Pikkon is non-canon

I don't know about Cell coming back since his perfect form was only possible with android 17 and 18, who are both alive now. So that would be kind of a mess.

Eh, he came back perfect after self-destructing while imperfect after having 18 removed, so it wouldnt be too big a stretch in that regard.

JonThePenguin
01/05/18 12:57:58 PM

Kingsglaive is a military unit made up of refugees from the other regions, with access to borrowed magic through the kings power. You play a member of this in Comrades, and of course theyre the focus of the Kingsglaive movie.

Crownsguard seems to be the personal guards of the royal family. Gladio, Ignis, and Prompto are Nocts.

Kings Shield I assume is the leader of the Crownsguard, or at least a special position within it. I think Cor may be a former one of these from Regiss younger days.

Stuff that lightsabers cant cut through was a long-established part of the old EU, dating back at least to Zahns Thrawn trilogy where cortosis would short out the blade. (These books also introduced creatures that created a bubble in which the Force couldnt be felt or used, explained as an evolutionary defense against other creatures on their home planet that used the Force to hunt.) So you wouldnt actually expect the deep SW fanbase to care about lightsabers not cutting through everything.

Meanwhile in Ep 1 there were the blast doors that could be melted but it took time, so you could also say the incidental contact in the duel with TR-8R isnt long enough to cut whatever the opposing weapon was made of.

Any recommendations for a reliable HDMI splitter? Right now our TV has three ports, and we have PS3, 360, Xbone, Wii U, Switch, and a streaming box. While we can run one of those through the Xbone (its been the 360 for quite a while), and of course Switch and a lot of Wii U can run without the TV, would be nice to have a solution that doesnt involve messing with the cables anytime we want to swap around.


I tried various budget HDMI splitters on Amazon, and all of them broke within a couple months. Literally all of them, out of five or so. When I decided to look for something a bit better, I ended up buying this one (I needed 4K/60) https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FXALWYY/

Now, there are still plenty of reviews on that one saying it breaks a lot. There's just no reliability in these products until you get to the level of $1000 receivers.

But that one I linked is the only one of six that appears to be made of good parts and hasn't broken. My best advice is buy from Amazon so you have a great return policy.

Ugh, I was afraid of that. Oh well.

So re: the UN Jerusalem vote.

In a speech before the vote, US permanent representative Nikki Haley stressed that the US decision did not prejudge any final status issues, and did not preclude a two-state solution if the parties agreed to that.

"The United States will remember this day, on which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation," she said.

"America will put our embassy in Jerusalem. That is what the American people want us to do. And it is the right thing to do. No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that."




is this actually something Americans want even? Why do any of us give a shit about the location of Isreal's capital?

I went to a Christian high school. Israel and Jerusalem specifically are highly revered as Gods chosen people and potential harbingers of the end times, plus I had one teacher tell us he firmly believed that the only reason God hadnt torn down the US with all the growing acceptance of immorality and whatnot was the countrys steadfast support of Israel.

What Im saying is yes, there are a lot of people in the US who consider Israel a big. Fucking. Deal.
