    Star Trek: Picard

    I mean realistically, transporters open up a whole metaphysical can of worms 1) Are you effectively killed everytime you transport, then what comes out the other end is just a copy that thinks it is you? 2) The show has shown transporter clones to be a thing (William vs Thomas Riker), which...

    Star Trek: Picard

    If there are 3 cameos, then my presumption is Janeway and Tuvok are almost guarantees as two of them. Tuvok because they will want to show that real Tuvok is ok, and Janeway because they've been naming dropping her the entire damn season. 3rd cameo I am not 100% sure on. I think O'Brian would...

    Kinda hard for him to do that, considering how season 2 ended lol

    Star Trek: Picard

    Lore wise it still makes sense: The D was partially destroyed when Picard was just a captain. Since the ship wasn't connected to the rest of the fleet, presumably it was still using the outdated information and still had Picard on file as the captain of the ship.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Yes and no. The thing that was jarring about that is they tried to frame it as some sort of privilege thing - in a post scarcity society where at least among humans, they don’t discriminate based on that anymore. It stood out a bit in Deep Space 9 as well the couple times they referenced it in...

    Dark and Darker

    I was watching some streamers. Some things I noticed 1) Bows use ammo now. Rangers start with 10 arrows. You can get the arrows back if you go over and get them off the body or w/e, but no more infinite spam of arrows 2) Bards have an ability that basically does AOE silence/ability lock and...

    I would be happy if some old Weyoun clone showed up to apologize for all the inconvenience caused by the fallen founders, then he notices Worf is there and makes a hasty exit

    Star Trek: Picard

    Borg adapt. Frontal assaults never work out for them against Star Fleet, and they always get defeated due to their hubris. So laying low and essentially laying the groundwork for mass assimilation makes sense if they took those lessons and learned from them Of course, the seeds for this were...

    Star Trek: Picard

    There’s 2 issues: borg signal and linked ships. Step #1 should be getting rid of the fleet sync. That way, you can at least have a chance of subduing the borg drones and taking back the ships. Then fixing the teleporters, although they presumably have to stop the signal before they try to...

    SWTOR

    That confused me greatly. I logged in to find all my companions missing and I couldn’t even figure out how to leave the space station, not to mention classes being completely different. I ended up uninstalling

    Final Fantasy 16

    RL clubs are shitholes. You pay for overpriced drinks while shitty music ruptures your ear drums and drunk people constantly bump into you and spill shit on you As for FC, just join one. Guild hoping is a lot more common in the game for people it seems

    Raffi has been good this season. She was my least favorite character in the first 2 seasons, but doing the 80s buddy cop thing with Zen Master Worf actually works

    Star Trek: Picard

    No. Juratti’s Borg are a different faction, because changing all Borg would have altered the timeline significantly They’re more in line with the Unimatrix Zero Borg from Voyager that peaced out to do their own thing. They are their own collective/collaboration. The Borg doing this stuff...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Boring long term might be good, but it isn’t feasible in the short. Besides the logistics of getting the equipment up there, we don’t fully understand how the ground will react to that sort of action or how hard it will be to bore. That is why most early missions are hoping to find large lava...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Realistically that would be complicated. I imagine they don’t want any Dominion forces in the Alpha quadrant as part of the treaty, Starfleet doesn’t want to air even more Section31 dirty laundry, and infiltration is already muddling the chain of command and would sabotage any attempts at an...

    Odyssey, A Blizzard Entertainment Project

    Yes, although they had more of a forced PvP sandbox Rust model originally I suspect Blizzard’s game is going to be more similar to Fallout76 in terms of PvPvE than Rust or Ark: PvP will be tightly controlled/opt in, there will be shared PvE content, and no offline base raiding Offline base...

    I get that, but I thought they wanted to see if it could upright land in the ocean vs just smashing into the water

    Odyssey, A Blizzard Entertainment Project

    Interesting to be sure. I’ll be curious how “massive” the servers are, though, in terms of simultaneous players. At a certain point you have to cap that in a resource gathering driven game, otherwise you get Rust where the island is a stripped bare wasteland a month later

    Marshlands are pretty important ecosystem wise - they act as buffers for coastal erosion, play a role in ground water supplies, and lots of animals (including ones we eat) use marshlands for spawning/breeding/getting food As for Starship, I do wonder why they aren't trying to land the Starship...

    I understand. The season has been pretty solid and I have confidence they won’t fudge the landing. Ending prediction: The big bad will end up being Keiko O’Brian when she straps those brainwashing game things that Wesley and Ashley Judd tried to thwart to everyone’s head, except this time it...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I can say right now you can ignore the first 2 seasons and jump into season 3 and not be lost if you watched TNG/DS9/VOY. There are a couple plot points from the first 2 seasons that carry over, but they still get some exposition in S3 to give a bit of context

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Reminds me of that old manga excerpt where the guy logics that people throughout history used non-photographic representations of sex or hot women to get aroused, so if a human is unable to do that with drawings, then they have a defective brain

    Technically you’re always online with randos unless you turn off that feature. You can host games that let you are your friends spawn near eachother, though. You’re still online with randos. You also have to upload your base to the servers to allow other players to find them It’s scale as...

    How is it wrong? I know this forum has the memory of goldfish at times, but the phenomenon of critics sniffing their own farts and being divorced from how general audiences receive a movie has been a thing for a very long time. Specifically, the late 90s/early 2000s is when you start to see a...

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    Best part of Bad Batch is it really does a decent job of showing the gradual change that leads to the Empire we know about - the senate still exists, clones are still being used although less and less, and Imperial presence is very slowly starting to creep outwards (which Andor also showed)

    No Man's Sky

    They have added more variety. There are more weird worlds, new animals variety, etc it is very different than launch. Usually the most desirable planet is a paradise planet with bioluminescent plant life
