the fact that in canon there's a very good chance Vanessa has no idea that Gregory was ever ggy or possessed or anything and she just never thinks about the messenger who was manipulating her again because she's focused on moving on in life, and the only thing keeping it at a chance and not canon is no blatant statement in a game bc everything points towards it. there's no way that she freed Gregory with balloon world being out of the way and Cassie is clueless about a lot (no hate to her) and Freddy was on ggys side and so was every other robot

this is how Tony Becker freeing Gregory in the games can be real and true and the best thing ever

It's interesting, because at my last job my boss was good---very good---about creating and fostering relationships. At the time I was horrified, because why are you texting our general counsel? Why are you calling someone up and asking them to opine on something that's just showed up on your radar?? This is business, we need to do business-y things in a business way!!!

It took me a long time to recognize what this approach bought him. He was terrible at data entry, yes. I don't think he once ever approved my vacation time, just said "sure, put your out of office message on." (He hated approving vacation time, so he just....didn't.) But he was looped in, hooked in, always consulted. Everyone picked up his calls, because if he was calling it wasn't going to be a haranguing, he wanted to work with you to achieve both your goals, and honestly? you could call him out of the blue too. It worked both ways. He was crystal clear when things were handed down from the top (usually because we'd get a beer and he'd complain about it) and when requests were coming from him/our team. And he was always, always very clear that we were his people, and it was Us against The Company; he was consistently, unequivocally and completely on our side.

(........this did not stop The Company from pulling its shenanigans, but it always felt like he was siding with Us when it did.)

I know this, because now I'm in an organization where my boss isn't on our side, where things aren't explained---even when explanations would make the boss' requests more reasonable. I'm aware of other situations too, where members of the team have been what seems like deliberately insulted or attacked by our boss, which is frankly unnecessary.

I don't have a conclusion to draw from all of this, and god knows that bad bosses are ten a penny, each terrible in their own way. Still, I do think about it more and more, particularly as I stare down 1 year with the company.

The Wheelclair Argument (1x05)

watching the show the first couple times around i thought that mike got upset out of defense for el. but when rewatching this time, i realized mike got upset because lucas was losing hope on finding will. thats what made mike angry. the fact that they werent actually closer to finding will.

at first when lucas says el's been playing them, mike deny's it because he thinks that el's been helping them find will. el's importance to mike in the first season is to find will; to reconnect mike with his best friend. mike has no issue leaving el when he thinks that will died, and he had no issue using her again to find will when he thinks will's still alive (and I don't recall any scene of him apologizing to el for how he treated her during the quarry scene.)

secondly, we don't see mike defending el out of personal interest throughout this scene. in fact, when lucas says how el used the party, or when he claims that mike is blind because el isn't grossed out by him, mike doesn't look particularly angry or mad. even when lucas shouts in his face to “wake the hell up.”

but you know when we do see mike get ticked off? when lucas says that el is letting will die in the UD. that moment is what made mike get majorly pissed off, even more than he was beforehand. hell, there's even a whole beat after lucas yells in mike's face. mike doesn't get defensive over el, he get's defensive over will, and the fact that they do have hope in finding him.

when we look at when mike decides to speak up, it's not really to defend el's position. the closest we get is when he says "screw you." but there are many other moments where lucas spews things about el that mike says nothing about. but the moment lucas suggests that will could be dying, mike yells at him. he can't bear the possibility that he'd have to grieve will's death again. even when we examine camera angles, it shows mike's reaction to lucas saying that mike is blinded by el not being grossed out by him, and the reaction to him saying that will could be dying.

and at the end of the scene, when mike yells at el. “what is wrong with you!?” if mike was defending el while arguing with lucas, then wouldn't he show at least a bit of concern for her and how she feels? which also leads me to believe that when he was looking for el after lucas stormed off, it was because he still had hope for finding will, and as far as they knew: el was their only hope.

Okay so let’s say you have a basement just full of different computers. Absolute hodgepodge. Ranging in make and model from a 2005 dell laptop with a landline phone plug to a 2025 apple with exactly one usbc, to an IBM.

