Heh. After two episodes of Discovery that were actually watchable (maybe even good) they of course had to... make a time loop episode. Worse, one with incredibly lame attempts at romantic comedy and humor.
There have been really fun time loop episodes (SG-1, Dark Matter) and interesting ones (TNG) but this one is so tone deaf it hurts, and to rub some salt into it the showrunners felt that Michael needed to narrate her actions so that the audience really gets what this is about. Just in case one managed to miss the enforced awkwardness of the character ever since she got assigned to Discovery.
Useless science fiction technostupid of the week: Weaponized dark matter. It's like they're not even trying to come up with semi-plausible concepts any more. Sure old Trek was soft sci-fi as well but they had people with more than a single brain cell check the scripts for such obvious faults. Well, most of the time, anyway. Didn't stop Picard from finding a planet with a surface temperature of -500° C but that entire episode (The Royale, for anyone interested) was so bad that it would be considered the worst Trek episode ever if it weren't for Voyager's Threshold.
Meh.
Man that was a pain to watch, I think the failure here was directing - the actors seemed really confused with their roes and the pacing and plot structure was just a complete mess. On par with The Royale indeed.

I just don't like when she is all in her "WHAT IS WRONG WITH MA BOI??"-mode. Hope they won't continue this in the next season.
I've only seen 2 episodes so far, but if she was even marginally more cool about it, I'd be worried about her mental health. What parent wouldn't be a mess after that ordeal? She's remarkably sane as is.

Very good first episode of Stranger Things 2 imo, seems like a natural continuation

A robot received citizenship in Saudia Arabia, a first in human history.

Giving Stellaris a rest for a while. I bought GalCiv III from steam this morning. The Gold Bundle is 66% off. I haven't played this since the first one. Let's see how far this has come.
They say it's pretty crap without the Crusader DLC though - so I hope you got that as well.

But what if you are bored in prison? Not even then? I mean if you're catcalling a woman and then go to prison for 10 years because of sexual harassment, you won't talk to your cell inmates for 10 years? That's hard to achieve. :>
As the joke goes - you can say what you'd want a guy to say to you - as in, normal human interaction is cool, flirty without being a creep is too - but aggressive sexual advances are not.

I am waiting on those Star Trek Holorooms.
I'd go full Barclay.

We'll be growing it in labs eventually, at which point large scale animal farming will be over anyway. It's a waste of resources when you can just grow a kobe beef without having to spend feed on the brains, organs and all that other 'support' stuff.

In its current form it's too limited and offers little compared to a standard gaming experience. Just like motion sensoring.. I don't think VR will really take off before we have comfortable VR glasses which does not create dizziness for 1/3 of it's source costumers - or before we have living room holographic technology.

I wonder how (awesome) the game would be with a mod that made all zombies into Virals? I'm thinking 28 Days Later: The Game.
I played the game with 3 friends and it gets a little arcadey like that- but even then, I would have a heart attack from stress, if all zombies were virals.. jeez, I get a sweat just thinking about it hah

Huh, the panda was removed from the endangered list in 2016. Anyway, I would try panda meat, or any other bear.
Panda is probably tasty enough, but I've found most predators (what few I've tried) taste really bitter and the meat was a little less than tender.

It was just too easy to win a battle.
True, but CA games are like Bethesda, dissapointing without mods.

Playing Empire Total War, realized I bought it a while ago.
Ended up being my favorite TW game, purely because of those Ship of the line battles.. Mmm

I can imagine.. They are luckily a lot more centralized here, so we don't have to subscribe to 8 different services.

Ironically The Orville is a lot close to original Trek, albeit with more infantile humor.
Discovery is pretty much a classic case of style over substance, it's extremely visually impressive, but they don't really know how to write engaging drama without explosions and shallow-evil motivation.
In short, more Fantasy than Sci-Fi and if you can forgive that, it's a decent enough show. But if you're looking for the old light-hearted sci-fi fun with a dash of moral/ethical dilemma, see Orville instead.

Rick and Morty is kind of a strange show, it's infantile and crude and at the same time some of the funniest social critiscism I've seen. Kinda like The Simpsons when it found its stride 20 years ago.

It can be quite unbalanced, but then that's the charm of the game as well - I've had some rotten luck in the last 2 games, after the 1.8.2 update - the AI seems more aggressive now.
The key to survival in Stellaris is location, location. and location. If the first civilization you meet is more advanced AND is an as---le you're done.
Plus, don't develop every type of weapon. Pick two that are different damage types and max those two out. I have been wasting time researching everything. That means when it matters I'm not really good at anything.
True, but the tactis kinda changes with each patch, buff and nerf. You couldn't build tall before, that seems to be an option now at least.

Don't, this is a figurative cancer of the gaming industry, that really needs to die. It adds nothing, except a way to pull even more money for less content.

Too bad, I really enjoyed the first title, but I won't support any game with buyable loot boxes - gambling addiction via mobile phones and these kinda rng boxes, is a growing problem for kids. And targetting them in this fashion, is one of the most immoral business practices imo.

well, I gave Warhammer 2 a shot. After the godawful Rome 2, my expectation were pretty low. Visually, I'm pretty disappointed. On anything but the highest settings, it looks like ass. Gameplay seems to be more interesting and varied than the typical Total War experience, so I'll keep playing, but the dialog is soooo poorly written, I dunno how long it'll keep my interest. At least the UI is a bit more workable than Rome 2's.
On the one hand, it kind of sucks that the title of Best Total War Game currently held by Shogun 2 is still safe from challenge. But on the other... I guess it means I don't need to upgrade my bottlenecking GPU any time soon.
Have you tried the mod for Rome 2, Divide et Impera? Completly remakes the game and with that it is imo, on par with Shogun 2

Orville > Nu ST
I think this is the point where mainstream tvshows swings away from perpetual grim dark and back towards lighthearted.
They've peaked with Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Westworld and Stranger Things. I think that style is saturated now.. And part of the reason ST Discovery is struggling with it's thematics
What are you playing now
