Don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good”.
When I make maps for ttrpgs, I’ve started using a tool that is, let’s be honest, kinda crap. The maps I can make using it can only ever be “good enough.” This is good, because it means I don’t spent hours trying to make it perfect, and instead just finish prepping other things.
Do you wanna check your math there?
Oh, I know. And I double checked wikipedia to see what the critical response was. Carrie Fisher liked how it looked. Reviewers said it was “weird and unsettling”, “particularly plastic” or “distractingly artificial.”
I don’t think “if at first you don’t succeed” applies here. Like, I’m annoyed they tried once. I think a more applicable adage is “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
With Disney capital to pay for high-end technology that looked amazing, we found the result was passable at best. Peter Cushing’s estate, run by his former secretary, said it was okay, but the overwhelming response from audiences was that it was disrespectful.
We know we couldn’t, and we know we shouldn’t. So let’s not.
Remember that time they used CG to bring back Peter Cushing in Rogue One? Remember how bad it looked? Remember how disrespectful it was? Maybe we shouldn’t do it again.
Yeah, this question is like being asked “what’s your favourite STI”. They’re all unpleasant, so I’d rather not have any.
I’m willing to bet there was some islamaphobia in those rejected screenplays.
I don’t know about being a flat earther, but I know for a fact they’re a moon landing denier. Very unkeen on evidence, that one.
…You just answered your own question. He was delivering supplies. That’s the point.
Although, in the case of oxygen, he was picking up trash (carbon) to take out with him. And he went through the whole place to make sure he got it all.
A man enters a room and leaves with a box. In the process of picking up the box, he became a man carrying a box. This is not transmutation.
I put some beans on my toast. In the process, it becomes beans on toast. This is not transmutation.
Two things became one combination of two things. Neither thing has fundamentally changed.
There was a Dara O’Brien bit from a while ago where he said about herbal medicine “We tested it, and we called the stuff that worked ‘medicine’. Everything else is a nice herbal tea and some potpourri.” Same basic idea.
Instead of making assumptions and asking “why did people”, start asking “did people”. The answer is no, they did not. Nobody has changed sides.
Lemon theft. It’s a brilliant plot device, but stay the hell away from my lemons.
Cats speak french, except in any situation where they can be recorded or transcribed, or when a french speaker can hear them. They also aren’t very good at speaking french, but it’s impossible for anyone to know that.
The camera shows the wheel break from the track, throwing the hero and the henchman to either side of the room. It cuts to the carriage in chaos, with people panicked at the motion. Then it cuts to you to break the tension.
Checks out.
While the ghosts don’t activate the pellets, they also don’t eat the regular pellets. They interact with nothing but Pacman, the only living thing to be found. Even if they could, the only effect is to weaken the ghosts, so they have no reason to.
If the pellet changed Pacman, it makes no sense that he could eat one ghost and not another. And yet, when a ghost respawns, Pacman is unable to eat that one, even as he manages to eat the others. The change has to be within the ghosts, reverting with time or with resurrection.
As such, we have no reason to believe Pacman can eat any ghost unless that ghost reacts to the power pellet. Whether those ghosts react to a power pellet? Insufficient data for meaningful answer.
Consider how eating the power pellets turns the ghosts blue, and how the ghosts regain their original colour when they respawn, even within the power pellet timer. The natural conclusion is that the pellets don’t change pacman, but change the ghosts.
As such, unless the power pellets affect ALL ghosts the same way they affect the pacman ghosts, pacman could not eat any ghost other than the pacman ghosts.
Scary Movie 3. Among many reasons that’s a film you shouldn’t watch as a child, that was my introduction to the Ring, and I had a TV in my room.
