CGI spaceships can look gorgeous, even on a TV show budget!
Hell, I'd say Babylon 5 still looks pretty good, even if it's primitive - because how something looks hinges far more on art direction and staging than it does on raw processing power

but the solution is not to regress to being 12, nor blame immigrants or the Jews or the queers or whatever
the solution is to change our society so it's less totally fucked
In the long running tradition of 'conservatives can identify real problems, but have delusional or fake solutions' - it is actually kind of fucked how many adult miletones are straight up impossible for millennials. Like, no house, no kids, no healthcare, no stable job, no promotions, no retirement

You know, I had a pretty good time at school, all things considered...but, like...
I'm also an adult, I like being grown up!
part of this is cause reading the bible is usually a pretty good way to stop being a christian

Nibiru: Revisited features means-based task resolution - a take on task res that is primarily about players making choices about convictions vs ends, rather than centering success or failure. Rolling involves plenty of choices and multidimensional consequences :)

Cover for the game: A tornado rages across a Triassic lake while the carnian showers pommel Ischigualasto. The title card reads IT WILL RAIN FOR A MILLION YEARS. Illustration by Doug Henderson (https://douglashendersonehi.com/)
A chapter opening spread reading RAINMAKER COMETH. A colossal trunk lies next to the beach, on which an archosaur walks slowly. Illustration by Doug Henderson (https://douglashendersonehi.com/)
Back of the game: A continuation of the cover, showcasing ancient crocodile species near the lake. The back blurb reads: "A LATE TRIASSIC GAME OF WORLDS UPENDED Two hundred and thirty two million years ago, a global deluge sparked a near unprecedented life-bloom on Earth. In the nascent forests and swamps of Ischigualasto, in South America, your warm blood stirs. As you take in the burgeoning scents, as you learn itts songs, and claw away at this newfound paradise, you make your kin. You face your trials. You find your meaning. You are a thief at the grand opening of a new age. YOU ARE EORAPTOR. So go ahead. Steal the show." Illustration by Doug Henderson (https://douglashendersonehi.com/)
Next Patreon post will be about the design of IT WILL RAIN FOR A MILLION YEARS for those interested :)

The flood came due to man's evil - and, in a way, that's what we're facing right now, with climate change

I mean, it's because the real answer is "fiction's impact on people is multifaceted, complex, and linked to their material conditions and own individual personalities, histories and views"
which is boring and satisfies no one
I wasn't as specific as I should have been: hollywood cannot make a TV show that fascists will not glom onto

Orville is a sweet show made with love, so I don't care if their space combat is kinda garbage
