Not including whatever Wagner got up to.

Well, there goes my sleep for the night.

 

It's really hard to put my thoughts about this this novella into a coherent form. Especially without spoilers.

Overall I liked it. It is thought provoking in ways I wasn't expecting.

If anything holds me back from an absolute recommendation is the prose. That it is a translation shows. 73 words in a sentence just doesn't work the same way in English as it does in some languages.

Only the most optimistic guesses about their air suggest there is any left in it at this point. We're pretty much at the recovery phase.

I'm entirely onboard and OK with your inclusion of GITS on the list and think that an examination of a theme inevitably needs to examine how a theme has evolved as it passes through other art forms.

You weren't out of the loop, SE was keeping it on the down low. Partly because there have already been two major production delays (COVID, invasion of Ukraine) and it hasn't been super clear when it would be ready for release. The producer is also doing double duty being the producer for 14 (if increasingly in name only) which probably isn't helping anything.

If that is what puts him where he belongs... I can live with it

LAMP + mediawiki went pretty quick for me. The issue was that I didn't want to dig through all their config files to tweak it to what I wanted.

But it is Bethesda we are talking about here lol.

I'm sure they will rely on the mod community for bug fixes like they have their last few games.

The ISP middleware is an interesting idea, basically an SSO (think the "Sign in with Google" you see everywhere). However, this would require some level of integration between every ISP and adult site, which would get seriously tedious as such things roll out all over the country. This doesn't even get into the fact that each law would vary somewhat in the specific requirements and that it just kicks the job to verifying IDs and ages to the ISP instead of the downstream site.

Own it. Way back when on Reddit there was a guy who basically made a meme out of doing this.

He moved to Twitter. Apparently Fox has or thinks they have some sort of rights to him hosting news through 2024 as per their contract with him.
