Dude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.

Rok would still be considered an adolescent, if the lore from Star Trek: New Frontier applies, from which her species was largely fleshed out.

At that age, she would be very gruff and moody, only after molting in her 30’s (I think?) would she regain her more bubbly personality.

Dairy cows and beef cows are different breeds. There’s hardly any overlap worth mentioning. For the purposes of these kinds of reports, they might as well be different species.

I dunno… I mean Flat Earthers were a bunch of trolls… now look where we are.

I remember playing this on the Wii, it felt like, going in, it was a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie with Mario Sunshine mechanics, and a threat to the existence of Kingdom Hearts.

Then I played the game, and my impressions sank.

The morality system was, IMO, poorly balanced. Trying to do good is excessively tedious, and it’s easy to accidentally do evil (Oswald’s kids, anyone?) Then you decide you’re not having fun finding all of Mecha-Goof’s parts, and decide to come back to that collectathon later, only to find that you’re locked out of that and have to pay a ransom instead.

I really hope this version is more than just a new coat of paint.

I mean, it is Larson. Being baffling is kinda his thing, unintentionally anachronistic or not.

That said, so long as Dr. Who is still a thing, folks should maintain a (distorted) understanding. Sort of like those 3D printed save icons.

I mean, that’s easy to say, because we’re not attached to the Leif Ericsson class or anyone onboard.

But would the same argument be made if instead it was Bajor, or Kronos that disappeared from existence?

I’ve never heard of this guy, but the description sounds right up my ally. I feel like I have a hard time finding humorous fiction. It either ends up being humorous non-fiction or the author is under the misconception that a protagonist being inconvenienced by an in-law counts as humor.

Is this guy’s series any good, and do you guys have any other authors I might want to look into with a preferred emphasis on humor and mystery.

I have half memories of patents for Mac Laptops with cellular modems from like… the late PowerPC early Intel era.

I wonder what’s changed to make Apple give the green light? Certainly isn’t cellular prices.

Custard’s last stand

Huh… devil you know vs the devil you don’t.

Hypothetically—say McCarthy’s butt is saved—What’s preventing the Republicans from immediately voting to dismiss him again?

I could be convinced that the search engine itself isn’t profiling me.

But if by virtue of loading the ad, the advertiser gains my IP address, MAC address, and a fingerprint based on things like my installed fonts, then that’s not really privacy in any meaningful sense.
