So they're doing the same thing as that time they killed Edge and stretched its skin over chromium?

That guy has the worst presentation.

It varies with the source, but generally it's supposed to be a few things:

  • The blasters used in the movie era are... Basically unstoppable? They're the pinnacle of weapon tech as far as mass arming is concerned.
  • The armour is supposed to protect the stormtrooper against most "lower tech" weapons, think slug throwers, shrapnel from explosions, vibro-swords.
  • Light sabers OP.
  • You're supposed to be using droideka-style personal shields if you want to tank energy shots.

Of course, movies don't think about it too hard and just use them as mooks.

Less content, that is spread across multiple instances that can have duplicate communities.

You just can't keep doomscrolling here, the "active" search repeats all the time and the "best of the day" is like two pages.

And then there's specific communities that just... Stayed on Reddit.

In slav languages, you just go with how the neologism sounds. "Computer" ends in hard r, so it's masculine, for example.

Every once in a while there's going to be shit like with "coffee" though. It sounds neutral-gendered and is officially neutral-gendered, but there's been a big period when people believed it should be masculine because of the source language or some shit. Still a lot of people arguing about it.

The orient-ness of it all.

Well, I watched first few episodes before forming that opinion, I think it's just the usual "cynicism pushed to grotesque" thing many adult-oriented shows do that puts me off. But it's been a while and I don't really remember it well so I suppose another chance wouldn't hurt.

And thanks, I'll look into Strange New Worlds then.

Most comment-aware JSON parsers I've seen just use standard // to delineate comment lines.

Couldn't get into the Lower Decks because I am thoroughly tired of adult swim style of humour. But hey, people seem to like it and all power to them.

Don't really know what else is going on with Star Trek nowadays. Anything worth checking out?

So what happens if you turn a cow into gold, machine that gold into things, then cast dispel magic?

This has been a thing for years in Russia, what the heck?
