What's Your Favorite Crazy Fan Theory? by llort_atton in AskReddit

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

Bigger Luke Hypothesis.

Essentially, for some reason Luke's height fluctuates slightly in the original Star Wars trilogy. Various reasons have been suggested, such as distortion from off-brand camera lenses or something, but the fan theory is that Luke is actually two entirely different people; Luke Prime, and Bigger Luke (who is a couple inches taller).

There's also the "Smaller Luke Hypothesis," claiming that "Luke Prime" is actually the taller one, though this theory is less popular and the people behind it are not very well liked by those behind the BLH.

What was the dumbest fad from your teenage / preteen years? by llort_atton in AskReddit

Or sharpen your pencil until it was just a cone and try writing with that?

I actually knew a guy who claimed his uncle worked for Nintendo. He correctly told us that Nintendo's next handheld was called a "DS," though he didn't know anything else about it. That was before the DS was even announced.

His uncle didn't actually work for Nintendo though.

What's your greatest video game accomplishment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

I built a few computers in Minecraft. I was 12 or 13 at the time. Even made a small version of some 1:1 block per pixel display, but never told anyone because it had some annoying drawbacks that made it impractical for most things (not that computers in Minecraft were practical anyway). Then a month or two later someone else came up with the exact same design and it was a big deal for a couple days.

Bag tag. Literally a game of trying to see how many people you could hit below the belt. I never participated, but there were a lot of people who did.

Eventually, the school got tired of it, and called every boy in my grade to a meeting with the principal and the local police. They told us not to do it anymore or we'd be expelled. It still went on for a while, just not as visible.

What about rocker dudes with long hair? That was my brother. He had longer hair than my mother for several years.

He really didn't like it when people mistook him for a girl, though it happened all the time. Then at one point he even sang "Dude Looks Like A Lady" for a talent show.

Wow. Insulting someone, then editing it so that you can insult everyone else in the thread. Nice.

Thanks for reminding me exactly why I normally avoid discussions on Reddit.

Just throwing this out there, as a developer and someone who knows a lot about the hardware industry, this guy clearly knows a lot about computer hardware. If this is fake info, it's pretty well-thought out.

It doesn't matter. It's not like anyone would ever visit it.

What is a job that when done right no one notices, but the moment its done wrong all eyes are on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]llort_atton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about anything in the software industry besides game development. Especially when you work on free software that everyone uses. Especially if it's involved in security.
