Unlimited Lives

The internet. A thousand quiet compliments drowned out by one screaming dipshit who uses volume to make up for their lack of words worth hearing. You'll never please such people because their whole personality is being displeased. Your channel's one I consistently watch *because* of the variety.

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet:

“Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

If I had to put money on it: something new but with recognisable characters. A silly couch co-op game would be a good way to push a Steam machine and multiple controllers. That's got more mainstream appeal than another VR game.

Whilst I concur it's very unlikely, I would point out the original Index was launched just before Half-Life: Alyx. HL3 may well be the longest of long shots, but *something* new from them wouldn't surprise me to support a hardware push.

Fuck 'em. I'm guessing nobody called you a GW shill when you started using original recipe Marine Juice, despite many GW paints having what could generously be described as a patchy reputation. People are dicks and will attribute intent only when it fits their own preconceptions. You do good work.

Justice is not living in a different mansion and being called "Mister". Framing a loss of privilege as a punishment serves only those with privilege to spare.

I've already had that conversation once on Bluesky. Their argument was... not entirely solid.

Edited screenshot for a recent piece of clickbait bullshit packaged as an opinion piece. New headline reads "I Grew Up Into A Massive Piece Of Shit, And I Expect Star Trek To As Well".

Wow, these Trek opinion pieces are getting weird.

You OK? Sounds like you're caught between a rock and another, similar rock but in a uniform.

It isn't about them having creative freedom. It's about you not having it. There are people who'd walk into an ice-cream parlour just to complain that every flavour wasn't vanilla.

Counterpoint: that's a new script pitch.

"Wesley and the Great Glass Elevator"

Your original idea is far more logical and efficient without a doubt, but the LifeLift™ system is cooler¹ so that's the one they'd go for.

¹significantly more dangerous

Oooh! There's your modularity. Deploy boats into the lift network so each door has one, and some dedicated power/resource/propulsion units to hull exits. Full boats link to the resource units when full. Basically end up with an emergency lego version of the long lifeboat you originally envisioned.

Not ideal I'll grant you but, if we're talking about ships large enough that getting to the hull is potentially impractical, something is better than nothing. Perhaps a modular system where they can dock with larger pods to share resources. Starfleet loves having 20 answers to the same question.

This is a fun idea, and one based in existing canon when you consider it's just a repurposed warp core ejection system. Taking the concept further: could turbolifts also have an auxiliary function as lifeboats? They're already enclosed, mobile, and conveniently accessible throughout a ship.

I've not explained myself well I think. I mean the benches etc as part of a larger static piece rather than scatter, with a hole in the middle for the fountain. Though, with hindsight, making it all scatter gives more modularity so you're probably taking the smarter option there.

I think the reason it *feels* small in that shot is because everything around it indicates it's a focal point. It's not the fountain itself but the lack of pomp.

If you;'re open to suggestion: Perhaps a decorative surround for the fountain, like some benches sitting close to it, that you can place the fountain in the middle of. Then you've got a large piece of scenery or a small one depending on your needs.

As a rule, I don't buy games on release day. Little Rocket Lab was an exception. Delighted to know they deserve that support, and would recommend the game to anybody who likes the idea of automation and isn't offended by estrogen or melanin.

If there's something on this that I missed, please do tell me. Also genuinely sorry if this came across as condescending or preachy. Not my intent but... you know... internet. And I meant what I said about finding your stuff insightful. The Oscar Gundam logic is flawless.

Whether that dispute is real or in their head doesn't really matter. Both of those options give pause. As I said, dunno. Could be genuine. All I know is conditioning the right to instantly react to hatebait is how we got here, and I worry what will happen if we allow the same.

I'm not sure I follow you on not fact-checking. I've followed it to the point of knowing there's somebody who claims to be involved in a dispute with this (former) site. There are videos from somebody outside this particular establishment before closure, and I checked those against the photos here.

I'm not saying it's definite bullshit because who the fuck knows what's satire these days, but the only people I've seen using "thank you for your attention in this matter" are those taking the piss, and there's someone involved who directly benefits from the publicity.

Z. Mann, I generally enjoy your analyses, but you're assuming a sheet of paper attached via a tiny piece of tape to the outside of a building accessible by the public is genuine. Also: it's a site which had an ongoing dispute with an instagram & tiktok influencer who was also a former employee.

Then what are you "bringing them back" from?

I've found they get more upset when you point out that, as the single member of a unique species, it was also technically genocide.

Correct. The people awaiting organs are still alive. Tuvok and Neelix were dead. It's worse.

The people who think "the good of the many" is an order to impose rather than a philosophy to follow fall oddly silent when told how many lives their organs would save.

It's a tiny detail, I know, but also one on the majority of external Voyager shots. Maybe an overreaction on my part. I just worry about how much research is being done beyond skimming a synopsis of each episode.
