    Street Fighter wasn’t just a generic script, it was a GI Joe script for a live action adaptation that hadn’t gone through. I wanna say they only got the Street Fighter license in order to salvage the project.

    Apparently the Mario Bros Movie actually had a good script that was much closer to source material, only for the directors to throw it out because they don’t do fantasy, only cyberpunk.

    Prince of Persia was at least partially written by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the series. Three other writers also got writing credits as well, but my understanding is that Mechner was involved throughout the process. Which is crazy because of just how bad it is compared to the Sands of Time.

    Similarly, Wing Commander was written and directed by Chris Roberts, which makes me wonder how he could get so much wrong. Though in retrospect, I’m kind of surprised it came out at all.


  • Best guess, sunset is being defined as a specific time. Sunset isn’t necessarily the point at which all sunlight is gone, and even then, the time the sun goes down varies depending on where you are within a given time zone. If they just used an arbitrary time or an almanac listing for twilight for each day, they could easily end up including slivers of daylight in their post sunset data.

    Which is really pointless since this is just the same old “BuT sOlAr DoEsN’t WoRk At NiGhT” argument that idiots have been making for decades. But I suppose you gotta at least pretend to use real world data to make it look sciencey.














  • It’s just too bad that people are only capable of one form of political engagement at a time. There’s no way that someone could try to organize in their community and fill out a ballot a few times a year.

    And really, why would you? Things will be exactly the same no matter who is in power as long as they aren’t 100% aligned with your views.

    Nah, best to mock anyone who chooses coalition building over ideological purity and stick to the plan of having a tiny fraction of the population lead a revolution… eventually.
