    We got more games and better games when there was less money being made in the industry.

    Jump

  • Yeah this. I hardly touch AAA titles anymore besides some Nintendo and Rockstar. But I've put in hundreds of hours in indie games, AA simulators, and some big studios' smaller projects like Square Enix's HD2D titles.

  • Why Russia’s Best Cold War Tank T-80 Is Disappearing

    Jump

  • That T-90 MBT that got taken out by a Bradley just running circles around it and hammering it 100 times was hilarious.

  • TrumpsteinHub

  • I'd be shocked if the NSA doesn't have copies even without the rest of the government knowing.

  • Worst day of my life

    Jump

  • Yeah that was my first thought too. Was like, if sex is combat... wait how are there any STRAIGHT Klingon men actually??? Nothing more honorable than defeating a stronger foe in combat.

    Also with how ingrained group dynamics are in Klingon society, I'd be surprised if poly group relationships weren't commonplace.

    Ultimately I like to think its never been brought up before because the Klingons are an enlightened, advanced civilization and the idea of two dudes banging doesn't even occur to them as dishonorable or wrong.

  • Confirmed: Comic Book From ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Ep. 6 Was NOT Created With AI

    Jump

  • Not really a surprise, people dunk on Kurtzman a lot, but even he's not stupid enough to allow AI like that to air.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • Yeah I agree, there's still some lingering odd choices from Discovery, but for the most part the ship has been set back to the right course with SNW and Academy.

  • Flawless, as always from the Captain.

  • Unironically I think Tawny Newsome would make a fantastic showrunner. Frakes has taken her on as a sort of protege and she killed it with the witing of the SAM episode.

  • I started viewing Academy through the lens of a YA show more than a flagship Trek series and that really helped me form a different opinion of it being quite fun. I like that it doesn't take itself seriously like SNW has mastered and I think Ake and her XO are the best parts of the show for sure. The stressed tf out military Chancellor is pretty hilarious too.

    My only real concerns, with most of Kurtzman shows, is the inconsistent writing. Some episodes are fantastic, and you can tell there's talent in the writing room like SAM's episode, but I feel like too often a lot of the plots just rely too heavily on who screams the most at each other and odd tangents.

    I also just can't really get behind the fact that the Federation would abandon any of its planets, much less a founding member. That being said, having the capital be on Betazed is totally a Federation move I love it. Bringing back the MACOs really feels forced and an illogical choice for the Federation to do as well. I think it could've worked just as easily if they had the rivalry between a more amped up Security and Science/Medical imo.

    Despite all that, I'm still very happy to keep watching and enjoying the show. Ultimately I'm kinda glad it takes place in the 32nd century as its kinda a soft version of the alternate Kelvin timeline. I'd really love to see some new post-Dominion War shows imo.

  • This is my greatest achievement in retro gaming

    Jump

  • I drunkenly ordered the Switch 2 Virtual Boy and forgot about it, but I gotta say Nintendo really did a good job. The lens are real and the emulator quality was shockingly good. Had very low expectations but it really does feel like a modern VB.

  • And then just going about your day

  • So proud to see the EU flag flying high next to the Italian and Greek flags! Can't wait for France to host it next, you know they're gonna dial it up to 11.

  • Trump Posts Video Depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as Apes

    Jump

  • Yep straight out of the P2025 playbook. It's a shame we know that and yet every newsroom will still play into it.

  • ‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex Pretti

    Jump

  • Naw you're right, but I only meant that the most critical parts of our military we would need on our side are USN/USAF. While you are correct the US Army would be the most ideal force to hold land, this task could also be completed by NG or insurgency BLUFOR. But yeah obviously the Army would be more successful and have more ass like AH-64s, MBTs, and IFVs and professional soldiers trained in occupation.

    But you cannot secure additional land and project force without sea and air superiority. I'd also add USAF's Cyber Command authority as well (I'm not sure if USSF has fully adopted this role yet). I'm also not sure which branch is doing the most work in drone tech, but I'd imagine it would have to be either USAF or USN as we've seen in Ukraine, this will also be a major factor in modern, mechanized warfare.

    And yeah you're also correct, ultimately none of this matters if our Strategic Forces are in the wrong hands. Nuclear remains the "nuclear" option.

  • That would undoubtedly be part of said coup. Giving them the opportunity to swear the oath to the Constitution does that. Note that the key provision in the line of succession is a heartbeat.

    The French didn't invent the guillotine for show.

  • ‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex Pretti

    Jump

  • Military coup. The only way a civil war is successful is if the military are on the side of the people. The most important of which would be the USN and USAF Strategic Forces. A prolonged ground war is only won by sea, air, and nuclear forces. More specifically nuclear forces in the hands of said military who will NOT use them on our own land.

    It will present a serious challenge with all the Pentagon purges. But the majority of Flag and Line officers are from West Point, Annapolis, and Maxwell. It's unlikely most side with Trump (for now). The real trick will hinge on the NCOs, as the US Military is predominantly a middle-out force, and senior NCOs hold the bulk of our service members' respect. What they decide to do in the majority will dictate the outcome of a civil war. One NG commander already stated publicly he will order his soldiers to protect protesters from ICE agents. There is a small chance.

    Ideally the next time President Trump boards Marine 1 he's taken into custody at a military base with a large Delta, Rangers, or NG presence to subdue USSS agents. With a Federal Judge, Vance, Speaker Johnson, and Grassley in tow. Invoke 25 or Martial Law, and go down the line of succession until someone takes the oath. This is highly unlikely though. A full impeachment is more likely, but a lot of people will need to for die before it will happen.

    It's either that or The Man in The High Castle. The American Fourth Reich.
