The fact that the OpenBSD logo has to include its name spelled out really tells you everything you need to know, doesn’t it.

I know that, but it just looks weird. Though on second thought, maybe the issue is the connection between E and K. Star Wars has the R and S connected, but there it looks like a natural extension of the strokes made when writing the letters. Here it doesn’t work nearly as well, and the second line already has two connected letters with T and R anyway. So after thinking about it a bit more, I think I’d just cut the connection between E and K. The K still looks a little odd, but it conforms to the SW logo, and at least the entire bottom right corner doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.

Is it just me or is the K upside down? Surely this looks better?

No, it isn’t.

Yes, it is. If you’re not going to put any effort into actually arguing your position, then neither am I. The ball is in your court.

Literally all of this is wrong, it doesn’t fit with either pre-Disney canon or current Disney canon.

No, it isn’t, and yes, it does. See above.

I wonder if everyone downvoting me and upvoting you early will come back and see the messed up stuff you’re advocating for smh

My first comment is 13 up and 9 down right now, yours is 10 up and 0 down. I don’t think you have anything to complain about, so don’t play victim.

Yes, I thought that was obvious from the start. What part of “Luke shouldn’t have hesitated” did you find unclear?

Let me give you an analogy. You see a huge guy, beside himself with rage, winding up to chop a baby using a machete. Do you think it’s psychopathic to shoot him in the face to save the baby? That’s the position Luke was in. He could see what Ben was going to do in the future just as clearly as you can see what the big angry guy is about to do. And if you hesitated and the baby ended up chopped in half, you’d probably feel a lot of regret and guilt, just like Luke.

The Jedi exist in a universe where the deity they worship is actually real and provides them with both a way of seeing far into the future as well as an objectively correct moral compass. This means the Jedi are ethically obligated to act in ways that might seems psychopathic to people who do not posses such clairvoyance. This is precisely why they’re supposed to avoid emotional attachments, because those might compel them to act in ways that feel better in the moment but end up doing far more harm. The older I get, the more convinced I become that basically all of humanity’s problems boil down to people doing what they feel like instead of what they know they should.

I don’t think Luke used statistics to determine what Ben would do in the future.

As for Minority Report, it’s unfortunately one of those movies where the filmmakers try to clobber the audience over the head with a moral that the story doesn’t actually support. Jurassic Park is another such movie. It’s all about “man shouldn’t play god” and “life will find a way”, right? Wrong! The dinosaurs only escaped their enclosures because Nedry sabotaged the system and turned the electric fences off. The park would’ve been fine if he hadn’t done that. The real moral of that story is that humans can triumph even over mother nature as long as we don’t stab each other in the back.

Minority Report is a very similar case. The precrime program was a roaring success, eliminating nearly all premeditated murders. Yeah, sure, one guy managed to figure out a way to fool the system, but luckily he got caught regardless. That’s a reason to implement safeguards and improve the system, not to shut the entire program down. No system is perfect. Sure, precrime would probably produce a few wrongful convictions and fail to catch a few criminals, but guess what, those issues were far worse under the old system. Going back to a crappy old system because the new and improved system is not absolutely flawless is just stupid. Even in its prototype stage, precrime had far fewer issues than conventional law enforcement, and those issues would’ve been reduced even more with further development and refinement of the system. Shutting the entire thing down the moment a single teething issue cropped up was one of the most egregious cases of throwing the baby out with the bathwater ever put on screen. So yes, you unironically did get confused about who the bad guys were in Minority Report, but it’s not your fault, because the filmmakers were confused about it too.

It’s almost as if Luke’s unwillingness to make necessary sacrifices and his half-hearted actions bringing about the exact outcome he was hoping to prevent were a deliberate commentary on real life and on the situations we find ourselves in both as individuals and as a civilization or something. But that can’t be true, because the sequels are shit in every way with no redeeming features whatsoever, and Rian Johnson is a complete idiot who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Oh please, don’t quote that ketamine-addled frog at me. The whole thing is his fault anyway, he fucked up literally everything he touched:

• First he opposed training Anakin at all. Because letting a kid whose Force sensitivity is off the charts run around unsupervised just after you’ve found out that the Sith are back is apparently a good idea…?
• Then he assigned him to wet-behind-the-ears Obi-Wan instead of a more experienced master who might be able to guide him better, despite knowing full well that Anakin was going to be difficult to train due to being too old.
• He didn’t recognize Palpatine as a Sith lord despite frequently meeting him face to face.
• Failed to defeat Dooku.
• Dismissed Dooku’s warning about a Sith being in control of the Republic as disinformation despite every word of it being true.
• Provided incredibly stupid, worthless, ineffective, and likely even outright damaging ‘guidance’ to Anakin in the throes of emotional turmoil.
• Decided that he and Obi-Wan should split up to fight the Sith individually instead of ganging up on one while the other was occupied, and then sent Obi-Wan after Anakin despite being explicitly warned that it wouldn’t work.
• Failed to defeat Palpatine.
• Tried to stop Luke from going to rescue his friends, who would later prove instrumental in the defeat of the Empire.
• Tried to teach Luke the same “attachments bad” bullshit that he fed Anakin in order to get him to assassinate his own father; in the end, of course, it was precisely that attachment that proved key to victory. If anything, the Empire was defeated because Luke, unlike everyone else before him, didn’t listen to Yoda.

So yeah. Every single thing this little green asshole ever said and did was wrong. If it weren’t for him, the Republic likely wouldn’t have even fallen in the first place. If Yoda says that the future is always in motion, the one thing we can be sure of is that the future is as solid as a rock.

That wasn’t a dream, it was a vision of the future. Luke’s a Jedi, the Jedi have faith in the Force. The Force showed him a vision, and he believed it. That’s what Jedi are supposed to do. And you know what else? The Force wasn’t wrong. Given what Ben would go on to do, Luke shouldn’t have hesitated.

tHeY cReAtE jObS!

It’s okay to like them while they do good and then change your mind when they turn evil.

there’s a guy on 4chan who’s planning to sue Fromsoft

Lol, no. There’s a guy on 4chan who’s saying wildly outlandish shit in order to have a laugh at anyone who takes it seriously.

A perfectly understandable reaction, but the company will be happy about that. If you willfully destroy a product you bought, they already have your money, and now you need to buy another one.

The enshittification cycle:

Phase one, attract users by providing a good service.
Phase two, once the users are locked in, squeeze them for all they’re worth by selling them to business customers (advertisers and/or data buyers).
Phase three, once the business customers are locked in, squeeze them for all they’re worth by threatening to deny them access to the users on whom they now depend.

Spez seems to think Reddit has the pull to make phase 3 happen. I rather doubt it, but we’ll see.

Yeah, but none of that bothers his supporters as much as calling him weird. Which is pretty weird if you ask me.

It’s phase three of the enshittification cycle. In phase one, you attract users by providing a good service. Once they’re locked in, you squeeze them for all they’re worth by switching focus to business customers. Once they’re locked in, you squeeze them by threatening to deny them access to the users on whom they now depend.

It’s almost as if the Souls series was a deliberate throwback inspired by classic games and used mechanics copied from them.

It seems to me that the most distinctive feature is the save mechanic that essentially splits the game into levels where you can only save your progress when you reach a campfire.

By this definition, Demon’s Souls is not a soulslike.

Also, by kicking him out and then implementing it anyway, they take credit for his work. I wonder whether being discarded like a piece of trash the moment he outlived his usefulness came as a surprise to him. A very Trumpian move all-around.

Ordinary people just trying to live their lives hate this one simple trick.
