From Bow’s imagination in 2x04 “Roll With It”.

Yes. The battery compartment makes a handy seat too, which we definitely probably maybe never rode on. Ahem.

Henchman 24: Come on! They have one female servicing a large group of males. That implies a species that lays eggs.

Henchman 21: Oh my God, you’re crazy! They’re so obviously mammals!

Henchman 24: Please! She’d be in estrus 24/7 if she didn’t lay eggs.

Henchman 21: Smurfs don’t lay eggs! I won’t tell you this again! Papa Smurf has a fucking beard! They’re mammals!

Not one person said Goldeneye? Wow. The main menu is good of course, but that pause music is legendary.

And now that I’ve had some more time to think: what was up with the modern music this season? It was distracting and took me out of the story every time.

Yeah, the whole discussion about Batel’s combined genetic memories just happened way too quickly. I might have been on board with the explanation, but it really took me out of the episode to see how they rushed through figuring out everything. No time for untangling a mystery, let’s dash off to the next bit.

Looking back, it felt like some of Discovery’s bad habits leaked into SNW this season and I’m a little underwhelmed. Still love the show, but I hope the remaining seasons are better.

Its. No apostrophe unless you’re abbreviating “it is”.

Murder, She Wrought

It’s from the end of the last episode, between the #andamovie hashtag and the credits.

I think you meant “bottom to top”. But yes, that does change the tone a bit.

Not 100% the same, but their science advisor Erin Macdonald basically played herself in Prodigy.

If you click the Legends button there’s info from the pre-Disney era. Apparently the term dates back to 1983.

“We need some more secret sauce! Put this mayonnaise in the sun.”

It’s an example of “headlinese”, the odd rules used to shorten headlines. It’s at least decades old and comes from newspapers where space was limited. In this case the comma subs in for “and”.

That said, I agree it’s old-fashioned and confusing, and wouldn’t be missed if news sites collectively agreed to stop doing it.

It’s so weird to me that no one uses the term “slowdown” any more. Lag and latency meant networking delays back in the days you’re talking about. Not a complaint, just an observation that I’ve been wondering about the last few years.

But yeah, as others said, slowdown/lag was pretty common. I immediately think of the ninjas jumping out of the water in TMNT3, the beginning of Top Man’s stage in Mega Man 3, and the last boss of The Guardian Legend, but there were many more. Early 3d is shocking too, with more sub-30-fps games than you remember. Some called themselves at 20, even. [Edit: Now that I think about it, even some NES games capped at 20. Strange times.]

Sadly it was much more tame: search engines. They’ve been crawling Lemmy for a couple years now. I remembered just enough to get hits on that post from a couple instances. Luckily one didn’t delete it when OP scrapped the original. I’m a bit curious myself why that is, but in any case it gives us a backup of the post.

I found a federated copy of the post: https://m.lemmy.hostux.net/posts/l.hostux.net/c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world/comments/386931

The post’s text is gone and OP’s account is deleted, but the username and full discussion are there.
