I like many aspects of how Villa Dellamorte looks - from little I know about rennesaince Italian style residences, the overall chunky silhouette of the bigger buildings and flat-angled roofs look right. I couldn't however put my finger on what exactly makes it look a bit like a modern tourist destination, and then I got it: it's the way it's lit. Historically, artificial lighting was more of a luxury than nowadays, and especially the very strong spotlights illuminating the walls from the ground level remind me heavily of modern museums.

I understand that leaving it all unilluminated could make the navigation more confusing for the player (even if it's not a dark night at all), but the style of illumination screaming "Important Historical Building! (Very old!)" seems like a bit of an odd design decision. Unless maybe illuminating everything is a way to make potential assassins' work at least a bit harder, idk.

On the other hand I'm impressed that the light sources have been clearly thought upon. I thought at first that because of the strenght of the lamps and colour of the light these would have to be magic, but it turns out that they are designed to be fire-based lights. They look a bit like oil lamps, though I'm skeptical if an oil lamp, even with a reflective surface, could produce such a strong beam of light.

I am so unwell about this because this gives another whole meaning to that scene when Hunter is looking at his helmet.

Copy/Paste this one

We lost Larry Tesler 5 years ago today.You know Larry. We’ve all used what Larry invented…more than once. He invented the cut, copy and paste commands on that computer keyboard of yours. Don’t you just hate it when people copy and paste your joke to other social media? Repost if you agree.  :0)(That one is for you Larry)

Years Ago, Aria "Sec" Secco of the Adminverse Received a Gift

In a locked drawer next to Aria’s bed, there is a USB stick.

On its side in permanent marker is a simple little drawing of some kind of derpy little grinning monster face. The USB contents include a number of programs with silly names, and a README file.

In the event that Aria finds herself in serious danger from somebody online, the file has instructions on how and when to use the various programs loaded onto the USB. With a promise that they will strongly encourage anyone messing with Aria’s PC or any of her accounts to back off.

There is one program that the readme describes as only for the most extreme of circumstances. It’s the nuclear option. Scorched earth. The readme warns that running the program it may ruin Aria’s PC beyond repair, and possibly release a nasty virus onto the unsuspecting internet at large. But it will get the job done. The programs name?

This entire time, Sec has had the means to possibly kill Kinito and everyone on his server. Or at least do a significant amount of damage.

She would never ever use it, of course. It would go against everything she believes in, everything she stands for. To just kill everyone like that, even if Kinito became a danger to the world at large, isn’t something she would ever, ever choose to do.

But just so you know, she could.

May I borrow your cable?

12 years ago this week, this cable for all things Apple changed. It took you years to get used to it.  Well,  We moved to the lighting connector…faster, smaller and not any cable you had in the drawer.  Today? Goodbye Lightning, Hello USB. Remember: “the only constant in life is change.”  Thank Buddha for the quote, and Tim Cook (maybe the EU) for the cable change.

Actually I want to put this in the main text instead of leaving it in the tags:

Even after Delphi Pharma STILL feels bad about killing his patients and all the rest.

On Luna-1 he tries to flee through Tyrest's portal but is stopped by the Aequitas-based forcefield that detects guilt/inner turmoil.

What else would Pharma feel guilt/agony/turmoil over if not all the crimes he did leading up to this point?

Pharma stuff Jro said during the livestream

Jro during the livestream:

-Pharma didn’t hate Delphi before the incident with the DJD.

-Pharma and Ambulon had a mutual, begrudging respect for each other.

-When Pharma was stationed at Delphi, he was a grump and missed Ratchet.

-The grey Autobot symbols represent grieving. Wonder what Pharma was grieving then?

-Tarnma is absolutely not canon.

-Pharma liked Ratchet, but Ratchet was too much of a dumbass to notice or realize.

-Before he cracked during the Delphi arc, Pharma still felt bad about the things he had done (Taking T-cogs, killing patients, etc).
