I’m not sure if centre-right is a characterisation you can make of ferengi politics in this way.

I usually associate the left/right distinction as an indicator of mainly economic policy. We know that things like unions, worker rights, etc (leftist economic ideals) have never been big on fereginar. I don’t think there’s been that big a shift even with union man Rom at the helm.

I think that attitudes towards social issues like women’s rights are completely orthogonal to economic ones. It’s easy looking at current human political tribalism to group everyone on a left/right binary, but consider that during DS9 Rom, the economic leftist, did not at all like his mother wearing clothes and being open. If anything, the economically right leaning quark was less bothered by it.

those kanji in that order are read as “kawaii”

ahem, that’s PROFESSOR Hanks, thank you very much

It’s honestly not amazing. It’s a third person shooter across multiple different levels of built up environments, offices, corridors. The enemy AI is pretty terrible, and although there are different tactics you can use to “hack” and take over enemies or melee, it’s usually just easier to shoot.

But the parkour style navigation stood out. You can do wall jumping, which I was not expecting, and there are hidden pickups you can explore and find. And the open environments are nice (the corridors can feel a bit samey after a few levels).

It feels like one of those tie-ins that, had the dev team had more time to explore, balance, and really make it into its own game, might have been really good.

I’ve downloaded some old PS2 era games. Some of the gameplay is quite dated, but I really enjoy the retro feel of the environments and graphics. Perfect photorealism isn’t always necessary to enjoy a game. I’ve been playing Burnout and Ghost in the Shell SAC.

In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don’t have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu

I misread that as prefix and, honestly, forthwhence doesn’t sound half bad.

I could not get into the baby episode. The talking babies just put me off. Might have been scarier than the actual monster.

But the devil’s cord was better. Great concept. Good mix of fun and serious and a nice follow up to the toy maker. I didn’t feel it really made the most use of the beatles though, the maestro could have been in any time period with any musician. I was pleasantly surprised by the twist at the end.

RTD likes his recurring threads, so I guess the pantheon is going to anchor this series. So far we’ve had masters (gods?) of toys and music. What next - the different parts of what makes being human? Love? Food? And how does Ruby fit into it.

So far ncuti and millie are fitting in well. A bit different, bringing their own flair, but still capturing the right feel.

100% online games in the past were perfectly playable even after developers / publishers ended support. Online only games dying is a relatively recent invention. This petition is asking for consumer protection to return to the norm where a purchaser of an online game always has the choice of being able to play it in some fashion.

A game developer could do this by releasing a server application. They could even do this at the barest minimum by releasing documentation describing how the server ought to work, to allow for reverse engineering.

The Stop Killing Games campaign as a whole isn’t asking for perpetual server access, just to ensure that games stay in some sort of playable state.

I was using it, but because it periodically did load fine I assumed I was just having network trouble. Thanks for fixing!

At this point the web is about as complex as an operating system in terms of complexity. That needs really strong specific standards in order for it to work, and in turn projects like web browsers are huge and complex.

If someone wanted to build a web browser that only followed the simpler parts of the specifications, it wouldn’t work for many websites* and people would not use that browser.

*Whether or not sites need to be so complex is another question entirely, but the reality right now is that they are

Answer wrong. The more of us humans that answer wrong, the less accurate we need to be to get past these stupid things. If google want me to do work for them, they can pay me.

Knife Rain? Wasn’t expecting an adventure time reference on star trek, but I’ll take it!

There’s a lot of references linking back to nova squadron here, but I’ve got no idea how it all fits together. Looking forward to the finale.

More ascension stuff this episode. I wonder if that’s ever going to be explored, or if it will only ever be left as a gag. It seems like the kind of thing that would be difficult to dig into in a satisfying way.

It was a froidian slip

This is a good change. I think we could be in a much better place if companies that owned both production and streaming were more open about licensing.
