So if I’m getting this right they do keep biometrics from people who have never agreed to anything, but only on smartglassers’ devices and they are not transmitting them. Yet?

Still a huge invasion of privacy. Nobody stores data just to be left “pending” in a random folder. Yeah it’s very similar to when they made pseudo-profiles from tagged people on facebook pics. Was not even aware they were eventually and succesfully sued for it.

Can’t get the full article.

Is that really saying they sent updates to non-glasses users’ phones only to access their biometrics, so they can basically broadcast that identification to their glasses?

No way this is EU GDPR compliant. So glad I got a phone that doesn’t come with system-embedded meta shit.

The fact the game has changed logo and gog decided they’d include the old one stinks.

This makes the runes in the gog mail feel like a reaction to the devs “going back” on their original iconography and an attempt at fixing it.

“Oh, you changed your symbol because it was too nazi-like? Let us double down on it.”

I think you didn’t parse that comment right.

No matter how you call him, do not listen to what he says.

Truth be told I must have played that for like 10 minutes or so. I liked Phantasia and Eternia, I started cringing quite a bit at Symphonia but mostly had fun anyway, and then I had seen enough “tales of” after that, and really thought ToS in particular didn’t need a sequel. Main reason we even got ToS2 back then was because there was a hack that used it as an entry point to softmod your wii, before there were more convenient ways.

I had no idea Tales of Symphonia 2 had a current meta discussion.

“An advanced civilization”?

Sure, try typing “Sol-3” and “Sol-3a” into wikipedia.

Ah yes, the mad scientist way. Keep clear of the walls during storms though.

Also when you have to drill into a wall (say, to get a cable through it), those devices that detect wires won’t be able to help you anymore. Sooo… Good luck?

Even when an actual Japanese restaurant franchise opens a place here, they are usually run by local people. I don’t think that has much to do with how authentic the food is.

Like I don’t care if my baguette was technically made by a guy born in Clermont-Ferrand. Flour, salt, water, baker’s yeast. Nothing else. Do it right, and congratulations, that’s a baguette.

I hate running in a time fire, never a good time.

Well the title itself is already that joke, I guess it’s their way to hammer it in for everyone.

Can you come back in a century or two?

The way I’ve been introduced to it (informally, and with the cardboard variant), during sprint planning everyone gives an estimate of how hard a particular issue/task will be.

Note that it was not said how long. These are specifically not supposed to be units of time because “someone with experience might do a 13 in 10 hours, while a beginner may need 20”.

And it’s Fibonacci because… I don’t know, I’m sure there’s an official explanation about that choice of distribution but it’s basically an attempt at witchcraft to me.

You know that thing about the Spinal Tap amp going up to 11 so it can be “one” louder? That’s how I feel about those cards. In practice I had a much more sane version of this in another team, and that was just “this will be very easy to do”, “this will take time” and “this might be too complex for the benefits”.

You know, there’s decent stuff in agile, as long as it’s mostly general guidelines and a way to set reasonable goals.

And then there’s stuff like decks of cards with the fibonacci sequence on them and suddenly the team is supposed to play poker to decide how “hard” a task will be.

While there is no direct romantic interaction between Link and Zelda, the whole motivation for Cia to turn evil is because she wants Link for herself, but it’s just not meant to be because all Links (sharing the same soul, that part is indeed canon) already have a universally appointed “soulmate”.

What that soulmate deal could actually mean might be debatable (it’s kind of loaded already), but anyway, Cia is only interested romantically. She’s got a literal fucking temple full of roses and statues dedicated to the guy.

Also her slightly saner alter-ego comes to the same conclusion, and just drops the case instead because she’s nice. They’re basically supposed to be omniscient.

This shit is awful.

There’s a trick to it. You have to git gud.

Of course shippers are always going to do their thing but really Skyward Sword is basically the only game in the series with actual hints of those two being in love.

Some others have them at most good friends, and in a few they barely meet at all. Including one with a way more credible potential love interest.

The first Hyrule Warriors is based on the premise that all Links and Zeldas through time and space (being basically reincarnations) are destined to be together, but, it’s not canon and written like an insufferable fan fiction, original Mary-Sue character very much included.

TP’s last third or so definitely feels a bit rushed.The more you progress, the shorter the inter-dungeon quests are, to the point the first time I went through the game I didn’t even realize I had already entered the last dungeon before getting through a few rooms.

That said, TP has a general item problem because the first dungeon item is also barely used through the game. But it’s just a rather basic boomerang with a wind gimmick, so I didn’t care much about that one.