And you want to use this absolute clusterfuck to, I don’t know, store/run a sentient AI! How do you link this mess together (and plug it into a power source) in a way that WONT explode? Be as outlandish and technical as possible.

Oh.

Oh you want to take Caine home with you, don't you! You want to make the shittiest most fucked up home made server setup by fucking daisy chaining PCs together until you have enough processing power to do something. You want to try running Caine in your basement, absolutely no care for the power draw that this man demands.

Holy shit, what have you done? really long post under cut.

Slight disclaimer: I never actually work with this kind of computing, so none of this should be taken as actual, usable advice. That being said, I will cite sources as I go along for easy further research.

First of all, the idea of just stacking computers together HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE!!! This is known as a computer cluster! Sometimes, this is referred to as a supercomputer. (technically the term supercomputer is outdated but I won't go into that)

Did you know that the US government got the idea to wire 1,760 PS3s together in order to make a supercomputer? It was called the Condor Cluster! (tragically it kinda sucked but watch the video for that story)

Now, making an at home computer cluster is pretty rare as it's not like computing power scaled by adding another computer. It takes time for the machines to communicate in between each other, so trying to run something like a videogame on multiple PCs doesn't work. But, lets say that we have a massive amount of data that was collected from some research study that needs to be processed. A cluster can divide that computing among the multiple PCs for comparatively faster computing times. And yes! People have been using this to run/train their own AI so hypothetically Caine can run on a setup like this.

Lets talk about the external hardware needed first. There are basically only two things that we need to worry about. Power (like ya pointed out) and Communication.

Power supply is actually easier than you think! Most PCs have an internal power supply, so all you would need to do is stick the plug into the wall! Or, that is if we weren't stacking an unknowable amount of computers together. I have a friend that had the great idea to try and run a whole ass server rack in the dormitory at my college and yeah, he popped a fuse so now everyone in that section of the building doesn't have power. But that's a good thing, if you try to plug in too many computers on the same circuit, nothing should light on fire because the fuse breaks the circuit (yay for safety!). But how did my friend manage without his server running in his closet? Turns out there was a plug underneath his bed that was on it's own circuit with a higher limit (I'm not going to explain how that works, this is long enough already).

So! To do this at home, start by plugging everything into an extension cord, plug that into a wall outlet and see if the lights go out. I'm serious, blowing a fuse won't break anything. If the fuse doesn't break, yay it works! Move onto next step. If not, then take every other device off that circuit. Try again. If it still doesn't work, then it's time to get weird.

Some houses do have higher duty plugs (again, not going to explain how your house electricity works here) so you could try that next. But remember that each computer has their own plug, so why try to fit everything into one outlet? Wire this bad boy across multiple circuits to distribute the load! This can be a bit of a pain though, as typically the outlets for the each circuits aren't close to each other. An electrician can come in and break up which outlet goes to which fuse, or just get some long extension cords. Now, this next option I'm only saying this as you said wild and outlandish, and that's WIRING DIRECTLY INTO THE POWER GRID. If you do that, the computers can now draw enough power to light themselves on fire, but it is no longer possible to pop a fuse because the fuse is gone. (Please do not do this in real life, this can kill you in many horrible ways)

Communication (as in between the PCs) is where things start getting complex. As in, all of those nasty pictures of wires pouring out of server racks are usually communication cables. The essential piece of hardware that all of these computers are wired into is the switch box. It is the device that handles communication between the individual computers. Software decided which computer in the cluster gets what task. This is known as the Dynamic Resource Manager, sometimes called the scheduler (may run on one of the devises in the cluster but can have it's own dedicated machine). Once the software has scheduled the task, the switch box handles the actual act of getting the data to each machine. That's why speed and capacity are so important with switch boxes, they are the bottleneck for a system like this.

Uhh, connecting this all IBM server rack? That's not needed in this theoretical setup. Choose one computer to act as the 'head node' to act as the user access point and you're set. (sorry I'm not exactly sure what you mean by connect everything to an IBM)

To picture what all of this put together would look like, here’s a great if distressingly shaky video of an actual computer cluster! Power cables aren't shown but they are there.

