Yes, but also:

And the journals quickly recognized her expertise.

So no crying historians in that story. She researched, proposed an article and the community said: “Good idea!” The whole “Oh, all those fine scientists laughed about the average joe/jane!” is just a common tale in those stories.

Moment, der Gedankengang ist also: Nur 8-Jährige glauben mir, wenn ich von freier Energie schwurbele. Also brauche ich ein Team aus Grundschulingenieuren!

Let’s lick it first, then piss on it to prevent counter-licking.

I declare ownership of this car!

…

That’s how it works, right?

So, it’s a Butt-Hydra?

Yup, absolutely! Something like 15 - 32 should be fitting.

Ok, die t-online-Umfrage ist doch genauso Grütze, dass sie direkt die Narrative mitliefert.

Wo ist meine Antwort: “Ja, weil es in Zukunft den Wohlstand Deutschlands sichert”? Nein, es muss unbedingt impliziert werden, dass E-Autos Deutschland ruinieren werden.

So, add some Romulan blood for that sweet copper.

Ich hab es immer als allgemeinen News-Aggregator gesehen. Ich bin da, um kurzfristig über Dinge informiert zu werden. Tatsächlich nutze ich am Ende immernoch am Meisten RSS-Reader, die das meistens einfacher und gleichzeitiger spezifischer erfüllen. Alles andere… keime Ahnung.

Mein Hauptproblem mit Mastodon ist eher, dass ich mir unabsichtlich ein Doomscroll-Profil zusammengestellt habe. Deswegen bin ich einfach allein für meine geistige Gesundheit nicht mehr so häufig auf meinem Profil.

A maintenance job on a foreign space station with questionable technical standards and used as a slave labor camp just a year ago. I think he expected some challenge but more of the technical kind than just straight up torture.

the word “yoink,” a coinage of Meyer’s, which characters sometimes utter in the act of snatching something

But you would not argue that F:NV is the spiritual “successor” to those movies just because they were referenced.

If I didn’t know about Hotline Miami and you told me about like: “It’s like somebody made a new Hitman game!” I would be completely lost playing the game. Whole different perspective, style, flow. IMO being a “successor” implies more than just similar elements or references.

That said, wtaching out for examples I do not find so many other, that I think are similiarly weak as the Hitman/Hotline one. So it may be the exception in the list.

The used definition is sometimes really broad here. I mean, ok, Dead Space to Callisto Protocol or Titan Quest to Grim Dawn is obvious but Hotline Miami is the Spiritual Successor to Hitman because… you are have to kill people and when you fail you go try again? Very weak. Just being influenced or having a vaguely similar theme shouldn’t make it a “successor”.

That’s because our all file systems are god’s trash can.

Wobei das etwas ist, dass seine Anwälte jetzt erzählen, damit das Gericht die Summe nochmal drückt. Deswegen würde ich es moch nicht für bare Münze nehmen.
