if you’re running new games off a hard drive in 2023, todd is absolutely right and you should just spend the 50 bucks on an ssd

“recent trend” as in like when mass effect did it 16 years ago?
It looks like Skyrim in space and I don’t really get why anyone was expecting something else
these damn fools porting it to the two most popular platforms instead of the one you in particular wanted. they should fire whoever made that choice smh
and they’re probably right. they’d honestly just be stupid to charge less.
mom said it’s my turn to suppress the youth vote
Kirk and Uhura are real ones for never telling McCoy that Spock had a phase of being proud to be human until he got dumped by Nurse Chapel. He never would have let him live it down.
I think the difference is that a lot more English speakers watch anime as it’s airing in Japan now. Anime used to have to be at least somewhat interesting for someone in the west to even be aware of it, but now we get to see all the shit they’re putting out that never would have made it over here before.
Yeah. I really don’t get why people are so opposed to the idea of a musical tbh
my cat came from a hoarder and the shelter said she might not be very well socialized because there were so many cats that they wouldn’t have gotten much human attention, but she literally never stops meowing
It’s not like this situation was unmanageable before kids had cell phones. You call the school and they relay it to the kid.
the fact that even malware developers can’t write something in rust without making sure you know they wrote it in rust is hilarious to me
I love the original animated series. It’s really laid back and relaxing and they get to do weirder stories. TOS would never have Kirk learning magic so he can fight in a wizard battle to save Satan.
I liked this episode, but I thought the opening Lower Decks bit was pretty unfunny. Is the actual show different? It felt like all of the characters were trying way too hard to be quirky and the jokes didn’t really land for me.
Then I think you just want a totally different thing from star trek than me. imo Star Trek has always contradicted itself a lot, and I’m much more interested in the stories and characters, and I’m fine with the world being somewhat vaguely defined. There are so many things that don’t really make sense that people just gloss over, like Balance of Terror claiming that Romulans somehow have an empire in the 23rd century without having warp drive. Star Trek has been retconning stuff so much since it started that it’s weird to me for people to suddenly start caring about it when Discovery came out.
I would recommend skipping TOS as a show, and reading the James Blish adaptations of it and TAS.
This seems like a crazy suggestion to me. Kirk, Spock and McCoy’s onscreen chemistry is half of what makes TOS work.
It doesn’t matter if the Klingons, at the time of TMP, were intended to be a total retcon, because DS9 made lines of dialog that make that impossible
are you talking about Worf’s “we don’t talk about it with outsiders” line in Trials and Tribble-ations? Because I also think it’s ridiculous that people took that line so seriously. It’s a little meta joke in a comedic episode that solely exists to celebrate nostalgia for TOS. I don’t get how you can take it as serious confirmation that Klingon’s appearance changed in universe in that context.
it seems like the kind of thing that’s obviously an out of universe design choice. it’s like asking for a lore reason why the male Enterprise crew members stopped wearing eyeshadow after Kirk’s five year mission.
The augment virus was a really dumb idea and I’m perfectly happy for them to ignore it and never feel the need to write a plot to explain the fact that designs will change over time in a 60 year old sci fi franchise.
yeah, and the only reason hard drives have been viable for games for so long is that consoles had slow storage so cross-platform games needed to be able to work with it. pc gamers will literally complain about consoles holding games back and then complain about games running poorly on their 10 year old hard drive when consoles aren’t holding games back anymore.
