Prequel, or someone new taking up Batman’s mantle I would guess. Maybe the Dick Grayson version, or I think they can explore Azrael? Pretty sure he showed up to challenge Batman in one of the games

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda wish the conveyer belts would just fling them off into oblivion or something for me.

We could call the mayor of Springfield and ask

But at least the formulas and constants appear to be correct

I believe the internet archive is under threat as well, some kind of copyright protection thing.

I suppose I worry about the fiction too because sometimes it’s a commentary on real life concerns, and the pearl clutchers will want to erase perceived insults. Anyway, to each their own. I need to be selective about what I keep because there just isn’t enough space to save them all. Digital certainly has the advantage there.

I suppose those exclusives and freebies were the reason. I think they needed to do all the things and blew the opportunity. If it was a company with shit for funding I might have more pity but Epic definitely had the budget to do more.

All Epic had to do was build a good store front with similar features as Steam provides. They didn’t. Their store sucked from the beginning and it also blows now. Relying purely on exclusives and freebies was a losing game - they needed to back it up by making the service worthwhile beyond that, and they utterly failed to do so.

The value in the printed word is that it can’t be easily modified. The knowledge and ideas are preserved in a sense, as long as it remains intact. On the internet things can be changed after the fact easily, and it’s much harder to verify what was changed later. Living in the age of misinformation has given me new reason to hang on to my books and even old dvds and cds etc. I recognize what you’re saying too - if you’re just reading for entertainment and moving on it makes sense to pay a minimum and move on when you’re done. I just also find myself clutching to 1984 where it describes making the changes I’m talking about, and holding on to Fahrenheit 451 as it begins to look like book banning and eventually burning is on the rise.

Edit: Ive even changed this comment. It was just spelling.

You must be new. This is America we are talking about.

Who could possibly be motivated to do such a thing??? Hmmmm

Who was ever turning to Keanu for scientific knowledge? Lost him? We never had him! Chill dude, entertaining actor, but absolutely wrong person for science.

Thats a pretty miserable take on modern life, and I’m amused that your golden era is during World War 1. Enjoy your mustard gas and spanish flu!

I was with you until the last two sentences and then you just dove overboard. Life is fucking great compared to just about any time in the past. You know refrigerators have only been around for a little over a hundred years? Same with antibiotics, antibacterial soaps, indoor plumbing, electricity, tv, radio, and obviously the internet. Sure corporate bullshit sucks, but the level of comfort we experience while not dying from minor infections by the time we turn 30 is pretty fantastic. Even with stupid rules like this video games are fucking amazing. I’m typing this message with a magic light up box that can play music, order me delivery, pay my bills, look up nearly any knowledge available to mankind, and show me things beyond the wildest imagination of anyone prior to the turn of the century. Life is amazing, we just have to keep fighting the assholes who want to keep all the awesome stuff for themselves.

Therefore, Capcom can go suck a fat shit.

Yup, took this off my wishlist as soon as I saw the requirement in the store. At least steam warns you about it. I would love to play this game but there’s so many other great games to play it doesn’t feel like much of a loss for me.

Its been awhile so maybe things have changed. When I tried it out it basically took everything I enjoyed about these games and scrapped that to make it work as an MMO. Somehow Im the main hero but had several dozen people jumping around me at all times. All agency of character choice was gone, along with half the possible skill sets. Every quest had one way, maybe two ways, to complete them. It was no longer I could sneak or bribe or negotiate or fight or pickpocket or trick them into fighting someone else or use a spell to mesmerize or put them to sleep or poison them or whatever else came to mind with my incredible multitude of tools. It was just dull.

Depends on the exam. Some don’t even allow programmable calcs because they don’t want to deal with possible shit like this. I have already seen a certification exam where they provide the calculators as well.

I’ve had to provide my transcript for several job applications. Government ones seem to usually ask.

Yeah that JD Vance look. Smoke show!

Recent discussions tell me I better put the old /s in here…

We are talking about lawmakers making this demand. They don’t have a fucking clue what the difference is between all these possibilities.

Yeah wearing scrubs was traditionally meant as clothing you could easily get rid of if you got bodily fluids on yourself. They are cheap, thin material, and originally had colors meant to make it easy to identify blood if they became contaminated (although that part is not really adhered to in my experience). They are not, and never were, intended for sterility. Sterile clothing is donned and doffed within the OR or relevant treatment room. If scrubs are contaminated or used for PPE purposes they must be left at the facility and the employer is responsible for washing or disposal (by US regulations). However many people in medical facilities wear them as a uniform instead, including administrators, general caretakers, and even custodial services depending on the location. The important thing is the intent, and by most modern standards PPE which would get contaminated is worn over the scrubs.

Hell I went to the eye doctor the other day and everyone in that place was in scrubs. I dunno who would be squirting eye fluid all over them so I assume they all arrived and leave in those scrubs.
