You might want to update your OP then cos that’s not how it comes across.

Like in Discworld!

Honestly, I'd love to get these books ... but international shipping is so prohibitive now. These days, I either buy stuff locally or I just don't buy it at all.

They seem to be a bit confused as to who actually bought the game, though. I got an email with that offer that assumed I’d bought the first book. I had registered my interest, but when I saw how expensive the book plus international shipping was going to be, I didn’t actually buy it. And yet...

To build on this, Neverwinter will have societal prejudice against people from Luskan, regardless of species, due to the long history of bad blood between the two cities. Hate the Luskanite because he’s a pirate who’d rob his own mother blind not because he’s an orc or a tiefling or a wererat.

In your OP, you asked for people’s thoughts on whether AI programming is a problem. You didn’t specify you only wanted people’s anti-AI thoughts. 🤷🏻 I have my reservations about AI as well. I worry about the ethics of it, and I worry about the environmental damage the massive data centers are...

Here’s a feel-good story involving AI: How eight seconds of scratchy audio from a VHS tape gave a mum back her voice This lady has regained a version of her voice thanks to AI after losing it to a disease years ago.

Sure! I’ve always loved snow peas but not because I feel posh eating them! I just like the crunch and the flavor. (I also dislike regular peas and have no interest in ever trying mushy ones.) Anyway, that’s getting rather off-topic! Sorry!

As an aside, I'd never heard the term "mangetout" before Wet Leg introduced me to it with a song by that name on their new album. (Despite NZ being more British than the USA, they call them snow peas here, just like they do back home ...)

I don't know what that means ... but I'm guessing if I play New Vegas I will? EDIT: Watching the teaser again. In the scene where Lucy wakes up in that room, there's not just a Giddyup Buttercup by the bed, there's a box of Sugar Bombs cereal on the desk! It looks just like the boxes you can...

Are there any super mutants in New Vegas? So that guy who says he knows everything is in the New Vegas game? Gotcha. Maybe when I'm finished my latest Fallout 4 playthrough, I'll redownload New Vegas and give it another go.

Wowzers! There's a lot to unpack there. At 2:07, there are multiple BoS airships! IIRC, if you ask Captain Kells in Fallout 4 if the BoS has other airships, he says there were some more rudimentary ones out on the west coast years ago. I guess they're still in operation. Or else the east coast...

Mind you, I have not seen Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection. I have also not seen the AvP movies (except for clips on YouTube). As you probably know from other threads, I'm not a big fan of the original Alien. I do, however, like Aliens and Alien: Covenant, and I can sit through Prometheus. I'm...

I wonder if something will happen with Ortegas' brother at some point. They can't have introduced him just so he could annoy his sister by flirting with Uhura, and because he's making a documentary of multiple Enterprise missions, he is going to be a recurring character, even if he's not in...

I can't find it in any of the 3.5e books I've looked in. I'm so sure it's in one of them, but I'm just not finding it. I suppose it's possible it only ever appeared in Dragon Magazine ...

I don’t have the book in front of me, but IIRC there was a caption … it just wasn’t a very enlightening one. The exact context was left to the viewer’s imagination. EDIT: According to artist Jeff Carlisle's website, he painted that picture of Lidda for the "Class Acts: Body Modifications"...

She got the trauma in ep 1. We saw her experiencing some PTSD in ep 2. She endangered her crewmates by deliberately disobeying an order (for which she received a suspension) in ep 3. Number One recommended she be un-suspended early in ep 4. That’s four in a row out of six episodes. Ortegas is...

And I'm saying that I don't agree that it has. Just because it doesn't come up every episode doesn't mean it's been dropped. La'an's Gorn-related trauma didn't come up every episode in the two prior seasons.

It’s not a matter of how much time has passed. Number One tells M’Benga that, because everyone is “pulling an all-nighter” during the neutron star mission, she “even recommended” to Pike that he reinstate Ortegas. M’Benga asks if Number One trusts her, and she says yes. (Ep 4, just before the 19...

They didn’t even leave her hand mangled. I guess M’Benga can regrow fingers more easily than eyes!
