After they write off Kes, the writers write Neelix much better, and he becomes sort of the uncle of Voyager.

I don’t know; I’d rather watch all of Discovery than some of the horniest Enterprise episodes…
Except Metro Center got torn down.

Please don’t form your entire opinion of TMBG based off this one very obscure, ridiculous song.
And the same goes for the kids albums. Doctor Worm, Particle Man, and Istanbul. Heck, please listen to at least one non-Flood album, maybe say Lincoln or Factory Showroom.
I press X, and they make up some BS about how your unorthodox solution changes the warp geometry in just the right way. Picard gives you some sort of rant about being more careful in the future, a neutral relationship impact. Meanwhile, Chief tactical Lieutenant Murder-Anything-That-Isn’t Human is so impressed their bio now says they want to marry you, though you know that will quickly change to shove you out an airlock unless you are a total psychopath.
I think I largely agree with your points.
I’m also really annoyed that the choice tree required a website that no longer works. Additionally, for the overall results of the graphics, I’m rather bugged the game is that hardware intensive and think they could have easily optimized to make this game more accessible to lower-end hardware. I did my entire playthrough on an AMD laptop with iGPU (on Linux through Proton), and it was mostly playable.
One of the worst parts graphically was the tractor beam at the mining facility; if I looked away from it, I could do around 24 fps, but the moment I looked at it, the game game became a slideshow.
However, it was still really fun, and I only payed $12.50 for it.
I wish I didn’t have to hate Bedrosian, but the universal hate is deserved. She suggests genocide with the frequency Worf suggests firing phasers or Shaxs suggests ejecting the warp core. I really wish they would have toned it doen a bit or written her differently.
Also, I wish we had more time with Urmott; as good an officer he was, he had less chance to impress me than Westbrook, and thus I couldn’t choose him as first officer. Part of this is just an inherent structure issue with Starfleet (as summed up in Eddington’s “you don’t get to be captain wearing a gold uniform” or the story of Harry Kim), but honestly, for being the first officer you meet (besides Ensign cannon fodder), his story underwhelms.
Though really, if I could really choose, I’d try to make the doctor my first officer, though I’m not sure she would have accepted.
I did really enjoy the starbase and Resolute environments, and I wish more games would immerse the player in a Starfleet ship that way.
Also, anyone else think the space British empire aliens all just looked like a realistic rendering of Squidward?
Honestly, ENT looks pretty good. I mean, not as good as TOS remaster, but being done natively in 720p (and even 1080 in later seasons), it doesn’t look that bad.
I remember my 1st Surface Go’s microSD card reader being pretty good.
Funny, but I personally prefer in in the original Klingon:
Surely that’s got to be in the replicator database; I mean, I think it would be a big mess up on the part of the Obsidian Order if Seska didn’t at minimum have an opinion on jumja sticks, if not eat them frequently enough to get it programmed into the replicator.
I’m tired of multiverse plots, but I might make an exception if it allows them to bring Hemmer back without too severely messing up the overall plot of the show.
I think you’re mixing up Office 365 and Office Online.
Office 365 is a subscription for Microsoft Office that includes access to both the full, more powerful desktop Office applications and the much less powerful Office Online.
Though I don’t think it’s even called Office 365 anymore, but I don’t respect MS enough to bother to Google what they’re calling it now.
What model Thinkpad was it? Just curious.
Part of me wants to plug Thinkpad E16 as the cheapest new laptop you can get away with, but if the trackpad is the same one that drives you insane. Honestly, I don’t really care about the trackpad because I exclusively use Trackpoint.
Also, I would call the speakers mediocre, but honestly, I rarely listen to audio on my laptop, so they may be total crap.
FYI, 14” is sort of the new 13.3”. A lot of newer 14” laptops are the about size of an older 13.3” laptop, but just have less bezel.
Same situation as with 16” vs 15.6”.
Most aliens have forehead ridges; some, like Tandarand, have giant cheeks. But the humans, they have… pronounced philtrums!
I was actually going through the audiobook of this trying to gather and classify enough data to fine tune a Piper TTS voice of the Star Trek computer.
Haven’t finished it yet, but maybe one day. While I normally would have ethical qualms about commanding the likenesses of the dead, they actually did try to collect voice data before Majel Barrett died; unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to actually pull it off, but the attempt feels as close to consent for this sort of thing as one can get.
I don’t know. There’s something about the description of the ENT novels that rubs me the wrong way.
I just find it really weird to make Tucker Section 31 and add a whole convoluted thing about how he originally faked his death in 2155, but changed it to 2161 for some reason.
Painfully true, unfortunately.
This is more a comic/graphic novel than a proper Trek novel, but I think Lower Decks: Warp Your Own Way is possibly the best Star Trek comic I’ve ever read.
It stays true to the source material, and unlike a lot of IDW stuff I’ve read, doesn’t completely shark jump from the source material in an attempt to be mysterious, cool, or interesting just for the heck of it.
Probably the only other piece of IDW Trek I enjoyed this much was the TNG Mirror Universe, which did really well to achieve a “keep me on the edge of my seat” feeling.
I still need to read some other Trek comics, though, especially the TNG/Doctor Who crossover, which a local library branch of mine has. I also have a ton of PDFs from the recent Humble Bundle to burn through.
No, seriously. These are the kinds of episodes that really make you want to have Rick Berman “as a guest” in the trunk of your car before “taking him for a nice swim” in the river.