But what about cable management? Well, things shouldn't get too bad given that fixing disordered cables can be as easy as scheduling the maintenance and ordering some cables. Some servers can't go down, so bad management piles up until either it has to go down or another server is brought in to take the load until the original server can be fixed. Ideally, the separate computers should be wired together, labeled, then neatly run into a switch box.

Now, depending on the level of knowledge, the next question would be "what about the firewall". A firewall is not necessary in a setup like this. If no connections are being made out of network, if the machine is even connected to a network, then there is no reason to monitor or block who is connecting to the machine.

That's all of the info about hardware around the computers, let's talk about the computers themselves!

I'm assuming that these things are a little fucked. First things first would be testing all machines to make sure that they still function! General housekeeping like blasting all of the dust off the motherboard and cleaning out those ports. Also, putting new thermal paste on the CPU. Refresh your thermal paste people.

The hardware of the PCs themselves can and maybe should get upgraded. Most PCs (more PCs than you think) have the ability to be upgraded! I'm talking extra slots for RAM and an extra SADA cable for memory. Also, some PCs still have a DVD slot. You can just take that out and put a hard drive in there! Now upgrades aren't essential but extra memory is always recommended. Redundancy is your friend.

Once the hardware is set, factory reset the computer and... Ok, now I'm at the part where my inexperience really shows. Computer clusters are almost always done with the exact same make and model of computer because essentially, this is taking several computers and treating them as one. When mixing hardware, things can get fucked. There is a version of linux specifically for mixing hardware or operating systems, OSCAR, so it is possible. Would it be a massive headache to do in real life and would it behave in unpredictable ways? Without a doubt. But, it could work, so I will leave it at that. (but maybe ditch the Mac, apple doesn't like to play nice with anything)

Extra things to consider. Noise level, cooling, and humidity! Each of these machines have fans! If it's in a basement, then it's probably going to be humid. Server rooms are climate controlled for a reason. It would be a good idea to stick an AC unit and a dehumidifier in there to maintain that sweat spot in temperature.

The most hilarious thing for me is the apologia of some fans who have come to tout Arcane S2 ending as "realistic.".

An entire show worth of build-up of police brutality and division culminating in majority of government body being assassinated (and then next person in power literally gassing the poor) got written off because the show dedicated the second half of its final season to a subplot of everyone uniting against interesting-character-suddenly-turned-magic-technogod-villain and an Evil Other Empire from Outside in a conclusion that involved a character spending entire season away to develop superpowers, dead characters being retconned as alive(and then not used because gotta set up an MCU of More Shows rather than telling a story), magic robot zombies being fought, world-wide robot apocalypse, parallel universes, and time travel as the class struggle, character psychology, prominent LGBTQ+ romance(gotta love sidelining the queer for the centrist nonsense) and the nature of the class division that the first season intricately built up all take a backseat to deliver the most worn-down MCU style trope.

Like, can y'all not?

For some, S2 worked; for some, it absolutely didn't, but like or dislike the messy season 2, it's not debatable that it's a completely different show than many fell in love with in S1.

And certainly not because "it got more realistic.".

Another hc i have is that wxs move in together after high school for a little. Tsukasa gets what is basically the main bedroom and decorates it similarly to how his room currently looks. It’s very basic, but formal looking. Minimal, tidy, etc etc.

This doesn’t stay for too long as various stickers and post-its spawn in the room whenever he seems to leave it for too long. The writing is suspiciously very Emu-like, but she claims to be innocent.

Various brochures for shows don’t randomly show up, but begin to pile up as Nene and Tsukasa discuss shows in the room. Being one who prefers tidiness, Tsukasa naturally begins to pin them around his room. Their own shows take center stage (center wall?), but there are a handful of from shows that they’ve watched or want to watch.

Of course, Rui tries to make little tasks around the room a bit more efficient. A personalized laundry sorter, a new sparkly spotlight to replace his desk lamp, they install noise insulation for late-night practicing. They don’t take up too much space, but Tsukasa can’t help but appreciate His Director’s work.

And the one day Tsukasa realizes how different his room is, how it’s still distinctly his, but how the people in him life has added so much to it- both his room, and his life.
