I mean if we’re being honest then pretty much all 90’s trek fits the description I’ve given.

Don’t get me wrong, in principle I completely agree that more episodes can mean more character development and that’s a good thing, but it’s not as simple as “more episodes = better”, there has to be intent and desire there to make good things rather than a specific number of things.

It used to be 26, so you could plan shows covering half a calendar year, then over the years it got cut down more and more. And it was probably not a bad thing because you typically had the same budget but meant you didn’t have to do a cheap clip show to pad out the numbers.

That’s also why you see a lot of shows with 13 episodes, that seemingly arbitrary number is “half” a traditional season. Even Netflix, despite not traditionally caring too much about seasonal stuff or drip feeding week to week, has a lot of 13 episode seasons.

I guess at some point people wanted even numbers (10) as 13 does feel a bit arbitrary even if there’s a reason for it.

Personally for me I’d rather have 10 great quality episodes than 26 episodes where maybe 8 of them are great, 10 are okay and the rest are utter dogshit. The problem is that even (what I consider) great shows like Strange New Worlds, despite only having those 10 episodes per season, still has the odd naff episode.

Yeah I didn’t get taught any of the stuff mentioned for me either.

One thing I did notice that wasn’t mentioned was the tongue map, that I was taught about in the 90’s - you know the one that said that your tongue has different areas for detecting different kinds of tastes - sweet at the front tip, sour at the back, that kind of thing. All bullshit.

Jfc, “at least it’s not as bad” is a horrendous excuse to endorse a government that has committed genocide.

How about you grow a spine and reject fascism properly instead of just rebounding from one authoritarian to another.

I’d sooner nail my bollocks to the mast of a sinking ship than give money to meta.

Up to GCSE advanced maths, if that means anything to you.

If it’s any consolation, I suck at trigonometry!

What’s wrong with probability? I found it once of the easier areas to learn, it’s just basic maths with different names.

From yes. Of no.

Nothing at all, but that last line, “When is my turn to have fun?” Is a bit transactional, like there’s an expectation and that’s the problematic part.

Someone once told me that the Chinese word for penguin translated to “business goose” and I cannot tell you how crestfallen I was when I looked it up and found out it wasn’t true.

Manchester got the Arndale out of it, so you’re welcome I guess.

The company I work for bright in new leadership about 8 months ago that is doing shit like this too. It’s pathetic.

Why the fuck is all of this only coming out now? We’ve known he was a rapist for so long but his idiot followers chose to ignore it. Why are media outlets only now pressing the story? What changed.

It can’t be just that trump decided to block the Epstein files, they could have just spun their wheels on that indefinitely. It feels like it’s also an effect but the cause is still unknown.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy nut, but it very much feels like someone somewhere is pulling the strings to make this happen and we’re no closer to figuring out who they are.

I appreciate that, but that isn’t really a solution for a saleable game. Concept art sure but that’s it.

Yewahh… How does that help?

Yeah I’ve never been able to draw in my entire life, believe me I tried. I have an eyesight impairment and that doesn’t help.

So I’m in two minds about this. I am a software engineer by trade and have an idea for a game I’d like to try making.

The problem is that I don’t even really know how to make games, not do I have any artistic abilities myself. I can’t afford to pay a load of artists for work for a game that might never be finished and might never make money.

So I’m stuck in this hard decision of do I try and make my game, invest a lot of money and potentially lose it all, or do I try and find a publisher who can front the money but lose creative control of my game? Or do I use AI to give me a head start in building something that I can use to garner interest in, in the hope that enough people like it that I can fund the development?

Essentially, AI offers me a way to create something that I would not otherwise be able to create and that’s really hard to accept.

I mean… They’re all kind of arbitrary in their own way, but one could argue that the excel time being invalid is actually useful because it serves as a null value - you know it’s incorrect, whereas on the other systems it could be the default date or it could be the actual date.

You know exactly what I’m referring to
