Yeah, but better, because it’s spelled wrong.

Yeah, I guess. I can follow you on that walk, but I feel like that kind of a plot left-turn is better suited, or at least, more expected in the realm of anime or something similar. I think it threw a lot of people off given that it went to the wonderful scientific accuracy of recreating accurate physics of a black hole inside of a supercomputer to generate the CGI, and explains relativistic time dilation to normies, and then just Deus ex machinas the whole problem with the “Power of Love” right at the end without even hinting that it was coming.

I need to watch the new one a couple more times before I can solidify an opinion on it, but I celebrate all the rest of them on an equal footing. My basic thought, is that the original was amazing, but it was also meant to sell the movie as a new concept. The other two are meant to be watched at a different level, which a lot of moviegoers don’t want to, but could only be made because of the success of the first one. That includes the animatrix. There are just too many wide open questions that the first one brushes off as movie logic unless you watch the other two, like how could the Oracle be a good guy, or tell the future, when she’s obviously a computer program, and how is one guy with completely unexplained to superpowers supposed to bring down the whole system.

I pulled up the ultimate cut a while back because I wanted to watch the movie, but I didn’t look at the timestamp before I started. I really like it, as a more thought-provoking, and loyal adaptation of the comic, but it seemed like it was running a bit long until I realized it was getting light outside again.

What is your interpretation of the second half?

Thoughts on the sequils?

Which cut?

I checked. It’s still enabled.

It should be. I just had an identical VM running on the same machine yesterday. Oddly, it stopped being able to boot for unclear reasons, so I’m trying a fresh install.

I initially read that as “It’s better than dome.” Which is an objectively solid pitch for anything.

Addressing your concerns in order: You should be. You will. It’s not up to you.

Sell me on Helix real quick. I’ve heard about it and it looks interesting but I’m not sure what the hook is.

You are correct.

Plebs…

sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of you with my apple juice “How did you get urgent security and application updates Grandpa?”

Thanks. Might do that this weekend.

Does this allow for easy upgrades and/or are there any issues with local storage? I used to run it about an age and a half ago, but I’ve recently wanted to spin an instance back up for a few reasons. These things change so fast, I looked away and now I’m out of the loop.

You’re a monster…

Best I can do is half Federation… 2/3 if you pay in cash.

It means they put a new sticker over the old one, and they don’t rattle when you shake them.
