Whoa, you’re a friend of DeSoto? I heard that guy’s a real pleasure to work for.

There is (or used to be; I haven’t been by there in a while) a restaurant near me called Lettuce Souprise You! Never went there, but the puns have stuck in my head for 30 years. Well done, unknown restaurateurs!

Seriously. Fuck all this generational bullshit. Artificial divides cooked up by ad agencies. Such a waste of time and energy.

See, if Kamala Harris had posted this, she’d have garnered a much better response. On Lemmy, at any rate. This is a far more appropriate tribute to the man’s legacy.

Side note: The Sporkful is best known for its ongoing debate about whether or not a hodog is a sandwich

That’s funny. Never listened to The Sporkful, but I’d have said that this is what Judge John Hodgman is best known for, as well.

Social media was certainly a mistake. And yet, here we are.

I fucking love that show!

I think people in cars would tend to accelerate away from a brick-waving pedestrian, rather than stop. Would be an interesting study, though!

Se mann þe ǣrest wrāt “eiland,” swā hine stæfode. Þā sum dysig mann an ‘s’ onlēde swā stīlcræft, tō Lǣden sprǣce þæt word þe næfþ nān Lǣden rōt. Nū gif þū hine stæfian on ǣnige wīsan būtan “island,” þū bist wōh, forþām þæt is sēo wīs þe þæt word is gebrocen and understonden.

See, if that person that insists on using thorns in all their comments really committed like this, I think they’d get less flak, and more buy-in.

Broke my normal rule of waiting for a 50% discount (or better) and picked up KCD2. I’ve just been mainlining it. It’s a bigger, better version of the first game (which I loved, hence the early purchase), and picks up right where that one left off. No complaints, except maybe that horseshoes are a pain in the ass to forge.

I completely agree with you. I’ve left very similar comments whenever this movie’s come up in the past, and someone always shows up to say “Even King agrees the movie ending’s better!” Well, it’s bullshit.

It does seem like an odd time for a Voyager tie-in game. Reminds me of an upcoming game I saw in my Steam queue the other day that’s based on Mars Attacks!. Flipping Mars Attacks!!? What could be more relevant? Really striking while the iron’s hot with that one.

Anyhow, I hope it does well. I don’t think it’s for me, but I’m all for more Star Trek games. Resurgence is pretty great, imo.

It’s ok, the fight’s being sponsored by crystal skull vodka.

This generational bullshit is all made up by marketing assholes. None of it is legit, it’s all a distraction from the class war we should all be waging.

It is terribly crowded. And there isn’t enough shade, or places to sit. Still, at least some of the rides are really well done, have air-conditioned lines, and are of decent length. I went to Knott’s berry farm a month or two ago, and I’d say that was worse. Terrible food options with insane markups—like, at a cafeteria-style bbq place, a single beer costs $16.50. And we waited for over an hour in the sun for what felt like a 30-second ride (This site lists it at 1:02, but I’m skeptical).

Yeah, it didn’t really make any sense that they turned into Vulcans and somehow also acquired a Vulcan education.

I’ve yet to shell out for any trek merch, excepting games (ok, one time I bought a bootleg darmok and jalad shirt online, but they’d misspelled tanagra on it, which was a bummer). I did thoroughly enjoy Resurgence on PC, though. You’re basically playing through an episode of Trek, post-Dominion War.

You shift perspectives from scene to scene, alternately playing as the newly arrived XO of a science vessel, or an enlisted engineer. It’s well-written, with believable characters, and lots of weighty choices. It’s mostly talking and doing science and diplomacy, with some action and the odd stealth section. I, a random internet denizen, recommend it.

I enjoyed the episode, but I agree that the documentary framing device seemed to preclude any serious discussion of the ethical problem, like you’d get in the 1701-D’s conference (briefing?) room. Instead, we got a lot of Pike saying “Orders is orders!”

We’re not privy to Pike’s communications with Starfleet, there’s little nuance to any discussion of the issue we do see, and the Lutani get so little screen time, they’re practically 2d.

I liked the novelty of the format, and I generally enjoy the way SNW mixes things up. I do think it often leans too far into style, to the detriment of substance.

Thanks for doing the legwork on that! I’m not familiar with the manga, and I immediately thought of the song.
