Amazing, thank you!

The best reason to keep cranking out new ST shows is to give some future Lower Decks type show something to reference.

I’ll also mention Dhalgren by Samuel Delaney. I felt like I was on drugs while reading that book, loved it.

Any of the weird fiction by Steve Erickson, but this is probably my favorite: Tours of the Black Clock

I forget where I read it, but apparently this is being pushed to replace or augment court stenography. Apparently, there is more demand for court recorders than stenographers to fulfill (not sure if this is true, but that’s the claim), so this option is being proposed as the AI dictation requires less training than stenography.

So, all this leads to The Talos Principle, right?

Decades ago, I worked for a laser animation company. We built lasers and created animated programs for planetarium laser shows and live events. It was a fun experience, but hella niche.

Not OP, but that looks like Anthony Chapel in HotSprings, Arkansas, USA.

Once you’re aware of the concept of Chekhov’s gun, you start to instinctively spot devices that are meant to be called back later in the script and subconsciously anticipate them, making it a Pavlov-Chekhov gun.

But if the initial introduction of the Pavlov-Chekhov gun is too forced/obvious, you might feel compelled to turn off such a predictable movie before the device is recalled and you’ll never know if it was actually brought back. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t, maybe it exists in an unobserved quantum state… a Schrödinger-Pavlov-Chekhov gun.

Yeah, it’s looking like I’ll wait another year and take a look another look at production vehicles. I’m probably in way over my head thinking about conversion.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I’m US based. Sorry for making y’all assume.

I also like the idea of converting, but the quotes I got are from a few years ago. I should probably check again and see if there are new kit options. On top of the kit cost is finding a local shop that can handle the conversion. I’ll keep exploring that route.

That’s no coincidence. Metalocalypse just dropped the whole season 1 on youtube and while watching I realized that my friend’s game character bears a resemblance.

An ancient Wacom Intuos 3. Still works pretty well… the only thing I haven’t figured out yet is how to map the 2 touch slider pads to something like opacity.

I wouldn’t say that in earshot of Atticus. He may not know what a yeti is, but he’s likely to take offense.

That’s exactly what I based my character on, glad to hear it’s a good likeness.

In Alaska, the train trip from Anchorage to Talkeetna is pretty darn beautiful.

Extra shoutout to the book The Long Ships by Frans G Bengtsson, an amazing adventure comedy around the christianization of the Vikings.

Thank you both, I’m starting to get it.

Thank you! I’ll start there and check that I can easily access the logs.
