#19 Phonics? Catching the very end of the 1900s huh
But even then Discworld is hardly the first. Mary Gentle’s Grunts! came out in 1992 and had orcs as protagonists. Stan Nicholls’s Orcs trilogy had orcs as the heroes and the humans the antagonists. Both well before Discworld. Heck even Warcraft had novels with deep backgrounds for the orcs before Discworld.
#12 TF? Tolkien humanized the orcs. From The Two Towers‘No, I don’t know,’ said Gorbag’s voice. ‘The messages go through quicker than anything could fly, as a rule. But I don’t enquire how it’s done. Safest not to. Grr! Those Nazgûl give me the creeps. And they skin the body off you as soon as look at you, and leave you all cold in the dark on the other side. But He likes ’em; they’re His favourites nowadays, so it’s no use grumbling. I tell you, it’s no game serving down in the city.’
You’re right. It was 1000% deliberate. You can see them start to change lanes and then hold steady to intentionally wreck the tailgater.
Natural selection didn’t make people smarter. We only got smarter when we were able to come together and organize and lift up everyone as members of a collective society. We’re falling away from that and splitting into small groups: hence dumber.
Origin was ok but next level is reserved for infocom games
El Hazard was even better
Live as long as you like (to pay the monthly survival subscription fee)
I didn’t even know Lilo and Chihiro were the same actress and I’m also learning she was Samara?
LLMs love the word “quietly” to describe an impact
Easily
#2 several of them notice it
Moving day is at hand
Those are two different guys?
#6 The Princess Bride is the most remakable movie because it almost entirely happens in the kid’s imagination. New kid: new imagined perspective.
#2 I mean that’s a very old basic example from stock phishing test examples. Not exactly cutting edge.
Or a comic book hero. People have always been creative.
#3 That’s Bluey
The cartoon version of Link was basically Archer. A silly goofball doing silly things but when it came time to lock in he locked in.
Ever think she came out with this blatantly verifiable statement as a way to get thousands of people fact checking on the internet and talking about the files again?Like the classic best way to get help with a Linux problem was to go on the Internet and say Linux sucks because it can’t do ____
That’s just the story from the short history of nearly everything ripped out and unfolded into a thread. It’s even the same pacing and story beats sheesh
#23 they were running from the cops because of prohibition
Kind of a “Who is John Galt?” thing. Or the plot of Influx.
Checks? Balances?
That video is some top tier TikTok
Look up the Infocom game A Mind Forever Voyaging for an example of some contemporary criticism of Reagan. Gamers clocked the problem.
Careful with that everyone you’re throwing around
It means someone is trying to print an envelope which are printed individually and there’s a special feeding mechanism for them. The printer is saying ok cool load in that envelope.
Gotta be at least 1% volume to count as watching.
