There’s a documentary series about this titled Assassin’s Creed.

The fuck do you mean, “was?”

Still disappointed that Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure didn’t use the song Waterloo for the waterpark sequence.

She probably was legitimately attractive by Roman cultural norms and almost certainly leveraged that when dealing with Rome. The smear campaign was more playing that aspect up while downplaying the fact she was a genuine once-in-a-generation genius than making up things about how sexy she was.

You see this with video games, too, where PC games are better optimized when they’re multiplatform releases that also are on one or more consoles near the end of their sales life, just because they had to make it run smoothly on hardware that was comparatively out of date.

Wandavision was really good the first time, but it honestly has no rewatch value whatsoever. Loki is great, though.

Cyberpunk actually ties your pronouns to your voice selection. You can’t have the feminine voice and be called he/him. There might be a mod for that, though.

When a khajiit calls themself ‘this one’ is ‘this one’ technically a pronoun? I’m honestly unsure about the grammar for that.

After Tamriel Rebuilt and OpenMW have their next releases, I am absolutely playing as a khajiit through Morrowind’s main quest.

If the ping rate is irrelevant, then the good old sneakernet is a great way to transfer large amounts of data.

Most places are defederated from grad and hex already. ML is essentially considered too big to fail so most sites won’t defed from them.

Before they abandoned it for Gnome 3, Ubuntu’s Unity DE had the ability to search any program’s menus. Was really handy for many things, but especially Gimp.

Body Odor Over Internet Protocol, or BOOIP.

Exactly. You need documentation to figure out how to do anything in a CLI, and if you forget it’s back to the documentation, but a GUI exposes all its commands immediately, allowing the user to find things on their own.

Except the iOS UI, which is heavily reliant on gestures with varying numbers of fingers, pressure dependent touch commands that are difficult to pull off consistently (seriously, how the hell do you deliberately do the multi-select drag thing?), and hidden menus that are exposed by dragging in from specific portions of the screen at specific angles with no hint that they’re there.

My experience has usually been someone with a very thick accent and an incredibly crappy microphone.

I mean, legitimately, unless you’re doing power user things, you don’t really need the terminal.

This is a fairly recent development, though. Last time I tried Linux I was using the terminal several times a week just browsing the internet and playing games. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how infrequently I have to use it now, but I was surprised given my previous experience.

Or they could get an actor of the same caliber as Christopher Reeve, who completely sold the idea of Clark not being immediately recognizable as Superman.

They’re talking about opening car doors for her.

My parents tried to teach me how to use a manual transmission, but I simply could not get the timing down no matter how much I practiced.

The old cars were also designed in such a way that you had to understand how the thing was constructed and functioned in order to make it work. Nowadays, I only barely understand how shifting gears works mechanically and drive an automatic. Modern cars do much of the work for you, much like modern computers.
