Oh -- okay. That makes more sense.
Like I said -- it just confused me :)
Sorry :)
Because WarFrame is definitely something I'd like to be a part of? That is the sound of peace and hope right there :)
(Sorry. Not mocking you in particular, but Warframe? Not the most friendly sound names as names go, I think you'd have to agree).
Fable II was very weird for this type of thing.
A guy sat at the end of the bridge in Bowerstone South. And no matter what you gave him -- money, rings, food, a diamond worth CR 6000 -- he was still there the next day.
It was just weird.
The only benefit was it gave you KILLER purity scores -- I mean you could go out and kill an entire village of innocent people and then just give him two diamonds and you would be rated as a saint again. If you liked that sort of thing :)
Okay -- I wanna know what vaspider said about it.
I love the way everyone wants this to be a sitcom and I am just "Okay -- that last line is hilarious" and that is all I can think about.
Would that be covered by Prime? Because it sounds like it would be expensive :)
Well first I'd worry that all these people look alike. I mean -- are they quintuplets? And if so are we supposed to ship them with each other? Because that's............. creepy. (Not because they are all male -- I write a lot of M/M stuff. I have no problem with that. But shipping brother with brother? That's............ just a little beyond my comfort zone)
Second -- why are they all male? (Just curious).
Third -- why is there a weird half person at the end? Was he cut in half during a tragic mining accident that left him forced to live the rest of his life as half a man? Or half a woman? And will this half woman or half man ever be fixed? Or are they happy? And -- most importantly -- am I putting way too much thought in to this?
Fourth -- lets assume this is just some weird aberration where five (or five and a half) people all look alike but aren't related, so you can ship them and get them to boff like bunnies.
Clearly you don't get Google & Apple -- you don't get ANYONE and Apple (Apple is the Draco Malfoy of the technology world -- evil, ambitious, cunning but ultimately alone and a little sad and will never understand why everyone pretends to like them but really despises them).
Sony & Disney -- would make great films together.
Netflix & Disney -- would conquer the streaming market together but should never be allowed to get together because they would team up and conquer the world.
(Okay. I'm done).
That wasn't quite the point I was making :)
The person in the original post didn't mention combustion engines.
Feels like it is a little about me.
One could say the same about the TV, about the internet, about block cypher encryption, about the economy, about the local sewage system, about the local water and electricity systems, about all sorts of things that we rely on every day.
Oh then there's the boiler, the cooker, the microwave, the fridge, the telecommunications network..........
At what point do I go "huh -- maybe I should leave this up to people who went to school to learn about it" rather than trying to learn even the basics about everything that could go wrong in my life when there are CLEARLY people who know more about it than I do and are paid to know more about it than I do?
Hold on a moment -- I don't go around with a sandwich board on my chest or emailing every person I know.
I brought it up here because I thought it relevant to the topic. But if we were talking about hockey or baseball or what makes different clouds form at different levels then I wouldn't have mentioned it.
And pride? Again I just mentioned it because it's something relevant to the topic. I could easily have said I have no clue how nuclear reactors work or how to perform open heart surgery on a human being.
Would that have been boasting about my lack of knowledge? Or does not knowing about how to perform open heart surgery seem relatively normal?
I was just making a point that a lot of people don't bother with some knowledge because it is shit they don't need to know. And right now using AI tools is in that category for quite a large percentage of the population.
The tweet is nearly four years old, but I did check today because WOW would I have felt bad.
I want to say the poster was being sarcastic, but I am pretty sure most people will have forgotten why the Emmys were delayed in 2001 by now.
The only reason I know is because of Studio 60 -- it's a major plot point in one of the episodes :)
I realise this isn't really tumblr, but this entire stream just made me laugh so much I thought it deserved a wider audience.
I think it's a toss up between "dog" and "new" as to which is the most disturbing.
