Oh man, this was me trying to defeat Detleff in the final boss fight of Witcher 3’s Blood & Wine DLC.

I have no idea what I’m going to do when I get to that fight in my Death March playthrough…

The gag in this screenshot is also a call-back to S1E05, where Peralta is interrogating a perp and trying to “annoy him into confessing” by playing a guitar poorly and screaming.

I’m about 98% certain that RDM directed a handful of Enterprise episodes. Looks to me like threw on his old Voyager costume one day so the two shows’ helmsmen could take a photo together.

It’s very likely to become my most recent “doesn’t need all my attention” game, as I always need one of those on deck (if you’ll pardon the expression).

Alright, I was probably going to play it anyway even with dips down to the low 20s. But if we’re not even at the full release yet and the modding scene is already squeezing more out of that bottom 1%, I’m just biting the bullet and buying the damned game.

For anyone in the same boat, Fanatical is selling the pre-release versions of the game for 17% off, packaged with a random “highly rated” Steam game. My freebie was Reventure, which is regularly $8.99 CAD.

When I first started venturing about the internet in the early 2000s, I came across a definition of spam that has yet to fail me as either a user or a moderator: stupid, pointless, or annoying messages. You haven’t qualified as any of the above — except for those that are exactly the kind of stupid and pointless that Risa exists for.

Star Trek content is what we’re all here for, and IMO there’s precious little of it on the Fediverse. If posting here is the only way you’re getting that sweet sweet serotonin right now, then I say post away my friend. You’re helping yourself and providing much needed content.

Keep it up, man. For real.

Gonna back off a bit today.

Please don’t! The Fediverse needs content, and while I guess I can’t speak on behalf of the whole community I will say that I’ve really come to appreciate yours.

~~I read an article just this morning that said it’s expected to release with version number 1.6.35 or something, meaning they been patching and updating it ahead of release. That’s likely what the delays have been about — to polish it up in advance to avoid the kind of negative press that surrounded Cyberpunk 2077 at release, which came from a studio that had a great deal more goodwill from the community than Bethesda.

Edit 2: Man I’m dumb. Didn’t check which thread this reply was for and replied with unrelated gibberish.

Sure, if Valve ever releases it.

Good. Fuck landlords. They’re ghouls, every single one of them.

Nah, I think the article and the image are both AI generated, so the “author” of the article really has no idea what the image actually looks like.

As a cishet white guy, I know that such rhetoric is not aimed at me personally but rather the centuries-old cycle of privilege and oppression that I continue to benefit from today despite my personal beliefs and ideals.

“On mobile, apologies for bad formatting.”

As if posting from a mobile device somehow prevents you from using paragraphs and punctuation? Give me a break. You either can’t be bothered, which means you’re not worth interacting with; or you had to repeat at least a high school English class or two growing up. Either way you need to stop blaming your fucking phone.

My 512GB Steam Deck, easily. I’ve used it almost every day for going on a year now, and the novelty of playing things like Witcher 3, or Mass Effect, or a fully modded Skyrim anywhere I want still hasn’t worn off.

I really like it, for a few reasons. In no particular order:

1. I wasn’t sold on this newest iteration of Kirk yet, but after this episode I’m wholly on board. We got to see some of the the swagger and the bravado that define James T. Kirk, but with a unique type of charm all his own as well.

2. I also wasn’t the biggest fan of La’an, because she just hadn’t the screen time yet to feel like a person. But in an episode all about the looming figure of her ancestry, we ended up seeing that she’s much more than just a tie-in to the most popular TOS arch/villain.

3. Seeing an episode take place in the 21st century but not in Los Angeles was pretty cool, and being a Canadian I enjoyed that they took advantage of filming in Canada by not trying to pretend Toronto was New York or something. And then even leaning into the Canada thing with the Roots store and the Canadian currency… it made me happy.

4. I really appreciated the nod to the Temporal Cold War, and how it’s likely responsible for the discrepancies between our timeline and the one Star Trek depicts — and the introduction of the Whovian-esque concept of “fixed points”, or events that Time insists on making happen no matter what effort is put into averting them.

Re: your stance of feminism and its role in the betterment of the lives of men.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that the primary problem at the core of most issues facing men today is the narrow, unrealistic, and frankly unhealthy image of masculinity that our society expects us to strive for. And I have to imagine that the (or at least a) goal of any sensible male advocacy group would be to push back against the notion that a man who doesn’t meet this single societal ideal of manliness has failed to be a man.

However, I also don’t think it can be dismissed as coincidence that so many of the words used to belittle men and boys who behave in ways they’re not “supposed” to imply femininity.

“Don’t be such a pussy.”

“That guy’s a little bitch.”

“Haha, he cried like a girl!”

Would you not agree that one of the most powerful ways to go about robbing these types of sentiments of their power over young boys is to help feminists destigmatise simply being a girl or a woman? Most issues facing men aren’t because women are being given advantages, but because men face the disadvantage of not being allowed to adopt roles or attitudes deemed beneath us — just as women are not allowed to adopt roles and attitudes deemed beyond their place.

I firmly believe that feminism, if truly successful, will allow men the freedom to be who and what they want to be because “masculine”/“feminine” will no longer equate to “good”/“bad” or “strong”/“weak”.

I think you’re a malevolent, hateful, backwards bigot who shouldn’t be welcome here… but I also genuinely appreciate the comedy in how you’ve been handling any references to your presence on m/FoxNews.

Fuck you, for sure, but also well done.
