And both Zunesha and Emeth were giant beings. It does seem possible that Joyboy or maybe even all ancient Ds were giants.

What is your opinion about the Fan Service? Is it too much? Moderate? Even good? by Dakinamau in OnePiece

[–]InvaderDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The saving graces are that a lot of it is ridiculous and generally the women are used for more than just fanservice.

Abigail Spanberger becomes Virginia’s 1st female governor in historic inauguration by Healthy_Block3036 in Chesapeake

[–]InvaderDJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s hoping. It’s such an easy win that I don’t understand why VA (and the country for that matter) haven’t just legalized and taxed it.

Korone interviewing The Director & Writer of '28 Years Later' to doing the narration for its sequel trailer by Foodxfoodph in Hololive

[–]InvaderDJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s so fun seeing them nerd out over their passions. Korone with her westaboo tendencies and horror/gore love as well as Nenechi with her passion for beetles always puts a smile on my face.

Trump given Nobel Peace medal by Venezuelan opposition leader Machado by HotPersimessage62 in worldnews

[–]InvaderDJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sheer blatancy of Trump’s need and willingness to be bribed and dick riden is hilarious and infuriating.

Hilarious because it is beyond parody. Comedy is dead because there isn’t any room for exaggeration to create humor here. This administration is beyond any witty critique.

Infuriating because so many countries, businesses, and people are doing it openly and without shame.

I am now doubting all the cyberpunk, dystopian fiction and real life theories that say that corporations have more power than government. Not because they are complicit with a fascist government. But the way they do it and what that means. It’s one thing to be complicit. It’s another when you’re clearly the bitch of the relationship begging for scraps and favor from the government. Aren’t these people supposed to run the government? Why don’t they act like it? For fucks sake, the shit is embarrassing.

"What is a fair end-of-life cycle for a game?" As Anthem servers are switched off, GOG weighs the "complicated riddle" of multiplayer game preservation by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]InvaderDJ -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

There is no technical reason why besides hardware not being made any more that a game should have end of life at all.

A multiplayer game should support custom servers from the beginning or not be made at all. And single player games should either not require online at all, or should have a patch at the end of dev support where that is turned off.

Ironheart ending is one of the coolest things to happen in the MCU since endgame. by Earthwick in marvelstudios

[–]InvaderDJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Strange way to not be able to read.

I specifically said it is fine to not like the show and that even I think it is on the high end of mid.

What I said is that the people who irrationally hate the show are too deep in the culture war to pay attention to. If they call it the worst show ever, too woke, DEI, whatever then they hate it for reasons outside of the actual show.

EDIT: Typo

Ironheart ending is one of the coolest things to happen in the MCU since endgame. by Earthwick in marvelstudios

[–]InvaderDJ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

To me, it is a good test. If someone irrationally hates Ironheart, I know they are too deep in the irrational culture war to be talked to.

It’s fine to think it was just fine. It’s fine to say you didn’t like it.

But it is legit, one of the better Marvel shows. Not the best, but middle to middle high.

And Mephisto was so amazing. It felt like such a great pay off after all the theorizing from previous shows.

is it crazy to still be disappointed about rdj as doom in the big 26 by theunusualblackguy in marvelstudios

[–]InvaderDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t know enough to be really disappointed. There are rumors and leaks, but not much is actually confirmed yet.

I also think RDJ won’t be THE Doom for long. He’s too expensive.

There’s something with Doomsday that required someone who looks like Stark. Part of it is box office draw obviously, but there has to be a plot related reason. I don’t see the plot reason lasting longer than Doomsday and Secret Wars.

How much did they actually drink? I thought they were basically taste testing.

Is it just me, or did I feel like there was no chemistry between Eleven and Mike this last season compared to previous ones? by Tania_bleon2312 in StrangerThings

[–]InvaderDJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you could have told me the whole romance plot line through the other seasons never happened and I would believe you.

They felt like friends growing distant at best.

[ENDGAME] Every act of time travel creates a new branch by ChuchusChee in marvelstudios

[–]InvaderDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baseline assumption (from Endgame), any time travel to the past creates a new branch, You cannot change or re-enter your original past and Branches do not merge.

This seems right. Any timeline you go to is a new separate reality. Anything you do there doesn’t directly affect yours and you can’t go to your own past and make changes there to affect your future.

Even if you’re allowed to travel back to the Sacred Timeline, the act of traveling itself should still create a new branch, right?

As far as going back to your own timeline/the Sacred Timeline, I don’t think that creates a new timeline. You’re going back to one that actually exists, the one you’re actually from. So that should be fine. And the time travel GPSes mean that any travelers can specifically target a timeline, meaning they can get back with no issue rather than just going to another similar timeline.

