Now just what in the hell is that doing there?
Edit: not sure you can make out the blurry captain of the Orville here getting scolded on the Enterprise

Where now the horse and the rider?
Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Tactics with the translation-so-bad-it’s-might-be-a-masterpiece.
Actually interesting and novel ability names
Japanese: Dance with knives
1997 Localization: Wiznaibus
WotL Localization: Mincing Minuet
Dialog that pulls no punches
Japanese: My bad, but it’s between you and your god
1997 Localization: Tough luck…Don’t blame me. Blame yourself or God.
WoTL Localization: Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I.
Other gems lost in the improved localization:
All that being said, the final fantasy gang is generally spectacular with English mastery. It’s like you can tell which books they like to read when they choose obscure words like Eidolon.
Hey I’m actually growing a black sapote!
Here’s a blurry pic of the fruit forming
Technically correct is the best kind of correct right?
How about this alternative with Burnham’s many mothers instead of Picard’s many sons
I’m gonna go with capitalism made her wicked 😎
OSYRAA: Fine. If the Chain is to unite with the Federation, you need to send the message that our culture is fundamentally valid and ethical.
VANCE: And how are we supposed to do that?
OSYRAA: By acknowledging that capitalism is already happening within the Federation.
Oh is it finally time to eat?
the float will feature an homage to Vasquez Rocks, the local landmark where “Star Trek” has filmed
Yes 😎
I want to see an animated series of the future federation historians that have to read the copious amount of unhinged reports from 24th c. starfleet captains.
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
Truer now than when Henry Ford said it like a hundred years go.
The SEC exists to shelter Self Regulating Organizations from any threats of democratic governance or law enforcement. Oh ya and to keep up the legalese charade that there literally is no such thing as counterfeit stock (because the Secret Service has purview over counterfeiting for some strange reason)
Fuck the stock market 🖕
ENT 4x23 Archer vs Shran fight 👌
Gul Dukat
Maybe you drew too fast shot yourself in the foot?
Gul Dukat is arguably the most wellformed villain in ST canon. He is a delusional maniac pursuing a twisted vision of greatness. He even works alongside our heroes for a time!
Can I offer you an Armus instead?
I have 0 desire to ever rewatch a single episode
If there’s one thing I’d like to peek behind the curtain to see, it’s the streaming metrics for each trek.
My gut instinct is that almost nobody wants to rewatch it unless it is their own favorite trek. I know I don’t.
He is on a mission to reach Gazpacho IV
I dunno, haven’t played it in ages. Wizards of the Coast has developed the mierdas touch 🤮
I want more filler episodes the same way Magic The Gathering wants bad cards:
The solution to the aforementioned problem leads to the second reason “bad” cards exist. Different cards have different functions and appeal to different players.
We make some cards for the multi-player crowd. We make cards for the flavor crowd. We make cards for the silly crowd. We make the big creatures and spells for “Timmy.” We make the combo cards for “Johnny.” We take each different group of Magic players and throw some cards their way.
The problem is players tend to define “bad cards” as cards that they personally see no reason to play. But certain cards aren’t meant for them in the first place.

Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.
Buffer time! It’s the episode I feel where LD comes into its own.
TIL the episode is actually called Temporal Edict and “Buffer Time” is a lower decks board game they made based on the episode.
ENT is a great beneficiary of picard shitting the bed for 3 seasons 😎
