And yet here you are trying your hardest

I’m one of the unnamed crew of starbase 80, for sure.

They’re Star Treks room of requirement (fuck JK btw), they are whatever size you need them to be

The inconsistent size of Jeffrie’s tubes is one of the things I love about the franchise. Sometimes crawl through them, sometimes run. Who fucking knows!

It’s the 24th century. No-one cured baldness because they’re past caring about such nonsense

The episode could’ve been called Shades of Cave(s)

Same. Great episode. I love the interplay between these two

Oh nice. Didn’t realise these were out now as I don’t have Netflix. Definitely wanna check them out. Need to rewatch Ateroid City actually, I watched it with someone clearly not interested who kept talking!

I watched Citizen Kane for the first time. It’s one I’d never got round to despite it being so lauded. I’ll be honest, it being black and white and from 1941, I had prejudged it as I’ve not been a fan of other films of that era.

Thankfully, It’s pretty bloody good! In many ways it feels a more modern film than many that came after it. Yes, some of the acting is a bit hokey, but Orson Welles is great, and the directing, cinematography, and music are all stellar. There’s so many bold and interesting choices and often a tangible sense of heightened reality about it. It’s an odd film in that it outlines the entire plot in the first 10 minutes, but still hooks you with the central question. What is Rosebud? But, more importantly, who is Charles Foster Kane?

That’s awesome. I’m at the tail end of my first playthrough, but I’m already thinking about and all druid run with Halsin, Jaheira, Tav, and a respecced origin. I think druid is flexible enough to pull it off. How are you finding system shock, then? I never played it originally but have played many of its ‘spiritual sequels’ in terms of immersive sims. I was tempted to harken back when the remake came out but never bit the bullet.

Baldur’s Gate (in act 3 now), Lies of P, and just dipped my toe into Warhammer 40k Darktide. It’s quite nice having very different games to bounce between.

I’ve got Cocoon waiting a well. I heard it’s quite short so maybe I’ll boot it up on an evening where Lies of P is kicking my arse too much lol

I’ve just dipped my toes into Darktide on xbox gamepass. I love the visceral, impactful feel to melee combat so far. I have been playing with one friend so have come afoul of the lack of communication with others that don’t chat, but so far have found it to be acceptably stable in terms of gameplay

I’m sorry but it’s an awful, ugly, science runabout… that’s its. I may be biased because I hate the design…

The ‘smart, sexy, emotionally intelligent expert’ to ‘maniacal space pirate’ heel turn was glorious!

She starts off pretty acerbic with a clear bias toward Data, but they were definitely going for a character arc with her and she started having some character growth as the season went on. She later encourages and supports Data when he’s having a mini crisis about losing at stratagema, and she takes an innoculant so she can drink the poisonous tea Worf offers her. Then they brought back Bev and we never got to see it really pay off. Then for ages Crusher is barely anything more than set dressing and a ‘will they won’t they’ relationship for Picard. I always thought Pulaski was a more interesting character than Crusher and the show would have been better for keeping her.

True. Unfortunately, holding people in the transport buffer is one of those things you have to entirely forget exists if you want to tell certain stories. The transporter in general could trivialise a lot of story beats.
