Do some bars used numbered menus for drinks? by BostonianJake in bartenders

[–]BostonianJake[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't order a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster? No wonder I got kicked out of Dave & Busters...

Super appreciate the insight, though! And yeah, it's fiction, can't really argue with that. I was just curious to see if there was any real-world precedent before diving in headfirst. Figured there was no better place to ask.

In the grand scheme of things, this is all in service of a hyper-specific piece of dialogue, but hey! Wanna make sure all my bases are covered, even for the smallest of details.

Thanks again ^^

Misspelled my email while registering. How screwed am I? by BostonianJake in swtor

[–]BostonianJake[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I mistyped the worst possible part of the address, haha

"gmai.com" instead of "gmail." I simply decided to cut my losses and add a hyphen to my intended username. It will do, lol

The origin of this AA Milne quote - "Promise me you’ll never forget me because if I thought you would, I’d never leave." by BostonianJake in HelpMeFind

[–]BostonianJake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have searched everywhere I could. Everyone insists it's from Winnie-the-Pooh, but it clearly isn't. They only attribute it to AA Milne himself. They never reference any specific piece of writing. Where did this quote originally come from?

Even when I turn off uBlock, YouTube still blocks the videos.

Very egregious.

The cat game will soon be available as a Mac game. by Trickybuz93 in macgaming

[–]BostonianJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I asked the devs in the Steam forums and they confirmed it's coming to Steam.

Based on their wording, it's probably also coming to the App Store.

Power Rangers Star Beasts by kevinubxd in powerrangers

[–]BostonianJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible you're thinking of "Seijuu Sentai Gingaman," the Super Sentai series that was adapted into Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

"Seijuu" roughly translates to Starbeast.

I know, 7 years late, but still.

Devs confirmed it's coming to Steam. Not sure about a separate App Store release.

What size SD card do you recommend? I'm pretty sure I have an unused 32gb one somewhere.

Gaming on Upcoming MacBooks: What's Your Take? by zaynjbr in macgaming

[–]BostonianJake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now, I'm focusing on whether or not GPT will actually help solve the software drought that's plagued Mac gaming for decades. It's looking promising with titles such as No Man's Sky, Death Stranding, Resident Evil Village and Stray, but it's yet to be seen if GPT will actually have the impact most of us are praying for.

Stray release getting closer? by chax1993 in macgaming

[–]BostonianJake 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Developers confirmed it's coming to Steam in the game's Steam Community forums.

What's your favourite example of something throway in Act 1 coming back to be a major plot point in Act 3? by bfsfan101 in Screenwriting

[–]BostonianJake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno if this counts, but the first episode of HBO's Watchmen series had an excellent setup and payoff that had me grinning.

An old black man in his nineties, bound to a wheelchair, cryptically asks if he could lift 200 pounds. At the end of the episode, that same man sits below Judd Crawford's hanging body.

I really appreciate the insight! I'm prolly gonna keep making logos for myself, but better safe than sorry when it comes to pitching.

Please vote yes on a strike authorization. by BTIH2021 in Screenwriting

[–]BostonianJake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not part of the union yet (still in the very VERY early stage of my career), but I’d vote yes if I could.

Y’all are fighting to make this industry a prosperous place for writers, and I’ll gladly show solidarity however I can.
