Yeah… there were a bunch of issues with the Virtual Boy.

A Sudo 3D experience on hardware that couldn’t handle 3D graphics, needed to be setup on a table, and a color palette that made the GameBoy seem high fidelity, never mind the red was horrid to stare at for too long.

It really was ahead of its time… in all the wrong ways.

I suspect, nothing less than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft going all in on their next generation console would be enough to bring VR mainstream. As in, the VR being the primary way to play.

Of the three, I can’t see Sony or Microsoft doing it.

Maybe Nintendo, as doing weird stuff is kinda their thing, but even that’s doubtful.

They’re all beautiful shots, but something about them doesn’t leave me curious about their contexts. I wish I could articulate it better….

Like maybe it’s not enough of a tease?

Or maybe that you could’ve told me most of those shots were from S4 and I wouldn’t question it?

Or the lack of a contextual caption maybe?

In this specific case, FF3/6 is the same game. 6 was the third game to be localized in English, so on the SNES it was sold as FF3.

Wasn’t he the guy who screamed at you if you set funding at like 95%?

I hate it when the captions are cut off.

McMahan confirmed the season plot will come into focus in the next two episodes:

“The finale does. Episode 9 does to a lesser extent. But 10 is like a movie. It’s wonderful.”

I’m guessing either the Cerritos or the Sh’Val is disabled at the end of the next episode, then the remaining ship has to rescue the other in the finalé.

Well, wouldn’t be the first time I’ve put my foot in my mouth. For that I apologize.

If it’s any consolation, my goal with the prompt, wasn’t to discredit the arduous unrewarded efforts of our educators. It was to put someone actively disqualified for a narrative role in such a situation.

But I felt that alone wasn’t especially interesting. There should be a puzzle allowing the prompted writer to put an unexpected twist on an otherwise straightforward prompt. Hence the atheist producing results counter to their values.

But if this is still considered in poor taste, then I give the mods permission to delete this.

Honestly, I enjoyed the portrayal of the Borg Queen outside the context of the collective. She got the sort of character development that I didn’t know I needed. And frankly, she was practically holding S2 up after they arrived in the past.

Then she got the villain ball and ran off with Jurati and my interest fell flat.

The Borg Queen worked as a character. She didn’t work as a villain. It was impossible to balance her being a galactic level threat against a crew that had no resources, and Doyalistly wasn’t allowed to deal with her until Picard had time to spare to concentrate on her.

Except that isn’t guaranteed. Unless I’ve got 7.5K+ in taxes I’m not getting a $7.5K federal discount. And even if I did, I still have to front that $40K bill until taxes hit.

If you have money, then 40K is nothing. If you don’t then it’s untenable.

I want to preface by saying I absolutely agree with everything you've said. My personal commute is like ~20 miles round trip, which is more than capable of being covered by a level 1 charger. But I wasn't aware of that 5-20 bit of trivia. I'm going to have to look into that for myself. (Thanks!)

Though, there are two things I'd like to add: Under the normal commute situation, there are scenarios I can think of where a level 2 charger might still be a good investment.

If your battery capacity is good, in practice, you would hardly notice when you have a day or two of heavy driving. Sure it may take an extra day or so to reach full or so, but it won't impact your ability to get things done when things soon revert to normal.

On the other hand, if your battery is something that probably belongs more in a hybrid than it does in an EV, then said car will probably be less forgiving of back-to-back heavy usage. (I was originally looking at a Nisan Leaf since there were good deals for them used, but then I saw that the non-"+" trims had garbage capacity. And then I understood why they were so common as used.)

The other scenario is your power company. They may provide incentives for restricting your charging to certain hours by using an approved Level 2 charger, which when combined with the federal incentive, drastically cuts down the time it takes to break even and then come out ahead.
