In the not-too-distant future
You can’t start a sentence with that and not expect me to get distracted thinking of a certain theme song.

It feels wrong to read manga left to right.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations" 5 weeks ago:
And now that I’ve had some more time to think: what was up with the modern music this season? It was distracting and took me out of the story every time.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations" 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, the whole discussion about Batel’s combined genetic memories just happened way too quickly. I might have been on board with the explanation, but it really took me out of the episode to see how they rushed through figuring out everything. No time for untangling a mystery, let’s dash off to the next bit.

I think you meant “bottom to top”. But yes, that does change the tone a bit.
- Comment on Space jazz music plays in background 1 month ago:
If you click the Legends button there’s info from the pre-Disney era. Apparently the term dates back to 1983.

- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 1 month ago:
It’s so weird to me that no one uses the term “slowdown” any more. Lag and latency meant networking delays back in the days you’re talking about. Not a complaint, just an observation that I’ve been wondering about for years.
But yeah, as others said, slowdown/lag was pretty common. I immediately think of the ninjas jumping out of the water in TMNT3, the beginning of Top Man’s stage in Mega Man 3, and the last boss of The Guardian Legend, but there were many more. Early 3d is shocking too, with more sub-30-fps games than you remember. Some called themselves at 20, even.

- Comment on How did that 22-year-old get on in the date his dad set him up with? 2 months ago:
Sadly it was much more tame: search engines. They’ve been crawling Lemmy for a couple years now. I remembered just enough to get hits on that post from a couple instances. Luckily one didn’t delete it when OP scrapped the original. I’m a bit curious myself why that is, but in any case it gives us a backup of the post.

- Comment on I LIKE CORN! 3 months ago:
Well that’s a mystery solved. There are road sections here that get foggier than the rest of the area. I’ve wondered about that for years and never would’ve guessed it’s the corn.

- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 4 months ago:
E.T.
Yes really. I played it all the time as a kid and didn’t think it was any more difficult or abstract than the rest of the 2600’s catalogue. Granted, we kept the manual, which made a huge difference in understanding and enjoying its bizarre logic, but still. I had no idea it was so hated until at least a decade later.
- Comment on whoever recommended Almost Human (2013) to me, thanks 4 months ago:
It did. Production order makes more sense, so for anyone else who needs it:
1 Pilot
2 You Are Here
3 Arrhythmia
4 Perception
5 Skin
6 Are you Receiving?
7 The Bends
8 Blood Brothers
9 Unbound
10 Simon Says
11 Disrupt
12 Beholder
13 Straw Man - Comment on The Faculty, any day 4 months ago:
I might swap in Explorers as the third to complete the “kids flying spaceships” theme. But BNI was a classic too.
- Comment on Are there any TV series you gave up on, or just forgot about due to insane gaps between seasons? 5 months ago:
Caprica, the 1-season Battlestar Galactica prequel. I liked it more than most people, but even I dropped off when they had a 6 month gap in the middle of the season.
Stranger Things. Season 4 took almost 3 years, during which time I had finally cancelled Netflix. I’m vaguely interested in watching the rest of the show, but not until it’s done.
Westworld. Never quite finished season 3, and having yet another 2 year wait (after similar gaps between earlier seasons) meant I stopped caring.

- Comment on What's with "*checks notes*" everywhere? 5 months ago:
That “modern” definition of literally is at least 250 years old. It wasn’t created by the internet, or even any living person.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows | Review Thread 6 months ago:
As far as completion: I managed to 100% Mirage in 50 hours, and part of that was spent aimlessly exploring. I’m sure it could be done faster. Of course, it’s also the weakest entry in the series in a while, and the easiest to skip.
I feel you on Valhalla. 300+ hours and I still had side stuff unfinished.

Whoa. I had given up on ever getting a third Styx. Great news.

“Was” young? He’s canonically 6 years old. Just wait until he really starts growing.

- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Starting with tomorrow’s release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PC, we’re working to add more benefits to playing with an account for PlayStation Network. The Last of Us Part II Remastered (coming April 3, 2025), in addition to God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, will all soon be adding in-game content unlocks for PlayStation Network account users.
“Working to” and “soon be adding” makes it sound like they haven’t gone live with the patches for those games quite yet.
