Halo 2 on legendary is absolutely brutal. The jackal snipers will one-shot you almost as soon as they spawn, so you need to memorize the spawn locations and triggers and make sure you have a BR to headshot them before they get into position.

The mini one was officially the PS One as the full name of the system. The official abbreviation for the original grey model was the PS or PS1, depending on whether or not Sony had started developing the PS2. Then they just started adding Slim to distinguish the small models and Xbox proudly took up the duty of naming consoles things that are confusing and don’t make any sense.

Interestingly, it’s technically not. While the PS1 was sometimes called the PSX in development, that name didn’t make it to the production model. There was, however, a PlayStation system that saw production under the PSX name, which was a combination PS2 and DVR. That’s probably the one @JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world is thinking of.

Ah, the first chapter of Metropolis. One of my favorite sections. That chapter name actually depends on the difficulty setting. On easy and normal it’s ‘Ladies Like Armor Plating’ but on heroic it’s ‘Ladies Like Grinding Treads’ and on legendary it’s ‘Ladies Like Superior Firepower.’ I think it’s the only instance in the franchise of a chapter title changing based on difficulty.

But it’s also just the previous console generation and brand new ones were still in stores three years ago.

Add tomato slices and chicken.

Still takes time to run the recycling systems and therefor money.

Also, think of it this way - you spend $X per 1000 bricks, but you can only sell 10% of those bricks. The remaining bricks get melted down at a cost of $Y. You then spend $9X/10 to produce another 900 bricks, of which only 90 are sellable. Rinse and repeat until all bricks are viable. You’ll have spent a hell of a lot of money producing the later batches.

Here, I can make it worse. There are highschoolers now who’s parents hadn’t met yet when when Michael Jackson died.

Bab5 was still mostly humanoid, although two major, recurring species were very inhuman.

B5 also had almost no budget. A lot of the sets are TOS quality despite being made in the '90s.

The TCW was a network mandate. So was dumping the TCW.

It would specifically hurt Xbox, which I wouldn’t be sad about.

The French Revolution ate the nobles, sure, but then it ate itself, then went on to try to eat the rest of Europe. It was a loooong time before it had positive results.

Before Star Trek and Star Wars, Flash Gordon was the big sci-fi franchise.

Which is why Old Man Spock is the best vulcan. As he said, “Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.” In his old age, he learned to understand and value the role emotion plays in our lives and how logic is best when it works together with emotion. That T’Lyn seems to have learned this from him specifically and is going down the same route makes me really happy.

The problem with Dear Doctor is that the premise is pure gibberish. Evolution isn’t an intelligent force that makes decisions, it’s not a predetermined path, species don’t go extinct to benefit others, and evolutionary changes don’t affect the entire population simultaneously. However, every one of those is treated as true for the episode and then they made it clear that the events were the inspiration for the creation of the Prime Directive. If not for that last part, it would probably be dismissed as yet another bad take on evolution from Trek, but that it’s specifically intended to be one of the most important moments in Starfleet history is what makes it stick out.

What’s more, his music is still getting radio play. He’s been dead for fifteen years, and his music was most popular thirty years ago, but one of your local radio stations probably played a few of his songs within the last week. That kind of staying power almost never happens outside of more niche genres. That he did it with pop is insane.

In the absence of a king, the stewards had the same power and authority as the kings and the position was hereditary. The stewards were effectively just a dynasty in the kingdom. Aragorn’s ascension to the throne didn’t really impact the way Gondor functioned.

The real republic is actually The Shire, which is consistently depicted as the best place on Middle-earth and the only place that regularly produces people capable of resisting the One Ring.

ReBoot somehow managed to get cancelled three times and revived twice. That third cancellation and its cliffhanger, though…

How do you prevent people from squeezing into your buffer?
