Don’t shut it down, just charge less, you corporate mooks!

Note the “accelerated deprecation” quote. That’s strategic language. Disney will use this as a tax write off, basically benefiting from it in the end. In another article on this matter:

It’s a shame they don’t revise the property to be just a Star Wars themed hotel for the guests of the park to stay there, removing the LARPing aspect. It would still be fun for fans and kids.

I am desperately hoping that they do the smart thing and support backwards compatibility despite the fact I'm pretty sure they won't.

Nintendo won’t announce a new Switch until I finally buy my Switch this Christmas. 

There’s a demo out. So you can give it a try. Digital Foundry also has their tech review for it out

ATB is still turn-based though. You’re waiting a real-life amount of time for each character’s turn to come around instead of an in-game amount of time, but at the end of the day you’re still watching rows of characters stand at each other until you choose an attack on their turn and they act.

Normally I don’t point out minor mistakes but you have this tagged under Nintendo which might screw up some algorithms I’m not smart enough to understand

I wonder if they have a choice? They may have to contractually show up?

#metoo was all about exposing abuses and the systems that enable them to thrive. Add in the terminally online (a good portion of which are not terribly bright or well adjusted), and the “discourse” amongst the rabble became a fight over who could vent their respective id loudest. As it always fucking does.

Calling GW the “absolute worst” is kind of over the top. They’re not nearly as litigious since they changed management in 2015, not to mention the mess that was the Chapterhouse lawsuit seemed to teach them a lesson. They're still problematic in some ways but mostly their biggest issue is that they're dinosaurs who…

While I largely agree with you on this, I don’t think statements made, even under oath, while being held by a totalitarian regime are reliable or probative of anything beyond someone’s understanding of what said regime wants

She looks like Elton John dressed her for brunch.

It’s either “let her have a life with the sentient nebula” or “let her die.” Even if the sentient nebula is sketchy, it’s better than death.

Your scenario seems to miss the context of the child being dead in a matter of hours, with no prospect of saving her.  They say something to that effect in the cold-open of the episode.

I’m pretty sure a gaseous non-corporeal entity doesn’t have a specific sex. Especially if it came into existence of its own (I invite you to look up the definition of Boltzmann Brain).

The shows been on the air for 5 years, and I still don’t know 50% of the bridge crew’s names.... or even what their job function is.

The show’s obsession with making everything gravitate around one character, to the detriment of all the others is, I think, an even worse crime than the ludicrously drawn out season long…

I agree. I really do like Discovery and Michael Burnham -- but I wish she didn’t have to carry almost every single plot point solo. It’s too much for any one lead to bear!

After years of Discovery, can I just say how refreshing it is to have an ensemble Star Trek show again that allows somebody other than the series’ lead to take center stage and drive the story? And especially during one of these tropey “trapped in a fantasy world” adventures which almost always defaults to the Captain…

I think that’s why I really like this show and I’m having such a difficult time caring about Discovery. The writers can just cut loose and have fun with the characters and the weirdness of Star Trek and the Discovery team is shackled by season arcs and the need to be very very serious.
