That is a fantastically odd line of action figures!

Huh, I never noticed either! Cool little detail though.

Perhaps lower the contrast a bit? Use some gray and charcoal color? Presently it looks like what I see when I have migraine aura… and I don’t intend that to be mean or anything!

I agree with you, people end up going the perceived “easy route” because of the amount of explaining and low level protocol exposure that they receive from someone who is trying to sell them on joining an ActivityPub network. And that’s just the people who are trying to encourage them to join, then there’s the people that straight up think “normal social media” people don’t belong on the fediverse because of one biased reason or another…

I was just wondering if that still existed a few days ago. Glad to know it does. I like knowing the impossible is attainable.

I, sadly, agree with you. I’ve gotten to the point where if I am reading a thread or forum and the comments turn into nothing but criticism about things that I don’t personally feel deserve the time to read or apply energy to, I close it and never look back. I don’t mind constructive criticism, but I don’t make these things (like TNG or Andromeda) so it’s never practically constructive for me to endure the critique.

Speaking of Mass Effect: Andromeda, I was really enjoying that game when it came out and then I made the mistake of reading threads on Reddit and they were so fucking negative and hateful that it actually soured the experience for me. My own fault for letting it drag down the thing I was enjoying, but there was just so much vitriol that it got under my skin even though I didn’t really agree with the majority of it. My general rule now is to stay away from the fanbases of anything I truly enjoy and care about. Which obviously sucks. Somewhere along the line it became the norm for internet discourse to become an echo chamber of hate.

I feel similar. Way back when they announced a series based around Section 31 I had a whole different notion about what that would be. The fact that they made it at all and the cast and crew all seem so genuinely excited has me hopeful.

I’m actually really looking forward to this movie. I’m all for trying new things within the Star Trek universe!

Exactly what I was expecting! Definitely read it wrong.

Thanks for doing these, I always enjoy reading them!

I would love it if local conventions started popping up everywhere again. I haven’t been to one since 1991.

That is just awesome! I’d love to see some of the lighting effects.

I’m curious, what is the sitemap endpoint used for generally?

Oh wow, that’s really cool! I’ll definitely take it for a spin. I’ve been thinking that something like this would be great.

From what I’ve read of this, it’s basically already done. The developer is just waiting for AT Protocol federation. I’m not sure how to feel about how it works though, it’s got some quirks because of the differences in the protocols.

I do really hope we get several more seasons of Prodigy. When I first started watching it I thought for sure it would the Trek I wouldn’t like, but I was very wrong.

Already own the game and already love the game, but I just wanted to say good on you fine folks for bringing the post here!

That’s exactly what I keep thinking about, to hell with what the controlling forces say, the two options in front of those residents aren’t really options. I can’t wrap my head around what that must be like.

None of the books are really considered canon, but personally if I like a book well enough I call it canon until proven otherwise. Especially in cases like this one!

I’ve never read it and I can’t wait to experience it with the man himself narrating!

Since it came out early, does that mean there will be no new episode this coming Thursday, or will the season end earlier than it was going to?
