Pentaprisms from SLR cameras have a similar but slightly different function, so personally as an amateur photographer who doesn't use a SLR but learned about em, I think it's pretty easy for photographers who used such tech to relate.

He still thinks the "Central Park 5" should have been executed even though they were exonerated. 5 young men who share a certain skin color with me...

Ffxiv also, has both native and steam, which is useful for steamdeck even if you don't have it for steam. FFXIVLauncher does the login then uses the fully functional steam demo to play.

Agreed. I once tried to look up nearby supermarkets that didn't donate to antilgbt stuff (or just not GOP) and it wasn't feasible to avoid it with what was in range back then, especially if I wanted any quality. It felt like I had no choice, so accept and live with it is also what I did. I still tried to avoid egregious examples, of course. Tesla now counts, not just because of his personality, but also because of some of the cost cutting practices and regulation skirting he has done.

I don't track down and listen to CEOs. I don't know most of them. The pedo sub thing was generally the first negative I heard about him also, just from general impressions that came off if you didn't search for him specifically. I also heard about the Type E and Type 3 thing, and how he wanted to have the cars spell out SEX. I thought it was a bit immature, but didn't read much further into it back then how much of a manchild he was.

If you're not dialed into specific types of content, you just didn't hear it. It's not simply opening your ears as you said. It would involve having enough interest in looking up a CEO of a company, and many of us don't do that. I don't know who runs Kroger, though I have some negative opinions due to the price fixing. I don't know who is the CEO of Aldi, of Nissan, of AMD, of cuisine Art, etc. I use products from or purchase from the previous companies either daily or weekly, but knowing the CEO generally doesn't affect me.

What he's done since then does now affect much more, but back then it wasn't that important for most to know.

Trade fountain pens for Legos (and I guess lose the watches part, though I do appreciate em) and same.

Really? Why does Deathstroke and Deadpool both exist? One is DC, one is Marvel, and Deadpool pretty much started as an expy. Slade Wilson and Wade Wilson. You're arguing from a place of what feels like it should be wrong, yet your fake example has been done in the real world and they got away with it.

This happens so many times in industries they can often just argue parody. In fact, changing a name slightly is classic parody to avoid being sued. Japan in particular often just bleeps out a syllable or forgets a character in the name.

Lots of games are also called Roguelike. Based off a game called Rogue. The makers of Rogue do not get to sue the makers of Hades.

Pets that fight for you, including being able to store them for portable carry has been done by many other games, including Ark. In fact, playing Palworld made me compare it more to Ark than Pokemon: base building, automation, catching dinos/animals/monsters of different varieties for different uses. Some can fly, some run, some can be used as parachutes. Some help automate actions at base. There is a tech tree unlocked by leveling, starting with primitive weapons and moving on to guns and higher caliber guns. Blueprints are common in ark for higher quality crafts to build at, you guessed it, crafting benches.

Collecting wood, stone, metals, etc. Also the animal assistants can help there too, but only certain ones. Also, Ark has cryopods for storing your animals/dinosaurs. You even throw em to release.

If they had exactly Pikachu or something it's one thing, but similar games are just part of the business.

It's so ingrained in our life processes. You know Calories? The capital C version(or Kcal in some countries) is 1000 calories. What do they measure? The potential heat whatever is being measured can generate. Our fuel intake is measured by how well it burns.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it felt like Hiccup's "You just pointed at all of me" quip.

Star Trek has always been political though?
