I don’t think a 4x strategy game is the best approach to the franchise. What’s more, this game used the Stellaris engine, and there’s already an excellent, total-conversion Star Trek mod for Stellaris.
I’d love to see a Trek game by a competent adventure dev like Wadget Eye. Hopefully Resurgence will be good, but I’ll not be holding my breath; most recent Trek games have been low quality cash-grabs, bulging with microtransactions.
But seriously. I’ve seen a thousand conversations where everybody bitches about some person or people.
In a number of your comments, you’ve said things like “you people are all the same.” What group of people are you talking about? Is your question directed at them (us?), or a separate group? All your statements and questions are vague and reductive, to the point that no one has any idea what you’re getting at.
I think a certain Old Man Willow would disagree—not to mention the local barrow-wights! Always hopping through the forest, singing his dumb songs, lording it over everybody!
Oh, noes! There’s only like a billion other instances you can access it from.
I haven’t read Sirens of Titan, but this did remind me of his short story, “Harrison Bergeron”, which explores some of the same themes. Worth a read, would you say? Haven’t picked up any Vonnegut in years.
While that user is not the only one I have tagged as “feckin crisso,” they seem to be the most prolific of that stripe at the moment. I was using the singular they.
They do seem to pop up like a Jesus-in-the-box in every thread where someone brings up Christianity. I ought to have blocked them by now, but it’s kind of fascinating. They’re less aggressive than your garden-variety tankie, but just as stubborn and dogmatic.
Was just listening to the Greatest Gen/Flophouse crossover ep where they talk about this movie. Hilarious stuff!
What’s funny is that I browse here at least once a day, and I’ve seen zero of these jeans memes. Not a one. Dunno wtf you’re all on about. Nor am I particularly interested. But this is the third damned meta post I’ve seen about these—apparently rampant—jeans memes.
None of the examples listed correlates with a civil service obligation. Based on your statements here, I don’t believe you have any idea what you’re talking about. I’ll not waste any more of my time indulging you.
Be that as it may, a civil service obligation does not meet any reasonable person’s definition of slavery. Equating the two is both offensive and fallacious.
Slavery requires a lack of compensation, which was nowhere implied. A mandatory civic responsibility to participate in the government—a government that everyone benefits from, and one that doesn’t fucking work if people don’t participate—does not meet any definition of slavery.
I think the US would be a lot better off with a mandatory period of service. Not exclusively military, but an option between that and some kind of civil service. I think it would do a lot to bring the country together.
It’s because Epic bought the Rocket League devs, Psyonix, in 2019. In 2020, they pulled it from Steam, to drive traffic to the Epic store. And yes, it’s also free to play now, but you still can’t get it on Steam, unless you bought it there before they pulled it. If you did, it still works fine on Steam today.
Ayy, from Fiddler on the Roof?
Not at all. Your gut biome is made up of multitudes of individual microorganisms. You are not.
I think the circumcision post was a little more heated, but this one’s right up there.
Sure. And if people let their kids roam around killing birds and shitting in people’s gardens, they’re held responsible for it. The same should hold true for outdoor cat owners.
Thank you for the correction, I remember reading about the Epic exclusivity now. I look forward to picking it up when it goes on sale! Such is my way. I knew there was a solid Star Trek Stellaris scene, but I’m just a dabbler in 4x games. My favorite Trek games are probably A Final Unity and the Interplay TOS adventures from 30 years ago.
Edited to add, Bridge Crew is moderately fun as a single player game. Would probably be a blast with a group of friends.
