  • I remember reading that somewhere (probably 4chan) figured out a somewhat high accuracy way to tell which was the control and which was the variable, and started spam solving them by correctly doing the assumed control but putting the same thing (knowing 4chan, probably a slur) for the assumed variable until the system got enough confirmation to move the word to the control rotation and started accepting the word for that. Can’t remember where so it may be unconfirmed







  • Jane Foster when she was the wielder of Mjolnir. Not for anything about her personally, but the fact that Thor was treated as a codename. It’s the dude’s actual name, it’d be like if Sam Wilson went around introducing himself as Steve Rogers when he took the Captain America mantle. It’s happened a few other times like with Eric Masterson, but at least he had the excuse that for most of the time he used the name he and the actual Thor were sharing a body.

    Plus like a lot of semi recent sexist analogies it’s a rephrasing of an older racist one with the same logic but proponents are like “that’s different for reasons”, ‘rather a black man or a dangerous animal’ is pretty common in racist circles, just like the ‘you have a bowl of M&Ms, 1/10 are poison. That’s what it’s like to deal with men’ analogy from a few years back grew from the ‘you have a package of Skittles. 1/10 are poison. That’s what it’s like to deal with Muslims’ analogy






  • Depending on your definition of reboot there’s the live action Drake Bell as Timmy sequel movies, and the live action Paramount+ sequel series where the fairies go to a cousin of Timmy, then an upcoming 3d animated one in a few weeks. Live action ones are questionable if they count, haven’t watched them but presumably the Drake Bell ones are a direct continuation, Paramount+ one might be a soft reboot depending on how much they reference old events. New one definitely does look to be an either soft or entire reboot though since Cosmo and Wanda help out an entirely new kid who seems to have no connection to Timmy, though there could still be references.

    And to circle it to a common online debate, DC has its “Red Son” alternate continuity where the major divergence point is Kal-El’s birthing matrix lands in Soviet territory rather than Kansas so there’s a Superman born and raised wholly believing in the idealized theoretical form of communism rather than an idealized version of the US, do could get the “Goku vs Superman” argument going


  • Was years ago when the game first came out, plus am a Gamepass subscriber now anyway so “officially” have a license (yadda yadda, subject to subscription running out or them deciding to drop a game they own from their catalog). But there’s always a chance I suppose


  • Bit of each for different people I suppose, but for most probably closer to the latter, most achievements being worth a multiple of five making ones that don’t stick out. Checking mine, currently ends in 4 so must have run into a game that did something like that at some point, but am not one of the people it bothers

    Not Steam, but interestingly some Microsoft published games will unlock Xbox achievements when pirated, presumably because they built the version sold on Steam to unlock achievements on both platforms. Pirated Psychonauts 2 and got the little under half you get on a casual non achievement hunting playthrough on my Xbox account
