, both in Neketaka, though the latter admittedly could've been a bit bigger. But yeah, I'm always for more dungeon content, though I don't think they need to be 15 levels. In fact, I think I'd prefer them not to be that big. Some of my favorite dungeons ever -- Durlag's Keep, Dragon's Eye, The Severed Hand, Upper and Lower Dorn's Deep, Durgan's Battery -- are between 5 and 10 levels, which IMO is the sweet spot. Laborious descents into subterranean despair are content unto themselves. Some people just lack a classical sense of adventure.

I had Bird Dog's maple once, I thought it was pretty good. More of a novelty whisky but it makes for a good "session" liquor, if there could be called such a thing.

Yeah I feel ya, too much clinging to the past. It felt like none of the characters growth became permanent. Still enjoyed it.

Wars of attrition

Altered Carbon was pretty good, way different than I was expecting.

Oh just looked it up, Senegal had two extra yellow-cards on Japan. edit: Thanks

Why did Japan move through over Senegal? Seems arbitrary.

Now that's what I call Pythonic.

I'd bet you're right, moments like the world cup are too good to pass up.

"A space senator would never wear cinnabuns's for hair."

Is all tap beer pumped with CO2 or NitrO? I assumed a lot of it was keg taps. Or do those also use an artificial volume of gas?

"The future is already here - it's just not very evenly distributed yet." Not just true of technology, but of rights and representation. Roe v. Wade is important. Woman deserve control over their bodies and rights to medical privacy, if you want to provide more protection to the fetus, there are other avenues forward. Plenty of woman's lives are controlled by the men around them with regards to the risk of pregnancy and their need for financial support of bringing a child to term. Obtaining more rights for men in regards to custody and child support can be done without interfering with a woman's control over her health & body. LGBT rights should be the same as everyone's rights. I disagree with the sort of compelled speech laws with regards to identity that some propagate as part of a majority rule, minority rights philosophy. But, if we are being honest most of the world is not trying to be accepting of even civil LGBTQ folks in the social sphere. Plenty of people will take the opportunity to let them know they are unwelcome in public space if given the chance. Not every corner of this country operates like a progressive neighborhood in a liberal college town. LGBT rights shouldn't place them above anyone else, but the lack of specific rights shouldn't put them below anyone else. Sometimes you just need to be explicit when stating rights extend to all peoples. Affirmative action has it's place, but only in a patchwork sense. Applied broadly it overwhelming does more harm than good, and more now than every given the diversity of the modern global world. It allows for aid for the under-served to be disbursed by collegiate institutions, instead of investing in minority or economically impoverished communities. All the while creating unfair conditions in colleges for people who have worked so hard to get there. Everyone at college is coming from drastically different life circumstances and economics conditions anyways. Those considerations should be far bigger considerations than merely something as abstract as race. We should recover the notion of the individual by economic means. Of course any executive order can be proposed as legislation and become law is it movies through the proper means of becoming so. There is not establishing new precedence here. I would agree the presidents travel ban was constitutional, however Trump had made numerous comments during his campaign that suggest the ban had a racist motive. People do not like any sort of conniving or moving of goal-posts that smuggles in racist policy under a guise. Given this country has a history with radical Islamic terrorism and Trump is a blundering idiot. I think the ban in relation to nationals from countries from which radical cells operate makes sense, and is totally justifiable. But, the well has been poisoned because someone like Trump does not think straight, nor act straight. The defense and intelligence sector already does a lot of work screening people, so I'm not sure we really needed an executive order on top of what we already do. All Trump has done is stirred up the heavy particulates at the bottom of the well. The reason I like the founders of the US is because they are riding towards a horizon of enlightenment liberalism. I find conservatives tend not to believe in those things in the same manner, but since the founding documents are so well written, they sometimes manage to hold down the fort. Progressives I feel have their eye on the prize, but often don't have a sense to guard the systemic principles that drive emergent liberal values, so they put the very systems that mean to guide them at risk. Since law is an exercise in articulations I want my Justices to embody the law in a manner that is contingent on the written understanding, so that it may be preserved and acted out by all those that follow. I find a moderate conservative or classically liberal Judge would best fill such a responsibility. Unfortunately I also feel the Republican base is tinged in a bias against progress which will defend the system over the people who the system is meant to defend. I fear the courts will become too conservative and will hinder this country. This country often tries to play to it's strengths, which is in economic prowess. All too often conservatives forget this is a result of a massive debt economy and you have to take care of people to make them productive and flourishing, there is a reason the left as been amassing at the borders.

Second life, but centered around mass-homicide.

Had a dream last night where this was played at a music festival. I basically just had an amphitheater playing classic songs in my sleep... wish that would happen every night.

Fitting that the Reagan appointment would be replaced by Trump.

I'll say it again, Holiday 2019 (On-time) or Q1/Q1 2020 (QA Delays). This would keep in-line with their release reporting in their shareholder meetings. 2 releases by 2021 which means roughly Holiday 2019 and Holiday 2021 respectively.

They could use a good pick-me-up after Brexit.

A quick search tell me those eccentricities were not his normal attire.
