I do wonder when “lets spend millions to stretch a few hours of content into dozens of hours with flash and sizzle” is a genre that will die. JRPGs have always been utterly disrespectful of a players time. I’m in my 40s now, life is just way too short. My kids won’t be introduced to this kind of thing.

This article seems relatively unsubstantiated by facts.

The ability of a new kickstarter to attract backers seems completely unrelated to the text of this article, which is about the fulfillment and delivery side.

In 99% of people bitching about HOAs, the HOA is being reasonable and in the right.

My wife is up to 1.43L of wine as her daily average intake.

1/3 of the levels are creative and fun.

Didn’t they also use Papyrus in the subtitles? Is that still there?

Todays leading letter highlights, for me, the complete trainwreck that is Harris still being allowed to do this.

...yes they can...?

Because it’s fucking relevant how familiar you are with Trek, if you’re going to critique this — that’s the main armature of its success or failure.

The number of comments where people lay out their Star Trek fan credentials as some kind of qualification for having an opinion is remarkable. I kind of come away from each of them with the impression that it undermines their position, rather than supports it.

I’ve posted this very comment on other episode recaps. Generally I quite enjoyed this season and this show. But I mostly agree with this recap. I was ...more than a little “meh” on the finale. The sentimental beats landed where they needed to, and that was nice. But the Deux Ex Machina to escape death and the…

I genuinely enjoyed Gigli. They had good chemistry.

I still think its a leap too far, without extra support like a throwaway line from Soong exclaiming his surprise that it was possible, too.

It actually was less good than others. There are some substantial problems. An android doing a Vulcan mind meld IS a leap too far. And Seven and the Cube seem wasted, but its a 2 parter so that might work out ok.

I don’t think it would be much of a retcon to connect this to V’Ger, or the Crystalline Entity....but I’m not a super nerd for trek lore.

So - you can kill an android by sticking a sharp object into its eye? I’m pretty sure Data would have shrugged that off...

I really want Picard to pass away, but I could accept a second season before we do that, and I really want the final scene to be him and Q talking.

Am I the only parent who is deeply interested in genre of all stripes, and who actually defers to ratings and recommendations from places like Common Sense Media? The concept here kind of blows me away. Torture porn at 10? Very uncomfortable.

I’ve been using this Nicorette Quickmist system for a few years now and I just can’t even fathom while people keep smoking. You can have all the fun of nicotine with NONE of the downside people!
