    Star Trek: Picard

    Kind of a sleepy episode. Biggest take aways are something is in fact wrong with Q, Laris might not be a Romulan, and hiring a new actor is cheaper than de-aging Whoopi Goldberg

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    FFXIV: uses concepts like Great Filter/Fermi Paradox and Ancient Greek philosophy for story inspiration WoW: uses the MCU for story inspiration and recycles the “…there is a bigger evil than me!” trope

    Regarding bots, I went to do Blackfang quests and saw a lot of bots. I had to go to Atlas island (pvp) and there was a high level zerker standing at the quest handin and just murdering the nonstop stream of bots. I killed about 80 before I got bored and left lol

    Gravity lens could be used with our own sun as well - in theory, if you placed the telescope in just the right spot at the right distance, you could potentially be able to directly image an exoplanet in another star system

    Ya, software or massive airframe failure are the most likely reasons. The brief pull-up suggests the former

    Doctor Who

    Couple years back Twitch was showing all the classic Doctor Who from the 60s through 80s. Early Daleks were lol. Pushed off a boat and the thing falling apart mid fall, or people owning a Dalek with a metal pipe alone. Or getting hit by a crappy car and shattering

    There was a flurry of server xfers about a month ago - some servers got abandoned, some got overcrowded. The problem is most of that is driven by PVPers chasing the dragon and they start to lose interest fast

    They're essentially the same thing - PVP oriented people look at P2W under the lens of "if I pay money, will I be able to defeat more players because I have an advantage?".

    They're slow as fuck and have a lot of animation locks when using abilities, but they are much tankier than most DPS as a result and their attacks tend to pack a pretty big punch.

    You act like she was busting into a 5 minute long speech. She cuts the wing off, quickly tells the child they have to run (she literally just says "we have to run", 4 fucking words), and gets stabbed almost immediately. She had her back turned for like a second, if that, while trying to get...

    The biggest problem with the cash shop is the offerings aren't that great usually. The housing bundles give you very little for what they cost, the weapon skins are hit or miss, and a lot of the outfits are lame. I think the last thing I bought on the cash shop was the persistent Gallop emote...

    The Spring update is supposed to be later this month or Early April, but Fall being the next major content add seems a little too late unless those summer updates really inject some interest.

    But they've done that before, though Deep Space 9 spent like 2 episodes in 2024 that dealt with similar issues (society basically throwing all the undocumented people and insane people and homeless into "sanctuary districts" and then effectively just leaving them there in increasingly...

    With my support paladin, even if I'm not doing great DPS, I feel extremely useful. Even at lower tiers - just a timely shield can help the party from wiping on cheap boss mechanics or from dying while chain stunned

    Star Trek: Picard

    Time Travel is core to Trek. They've done it in virtually every single Trek (including TOS) and in multiple Trek movies (ST4 and First Contact). Complaining about Star Trek involving time travel is an odd complaint since they've always done it. And they have always used it for making some...

    Star Trek: Picard

    There are 2 explanations 1) the prop people understood the history and put in the sign as an Easter egg 2) the writers understood the history and the sign was intentionally there Given the track record of new Trek, I admit #1 might be more likely, but we can still hope lol

    Star Trek: Picard

    While that was no doubt the basis for that scene, I’m wondering if they will try to at least keep continuity with DS9. The Bell Riots happened in 2024 and that homeless camp had a sign saying sanctuary district, although it clearly wasn’t on the same level as the sanctuary district from DS9

    Star Trek: Picard

    The Borg Queen being impressed makes me think the Agnes as a new Borg Queen theory is going to hold. They’ve previously shown themselves to be very interested in individuals who can be more than a drone in their eyes (Data, 7 of 9 later on in Voyager) and the Queen seemed to calm down a bit...

    Ya it felt like it could have gone longer - the cliffhanger they left it on feels like a mini cliffhanger they would have led to a larger one. I do like they will be playing with the idea of what makes you you, though. The show originally seemed to treat downloads as a 1 off thing, but then...

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    I would agree fully on this point - most of the fun in seeing Avatar in the theaters in 3D is just how damned well they pulled it off. Like scenes where the humans are inside their flying machines and you could see the curvature of the bubble windows from the inside as they flew, it created...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The game downscales you to the level of dungeons/raids when you queue up through the regular duty finder, so high level players can help fill groups for lower level content. Plus they plan to make some of the older stuff runnable with a NPC group, so worst case scenario no one was queuing up...

    The trailer made it seem like she is just wearing some cosplay Captain Marvel getup, so a bootleg costume makes sense in this context

    Ms. Marvel

    The trailer style looked like some odd mashup of iCarly and Scott Pilgrim. Looks more kid demographic, which makes sense because that is how they character had been marketed recently

    The Umbrella Academy

    The father is part of the Majestic 12 in the 2nd season and some members of the cabal make some type of threat, so he removes his human skin to reveal he is basically a lizardman and he murders everyone in the room. It was towards the end of the 2nd season.

    The engravings would be a big thing considering their cost on market - why they have blue and purple locked behind T2 and T3 respectively right now is fucking dumb. I'm starting to get fed up with this game and I'm not even in T2. Phantom Palace and Hildibrant are fucking HORRIBLE with pugs...

    Yup. Limited options plus most of us were young and had less responsibilities, so it was much easier to poopsock in school or whatever back then.

    Star Trek: Picard

    After watching these first 2 episodes, I think the masked Borg Queen we meet in episode 1 will end up being Agnes. In both episodes, they highlight how out of place/socially isolated Agnes is and how she doesnt feel like she belongs. The Borg Queen in the alternate timeline even mentions this...
