    Rick: do you have any type of paperwork? Seller: here is a video as provenance, the expert clearly said this is worth something to collectors Rick: Best I can do is $100

    Star Trek: Picard

    The finale sort of acted as a Borg swan song and it makes sense they want to do that with Picard since the Borg were first introduced in TNG. Trek could dredge them up again and we could have different Borg factions develop, but story wise it makes sense to move past the galactic power level...

    Seven described the collective as sort of a euphoric drug on Voyager from what I remember. He was probably riding that high until he got snapped back to reality

    Fires of Heaven and our continued disappointment

    Your post is really 3 categories: 1) Sandbox 2) Casual 3) Hardcore Sandbox players are a better fit for "Survival MMO light" games to be honest in this day and age. They tend to have minimal directed gameplay, have relatively long leveling/skill up curves, and rely heavily upon the players...

    The Mandalorian

    It acts as a soft reset button as well. It lets Mando and Grogu go on "badguy of the week" adventures that can be bottle episodes and puts them in a better position for cameos or crossovers.

    And yet MoP was one of the best xpacs for WoW Also regarding the male bunny outfits in that screen, that was mostly western players wanting that. There were some vocal people on the JP forums that didn't want the bunny outfits being usable on males lol (originally it was female only)

    There are 2 types of Asian MMOs: 1) P2W gacha (usually the Korean/Chinese ones) 2) Traditional MMO style (smaller subset overall) The annoying thing is the P2W gacha MMOs usually have extremely solid combat or really cool mechanics/features and fantastic animation/graphics...which is poisoned...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Ya, it was basically a virus created by a Soong that altered their DNA and made them look human to explain the ToS Klingons. They mention it would eventually reverse in time, but it would take a while. They could always retcon the Discovery Klingons as an attempt to accelerate the changes, but...

    They could honestly reuse the same joke “wait, those are Klingons?” “Oh, you met THOSE Klingons” “Can you explain?” “Lol no…drink your blood wine”

    Glad they’re changing the Klingon design back to something more familiar vs the xenomorph stuff they had going in Discovery

    They didn't kill off Cara Dune, they aren't going to kill off Dinn. If anything, they might just try to widen the cast pool so they have some episodes with Dinn in it, and some they dont

    Makes sense Spacedock is super beefy - if I recall from stuff I read about it, it has some ultra powerful shield generator to help sustain it in instances of attack or war. Looks like the fleet is trying to use concentrated phaser fire to wear it down.

    Kind of meh on that since I wasn’t that keen on Discovery, but who knows, maybe it might be kinda decent

    Star Trek: Picard

    That was part of it. The other part is Stewart originally didn’t want the show to be TNG part 2: no uniforms, no enterprise, and no existing characters beyond cameos. They eventually got him to loosen up on those requirements during production of season 1 a little, and to a degree in season...

    Star Trek: Picard

    That show really did have some quality episodes, although usually the endings fell into two categories: really dark ending or hopeful ending. The dark endings are the ones that stick with you. Like that one where the aliens are coming to Earth so the Earth governments put 7 people or whatever...

    Star Trek: Picard

    There was a good episode of The Outer Limits reboot from the 90s that dealt with this. Humans are on good relations with this alien race that look like dinosaurs. The dinosaurs have a transporter of sorts. The way it works is covers your body in some material, it makes a scan of your body...

    What, the beach? No chance they let people go there when the thing lifts off. The decibels alone would be dangerous at that distance

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
