  • Reminds me of Morrowind's directions, with the frequent east-west mixups, and sporadic north-south mixups.

  • Bonzalez at least looks like an English->Japanese->English transliteration problem.

  • Japan as a whole utterly fails to comprehend what nuns are and it's kind of hilarious when it pops up.

  • Your eyes also don't apply it very consistently to two dimensional objects, like the image on a screen.

  • Try this - We're humans, but Jesus is an aasimar. Depending on what rule set he's on, he's probably something like a divine soul sorcerer, too.

  • Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. It's the only game in the Carrier Command-like subgenre of RTS that isn't part of the Carrier Command series. Shockingly well written, too, for what it is.

  • The new EU is actually better about this than the old EU. By the time A New Hope starts, there are just four surviving members of the Jedi Order; Yoda, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Ezra. Ahsoka is thought to be dead and went to ground even better than Yoda and Obi after Malachor, and Ezra is in another galaxy. Ahsoka also isn't a Jedi anymore and is developing a distinct philosophy.

    They're also banking on having been wrong about the Chosen One, believing it's one of the twins instead of Anakin. That they misinterpretted the prophecy completely is, of course, out of the question.

  • Yoda actually did have contact with both Kanan and Ezra a few times. It's quite possible that he sensed Kanan's death and was aware Ezra was out of the galaxy.

  • Aside from the Wisconsin part, that describes most cities.

  • Which claimants are you thinking of? I know the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire both claimed to be continuations of the Roman Empire. I don't think Italy ever claimed to be the new Rome, somewhat ironically, and I think Germany and France had stopped claiming to be Rome as well.

  • At the point the western half of the Roman Empire collapsed they were using a system with two emperors due to the massive amount of territory being impractical for one man to govern, senate or no. Only one of the imperial titles imploded, with the other going along just fine for centuries before that part of the empire also started to collapse.

  • It helps to remember that Cleopatra was both from a completely different incarnation of Egypt and that she was the last independent pharaoh before Egypt became a Roman province.

  • So you can't weaponize the courts against your political opponents.

  • Dude, this isn't really a hypothetical. We've already seen this exact tactic get used in places like Russia. You just bring bullshit charges against whoever opposes you. The veracity of the charges is completely irrelevant.

  • NT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.

  • Dude, a massive chunk of this website is in favor of complete legalization. While I am also assuming their position on drugs, given where we're at, my assumption is much more likely to be correct.

  • Gwen Stacey died of whiplash when Spidey tried to catch her with a web shot and she stopped too fast, snapping her neck.

  • I don't think it's for wheelchairs. If it was, the corner of the table wouldn't be cut off. I mean, where would that person put their food? I think it's probably to get more room to maneuver between tables.
