    Star's Reach, new game by Raph Koster

    5th test(2nd I've been a part of) just finished. Lots of crashes, which they think they've figured out what was triggering it and my framerate was a bit too low for combat to be effective (my GPU is getting a little long in the tooth and the game hasn't been optimized yet). The surveying...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Given the ease at which they were able to travel to the 1960s in 'Assignment: Earth' on a pre-retrofit Constitution class and to 1980s on a non-federation starship that Scotty didn't think much of in Voyage Home, I'd say the basic mechanics were understood in the second half of the 23rd century.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    She was always somewhat moderate(despite Fox News and their more fringe cousins constantly stating otherwise). It's a case of choosing the path of less harm, just like it has been since I was old enough to vote(second Clinton term, for reference), unfortunately. Some of it is trying toappeal...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Also mail-in-ballot numbers, based on voter registration show Harris with a sizable lead in actual votes cast in most swing states, so far. Likely won't be so sizable after the votes are all counted, but it is a good sign.

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    I was capable of embarrassment in kindergarten, so yea the idea of those being teenage emotions are a bit off. They just tend to be amped up during the teenage years, all emotions tend to be until the brain gets used to the new hormonal balance.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Their shtick is getting old too. Wealth inequality has grown by orders of magnitude since they started spouting and implementing their policies(didn't help that Clinton, Obama and Biden decided to mostly 'stay the course' with said policies instead of meaningfully rolling them back in any way)...

    Star's Reach, new game by Raph Koster

    Looks like there's another test scheduled a week from now. Testing some of the scout and surveyor related skill trees and progression. Having us set up camp(scout skill) on and map out(surveying skill) a hostile forest world full of skysharks, ballhogs and deer with nothing but a starter...

    Best I could generate on short notice, lol.

    Police behaving badly

    Silly Wonko, APC are for actually oppressing the groups they don't like if things go south. It's an investment, you see. A cybertruck is useless for both illegit(like the APCs) and legit police work. Given how much the cybertruck has become a laughing stock, it doesn't even work as a PR vehicle.

    Police behaving badly

    What would a police department need with a cybertruck anyway. Don't think they'd be that effective in a car chase, given their reliability. **edit** Oh, it's a PR car, not for actual police work. So it's an even bigger waste of taxpayer money.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I hope you're right, Wonko, and it's just not my anxious nature getting the best of me. Seems to be going up as we get closer to the election. Doesn't help that where I live is the Trumpiest area in an otherwise blue state. Frankly I'll be glad when I can go back to thinking about this as...

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    It's a bit nitpicky on that. Just like anxiety and envy aren't exactly limited to teenagers and adults. Still their depiction of anxiety is VERY close to my experiences with it, to the point where I was holding back tears in the theater during the panic attack segment.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Also things are close, he doesn't have to move the needle much to change the results, unfortunately. Social media needs more regulation. The algorithms they use to decide what to promote and the data they feed into said algorithms should be public knowledge at the very last.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Yea, Kirk, while not quite a diplomatic as Picard, still preferred to broker peace than shoot first. The movie characterizations of both characters tended to erode their calmer, more thoughtful natures, unfortunately.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    So our choices are non answers or non answers with a side order.of easily fact checked lies. Think I'll go for first option. Likely cost less in the long run.

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    Anger and fear are the only tools MAGA Republicans know how to use. It's not about coming up with solutions, it's about whipping their base into a frenzy so they can stay in power. MTG, to the NORMAL person, is an idiot, but to her base she's 'just telling it like it is'..... Being fed a diet...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    He was also a rich immigrant. He had money BEFORE coming to the US(not a much as he does now, but definitely way more than I do currently). It's just as much about class as it is ethnicity. It would be important not to forget that. He wants to reshape the US(and the world) into a...

    Inside Out 2 - Now on Disney+

    Once again part of the movie that resonated with me a LOT.... I spend way too much time thinking through dark 'what if' scenarios than is healthy. Almost to a paralyzing degree.

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    So their 'religion' has an order of magnatude fewer adherents that the actual trans population of Scotland. Small bonus, I guess. At least my Scottish sisters and brothers can overwhelm them in pure numbers, lol.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    She's willing to put a Republican in her cabinet if she thinks they would be good in the spot, which is more gracious than I would have been. I don't have a problem with that, on paper, assuming said cabinet member is fit for the role. Seem to be fewer and fewer Republican politicians I can say...
