Evil Zone on PS1

It was a very very simple fighting game. Not a great game but it had potential.

It was a simple fighting game that you had to spend a few hours of tutorial to understand half of what the game wanted you to know.

Pretty neat ost though.

Orb-3D

It was an NES game that sorta had a pong mechanic as a base, but rather than just paddling back and forth, you had an objective every level that was often a puzzle of sorts. There was also a fuel gauge and a gas station in space.

I never did beat it, but I was able to make it a fair ways into it back in the day.

Great way to convince people that you're not a Russian puppet, Donald

If he is a puppet, his strings are being pulled.
If his strings are being pulled, the puppeteer is operating at a Trump level of intelligence given all the Russian scandals going on.
Only Trump could operate at his level of intelligence.
Therefore, Trump is not a puppet.

You just have to play the chess game and drink the kool-aid and possibly have given up on life, and you too can see the picture as clear as I.

You're assuming Putin wants to keep his leverage over Trump secret. Publicly undermining the federal government as a whole is a much bigger boon to him than pretty much anything he could actually get out of Trump.

I agree that would be a boon, I'm just unsure it would be wisest to make moves like that in this particular climate. Make the moves this blatant and there's gonna be some actions taken to limit that sort of influence. But then I doubt any of us have any political clout other than being generic citizens, so who can really say what the best course of actions might be for any of these humongous factions?

Arrowverse refers to Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and possibly if you really squint, Supergirl.

Black Mirror is what I voted for, because you could knock that out in a week, there really aren't that many episodes, but every episode is a good enough that it is someone's favorite. It is a great series.

Doctor Who is something I'd not mind seeing, particularly as I am still wading through some of the old doctors. The new series has still got it too, most recent episodes were amazing stuff.

Speaking of labeling states on a map, this is what the NYT got when they asked random people to find North Korea on a map:

That's not a "lol conservatives" thing either. Self-identified Independents did best, then Republicans, and Democrats did worst.

The one potentially interesting data point they got from this survey is that if you correctly found North Korea, you were LESS likely to favor military action against them.

Oh come on, I get that people might not look at a map much, or only know that it is 'somewhere in asia', but I find it difficult to believe that when confronted with a map and asked to point, that there would be a sizable number of fingers on China or India or Mongolia or...Japan. Sri Lanka is also pretty mysterious.

There has to be more to this story under the surface...there always seems to be with these sort of 'ha ha x nation people are dumb' geography stories.

Never forget the party of kek and freeze peach both not seeing the humor in a funny typo and getting outraged over a D-lister stunt on the same day.

Sad!

Calls for violence are not protected by the first amendment. Make fun of the guy all you want, but a severed head is well over the line.

covfefe is hilarious, because anyone who didn't know it was a typo for "coverage" isn't too bright and it shows how desperate the left is. They're the same people who think the president's dessert is a controversy.

So if a subset of the population were to cry death threats daily to a president, joke about how many states this president knows, and criticize what mustard they use, they would be liberal scum?

Trump meant to tweet "covfefe" guys.

I almost want this to be true. Then, decades from now, "covfefe" could end up in history books on one of those pages vaguely connected to the chapter in question that focus on some singular issue. Uses of code words in the early 21st century, it might be called. Students could be assigned questions about it on quizzes and tests. What a future that would be, all made possible by our great president Trump!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_multiplication#History

Lattice multiplication has been used historically in many different cultures. It is not known where it arose first, nor whether it developed independently within more than one region of the world. The earliest recorded use of lattice multiplication:

* in Arab mathematics was by Ibn al-Banna' al-Marrakushi in his Talkhis a'mal al-hisab, in the Maghreb in the late 13th century
* in European mathematics was by the unknown author of a Latin treatise in England, Tractatus de minutis philosophicis et vulgaribus, c. 1300
* in Chinese mathematics was by Wu Jing in his Jiuzhang suanfa bilei daquan, completed in 1450.

Scary new math!

Scary new math, used by muslims, europeans, and china, all the enemies of America!

S4E2: Handsome Ransom

Mechapillar! Arching for money!

Cute little exchange too. Poor Hank.

And right after mentioning rainbows, a guy with one on his chest bursts in. Captain Sunshine. Too OP. I am already trying to figure out his angle for when it is revealed he is secretly evil. He's too much like superman to not have some kind of kyptonite.

Dr. Ms. The Monarch has half a tan and half a number of hostages. Sorry Dean, I am sure someone will remember you eventually!

...and if pedestrian comments are to be believed, Captain Sunshine and the old Sgt. Hatred would possibly have been buddies. This might escalate quickly.

In loving memory Wonderboy III. 1990-2006. Meaning there were two others, and if I had to wager, their teens would have been the end of the road for them. What is the age rating on this show again?

