In case you’re unaware, that’s literally why they took to calling it that.

Technically correct, easiest to market back when people were first starting to have doubts about setting stuff we found underground on fire.

Using the word “natural” was very much a deliberate choice.

The word you’re looking for is “fanaticism”. And few consider it positive.

Fanaticism and loyalty are essentially the same thing. You pick the word to describe the same behaviour, depending on context. You call someone a fanatic when it is a bad thing. You call someone loyal, when it is a good thing.

Loyalty/fanaticism is trust+commitment. Children taking care of their parents as they age is a form of loyalty, and few would argue that’s a bad thing.

Yes.

These two characters (siblings) are always depicted with a simple yellow triangle for their cowlick/ahoge, hence they are often called the doritos.

What games are you thinking of?

Fallen Order is 2019 and Survivor is 2024. I’m specifically commenting on recent EA games.

Star Wars Jedi is the title of this most recent series by Respawn, currently with two entries.

Well, they were engaged.

Then Pocket had to go off and get assassinated, completely ruining Mina’s life. Absolutely valid reason to hate him forever (according to her).

It’s kinda implied that Fairfax has gone insane.

Pocket doesn’t exactly speak kindly about him, but at some point Fairfax and Dynamo were on well enough terms for Dynamo to become Arins godfather. And in interactions Dynamo says he would unconditionally support Arin, while implying that hes not on speaking terms with Farifax anymore.

Yep. Deadlock fanart goldmine.

Sorry but a strange magical girl already came in and purchased our entire stock (one Shamiko).

It’s really just a digital way to do the equivalent of printing the document, signing it, and scanning it again. Which is also accepted in a lot of situations.

The visual signature part of a “digital signature” is purely cosmetic. The actual signature is the entire file being cryptographically signed using a private key you possess, which any recipient can then verify came from you by using a public key.

This is the case for all government issue signatures (like when using the private key inside a chipped government id card) or any other signature created using a key pair from an issuing authority.

If its not a digital signature in this way, the other way is literally just an image. It can be a vector or an raster, or a straight up scan of a physically signed document. It’s just a picture. It has no digital verification whatsoever.

I’m referring to the way the game lets you earn everything. There is no upsell after you buy the game. If you want something from the game, you get it by playing.

OMFG.

Gemini is neat, but it SSUUUUUUUUCCCKKS at being a voice assistant.

It will frequently produce a fucking essay in response to being asked to turn the lights on or off.

I just gave it a go again, 30% of the time it pretends to do what you ask without actually doing it. 20% of the time it flat-out refuses while never failing to mention that I really should enable gemini activity tracking. 40% of the time is claims this functionality does not exist, even though it was given the ability to “ask assistant” to do things only it can do (like identify music by listening to it). 10% of the time it will successfully hand off to assistant, which will then instantly do as asked.

Worse.

It will fucking lie and say it set a timer or reminder, and if you ask it “wtf” in response when it clearly didn’t (if you notice), it’ll fucking explain it’s just roleplaying at being a voice assistant.

The Star Wars Jedi games are genuinely good self-contained no bs single player games.

I can’t comment on anything else.

Whim? She meticulously planned and personally orchestrated the genocide of her own people.

She does not operate on whims. She has only ever had ONE goal. To spend eternity with her beloved pet.

Yea. They grow from seeds, then uproot themselves and walk around.

Those are hattifatteners. Don’t you have those where you live?

They are sentient plants that feed on lightning storms.

She’s never met Dracula in Deadlock.

She was betrothed to Aryn Fairfax (Pocket) and promised a life in the limelight. She was basically raised for this very purpose, so her parents could have their family joined with Fairfax (basically magic Rockefeller industrial-complex family of America).

When Aryn was asassinated (failed, Aryn actually just went into hiding taking on the name “Pocket” ) by order of their own father, the marriage obviusly fell through.

A spoiled brat, she made the lives of her parents a living hell for “failing” to provide for her, so in an attempt to sate her desire for glory, they promise her eternal youth and unlimited power

They arrange to have her become a vampire (something the rich in Deadlock can apparently “just do”).

She’s still not happy, though. As a vampire, she’s basically the lowest of the low. In their social circles, she is less than a child. She was young as a human. As a vampire she’s considered dirt.

Made absolutely livid by this chain of percieved injustice, Mina is participating in the ritual with the aim to become Viscount of New York, and rule vampire society as she sees fit.
