  1. My understanding that was a pitch concept trailer. Cartoon Network has also filed for a trademark on Learning with Pibby: Apocalypse with the subsequent speculation being that Cartoon Network has decided to develop the series.
  2. I hate timers as well. They always make me panicky and then I rush through things being afraid that I'll fail, but then when I finish I always wonder what I missed by rushing through.
  3. Paramount took the rights back as they plan to launch Paramount+ globally in 2022. https://deadline.com/2021/11/star-trek-discovery-netflix-deal-paramount-viacomcbs-1234875466/
  4. Its a bit misleading comparing Amtrak (which owns only about 1,000 KM of the tracks it uses) with Switzerland (which has over 3,000 km of track) and then the amount of tracks in the US total (over 250,000 km). Scale for national train travel is a big problem, hence why Amtrak is mostly reliant on renting time on shipping company's tracks. The makes the biggest problem with Amtrak not that people wouldn't use it, but its not even a comparable option excepting in the NE US where commuting may be a 'short' time investment. I once looked at visiting someone in the southwest US (about a 4 hour plane trip) and to get there on Amtrak would be a 3 day trip with an overnight stop in Washington DC and then another in Chicago. That said, its not unfair to say that US people got led down the garden path in 1939 with respect to cars. Our city recently spent a lot of money to install a short trip street car after 60 years earlier tearing up their original street car lines in favor of cars-cars-cars.
  5. I saw Leanan Sidhe, but haven't talked to her yet. Mostly ran around and recruited some demons and merge them.
  6. Wut?
  7. Robert Emmet Odlum was the man's name. I don't know why these things omit people's names.
  8. Traditionally, one of the things I've liked about the system as well is that status ailment actually can play a part in strategy. Most games status ailments have such a low chance of working that there is little point in trying. Edit - screenshot of my current crew:
  9. I'm roughly at the same spot in SMT V. I'm not high enough to merge an Angel, though. I guess I shoulda whacked a few more demons. EDIT: Take it back, whacked a Mitama and by sheer luck killed it and boom, I'm level 10 so now Angel is a member of my party.
  10. How goes the chucking of chairs?
  11. Last time I tried to watch WWE wrestling, all I saw was WWE wrestlers talking at one another for an interminable amount of time. I hear AEW has its moments, but that it also has its share of silly.
  12. I don't think that's the exact analogy that the prosecutors are making. I think their argument is that you can't create a dangerous situation and then also get to use deadly force claiming self defense. The clear version of what the Prosecution is arguing would be, Guy A punches Guy B in the face. Guy B isn't phased by the punch, and goes with a punch of his own to retaliate so Guy A then pulls a gun and shoots Guy B. I haven't kept up with the Rittenhouse case, so I can't say how much it does/doesn't apply, but I think its what the prosecutors are going for.
  13. I saw I got a couple of confused reactions, and I think its about this bit above. So to explain...
  14. More than likely, its because they were playing the Falcons. Ouch.
  15. TNG: Descent, Part II Data is a tool of Lore, Jeordi gets brain-drained, Picard gives speeches and Riker and Worf rally Hugh. Okay, I guess. My brother pointed out that having a top ranking ships office be able to be so easily manipulated by an outside signal seems to really be a huge problem for Data and the crew of the Enterprise, which I hadn't really thought about but...yeah. If Lore could easily send a signal to dampen his empathy logic routine, then how easy would it be to just send Data wild whenever you wanted? Lower Decks "Cupid's Errant Arrow" Mariner suspects Boimler's new girlfriend is an alien predator of some kind. A silly episode that plays off on a story trope that happens a lot with Star Trek (stories about two people meeting and falling an love and one of them isn't what they seemed).
  16. Supēsu Kobura aka Space Cobra aka Space Adventure Cobra, episode 2 "Kikai! Jigoba" aka "The Mysterious Zygoba!" This episode is all about giving depth to... Cobra is trying to leave Earth when he runs into a woman, Vivi, with a problem. Naturally he can't resist helping her as... Animation was still solid period TV animation. Less bright neon lights, so less trippy than the first episode, but still plenty of that 70s style to go around. Also, is it me or does Zygoba's motivation stem from...
