@adiwan You forgot the clones of Luke named Luuke and Luuuke ( no really ).

But yeah, fair point. All movies have severe faults and cracks in them. However it took Disney only 2 mainline movies to break the fandom. The two biggest sides seem to be those who absolutely love it and defend it so hard till their mind seems to break ( warning, 2 hour podcast of someone whose mind seems to break defending the movie https://youtu.be/bXs0LXqK2SM ). Those who still come out with movies why it all sucked and why it is all going to hell. I am not even sure if that 'side' is actually truthfull when they shout 'Please make Brie Larson a Jedi, let it all die !' or not.

Meanwhile I like to see myself as in the middle and heavily in the minority.

Imagine a kid creating a beautiful sandcastle on a beach only to come back the next day to find out that there is now a squatter playing with 'your' sand castle. Surely you can share, right ? But part of me still goes "You know, this could have been better

@adiwan Reminds me of a story, now the details have been lost to time but I distinctly remember that somehow a professional looking "anti-anti virus" sign being made for our local version of a computer convention.

"128 of the best selected virusses to nuke down your pesky anti-virus" "Pester your system with Sircam, Nimda, Klez, Sapphire, Gaybird, NuclearRAT, Sasser, Blaster, and all our other pattented 'lifesavers'" ( You may have noticed that those are mostly famous virusses from the first half of the 2000's )

Some people actually inquired for our 'product' on the day of the convention. One of them actually wanted to use it because he would be fired sooner or later.

Morale of the story is... Virus Killers are snakeoil these days, attacks are most likely to come from within. Like BadUSB, No AntiVirus gonna protect you from an angry employee.

... Or dumb mother ? Idunno.

@drinkingpony As a consumer of the new canon (having all the comics that came after the switch) and having only glimpses of experience with the old canon I'm heavily biased. As far as I have gathered the old canon is guilty of several stupid things like clones of Palpatine and Luke and such that appears to be fan-fictiony as well.

@drinkingpony Oh, ehmm, by the way, skip to the 3 minute mark unless if you want the salty unrestrained super right 'funny' opinions of a sock-puppet that was intentionally made just to be all that.

Though if you want to go in knowing that, the more power to you. Mostly because... Lord of the Rings... Yeah Chuck Wendig went "That thing is bad for I can not read it T_T"

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan I know where you are coming from but no. I do not accept things like grimoire cards for something I would have liked. ( This doubles as a Destiny jab )

I do not need to remind you that Disney upon acquiring the Star Wars franchise the first thing they did was declare all the extended universe stuff un-canon. I might as well just skip the middle man and start to read fan-fiction.

Hell, come to think of it. 3 months ago I chuckled at CuckleFhuck... Fluffle PuffleChuck... one of those things, hold on let me get the thing I remember

Just... just listen to this... it breaks my heart...

@drinkingpony I understand the implications that a strong woman character being played as a joke but I'm OK with that (being a joke not the ridiculing of a woman). If you want a badass Phasma then it can be only found in other media (comics, books, TV).

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan Everything dies if you hit it on the head hard enough.

Except Captain Phasma. Mark my word she will either be in the next episode/movie shrugging off a critical hit on her head, or she will not be in the next episode/movie at all making her character fit in between Watto and Fodesinbeed Annodue.

All I wanted is some amazing woman be awesome. Not for this woman to be wrapped in tin-foil and have less screen time or impact than Admiral Motti ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874904 )

Heck I could write her in a more epic space opera and I am drunk half the time.

We start off with StarKiller Base being under New Republic's command with Captain Phasma pretty much being the head honcho when the Supremacy, multiple dreadnoughts, some Interdictor Star Destroyers ( they block hyperspace and communications ) to take over the facility. Then later have Kylo force-choke Phasma on display and throw her to the floor. Helmet flies off, and you see her eyes as she surrenders to Snoke.

@drinkingpony They'll probably still die by a hit on their head.

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan Yeah you really should. I am pretty sure they are a staple to the food pyramid.

If not they should.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Get a container of water. small butt large opening containers work best IMHO.

If it floats, it's toast ( throw it away )
If it stands, it demands ( to be used straight away )
If it sinks, its still good methinks.

Alcoholic Beast orungano

@tiff Oh those hurt just as bad as one for your back, if not worse since you can actually deal with inflamation around the area of obstruction. You have my sympathies.

May your painkillers be pleasant but non addictive.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Yup, that is the non dev name of the same beast that haunted me in my dreams for so long I do not even care to remember.

Worst time to do a study/school in IT.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus I would understand 1330. but 1990 ?

Wait is this an NT5 joke ?

Alcoholic Beast orungano

@tiff Gastrointestinal hernia ? Man those are the worst. I mean I think they are called that, I might be confusing it with the umbillical cord scar thing hernia.

Ohkay why can I not come up with the word for that thing now ? I mean it is only joked about like 50K times in SciFi how clones do not have them. Ughh...

Alcoholic Beast orungano

@tiff Classical back ( spine ) hernia ?

If it comes back time and time again, I am going to guess it is a classical spinal involving L5 ( above or below ) ? I can only wish you the best of luck in recovery and managing the pain. Got some sort of pain-relief from the doc ?

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation Wait, I am not allowed to criticize things I deem worthy of... Well lets be honest here, I just rant usually.

You are judgeing me for that ?

adiwan Scribus

@scribus There is no real standard for VR interaction libraries. VRTK (that I use) is the most active but it has done some backwards decisions that is biting me in the back. Others are either paid, too stupid simple, or not maintained.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Yes but those mooks are going to say "I smashed capitalism, I smashed it good" not "I paid $8.99 to smash capitalism"

I do not think you should make it too obvious on that front.

Imagine what would happen if happen if Delaphine went "Buy my filthy bathwater and secure your place in loserdom" as a sales pitch. I mean, we are all thinking it, but it was not the sales pitch.

Alcoholic Beast thismightbeauser

@thismightbeauser meh needs to be about 20% cooler.

Still whoops Paramount's attempt though.
