Oh shoot, I’d misremembered Charles Sheffield’s Heritage series as being by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven. Huge impossible megastructures in space left behind by unknowable beings who may just have had a goofy sense of humor.
Higher Education and the rest of that series hit me at just the right age.
Zero people in my personal life and one person in my professional life thinks that way
Like fuck we are.
I tried watching it with my kids. I phased it out because of Master Roshi. He normalizes some pretty gross behavior and not in a cautionary comeuppance kind of way.
“Okay kids, so the joke is that he’s an unrepentant asshole who enjoys constantly violating other people’s privacy in a sexual way, and they thought that it was funny for women to have to perpetually deflect unwanted advances while also being both sexy and demure at all times, also marital rape laws in Japan were only amended to cover all cases of non-consent instead of just violent ones in 2023. We’ll talk more about that last one when you’re older, the point is that you shouldn’t emulate his behaviour – you know what, let’s just watch anything else”.
No, I’m with you, that was my first thought
Drawing on the map for communication (and crude anatomical drawings) is such a nice touch.
The first game was single-player only, and I was pleasantly surprised when the new one had multiplay. It’s why I got back into it: jump onto a voice call and hang out with my friends in a game we’re all playing.
No no. There is realtime cooperative play. That was my first point.
There are leaderboards and daily challenges.
It’s a multiplayer game.
Not to legitimize the review bombers.
And it is cooperative.
Nah she laughed, it was funny
The new one is called Avatar: Seven Havens. It’s a third chapter in the series.
You know how I know you’ve never watched Fionna and Cake?
Oh. Have you seen Korra? These aren’t reboots or remakes. The new ones don’t erase the old ones, they build on them.
Right now.
Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake.
New Avatar: Last Airbender animated series in the works.
Knights of Guinevere, a show by Owl House showrunner Dana Terrace and crew, looks like it’s going to be fantastic.
Lower Decks is some of the best Star Trek out there.
We’re getting a Steven Universe spin-off based on Lars in his Space Pirate Captain Harlock era.
And this isn’t even touching on all the great stuff in other markets.
The second-best decade for cartoons was the one right before this one, and the third-best is the one before that, because they’re all building off of each other.
“oops sorry we switched back to manual approval mode because our invincible foolproof package management system pushed out malware again”
I fucking hate that so many of them are going to Ubuntu berceuse of course they are
But also, at the same time: I’m mad that the people who said “exercise gives you energy” were right.
And solved by a trans pharaoh
