I'm not disagreeing with you.

Yeah, it was Auto Modelista. I need to get the PAL version so the brakes work properly. When the 360 and PS3 came out, the Cel Shading style dropped. I think it's because the style requires a simplified look and feel and the creators wanted to show off graphical prowess of the machines.

Tech moves in lurches. Once something actually works, and tech guys get it you see it move fast. Sort of like AI in the last few years. We could get it to make crappy images for years, and then suddenly Midjourney has destroyed an entire market and Chat AI can write thesis papers.

They would need to control the amount given and received, along with any radiation from the energy. So the phone has enough energy, but emits enough radiation from the transfer to effect people and equipment around it. The wireless charging systems that are available like Ossia are actually breaking the law because the amount being sent out is considered too much radiation. I'm using radiation as a generic term here, because there are a lot of waves that can cause damage to people.

For a pinball table it's not the power being given, it's the constant amount so when a button is pressed, it reacts to the ball quickly. If that amount was transmitted via WiFi, it would fry anyone who played the game for very long. High score and loss of muscles at the same time.

Ossia has not released a single product that I know of because of these regulations. It makes me wonder what their investors are actually using them for.

It's an awesome thing, but getting the basic set up will take 2-3 years to safely be done.

It's an annoying thing, because there are things that are 5-10 years away. These predictions ruin the actual stuff that can happen.

It will only take out maybe a part of the city and anything hit by the shockwave. I'm sure Phoenix won't even notice it.

I'm still for a high powered laser to the heart.

It doesn't matter how much people reject it or do something else, its always just a few years away from us.

They demolished the statue to show how much power they had. The demolition was on a live camera. That's regime change stuff.

When evidence based court cases are based on the Spanish Inquisition, you need to rethink your history.

I agree. The trailers for the show aren't the greatest either. Warrior Nun would be an awesome schlocky 70's show.

Did you know we can trace Brer Rabbit to Anansi legends, and thus show how cultures have changed and grown? Even Neil Gaiman referenced it back in the day.

This is a culture being destroyed by white people who think they know better.

I've read in a few groups around the net how popular shows like Warrior Nun was canceled even though it had a loyal following. I really liked Captain Powers, but I understand why it was canceled.

Member when cel shading was used for all sorts of awesome ideas? The car game by Capcom comes to mind.

I have wanted a Crystal Lake story set in the 18th century where colonists are trying to build homes and have to deal with the curse of the lake. It would be awesome.

That's not what is going to happen, but I want it to be.

The author explained they just wanted to see if it actually worked first. I think cellphones with a continuous charge would be a good start. I have done research on how to build a wireless pinball table, and this would be perfect.

The book Timeline by Michael Crichton is a great introductory course on the subject.

Oh, it's still around? I thought Joker Indiana beat it to death.
