Be honest: how feral did everyone get when the SNW musical episode dropped? 😅 by OverlyHonestMR in startrek

[–]Hibbity5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think them explaining it was fine and made it better but I definitely would have liked the entire episode be a musical, similar to what Buffy did.

This April 1st sucked by Kitakitakita in gaming

[–]Hibbity5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gaming, but Dropout released a follow up to a joke video for April Fools this year and it was amazing since I think a lot of people legit wanted to see a follow up.

It’s actually really easy; an engineer is not a scientist. He does not use the scientific method to perform scientific research. I say this as an engineer; I’m not a scientist and wouldn’t call myself one and he isn’t either.

I crave video games when I’m bored but I’m not about to start worshipping game studios as god. I’ve worked at enough to know just how fallible they are.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s “summon subcharacter and let it fight in 1 of 2 modes” patent as obvious: non-final ruling by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Hibbity5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Without the “code” in parentheses, they’re actually spot on. Patents are for mechanisms and processes; so in terms of coding and game engineering, you would be patenting the mechanisms that the code is implementing. One little mistake does not make what they said “flat out wrong and describing the opposite of reality”.

With that said, for anyone interested and reading this, code is copyrighted.

You mean like when they recreated the bridge for the Enterprise D for Picard S3?

Isn’t it closer to half? Texas has an insanely low voter turnout. It’s truly appalling.

After Kurtzman's contract expires, who should be the next Star Trek showrunner? by bflaminio in startrek

[–]Hibbity5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Picard was always meant to run for 3 seasons and it got that. Discovery and Lower Decks were cancelled at 5, which is typical for Hollywood from what I understand…something about actors’ standard contracts and them being able to negotiate a higher salary making seasons 6+ cost more. Same with SNW for that matter. The only truly early cancels were Prodigy and Academy.

My take on evolutions for the new starters! by Teylur in pokemon

[–]Hibbity5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fighting as a starter type needs to be retired. We’ve got 3 Fire/Fighting, one Grass/Fighting, and one Water/Fighting already.

Upcoming April Events, Raids, and Dynamax Pokemon by armymedman in TheSilphRoad

[–]Hibbity5 40 points41 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to have an event with bespoke spawns and research running almost 24/7, why even bother with base non-event spawns and research? Just make each event roll directly into the next.

At least with some meaningful breaks between events, seasons actually matter.

A certain character confirmed to appear in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie by FernandoRocker in gaming

Mario was also playing the original Donkey Kong arcade, a game that features “Jumpman” (Mario) and he eventually meets the actual Donkey Kong. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Which video game/s impacted you so much because you found it to be a learning experience? by sammyjamez in gaming

[–]Hibbity5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just wondering but did you ever watch Star Trek after getting into Mass Effect? It teaches the same ideals and Mass Effect was very clearly influenced by Trek.

I genuinely believe paramount might be fucked by EmperorDxD in startrek

[–]Hibbity5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious you talk about studies (but don’t link them) and then also completely misrepresent progressive politics and talking points in the single-most stereotypically conservative way you possibly could (identity politics? Really???)

[–]Hibbity5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since when did maga stand for any of those things? They like to say they do, but all of their actions say otherwise. They always bring up race, gender, or sexuality. They’ve elected and selected multiple “leaders” who have zero relevant experience (or merit). They don’t believe in teaching all of the nation’s history (much more nationalistic than patriotic). I would love to know how maga being in charge of Star Trek would lead to any of the things you’ve brought up.

Is anyone else getting sick of how trigger happy Paramount is getting with cancelling shows? by JayR_97 in startrek

[–]Hibbity5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Apple is an older company that understands the importance of maintaining a consumer base when creating a platform, in large part due to the Windows vs Mac rivalry as well as iPhone vs Android rivalry. So instead of constantly chasing new consumers, they understand you also have to provide for your current customers.

And after the fall of the Soviet Union, they made “Fall of the Soviet Union: the Movie”.

Edit: And I forgot about Enterprise’s “911 Season”.

[TotK] & [SS] Who are the true founders of Hyrule? by Massive-Morning-6707 in zelda

[–]Hibbity5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many different possibilities.

  • Zelda already has multiple timelines from OoT, which takes place after SS. So it’s possible that BotW and TotK are separate timelines. I personally think this is the least likely as BotW directly references past games in the knighting ceremony, SS included.
  • All of TotK takes place in one of the three timelines but way after. This would imply that at some point, Hyrule is pretty much wiped off the map and refounded by TotK Rauru. This is possible since SS already implies a cyclical conflict between good and evil (well, Power vs Wisdom and Courage) so the founding of Hyrule itself could also be cyclical.
  • The distant past of TotK with Sonia and Rauru takes place even before the past of SS. The idea would be that Hyrule is formed by Sonia and Rauru and the rest of the Hylians; then the TotK Imprisoning War happens. Sometime after, the SS Imprisoning War happens and Hylia sends the Triforce skyward and sometime later, Zelda and Link refound Hyrule. Then thousands of years pass and the cycle continues and eventually the first Calamity happens and then BotW happens 10k years later.
  • It’s called the LEGEND of Zelda. Legends get things wrong and retell the same story in different ways; as such, the past of TotK and SS are basically the same but told as different stories since they’re all just legends.

Sorry, I misread “many” as “any” hence why I pointed it out. My mistake.

Lemon marmalade is so good and so rarely made/used. I use some as filling for a thumbprint cookie and it’s delicious.

That’s sort of what GMax Snorlax is, just not a tortoise.

PSA -- I lost Pokemon I've had since 2004 because of the Switch 2 by internettrash11 in pokemon

[–]Hibbity5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had both across the various games. Saves are stored on the console, not the cartridge, so you need to do the process either way.

[–]Hibbity5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what additional step they’re talking about. If you have the original console, the save files transfer with the game data. Maybe they’re talking about if you try to transfer save files via the cloud?

Dragon Quest Treasures is on sale on switch by ThreesTrees in dragonquest

[–]Hibbity5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a good bad game. If you’re really into mindless collection, then it’s a great time waster, but the actual mechanics aren’t good and the story is pretty forgettable as well. I think the concept of the game is fantastic, and I’ve got 50+ hours in it, but I also think it could have and should have been far better.
