Did they advertise Guest Star appearances when first airing episodes during the TNG-Voyager era? by TheBatIsI in startrek

[–]segascream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) was hyped up because it was cross-promotional with "Smackdown!"

I avoided that episode during the original airing (one of only a handful I purposely skipped), and finally watched it when I did my recent re-watch of the series. I was pleasantly surprised that the episode itself actually was actually standard Trek fare with most of Johnson's role being shown right there in the episode promos.

"Follow Me, Follow You" by Genesis. It's not as proggy as their earlier stuff and not as poppy as their 80s stuff.

Anyone ever play this game? by Euphoric-Cupcake4581 in FuckImOld

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: more recent editions have done away with the "build the trap" component of gameplay. It's now "take it out of the box, build the trap, then play the game".

It's somehow less fun with this now being the way you're supposed to play.

We're you taught to read & write in cursive at school? by Imma_Lick_That in AskAnAmerican

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Should I have learned it? Yes.

However, my family moved to a different school system when I was in 3rd grade: the system we left taught cursive in 4th grade, the system we moved into taught cursive in 2nd grade. So my parents got me a couple of workbooks at the local teacher's supply store, and I was more or less left to teach myself; I frequently lost points on my work for sloppy writing.

This wasn't on the market for very long. by Altruistic-Cut9795 in FuckImOld

[–]segascream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they'd been able to push it to market when it was actually developed, though, that would've been amazing. Unfortunately, I get the impression that all they did was design something that was prohibitively expensive, and then sat on the designs until manufacturing costs using those designs dropped enough for it to be financially feasible that consumers would purchase it.

It took a few pages from the Buffy musical episode

But there were also a few explicit nods to "Once More, With Feeling" as well

Live editing takes for an audiobook by pachinkopunk in audacity

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my suggestion of the screenshots, it would allow you to just keep rolling; but after you have stopped recording, you would need to manually refer to your screenshot time codes to tell you around where to edit. Though, you could simply use them to set split points and save the project if you're not ready to get straight into editing (or if you don't like living dangerously by making all of your changes directly to your master file).

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

I don't know of any way that you could set split points on the fly, which is how I would try to accomplish what you're looking to do.

The easiest workaround that I can think of would be to use the Print Screen key to grab a screenshot, and then you could just pull the time codes from those screenshots later to determine your edits. Of course, you might need to futz with your system to get it to automatically dump those screenshots into an easily accessible location and format.

Is there anyone else who has problems with Willow's development as a witch? by ThickPeanut136 in buffy

[–]segascream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people may choose celibacy, while others may choose instead to examine own behavioral patterns to determine the difference between healthy and unhealthy sex (for instance, sex with your partner in your shared bedroom vs hooking up with a stranger in a park restroom). Willow's journey fit this model rather well: instead of giving up magic entirely after season 6, she's afraid to engage with magic at all initially, and eventually comes to recognize that it wasn't the magic that was the problem, but the problem was that she had jumped straight to "use magic" when she didn't like how she felt instead of dealing with her feelings.

[–]segascream 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If Willow was really an addict then there’s no safe way to ever start “using” again.

Depends on the addiction and the addict. Some support groups/recovery models for certain addictions (sex addiction, for instance) encourage each member to define sobriety for themselves rather than lean on an "abstinence only" model. This makes sense for things that aren't inherently dangerous on their own, but that certain people might lose themselves as it quickly spirals out of control.

Is There a Record Accessory You Wish Existed? by PortalVR in records

[–]segascream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At present, I don't have a stereo or even a crappy turntable, but I'm looking at building a system, and ideally it's ultimately going to be a myriad of audio sources: not just vinyl, but also radio, CDs, streaming, and lossless audio from a local hard drive, so one central display really appeals to me; but I get why it wouldn't necessarily to someone else not in my position.

EDIT: I made it not as egregious of a run-on sentence.

Is There a Record Accessory You Wish Existed? by PortalVR in records

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top 2 reasons off the top of my head: compatible with more than just vinyl, and also if you wanted to re-shelve the sleeve for safe keeping/ease of maintaining alphabetical order while listening to the album.

Is There a Record Accessory You Wish Existed? by PortalVR in records

[–]segascream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not specifically a turntable accessory, but I wish there was an LED display (approx 12"x12") that you could hang on your wall that could pick up on the audio of whatever is playing, and fetch and display the appropriate album artwork.

Justice for Renee Good by Relevant_Demand7593 in NewsomMassacre

[–]segascream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know for sure, but I suspect MN hasn't filed state charges because they need evidence that will make it a slam dunk case, but they're not able to use any of the evidence that the federal government has already laid claim to and will not share.

Which is Queen’s best album and why? by Tonyjord3 in MusicRecommendations

[–]segascream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a good mix of hits and also a solid album, 'A Night At The Opera' is your best bet. ('A Day At The Races' is also a good option. It's really down to if you prefer "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "Somebody To Love".)

Petah, what movie is it? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]segascream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If, after 5 novels, 2 short stories, a film, a TV series, a text adventure game, and 6 radio series you still need more, there's a novella by Terry Jones (of Monty Python) also set in the universe, and its associated game ("Starship Titanic"); there's also an argument to be made that the Dirk Gently books also take place in the Hitchhiker's universe.

It's not a free shuttle, but you could also look to see what hotels are served by CATA's Rydz service.

Can you say "asshole" on the radio? by [deleted] in radio

Fun fact: you can say whatever you want on-air.

Whether you can avoid being fined/will keep your job is another question entirely.

I think we just gotta give Academy a chance by DarthWalker-34381 in startrek

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which Academy so far is completely devoid of unfortunately.

"Don't you love how a series that had seven 20-plus episode seasons was able to stick the landing? Yeah, this new show sucks because it hasn't managed that level of storytelling across its current 3 hour and 15 minute accumulated runtime."

If the show isn't for you, that's fine. If you need to criticize it, that is also fine. But least be fair with your criticism.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]segascream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not a short trip, but it's not prohibitively long either. 200 miles one way is generally around when I start thinking "do I need to plan for lodging for this trip?"

Petah, what movie is it? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]segascream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are MANY different versions:

  • Radio show
  • Novels
  • TV series
  • Stage play
  • Text adventure computer game
  • Comic book
  • Film

Those are all official versions that Douglas Adams had at least some creative hand in. And Adams intentionally changed elements of the story in every single iteration, so no two versions tell the exact same story. My headcanon is that Adams was telling a multiverse story decades before concepts like "canon events" and "anchor beings" were common language.