Like if Superman and Batman had a lovechild....so obvious it is practically painful. There is even a giant coin in this Batcave of Solitude. "Die, Captain Sunshine" 2002, Monarch. What's on the back, I wonder? 'in monarch we trust'?

Curses, Hank is pointing out the obvious comparisons.

More importantly, THERE IS A GARGANTUA-2 BEING BUILT! Love me some space station action, it has been way too long since the gang have been in space!

Honestly, the weirdest thing about the sleepover ordeal for Hank has got to be a bed that doesn't close up and try to teach him things.

Captain Sunshine even has his own justice league analog. Bit of a cheap way to get new characters inserted, but effective.

Ah...the ol' 'unique radiation signature' trick. It makes about as much sense as it always does.

His league is newspeople. Alright, I'm on board. I can see the superhero spin headlines already.

"Shit, its Chuck Scarsdale, hide or we're gonna be on the news!" Amazing line.

Worthy of note, Hank kinda accidentally held his own against Monarch,

Also of note, Monarch finds himself in a wonderboy suit and immediately rolls with it to great effect.

"because YOUR POWERS DON'T WORK AT NIGHT!" That um...that's a pretty big kyptonite.

......MONARCH, NO, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT/ YOU COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING ELSE BUT THAT, ARGHHHHHHHHSFDGJKASDFGASD

"Woah, albino here" hah

Fun episode, a bit heavy handed with the batman and robin shtick, but some great interactions nonetheless. Damnit Monarch, why must you be so almost competent!

You don't need to explain how it might be difficult. But you're not explaining why it's difficult, just saying that the parent dun geddit.

If it's an unfamiliar strategy, then the work being assigned to the student will include examples. These "scary new math" examples always leave out that it's not that the parents don't know how to do it, but they refuse to learn how. It's usually that the child is asking for help later than they should've, or that the teacher made a bad worksheet by not properly giving examples for a new concept, or the child is hung up on a later step and the parent is freaking out about the stuff the child already knows how to do.

If it's an unfamiliar strategy to the student, there should be examples yes. But that is what time in class would be spent on doing. In a perfect world, the worksheet in question might have some kind of example done, but maybe not, particularly if it is already at a point where the child is assumed to be proficient enough to do without. A textbook might be an aid, assuming the child is at a school where those are assigned to them and can take them home.

Ultimately, there are a number of ways a parent can be in a situation where they lack sufficient context for the problem that would not exist with the method they do know.

Admittedly, the internet exists, but if the parent in question were clever enough to find the steps online, they're probably not the sort that would rage about 'the evils of common core'. And even if they are clever enough, they might strongly prefer the normal tried and true proper way that was good enough for them etc etc.

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

If you have a solved problem to examine and explicitly contrast with an example of the known method sure.

But imagine Han, a child setting up a problem like that, maybe working a bit of it and getting stuck. And then they ask their parent for help who has no idea what the procedures to follow for that box method are.

Whereas if the child had been doing the same problem in the style the parent is familiar with and were to get stuck, the parent would be able to follow.

I shouldn't need to explain how this might be difficult to you, Han.

You have to be incredibly stupid to not understand how the math on the left works.

I'm sorry, but I have to call foul on that statement. Like sure, I can decipher it based on knowing how and why multiplication does what it does, but if I were just presented a box and numbers would be at a loss for helping a child. It is a method that is going to be foreign to a lot of people. Especially people who were taught and prefer the method on the right.

Season 4 Episode 1: Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel

HELPER IS A WALKING EYE. YESSSSSSSSSSS

I see Hank's grown his hair out too, probably missing Brock. Sgt. Hatred seems to have stepped into that role for some unknown somehow allowable reason.

...instantly explained with a shot shortly following the updated intro.

I get that there is gonna absolutely be a contextual explanation for Dean's pro-hitler stance that suddenly exists, but I will say that after decade after decade of all the times in media where 'Hitler' has been synonymous with 'supreme evil', it would be nice if at some point that could be relaxed some.

I see 21 is taking a more leaderish role. Kinda figured that would be the case since he just had one of those traumatic events that always seem to bring out things in folks good and bad. The LARP theme is a bit silly, but definitely in character (and possibly 'in character' too >_>).

"This dog has a great evil in him!" Gee, I wonder who this evil is gonna be. I mean, come on, the mutt basically has the mustache.

"What's to stop me from killing you when you're under?" *grenade. pin pull. place in mouth* "Him" That's our Brock!

Well, 21 wanting to bring 24 back and paying with a rare comic does explain the comic seen everywhere else this episode...the burning question that nobody was asking.

Also Hunter might possibly have been secretly still with the OSI all along. I don't entirely buy it, but if it means I don't have to watch any more gruff face with tits, I easily approve. Just hope he doesn't pull a double double cross...

A very nonlinear episode here, but still pretty easy to follow for the most part. I want Helper to stay a walking eye forever.
