American-made PlayStation games were using X for confirm and O for cancel long before the Xbox came out. It's probably partially because X is blue and O is red; we don't have cultural context for the symbols, but we do have cultural context for the colors.

Technically, Thanksgiving actually celebrates the brief period before the genociding began.

Strange New Worlds is also a potential entry point.

The 7 to 10 migration was pretty standard. MS has typically supported a Windows version through the lifetime of its successor, only stopping support about the time the release after that comes out. XP was supported until 7, Vista was supported until 8, and 8 was supported until 11 came out. By the usual pattern, 10 should have been supported until 12 came out, not two years after support for 8 was dropped.

Did they watch The Peacekeeper Wars after finishing the show? Because it does help.

It won't work. LLMs work on probability. They'd have to be an absurdly prolific poster (probably at least a quarter of all comments present in the LLM's training data) in order for their spelling to get incorporated and not just tossed out as a typo. I've never seen LLM text misspell 'the' as 'teh' and that's an incredibly common typo.

D&D actually has mongrelfolk as a hybrid of basically everything.

Worf has dual citizenship and is Klingon nobility, which comes with political duties. So long as he's off the clock and the Empire doesn't get upset about it, he gets a lot of leeway.

I think you're going to have to explain your reasoning on that one.

PlayStation is probably going to still have exclusives, or at least timed exclusives, driving some sales. But this announcement may be the final nail in Xbox's coffin.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome and mouse heavy games hurt, but playing with a controller is great. If this can easily replace a mouse and keyboard setup then I'll be playing with it a lot, and those track pads are a big reason why.

They're also good for emulating certain consoles with quirky controllers, like the N64.

Also, as far as everyone knows, Superman doesn't have a civilian identity. It's pretty public knowledge in most continuities that his name is Kal-El, that he's a Kryptonian, and that he lives in the Fortress of Solitude somewhere in the arctic. Sure's he's in Metropolis a lot, but he also clearly has something going on with Lois Lane.

Same in Oregon.

I imagine Alaska being red is more about dying from the cold than the law.

That's what the old half-dragon template was for.

It's a 3e base, but very simplified. It's more like 5e with extra feats and the old fortitude/reflex/will save system added on.

When they do the reveal there's a cinematic that shows all the unavoidable foreshadowing that you didn't notice. It goes on for a full two minutes and is only a fraction of all the foreshadowing to that point since so much is in optional dialogue. Took me completely by surprise the first time and for years I would find another bit of foreshadowing tucked away in areas of dialogue trees I hadn't gone down before each time I played.

IIRC, a horse can output more than one horsepower in bursts, but can sustain one horsepower all day.

You should try chicken, tomato, jalapeno, and pineapple on a pizza.

The first Red Angel was Burnham's mom. The second Red Angel was Burnham, because of-fucking-course it was.
