No he didn’t. The senate voted not to convict.

The Denuvo workaround only runs on Windows and creates the mother of all security holes.

As much as I like B5 and JMS, DS9 was already in preproduction with the suspicious similarities already in place when he pitched the show. Paramount asking him during the pitch if he’d be interested in making it a Trek show was almost certainly an attempt to poach him for DS9, since they saw how similar the core concepts were. Paramount actually got very hands-off with DS9, and I suspect it was to ensure they didn’t let the pitch influence the show and open them up to a lawsuit.

Also, JMS didn’t go to TNT after Paramount, he went to PTEN. PTEN was terribly run and B5 was literally their only show by the time production started on season 4, with PTEN folding during production. TNT picked up the show for season 5, then ordered a sequel show that they immediately got buyer’s remorse on and fucked with so they could cancel it within the terms of the contract.

How much do you need explained? The Star Wars part, the Babylon 5 part, or both?

Absolutely. Judges do not like people pulling stunts in their courtroom, and unless Trump actually goes full dictator by disolving congress, he can’t touch them and they know it. He can’t intimidate them, so all trying does is piss them off. This might cause the conservative members to stop following his playbook so much, but it’s hard to say for sure.

Abrahamic religions typically have suicide as a sin, for example.

Huh, I don’t remember that episode of Seinfeld.

Cocoon is more like a low-orbit space station than a moon.

Or because of that recent ruling that you can’t copyright AI generated images. If Disney can’t copyright the videos Sora produces, then it’s useless to them.

Fun fact: if true AGI were a thing, those AI programs would be people and not paying them for their work would be slavery.

There’s actually an official “back path” for the Morrowind main quest if you killed Vivec. You need to take an item from his corpse to Yagrum Bagarn, but you also need a high reputation. If you muck up the back path, too, you can brute force the main quest by completing the final step anyway, but good luck figuring out how to do that without a quest pointing you to what you need.

The Romans divided the world into three equal landmasses before they understood how it was actually laid out and it stuck.

The oceans are just a big lake.

iOS is Apple’s operating system for phones and tablets, MacOS is Apple’s OS for desktops and laptops.

In Spanish the word for pen can also be for a feather.

In English, too, with the word quill. Though the word now specifically means a pen made from a feather rather than a pen in general, and calling a feather that isn’t being used as a pen a quill is very archaic.

What assets you’re recycling is a huge factor. There are crates in Fallout 4 that were originally made for Oblivion. You almost certainly won’t notice unless you’re looking for it. Similarly, I’m playing Divinity Original Sin 2 and there are a bunch of little things that were reused for Baldur’s Gate 3, like vases. Again, most people will probably never notice.

On the other hand, BioWare reusing animations that were originally created for Neverwinter Nights in Mass Effect 3 is jarring, even though those animations generally worked fine in KOTOR. Or Assassin’s Creed 3 using combat animations in the modern day segments that were designed for the flintlock-wielding enemies in the historic segments.

Remember, the only Sith who is also a human supremacist was from Naboo.

Seagate drives are like crows - if you don’t get along with one, they tell their friends and harass you. For any given user, either Seagate drives are perfectly fine and last ages no matter what is done to them, or every single one they touch will self destruct with the lightest use for no reason. That it really does seem to vary by user rather than specific models or production runs is the baffling part.

It’s also extremely quotable.

Halo 3’s writing is a huge step down from 2 and the gameplay suffers from still trying to make dual wielding work. I wasn’t sad when later games went back to holding one weapon at a time. Brute ranks are also nearly impossible for me to tell apart. What do you think is the actual worst Halo?
