I want to play LoP so I’ll pick it up on sale eventually.

That being said I want to highlight the second screenshot, the one that talks about Elden Ring subterranean shunning grounds.

I made almost the same comment here myself soon after I found this community and it feels very gratifying to see it echoed above.

Start going down a random well in Leyndell, follow down into Subterranean Shunning Grounds, past the hidden wall in the Cathedral of the Forsaken, past the hidden wall in the Frenzied Flame Proscription, down into Deeproot Depths and the Nameless Eternal City, ride the stone coffin to Ansel River Main and finally get a glimpse the Lake of Rot which restarts the cycle 👌

A self-anointed gatekeeper rallying for a purity test circlejerk, how unexpected!

Just attribute the minor differences to the temporal cold war 👌

Those are the same actors reprising their same roles? Wow, I had no idea.

My tinfoil: she survives, but is mangled/killed soon after so he has a love interest in place when the Talosians take him from the beep beep chair into his own nexus/matrix.

I guess the Netflix MSTK was an atari situation : just rehypothecate an old brand we happen to own. I'm not sure exactly what happened there but the result is I rarely see praise for it.

That being said, I really liked it. Barbershop quartet in season 2 is a particularly great highpoint of the series.

Unpopular opinion: Maybe the narrative metaphor of the space station is the dash od salt that enhances the flavor of the voiceovers and that's why I didn't get into rifftrax 🤷‍♀️

Ya in his quarters he decries the Klingon bastards that killed his son. But at the dinner with Gorkon he drinks and toasts with klingons. He leaves it in his quarters, which of course backfires.

Woah isn't that exactly what he himself tries to do in Undiscovered Country?

Kampfradler. I read War-Roader -> Roadwarrior but Google translate says Combat Cyclists... So... Battlerider? Sweet👌

Is it that battleriders are taking the streets away from drivers? and that since only drivers carry the taxburden then battleriders don't deserve their own rideways?

They are a boomer because their "cure" (give them no roads!) just feeds the "disease" (they took muh roads!)?

This looked way way easier to decode when I first scrolled past it 😂

Maybe you're right.

I had a response written but at one moment I wondered "is this what the writers of Picard told themselves too?"

Maybe TrekCorp isn't at a place right now where they can tell a good standalone story without a clown car procession of cameos and references.

 

One of my absolute favorites and I'm hoping folks want to talk about it.

Hands down my most reread book. Me, an atheist, never imagined a twisty/puzzly novel about the life and times of future space jesus would speak to me so deeply.

The prose is multidimensional and layered with meanings that only come into focus once you know where it's going.

Some of my favorite examples:

  • The title of chapter 1
  • Severian first finding his dog.
  • Thecla's story of a fortune teller predicting she would sit on a throne.
  • The ending of book 1
  • The ending of book 2

Any other trek fans delighted by Group of Seventeen in book four, realizing it was 10 years ahead of the TNG episode "Darmok"?

 

Been here 5 days and I hate it already, I understand this vacancy now.

 

My personal journey of crawl > walk > run > slap

 

Yall got any of that hitbox porn?

 

I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.

 

They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my ~~pain~~ privacy taken away. I need my ~~pain~~ privacy!

 

House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

 

Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

 

These episodes live rent-free in my head.

 

They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.
