I'll give Violet this, she didn't over-state the pretty much amazing coolness of Middle Earth.

I also just want to give a head's up, if you see a astromech roaming around that you don't recognize, that's mine; his name is Fiver, and he's taking this whole Assassins game thing really seriously. Let me know if he gives anyone any trouble ~~he shouldn't cause I don't think he's creative enough yet to think too terribly outside his programmin~~

Are you feeling better lover boy?

Happy birthday Bianca!

I've got a non-urgent question for you.

Originally, I was thinking about going to university next year, but the whole being just pulled from school mid-year made me think, maybe that's not the best idea. Cause who knows if this is going to be a 'hey, you were at home learning stuff and everything is cool' sort of situation, or a 'surprise you've been gone for three months and probably the portal didn't have enough courtesy to drop you from classes before its too late for a refund so have fun with extra student loans and F's on your transcripts' sort of situation. And the whole unpredictability of it makes me wonder if there are better things to do.

I'm good with mechanics stuff, and a lot of the aerospace engineering stuff I wanted to go to school for isn't out of reach just by applying myself to reading and doing probably.

So I guess, I'm feeling out options - would you potentially have a job for me, full time, when I finish up high school?

	They'll be no living with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll send him to your suite for a while. Just so you can enjoy the first hand re-telling of the event. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Holographic replay or get out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's got it covered, it'll be all very impressive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sweet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly, I'm hoping this experience is at least as good as two months non-memory wipe but... we'll see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that a maintenance thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Memory wipes? Yeah. They do them to keep things from getting too busy, but I think it's dumb, and maybe not super cool? Like, you remove all of the droid's personality then. I don't know when the last time was that Artoo had a memory wipe and he works fine. So does Threepio. It always feels deeply impersonal to memory wipe your droid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I get limited processing space but it sounds like it'd feel hinky. Like your droid would end up factory resetting every few months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anakinsolo 2018-03-05 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, some people think it's a feature, but I consider it a bug, personally. Like, yeah, it's a factory reset, so sure they may run more cleanly and or more quickly, but you lose any personalization, which in an astromech when they're your co-pilot? The personalization is nice. Artoo runs so fast with Uncle Luke. I only hope for that much ability with Fiver. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is there a happy medium? Like a defrag option or wear leveling or something similar? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, there are a couple. And also, when they power up, in theory some of that happens automatically in the system? So there's that, but you can run more serious and lengthy options periodically if you want. It's a longer process, so I think that's why people tend to do the factory reset, and that does have its advantages I guess, but even if I didn't prefer them being able to work with you, it feels like kind of a shitty thing to do. That's probably cause our droids tend to be much more part of the family.

	And they can learn stuff so it'd be a waste to wipe and restart. And, like you said, kind of creepy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anakinsolo 2018-03-08 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, exactly. I know most people just view them as machines, but I feel like it's a fine line. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itschotime 2018-03-08 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure Fiver feels the same way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anakinsolo 2018-03-08 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Artoo also, and Threepio. Pretty much any droid I've ever talked to, doesn't like wipes if they're given the option. (Reply to this) (Parent)
