I got to that part the other day and I was curious to spare him just to see what would happen but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Did a manual save point and killed him, then reloaded the save and did it again. No regrets.

Oh yeah, gimme dat corn, mayo, potato with option of shrimp or squid on it baybeeee! 😋

“A Bird of Prey IS a starship, ptaQ!”

So are you like able to play games literally every day? If so, then I know it’s at least possible and I have something to live for.

That art style is sweet!

I mean DS9 and VOY were shot on film and edited/finished on Beta, just like TNG was. The same restoration processes could be used for them too if they were sure they’d make up for it in sales.

EDIT: Several BTS shots starting here showing the Panavision cameras used (though you can also just tell from the tonal range of the images in the show, there’s no video camera that was capturing that in the 90’s).

Leslie Knope would’ve knocked this out of the park!

In Japan, still Ontario from here too.

Carla was the prom queen!

He’s gonna get a gob full of ketracel white, I’ll tell you what!

I keep thinking that it would be hilarious if as a bit foreshadowing in one of the new episodes of Strange New Worlds while Sam and the others are in the lounge, one of the other characters comes up with a personal pan pizza from the bar and tosses it at him and says “Catch!

It really was obnoxiously enjoyable

Was it though? I could see it if you changed the audio track to a language you don’t understand, because it does have a lot going for it; the production design and costumes, set design and construction are all outstanding, sound design is still some of the best there’s ever been (especially when it came to modernizing legacy sfx), obviously the vfx and novel approaches to cinematography (yes, including the lens flares) are all great, etc etc.

But literally every last thing about the story is stream of consciousness, fever dream nonsense, which in any other franchise might be forgiven, but for Star Trek of all things to have such boneheaded threads of anti-science magical thinking, noxious xenophobia and childish cruelty is unforgivable. It’s a top to bottom garbage script, ironically produced with one of the most talented film crews in sci-fi movie history, which for my money anyway, makes it even more tragic and hard to enjoy.

Yeah it’s not terrible, I just wish you could send from them as well.

I joined lemmy just a week or two before you started this I think, so your posts have been a foundational part of my experience almost since day one. I’ll always upvote even if I don’t have time to read em all. Thanks for doing it, it’s fun and part of what gives this place character! ❤️

You hush your mouth, Event Horizon is awesome!!

I’ve been using an app called Coax (Apple only, which will disappoint some) to do this with my Plex library and it’s glorious. Beautiful retro styled schedule grid, automated channel/schedule creation, even has a weather channel with Jazz playing. I’m rediscovering stuff that’s been sitting idle on my server for years because it’s just fun to see what’s “on” and be like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s check that out for a few minutes’ and then I end up watching the whole thing.

Man, I miss the Oregon coast. ❤️

Sitting here on lemmy scrolling doom after doom and thinking, “Why am I doing this to myself?” And then this comes along and makes me giggle uncontrollably for 5 minutes and it’s clear that this is the gold I was sifting for.

In this list, I’ve only heard of Devs and Our Flag Means Death, but those two alone are so goddamn good that you have my complete trust on the rest! Definitely going to check them out.
