Okay, but what about time travel in a stable loop? If you're only going back in time to bang past you because when you were younger future you showed up to bang you, what is that? It's the same you, but at a different point on your timeline.

I did 30 instead of 3 and forgot about it once. Granted, I was about eight or nine at the time...

It still bugs me that the old drive connections are called PATA now and not IDE.

Not after The Naked Now.

They parted on somewhat decent terms by the end of the episode.

Until Deanna pointed out how lame the chalice was I assumed the holy rings were planetary rings. I also completely forgot that a season 3 episode showed Betazed from orbit without rings.

The aquatic ones might not even have the same concept of "up".

Other than the cooking thing, which is more us understanding it's better for us than a hard requirement, humans are actually amazing omnivores. Dogs and wolves are some of our closest competitors there and we're still miles ahead.

They basically just gave two thirds of the cast Spock's sense of humor.

Ye olde sieges cut off supply lines and forced the defenders to subsist on rations. Once those started running low, they started starving. Eventually the options were starve to death or surrender. These sieges frequently lasted months and sometimes years. Given travel times, it could also be weeks before anyone realized something was wrong and mobilized a force to break the siege.

Ukraine can only do infrequent drone raids. In order to properly siege Moscow, they would need to lock down all ways in and out of the city, and keep it that way for months, possibly longer given modern food preservation techniques and the viability of backyard farming. Additionally, sieging a city no longer prevents the people from communicating with the outside world, meaning other Russian forces would respond in days.

There's a popular urban legend that Square was on the verge of going under and expected the game to be their last, hence the title, but in reality what happened was that the creator wanted the game to initialize as FF and his first choice, Fighting Fantasy, was already taken. He was planning on retiring after the game was published, though, so he eventually settled on Final Fantasy. Still didn't work out, though, because he directed 1-5 and then contributed to 6-10.

Actually introduced in Ripto's Rage. The Reignited version backported them to the first game, though.

 

After having printed the previous version of my poster and discovering that the overall darkness made it difficult to see when framed (light reflects off the glass or plastic and the glare kills it) I have done a bunch of post processing in the hopes that it will turn out better.

 

Inspired by this recent thread.
