We literally just signed an EO to transition certain military systems away from 5.25" floppies.

There are some real obvious Very Special Episodes (like when Brooklyn accidentally shoots the detective), but overall, a lot of it is incredibly solid.

To quote (likely) John Swift, a lie can be halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.

It wouldn’t have surprised me if WOTC dropped D&D as a brand if Honor Among Thieves had flopped.

And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers “well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years”.

Well There’s Your Problem did an absolutely horrifying episode about it. I recommend it.

John Wayne had to be physically restrained from beating up a Native American woman at the Academy Awards.

Didn’t they do this with Yakuza?

You forgot lead in the soil from all the lead in the air. That’s biting us in the ass now, since a lot of plants we eat are REALLY good at taking in heavy metals.

TBF, Avery Brooks fought like hell to get Far Beyond The Stars as uncomfortable as it was. Berman and the network wanted it to be a trite little story about a sci-fi writer; almost all the racism, discrimination, etc was Brooks pushing back on them.

That’s an odd way to spell Drake.

And those are just suggestions. Your mech, as long as it conforms to a pattern-group (read: has bits from one license or another) can look like literally anything. Wanna play a Tokugawa but it’s Blade Liger? You can do that. Wanna do a Sunzi that’s literally Big O? Go for it.

I’ll bet you anything it’s taxes.

Ever since the appearance modding system went in, my Hunter’s been pretty genderfluid - I tend to swap from male to female depending on how I feel that day.

Other people have said (keep in mind that neither I nor they are capable of diagnosing anything long-distance) that his posture is characteristic of certain degenerative brain disorders like Alzheimer’s.

He gets a lot of redemption in Voyager, IMO.

They CAN be, depending on the area. My local neighborhood doesn’t have one, and there isn’t anything like that within the area of the city I’m in. “Third places” where you can just hang out with no expectations on you to purchase things or otherwise interact with that place’s services are rapidly disappearing in the US.

Behind the Bastards also did a hilarious episode on it.

Also have to pay and credit two actors for one role, which might get sticky, especially with awards.

Not really laws, at least in the US. So long as they don’t claim it’s made of things it isn’t, they can say “well the packaging clearly states it’s not real, actual leather”.
