xionzui,

Religions are sort of like mind viruses. The ones that have survived have done so because they are very good at taking root and multiplying in the human mind. Sort of a natural selection of ideas. They develop the necessary features like a way to ignore contrary evidence and severe consequences for not believing

xionzui,

Hell yeah

xionzui,

I pirate music, but I also purchase most things I end up enjoying as long as it’s reasonably available

xionzui,

I had it on pc at one point. I think I read about the spell casting system and really wanted to try it. I didn’t end up playing that much though.

xionzui,

That was the first game I rented from blockbuster. I spent all night playing it with a friend. Still one of my favorites for Genesis

xionzui,

This absolutely terrible in the most hilarious ways B movie that may or may not have ever actually been released called The Astrologer. It was filmed in 1975 and apparently lost until just recently. A local theater got a copy and did a showing of it. Fortunately, it’s now preserved on the internet archive! archive.org/…/the-astrologer-1975-previously-lost…

If you read what you linked, the meaning where they overlap is in the sense of a tail or something hanging down. The cue in the sense it’s used here, as a prompt to act, was in use since the 1500s in theater. The use of queue to mean a line only began in the 1800s and probably came out of the now basically unused meaning of cue/queue to refer to a tail-like thing. Curly cue and pool cue are the only remaining uses I can think of. Queue has basically lost that meaning in favor of its new one thanks to IT applications. It does not mention cue ever taking any line-related meaning.

xionzui,

If you’re concerned about quality, re-encoding from a lossy format to another lossy format is always going to lose more quality. Even if the format you choose would have been better quality if it was encoded directly from the source, the result is almost certainly going to look worse than what you have now.