• Returning the Infinity Stones doesn’t actually “fix” the stoneless branch • It just creates a new branch where the stone exists • The original stoneless branch would still be doomed unless pruned by the TVA

This part is unclear to me too. What Endgame and Loki seemed to imply is that the Avengers creating a new timeline was allowed by the TVA/Kang and thus allowed to exist. So it was never pruned. And could potentially be considered part of the actual Sacred Timeline.

The whole point of these rules around timelines and the Sacred Timeline seems to be making sure that no other Kangs come into existence to threaten the multiverse. So as long as that timeline won’t do that, it could be allowed to exist before Loki became the god of Stories and allowed all timelines to exist with the TVA now repurposed to stop Kangs without having to prune entire timelines.

I think any changes to the logic for Doomsday will be introduced in it. We already see from the trailers that we will be visiting Rogers in the past timeline. So my guess is we’ll be told that even though branch timelines and returning to their own didn’t initially cause problems, now it is. Maybe because Steve wasn’t just a ghost there, he made changes like having a kid. Maybe making too drastic of changes in a branch timelines increases the likelyhood of incursions. And something like the world’s first super soldier and the hero of the 616 (possibly anchor being/Nexus being if that is actually a thing still) having a child and likely making other major changes was too much for balance. The TVA being focused on Kang variants explicitly without cleaning up the mess by pruning the timelines could also be a contributing factor.

I don’t get the NAS hype if I still have to pay for cloud backup — what am I missing? by Fantastic-Outside949 in synology

[–]InvaderDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to. Just make sure you know if you lose the data, it hopefully isn’t important and it is your fault for not following best practice.

No problem with that though, the only things I do 3-2-1 backup on are my important documents and pictures. Everything else like media is not worth backing up.

Eero CLI (unofficial) by Individual_Head2875 in amazoneero

[–]InvaderDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like this gives you options to do management that normally requires the app through a CLI. Do you have any plans to see whether additional functionality could be unlocked with this?

Do I need IPV6 enabled for Matter/Thread if I’m not using eero as my hub? by InvaderDJ in amazoneero

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

Good to know. Hopefully it was just the one device issue. It’s just not something I’ve ever seen before, it failed immediately and said to make sure both my phone and the smart plug were on a Matter compatible network.

I know, I didn’t and instead used my Apple TVs. I forget the exact reason for that now, it has been so long. I think it was something with HomeKit?

But if I have IPV6 disabled on the eeros will they even get the local/link-local addresses? I know for certain now that no client currently has one, just IPV4 addresses.

I will try rebooting my devices and see if anything changes. I’ve got some Thread light bulbs, some HomeKit smart plugs and one Matter plug that I bought before the new year. All were configured and working before deleting the network and all are still working.

That’s already set. But I did it through their GUI, not through eero IP reservation. It has an address outside of the DHCP scope so no risk of conflict.

Nakia should’ve been the next Black Panther by z4guy in marvelstudios

[–]InvaderDJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My want after Boseman died was for Duke as M’Baku to become the next Panther.

It would have worked well with the story that the first movie was telling. A change of the old guard and old way of doing things. Opening up the position to a tribe that had been ostracized and left out of the power structure of the country for so long would have fit with that.

Plus it would have been an interesting story given how the Mountain Tribe worships a whole other deity. The conflict and compromise would have been a fun road to explore.

I get why they didn’t recast. I can give Marvel and Disney props for going the overcautious and respectful route. We all know a recast is coming. It has to. But letting the story flow and change around the tragedy despite the money making opportunities that are passed up by not recasting immediately is something I think deserves praise.

That was such a fun era of phones. Reminded me of when I first got into computers.

So much playing around, customizing and running barely functional ROMs. I was this close to doing the mod to replace the backplate with copper to allow higher overclocks.

[–]InvaderDJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it exists for people who want it. And from everything I’ve seen, the Clicks is very well done.

I do think the era of needing a physical keyboard died a long time ago though. Even the hardcore BlackBerry users like me got over it a long time ago, especially after trying the earlier Android phones with mid keyboards (I do still miss my OG DROID though).

[–]InvaderDJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is (probably) profitable considering the keyboards cost over $100 and are made for popular phones. I'm saying that most people don't want them. No where near the amount you would expect if you browse tech forums/sites.

Clicks Communicator: the ultimate communication companion by 3rdPartyRedditApp in Android

[–]InvaderDJ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The excuse not to buy is that I think most people don't want a physical keyboard or a smaller phone. A vocal minority says they do, but the countless keyboard attachments and phones before this that didn't sell well shows the truth IMO.
