Flashback

I played it on the SNES. It’s a sci-fi platformer that I felt shared themes with movies like Total Recall, They Live, Blade Runner, Running Man.

You start as Conrad, who has crash landed on Titan, being chased by mysterious bad guys, and with no memory of why. All you have is a gun, and a video recording of yourself telling you where to go for the next clue.

Well, I’m not sure if it was good, but it committed to turning it up to 11.

Alien^3 insulted the ending of Aliens and felt like it was full of slightly lame choices.

Out of the first 4 movies, 3 was the worst.

There was actually a good Alien novel saga that explored a mysterious reappearance of Ellen Ripley that turned out to be an android recreation of the real Ripley. I can’t remember if it was set before or after Alien Resurrection

But I clapped because I recognised a thing!

I don’t think people are yearning for a dystopian future.

I think all of those applications will, or already have, develop independently of something like Facebook metaverse. If anything meta is taking those useful applications and trying to turn it into a household product that nobody needs.

They really should have used the word “static” instead of stable. Stable definitely has connotations of functional stability, and unstable of functional instability.

The quote is misquoting the analogy. It is an infinite number of monkeys.

The point of the analogy is about randomness and infinity. Any page of gibberish is equally as likely as a word perfect page of Shakespeare given equal weighting to the entry if characters. There are factors introduced with the behaviours of monkeys and placement of keys, but I don’t think that is the point of the analogy.

Gog does now have a launcher, but you can still download the offline installer files for games.

Commandos! One of my favourites! Commandos 4 comes out soon I believe

I guess it means that no one here knows what Windows Debloated is and didn’t read far down enough to see regular windows marked as very easy to install.

Why wasn’t RSS as popular as the original Twitter?

I’m not sure what the answer is, but I suspect it’s the same answer.

I think they are talking HDD vs SSD.

I thought it was a great idea for official statements. Kind of like a new type of RSS feed.

Local transport companies can advertise delays, meteorology organisations can advertise natural disasters, police can post active missing person alerts, etc.

But it seems like it is just vapid narcissists thinking other people give a shit about their random thoughts.

If you start with the second one you won’t know what’s going on and feel like you’ve missed a bunch of important story.

This is how it felt after playing the first one as well. Half Life 2 is almost an unrelated game. The plots of the two barely line up.

Because touch screens are cheap and put the onus of design onto the programmers of apps.

That was when the credits happened at the start of the film. Now that the credits are at the end, most people would walk out before the trailers could play.

Stark made the suit with no help. He doesn’t need a specific suit because he has the skill to invent whatever he may need.

At this point, Peter can’t make himself a suit like that, so if he is nothing without it, he can’t respect the power it brings. But he isn’t nothing without it, which is what Stark is trying to teach him: not to rely on power of others.

New tab tools.
