  • Paris' massive forehead when he's sitting at the helm. Its just so large. The art for their portraits when speaking are fine. The 3d models on everyone are really off-putting. But someone put their time into making them and thats what they went with so cool. Whatever.

    I take more issue with all of the missed opportunities. Save Tuvix, but then he's completely forgotten by the story AND you lose out on all Neelix and Tuvok specific dialog options.

    Keep B'elanna split and Klingon version is ignored while the human one keeps the hybrid model for the 3d model and portrait art. But Klingon B'elanna does show up on the bridge a whole one time.

    And the bugs. I've had the number of cycles to the next system completely vanish (kind of important in a resource management game), heroes just up and get removed when starting a new sector never to be seen again, interior locking up when trying to build a new room, freezes, and crashes.

    It needed more time to cook, I think. Then putting out a paid DLC in the first week always screams to me that content was deliberately withheld for money

    Resurgence was cool, though.

  • Wearing Focal Clear - original not MG - and they're fantastic.

  • Now I'm sad.

  • Wow. Looking great!

  • I can get behind most that.

    The Ferengi episodes of DS9 are some of my favorites mostly because Shimerman liked to get all the Ferengi actors together at his place for rehearsals all the time (What We Left Behind documentary is great ifb you haven't watched it) and their interactions were tight and they played off each other beautifully.

    Brooks is just a strange dude all around. Some of his scenes are iconic (think recording his log in In the Pale Moon Light) but his punctuated speaking style definitely isn't for everyone.

    For the rest of the DS9 cast I mostly agree. I think some of the guest stars vastly overshadowed the main cast. Think Combs, O'Reilly (yes, I liked Gowron), Hertzler, Tony Todd. But anything Combs touches is gold, IMO.

    TNG was far rougher than VOY at first, I think. There's not a lot of character development that went on with the show at all, likely due to the episodic nature of the show. Have your one or two part adventure, reset, and do it again doesn't leave a lot of room for character growth, but definitely makes it easy for someone to jump in anywhere and not feel like you need to understand 60 previous episodes to know whats happening. As for their acting, Stewart is obviously the standout. But the parasites.Yeah, could have been a great villain. Similar to Species 8472 in you'd never know who wasn't actually them anymore. It was nice seeing the parasites return in Star Trek Online, albeit briefly.

    DS9 actually was fairly hated when it came out both because it was set on a space station and because it was a serialized show and not episodic like TOS and TNG. The tone was also far, far darker. Probably why its my favorite - it's a more "realistic" take on humanity in space, the shit show wars are, and everything doesn't just work out all the time (wormhole aliens vanishing Dominion fleets aside.)

    Now let's talk about Enterprise haha. Let's not.

  • The first season or two are rough. The Kazon stuff is just... Blah, imo. After that it picks up. The character development, I think, is the best part. Mostly the Doctor, if I'm being honest. Later when Seven joins, her character arc is great, too, and while she was definitely supposed to be sex appeal, her actress, Jeri Ryan, crushes it as a character and not just a sex symbol.

    I'm guessing the whole Neelix thing is throwing you? He's definitely incredibly grating, but he'll weirdly grow on you as the show progresses.

    In my opinion, it's definitely the weakest of the three you mention, but it still has its merits. Even after we leave the Kazon stuff behind, you'll get a one off episode here or there that just falls flat.

    I'd suggest trying to power through a bit longer to see if you can pick up anything you start enjoying. And if not, there's no shame in not finishing. Not every series hits for everyone and that's okay.

  • I have no memory of this. I must have blocked it out.

  • Eternals was also Robb Stark, not Kit. It was not a good film.

  • I rather enjoyed it. I only first came across it a month or so ago when a couple of the songs popped up in my Daily Discovery Playlist on Tidal. The Wikipedia page suggests there will be some games, a cartoon, and a stage play. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic:_The_Musical

  • It definitely speaks to me.

  • Only on this side of the portal.

  • ... Did you?

    That said though, there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin. Yes, I know that Google has blocked it from its Chrome Extension store, but there is still a way to get uBlock Origin on Chrome that our how-to extraordinaire Kaycee has detailed.

  • With mint frosting.

  • Well the "straight to your front door" is a lie. You still need to send the firearm to a Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer - one of those brick and mortar stores they mentioned, then you fill out the 4473 form, the dealer takes that then calls for a National Instant Criminal System (NICS) check which you can pass, fail, or get a delay while they look deeper. If you pass, you pay your transfer fee and go on your way.

    It's been years since I've bought anything from GrabAGun but if this dipshit is on the board I'll never bother again.

  • What do your thespian eyes see, Rossolas?

  • Bottom (32") is games. Top (32") is for a browser. Top left (24") is for cameras. Bottom left (15") is touchscreen for music player. Right (same make/model as top) is portrait mode for discord, steam, and system monitor. The three 32" pull double duty as work monitors during work hours.

  • I got you, fellow daydreamer.

  • My brain is interpreting it as using that machine feels like you're using the machine gun. Normal people see you just using exercise equipment but OP imagines they're operating a mounted gun.
