Yeah if Shape of Water is the worst movie they've seen, I gotta assume they've seen about 10 movies total.

Even if it's slightly overrated, in the grand scheme of all movies that one is way above average.

Dunno if this is exactly the kind of thing you have in mind, but a person known as 'Yuvi' has been singlehandedly maintaining publicly available servers for the original Demon's Souls for about 4 years (the official servers shut down about 5 years ago).

Thanks to Yuvi, you can still play the original game with all online functionality, regardless of whether you're playing on PS3 or RPCS3.

My wife likes Rick and Morty more than I do, and I think it's a great show.

All the From Software RPGs since Demon's Souls work like that too. (Not the lack of menu, but the lack of an interactive save system because it's just constantly autosaving).

It's incredibly convenient to always be able to quit the game at any time and know you'll be in the exact place and position you were when you start up again. And it has the added benefit of preventing players from save scumming.

I want an AI based translation of all the Dead Sea Scrolls as long as we can remove the bias from the training data.

Emphasis mine. So then you don't want an AI based translation of all the Dead Sea Scrolls?

If we're thinking of the same clip, you're slightly misremembering it. The woman was insisting Obama was a Muslim, and that's what McCain was shutting down. But yes, the crowd booed him for clarifying that.

Best Android app for emulating DS in my experience is DraStic.

There was a brief period of time after I de-converted where I was glad there was a mainstream talk show host in America who is vocal about being nonreligious. But soon after that I learned he is a terrible representative of that identity, just as he is a terrible representative of any other identity he has.

In philosophy, what you're asking about is called the paradox of fiction.

Expression looks like Kirk doesn't want any damn vegetables.

e.g. means 'for example.' I think you were looking for i.e. (which means 'in other words' or 'to be specific').
