Cause Trek has always had plenty of duff episodes that didn't land, it's always had pretty obvious character vehicles. Is my issue just that these aren't my comfort characters and so I want to give it a hard time?

That's the thought I have to interrogate before I can say "This is bad."

The question I find myself asking though is how much of this is Star Trek moving away from me and what I want and more towards the audience of the future. Is it just nostalgia and me getting old?

The plots are fine in concept but lack teeth. I don't feel what we learn about the characters is emerging from the story as much as them as they skim across the surface of them, and everyone is shacking and breaking up like Fleetwood Mac, so why would I care about any of these romances?

I'm liking Strange New Worlds season 3 less, it seems to be getting further and further from what I felt was the draw of Season 1; a more traditional mode of Star Trek in format but with a modern sensibility.

Honestly I like Starfleet Academy so much more than I thought I would given how much I've always hated the Academy concept. But a lot of that is to do with the cast and characters, whenever they're at the forefront the show sings.

Having caught up on Starfleet Academy and finally watched most of S3 Strange New Worlds and I am trying to sift my own feelings about what are legitimate criticisms and what is me being hung up on the aesthetics and tone that is nostalgic to me.

I used to hunt zombies for a living.

Precision cannabis, I take a rip and the city block around me gets high.

Back playing Star Citizen and we killed a capital ship with a much smaller vessel because NPCs are dumb and apparently I can fly decently.

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?”

Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

Well fingers crossed, constant fatigue is pretty brutal.

Ish?

Morning friends I hope y'all are well.

I think you do have a cool power, cause you're doing a lot to help your friend, but I appreciate that's in spite of your tadpole not because of it.

Be patient with yourself cause it's hard to do it all when medical stuff is weighing you down.

this cures what ails me every time

In order to ensure the event was kept secret Zendaya didn't actually tell Tom until the wedding rehearsal.

What The Caves Are Trying To Tell Us Sam Kriss But we can’t know if the caves were themselves particularly sacred spaces. It’s possible that Paleolithic rock art was concentrated entirely in caves, but it might also be true that caves, sheltered from the outside world, are simply where these images survived. It could be that the people of the Pleistocene made their entire world into a gallery, that animals charged across every rock-face, that wherever the tremendous herds of Ice Age beasts roamed, they were surrounded on all sides by echoes and images of themselves, in a world where image and object had not yet torn themselves apart.

Before the lunar new year ends I should post my lion dancer sona design

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

You just want to grab these warmongers by the shoulders and shake them and scream "you know we're not just reducing Iran's hit points, these are fucking people!" It's not a number that goes down by 1, it's a poor schoolgirl twisted up in the rubble, not able to move, barely able to cry out terrified. She doesn't know if anyone's coming. She doesn't know if anyone's left.

She's replaying the last few moments before everything exploded and wondering what she could have done. The adrenaline and pain are fighting the fatigue and losing. What comes will look like sleep and feels like the long match through hell. And if you'd ever been grazed by the hand of death and found yourself on that road you'd never so casually wish death on another person for the son of being a stranger to you.

I'm very sorry but I am angry this morning.

My queue isn't too long (2 portraits left, one is about 50% done) so consider getting some art and helping someone in need? 🥺

⭐️ Note that I can ALSO do full color single portrait for a 25$ donation!

As a writer I have the priviledge of accepting the challenge of naming things.

To name a military operation, in which people will die, seems a solemn duty. What is worse than how ugly and stupid this name is, is the fact that there's good money they got the suggestion from AI.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

I need to change my habit so I stop checking my phone before I've had a coffee cause it's always fucking something.
