StealThisSheen 06/24/22 7:09:19 PM #30 | Mac Arrowny posted... Why not give everyone underscores and make them appear as spaces? Likely because certain systems simply aren't coded to handle spaces at all , and it's probably more cost efficient to just do away with spaces than it is to update said code. Gamefaqs.com probably isn't something high up on the cost priority list. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

StealThisSheen 06/24/22 5:43:17 PM #21 | And to be clear what I mean by "legacy" code, it usually means code that hasn't been updated in awhile, or has been written by somebody else entirely that is no longer there, and thus isn't entirely easy to even understand, let alone change/update. Could also mean code that there just isn't enough value in taking the time to update, plain and simple, and thus it's left to run as is. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

StealThisSheen 06/24/22 5:36:01 PM #19 | TomNook posted... I like how they call it a different username just because you have spaces. I don't think that word means that. No, it literally is. It means some of the systems haven't been coded to be able to handle spaces, so instead of just Space Name Here, you also have Space_Name_Here in the other system/s. Thus, you technically have two usernames. Now, why that even came to exist as an issue, who knows. Spaces shouldn't be difficult to code around. Inconvenient? Sure, but not difficult. My guess is there's a bunch of legacy code being dealt with. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

It's also pretty much the highest feat it ever shows him do. EDIT: I should clarify. When I say "peak human," I mean that it's about the peak of what human characters in that universe and similar universes can achieve without seeming supernatural or anything, and thus it means there's also nothing to suggest they'd ever be able to go beyond such limits very far at all.

Some people are so charismatic, so influential, that the mark they made continues after they're gone. Would you say that Martin Luther King Jr wasn't charismatic because the Civil Rights Movement continued after he died? I don't believe that comparison works because I don't believe Trump will be revered when he's done. I literally think they're going to move on to the next one. Basically, I think MAGA/America First is bigger than Trump. He was the right person at the right time, but I think they'll be more than willing to move on without a second thought when it's time, and he's not going to become some MLK-esque figure at all. I think he lives in the moment and the moment alone, honestly. Trump gets credit for kicking it off, sure, but I think he pretty much gets forgotten as soon as the next "Chosen One" is chosen.

Getting people obsessed with you to the point of seeking you out and wanting to attend events where they can cheer for you? That's charisma, and believe me, there is a marked difference between peoples' feelings for someone like Trump and someone like Cruz See, I think this is where we disagree. I don't feel the loyalty/devotion to Trump is all that special or unique at all, partly because they've shown such a willingness to turn on him already as soon as he steps out of line with what they expect of him, and partly because we've seen many others like him get similar reactions. Trump's is "special" in that he was the President, and he's clearly been chosen to run again. Were it Cruz that became President and did the exact same thing, I'd bet money Cruz would be in the exact same place Trump is right now. Basically, I think Trump is 100% replaceable. It's the messaging, not Trump. Maybe I'm wrong.
