  • Archer's approach to problem-solving really took a dark turn between seasons 2 and 3

    Jump

  • Keep in mind, the Federation didn't even exist yet. Humans underwent their prosperous unification but after experiencing their first attack from an alien power (ignoring the Borg here), they went back to their aggressive ways. The "War on Terror" here was ultimately a bad thing for everyone, so Archer decided to bet on peace rather than continue it.

    The show isn't as progressive as other Star Trek shows but it has it's reasons for it. We see them trying to be better.

  • What's the most immersive video game that you've played?

    Jump

  • Yeah that's what made Outer Wilds terrifying, it's veeeery realistic with handling outer space. Elite Dangerous gave me the same feeling, took a long while to get over the fear. Still gave me the jeebies infiltrating a Titan (large xeno ship that generates hazardous space weather around itself, like a hurricane in a fog).

    The rest of the Outer Wilds just ups that nope factor. Thought I should go to a different planet but my choices were the newborn singularity, planets eating each other, or a planet that defies reality and home to very angry space bees.

    The quantum moon was the only one I could handle, was super fun.

  • As much I love those games I cannot get very far into them. Especially Outer Wilds. That ocean planet is something I've literally had in my nightmares.

  • Prey.

    They really put the immersive and sim in immersive sim. So much player agency over the world and everything you do in it just makes sense. The computers you use are physically interactable, no UI as dressing. Your menus are just you accessing your handheld smart device (inventory, logs, map).

    Every object on the map is persistent. You want to fortify your office to fend off Typhon on your return? Gather the turrets around the map and have them guard the staircase leading to your little paradise. Want to decorate it? Drop items from your inventory and drag them around. Have some trophies of your accomplishments.

    I could go on and on about other mechanics like the fantastic gloo gun or how the maps are filled with little secrets/shortcuts, but then I'd be here all day.

  • What an unsettling episode, right from the intro.

  • Do you use the popcorn button?

  • I see we share the same brain cell.

  • What media has your favorite worldbuilding?

    Jump

  • What's lovely about Elder Scrolls lore is it very much feels like you have to investigate or draw your own conclusions about things. Things can rarely be taken at face value since people and things in the world will contradict each other. At a surface level it sounds like there is no cohesion but even the bias itself can be revealing.

  • Uvas is also grapes in Italian? I thought it was a Spanish joke and cackled.

  • Borg Tribble

    Jump

  • it answered questions Trekkies actually wanted answered- like what a Klingon scientist is like.

    What are your favorite Pokémon attacks?

    Jump

  • I'm a big fan of Tri Attack even though I've never used it myself.

  • No way

    Jump

  • I watch PBS news daily and I can't believe I never made the connection.

  • Actors/Actress with the most distinct characters?

    Jump

  • I had no idea Forrest's actor was in so many roles. Great post.

  • Don't get me wrong I feel very bad for him, but it sounds like he ended up like his father. Clearly he doesn't want your help and even thinks you were a bad guy in his life. I would never do the whole "pick on your brother" thing and would do everything to protect mine but if he behaved like your's does then what can you really do?

    Also if he does go after your mom and stepdad, so what? They sound like they deserve it anyways.

    Little edit: the rest of the commenters sound even colder actually. Like damn, sure, OP's brother might not be his legal responsibility but I don't think he should completely abandon him. Clearly there is a bond and he cares for him in spite of how the brother is acting (otherwise the post wouldn't exist).

    OP, maybe send the brother a letter: offer to help him (if you still want to, otherwise wish him well or something) or to mutually cease contact. It sounds like his life has just spiraled out of control, so he may appreciate having a choice.

  • With apologies to Admiral Patrick

    Jump

  • Admiral Forrest erasure. He was a real one, always had Archer's best interest and gave his life protecting someone even if that someone had been a major dick to his organization.

  • UK's first 'teacherless' AI classroom set to open in London

    Jump

  • As stupid as it is, hoping to see the results. It does sound like a neat experiment but even if it is "successful" (my definition probably differs from their's), a good teacher is more than just a learning tool. AI would never replace the empathy and dedication.

  • What was the path like to your current career, and what parts would you recommend for or against another person following?

    Jump

  • Nice. More of them to get a taste of their own medicine. The time line is awful, I didn't know Greece had so much violence against immigrants. Second link was broken though.

  • Based as fuck. Shame about the Nazis though, those poor kids didn't deserve to have their school burnt down for existing.

  • Real examples here?

  • Oh dear, that post from the core-js guy made my blood boil. He's been taken advantage of by the whole world.
