PainterofCrap posted:Parallax error was something I trained to compensate for in news photography class, a million years ago, when some still used non-SLR cameras. There's a pretty famous movie from the 70s called The Parallax View, and apparently the word goes back to the 1500s, so yeah. Not from a video game.

It's also what astronomers use to measure the distance to some stars. You look at where it is at one point in the year, then where it is in the opposite point of the year (or where the stars around it are, I'm going by memory), and do some math from there.

Vanadium posted:The fear entity was invented a long time after they called Hal Jordan Parallax, wasn't it? Well, I happen to write for Green Lantern and I think you'll be singing another tune when I introduce the two new guardians of sector 2807: Gravitas and Relevance. That last guy? He'll be around forever.

My recollection is that it started as 'a safeguard built in by the Guardians to keep the Lanterns humble' to 'the personification of Fear, which is yellow, by the way, lives in the battery for reasons' to 'well, now it's gone, but most of the Lanterns still believe they can't affect yellow, so their mind makes it real' and that's when I stopped even vaguely paying attention.

That last one is silly, because Green Lanterns are chosen because of great will. Surely they could overcome that limitation if they know it's not real anymore.

Our "Not corrupted by a fear demon" central battery has Lanterns asking a lot of questions already answered by our battery.

Ganthet didn't think about it, though. He just gave it to the first person he found.
