    Gary of Nerdrotic said they ret-con changes to a character in the final episode. I'm hoping it's Q.

    "Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own." Yeah, I know, but they don't have to. If the Borg rolled up with an army of cubes it would be over in short order.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Last 10 minutes was straight into the feels. Wow. I thought the Borg reveal was kinda meh, however. The whole transporter being the means of assimilation is indeed clever. But that's the thing, I've never felt the Borg are "clever". They should win with pure overwhelming force and that's...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    The world, from a design standpoint, looks fantastic. But I'm not sure I can tolerate the washed out visuals. Everything has that hazy look I mentioned previously. It's really distracting.

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    The lack of a 'suspend' or 'pause' was a massive oversight. But in no way does there need to be checkpoints. Returnal works in a very similar manner to Dark Souls: you work your way through an area, finally reaching a shortcut which opens up quick access to new areas. Returnal is the same way.

    I agree, but I'm trying to understand "why". I would think, long-term wise, most energy plays should be reasonably safe. Especially as investors switch to commodities.

    Do you wish you would've bought oil when it went negative? UNG is the United States Natural Gas Fund, an ETF. I'm speaking about a long-term hold. Sure, it could certainly go lower but I'd just add more when I can. If this was a single company, I would avoid it.

    How does this work then? Outside of hubs, it seems like one of the players has to host a session.

    Correct, you'll unlock traits on weapons the more you use it. And, since traits are randomly assigned, you'll occasionally get a weapon with a combination of traits that make it totally OP.

    Guys, seriously, it's NOT that difficult. I defeated the final boss on the first attempt. And I'm a 51-year-old gamer that isn't particularly skilled.

    Well, it has very strong support at 0.

    Any thoughts on one starting to accumulate UNG? I recall someone here mentioning natural gas. This ETF has completely fallen off a cliff. And there's no way it'll remain this low forever. Unless I'm missing something about things in natural gas land?

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    The second area (actually, all areas) are only accessible after defeating a boss. Bosses are behind a giant red door show on the map. The main path through a level is never blocked by a keyed door. Anything that requires a key is purely optional. I'm guessing you missed going down a branch...

    You find keys randomly to open those doors and chests. It may not be possible to open everything. Who cares, it's random.

    Yeah, a friend showed me all this stuff he had built. And while it was impressive, it's like no one will ever see this. Why bother? Why not allow everyone to exist simultaneously in the universe? It's sure as hell big enough. I imagine there could be issues if everyone congregated to the...

    So, I finally beat this the other night. Now working on finding the last Sun Fragment in the Abyssal Scar. I must say, I freakin' loved this game. It's a damn shame there's no plans for a sequel as far as I know. Can anyone recommend anything similar? I really enjoyed the gameplay loop...

    I would think Nintendo's time is running out on handhelds. As phones become cheaper and more powerful, kids can play games on those. Hell, game streaming (like with GeForce Now) is pretty impressive, so it doesn't even require high-end hardware. Nintendo could easily become irrelevant in...

    Moriarty was a projection of Data's memory. It wasn't super weird. Although I was hoping they could have worked in the real one. Also, Geordi's daughter mentioned hanger bay 12 or some such. So, yeah, Enterprise D is there.

    I'm wondering if the market has hit somewhat of a bottom since interest rates are starting to come down. Look at the 2Y and 10Y.

    There is a setting that forces it to be deterministic, removing any randomness from the responses. I wonder if that would've made a difference?

    No, contract prices vary per strike. Right now, a SPY CALL at 385 strike price is $15.38. So, 1 contract will cost you 100 x 15.38 = $1538. FYI market starting to tank...

    I've stopped dating because I don't feel physically attracted to women who are at or near my own age. However, I also couldn't handle the personality of someone much younger.
