Same here. Armored Core was the Gran Turismo of mech games. I loved calculating energy efficiencies out. I was a shoot and scoot player. Big heavy legs light arms and core. AC2 had the amazing limiter release function that would give you unlimited energy for a short while before to took your energy out for a few…

The “Call of Magic” the title theme from Elder Scroll’s III Morrowind. It’s really makes me feel like there is a world waiting to be explored. 

You realize that the single episode we’ve seen so far is exactly your second premise? The Senior staff are larger than life characters with their own ego’s and that’s exactly what endangered the ship in the first place. The junior staff ultimately save the day but the doctor is the one who takes all the credit. That…

We are of one mind. The emotional roller coast that previous shows had was wrapped up at the end of the hour, Discovery and Picard you had 10 hours and to wait a week between episodes. It was taxing on us.

TNG was on the decline in season 7. Most of the episodes didn’t pull the same ratings they had in season 5 and 6. It ended on a high note. You feeling like they could still do more is a testament to that.

Section 31 startedproduction right after Season 3 of Discovery wrapped but the Pandemic had stretched out the preproduction period. This is the show I’m most hesitant about. My only hope is that it’s secret agent James Bond set in space and the characters are repeatedly having to deal with the conflict of getting the…

Ensign Mariner’s speaking pace was so quick I thought I was watching Gilmore Girls. It hangs a lampshade on a number of things that I thought was clever. The fact that the command crew get all the glory despite everyone else’s participation was a nice touch. Overall I thought it was in the same vein as The Orville,…

As an elder millennial from PA my history follows yours. I’d say it was 1997/98 that it moved from after Labor day to just before. Today most of them star mid august. My kids school is the only one in the county that still starts after labor day. Overall they have less in service days during the year than the other…

What we’ve seen of DSC Season 3 so far it seems like a soft reboot of Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda. Which I’m fine with. To me I got more enjoyment out of Discovery on rewatch when I took the season as a whole. It’s much better for binge watching than waiting a week. Same with Picard, with serial television having to…

If you know of contemporary accounts of Jesus’ life can you please point me towards them? Because when ever I look into it it’s all accounts of Jesus having previously existed never about his life.  With the sources claiming Jesus’ existence being biased as they are usually religious in nature and benefit from a…

The big problem with all the evidence of Jesus existing is when you omit religious texts which have an obvious bias you aren’t left with much actually prove he existed other than people believe he existed historically in the past. I mean there is about the same amount of evidence that Jesus actually existed as that…

Jesus was a fiction created to keep the powers that be fearful and worried. Jesus’s “teachings” were spread by his disciples, it challenge the status quo. But without an actual Jesus existing the powers seeking to stop him couldn’t track him down. It gave him more power as he kept evading the constabulary. It made him…

Strange New Worlds is really the only Star Trek show being made that people have actually asked for. TNG itself wasn’t want the fans wanted when it first aired. People wanted the original crew, they had 4 movies under their belt by that point and wanted to see a TV adventure of the newly christened 1701-A. Overall it…

Jesus dude. I have no idea what the fuck you are trying to say. Do we need to Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra? I need a Shaka when the walls fell moment here. 

Also much of their characterization over the years was colored by Christian interpretation. I mean if was what 2 years ago that the truth about a Viking tomb came to light? Christian archeological sensibilities painted it as the tomb of a king because of the weapons and amount of items buried with them, but recent…

This right here gets to the heart of the matter. It’s not that people dislike new Trek so much as it is to dismiss their fandom for enjoying something they don’t. or to dismiss it as “Not Real Trek” as if they are the arbiters of what is and isn’t part of the franchise. It’s fine being critical of these new shows and…

It even goes back to TNG. 

That’s what the still is for, with the wild radioactive corn dominating the landscape ethanol should be in easy supply. It’s fuel for both the vehicles and the humans.  

I need a 500 million dollar investment and I will give Elon Musk nightmares. He stole the future I had planned for myself and once I have the startup money Tesla and Space X will feel what real market pressure is.

The biggest danger from tall crops are the deer that like to hide within. You have that dumbass deer thinking it can jump across the road before you get to it and you can’t see it because it’s hidden by the corn.
