I'd think the association is more towards Macaroni art, the sort that little kids do with glue and dry pasta.

I miss a few communities, mostly the creative writing ones. R/hfy and r/fanfiction, mainly.

There were millions of planets in the Republic, and only about 10k Jedi at any one time. The vast majority of people would never have seen one. The vast majority of planets would probably go generations between having one visit. It is entirely believable that most wouldn't think that Jedi were real.

I assume they meant flat?

Actually no! Lower numbered laws have priority over higher numbers, meaning that if they come into conflict the higher number law can be broken. While the first law says they can't allow humans to come to harm, the zeroth law basically says that if it's for the good of the species, they absolutely can kill or otherwise hurt individual humans.

Because I like having options, and I don't like missing out on plot or dialogue if I don't have to. She's an interesting character that I think would have good interactions with the rest of the party.

Because I was playing a good character, which meant that if I wanted the tieflings to live then Minthara had to die. With the update, there is a canonical path for both the tieflings and Minthara to live.

There is that, but I feel the changes with Minthara count; I'd have liked to have had her as a companion, but I'd already killed her and was multiple hours into act 2 before the patch allowing her to be saved and recruited into any party was released.

I've got a copy of this! It's a difficult, but fun, read.

I don't name my machines anything special, but I've started naming my internal hard drives/samba shares after planets, and external drives after moons.

Yes actually, before the pandemic my family went on a trip to England for my dad's birthday, and part of the trip was visiting my great×3 grandfather's grave, and seeing the house that was in the family for over 150 years. We actually got to sit down and talk with the current owners, who still had the original deed with his name on it.

Sid Meier's Pirates! Specifically the remastered pc version from 2004.
