These are the real-life emergency procedures. They had different emergency procedures for fake in-game emergiences, with a different alarm. Hope you don't get them mixed up!

If there's an "exterior acces portal" why not just make it so people can open it FROM INSIDE THE FLAMING BUILDING.

earbuds are dead to me ever since they started using those awful silicon tips instead of perfectly comfortable foam. I'm sure I'll find out that foam tips cause cancer or whatever but I have never felt a comfortable pair of earbuds after the change.

Much like how H. Bomber Guy's plagiarism expose ensured that video essayists now put due vigilance into crediting their sources, the fate of The Dark Id has creators pulling back the curtains on make-believe friends and family.

I mean Civvie created a bunch of characters for his whole bit, another prisoner who works as an editor isn't outrageous or any weirder than two robots who bully him, cancer mouse or Ramses II.

True Detective also had the decency to tell a completely self-contained story in S1, so you can go back and enjoy that all on its own. Not so much with Westworld.

I only saw the first season of Westworld, but it was before there was a second one and I thought it worked perfectly well by itself. They could've just made it one season like the Watchmen show.

One of the final quality frontpage articles I remember is the one making fun of Westworld:

https://www.somethingawful.com/news/westworld-season-3/

quote:

"I have to go there. Come with me."

"I can't. I have to go over there. It's the key. Or it's the door. Or it's the valley beyond. I remember now."

"Okay. Well, I remember the real purpose of this place."

"Okay." (Significant look)

Did Lindsey Ellis ever get over getting trolled about Avatar: The Last Airbender? I dont blame her for not poasting or anything, it's fine.

My partner had borrowed her book from the library, and I was like, "Oh neat! It's cool seeing Transformers fanfic as a published library hardcover. It's cool seeing this in person. What a world!" not disparagingly at all! and she was halfway done with the book and all :stare:

It's useful to have a context in which to discuss and extrapolate from primary texts though. Granted, you can also read contemporary analyses of primary texts, but there is value to having other breathing people competent in ideas to discuss them with.

Granted, college isn't the only place for this, but it is A place for it

She doesn't have much to do with social media except announcing things like projects and the birth of her second(?) kid.

caveat: I have not watched any of her videos, but I feel like this tracks with the biggest cheerleader of her content I knew being someone who pitched it with "yeah she gets a lot of flak from both sides, she's just abrasive/trolling (they'd swap explanations on this point), the content is still good".

I don't talk to them anymore.

I don't think I updated the OP since like, before she came out, so don't put too much faith into all those descriptions still being accurate. :v:

I don't know what drama might surround her, still watch her video's once in a while just not all of em any more; too many subscriptions anyway.
