    Star Trek: Picard

    Roddenberry would have hated it but yeah. What you see in DS9 is the ideals of the Federation clashing with reality. In TOS and often in TNG (the first two seasons primarily) you'll get some cardboard cutout stand in of a position or view and it just gets hand waved away because we solved all...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Goddamn that show is so fucking good. Dark themes, still optimistic. Redemption arcs, redemption arcs everywhere. And Dumar started out as Dukat's heavy showing up only occasionally and rarely having dialogue when he did. Hey, what if that cardboard cut tout was instead a major figure?

    Star Trek: Picard

    Yep. It's just now you've got some fresh millennial writer digging around and thinking Section 31 sounds really cool and adding it to Discovery. Maybe we should have an entire Section 31 show! DS9 stands out because of its contrast and it was still ultimately optimistic. I mean holy fuck next...

    The only reason to not do free trade with at least some random loot mechanic bolted on to get those degenerate neurons firing is because you think it's going to limit options later. Shit, maybe Mischief/Throneblade have retention numbers good enough that they can go another year without a...

    The advice is to stop doing that shit, get another job and start paying everything down. That is very reasonable. She's not going to do it. She's going to drown, vote blue and hope Joe forgives all her debt. If I was in her spot I'd just cry all the fucking time. She knows she's drowning and...

    Miragul didn't go anywhere and there's a PoP locked choice on the server select screen. I'd be really surprised if they went with a PoP start server versus trying something off the wall or copying something that already worked.

    That reminds me. I don't know if it was RF too but LJ had all the expansions unlock out of the blue one day when it was still in classic. Some people went and bought spells out of PoK and memorized them, some made Berzerkers and it all got rolled back. Sorta, not really. The people that put a...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Homeboy you crazy. Paramount had to kick him upstairs because the stories the writers and producers were trying to tell in TNG clashed with his vision of the future. That's a future where things like interpersonal conflict doesn't exist and everyone accepts death like a Hindu Swami. Also...

    Doing an anniversary reprint of Action Comics #1 never impacts the price of the original. I'm no longer convinced trashing the reserved list would mean shit aside from maybe one initial panic selloff that those people all later regret. It's not like Hasbro would print Chronicles 2 and pass out...

    Star Trek: Picard

    It's not the fault of DS9. While successful and running seven seasons that show never broke in to pop culture, never went mainstream like TNG or TOS did, never had any of its own films, etc. It's more like if you watch it now you can see how some of the ideas and themes would later get picked up...

    There are towns by me that have block after block of those houses. Built during or immediately after WW2 using a lot of brick and stone because other materials were going to the war effort and still standing today.

    If you kronolords could go ahead and blow out the krono economies of regular servers to come unload them on TLPs that would be just fine. Got in there and really boost those TLP krono prices with a massive supply increase.

    I know it might sound a little crazy but The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is really great. I read it last winter and it was just super good. Nuking it because there's like, one or two offensive illustrations is beyond stupid.

    Sleeper/Combine were cool because they put some extra thought in to the flavor. For example to get out of Kunark there were a couple different requirements one of which was completing every epic quest with progression tracked on the official website including who did each thing.
