- Comment on "It's gone baby... it's all gone"| Sigh .....‘Project Hail Mary’ Author Andy Weir Says Paramount Rejected His ‘Star Trek’ Pitch: Their “Shows Are Sh**” 2 days ago:
Andy Weir writes cerebral sci-fi. Star Trek used to be cerebral sci-fi. NuTrek has decided to absolutely avoid being cerebral and focus on antics and VFX glamour.
Weir’s comment on NuTrek comes at no surprised whatsoever, and it goes to show once again how people who are actually into science fiction cannot stand NuTrek.

I dunno. I used to trek up and down the GR-10 of le Canigou just to get to the library of a village. :V

See that mountain there in the distance? Yeah, you can climb that mountain.
- Comment on "Science isn't political!" 3 days ago:
Science is only political because scientists have to continuously convince politicians reality exists.
It’s frustrating that something like climate change is even a political discussion at all. Don’t Look Up captured that frustration really well.
- Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing? 3 days ago:
Boomers would call it the “fluoride stare”, in relation to some of them believing fluoride in water made millenials stupid.
I dunno. I’d consider it just a dumb generational thing.

Don’t worry! Asteroids cannot hit the same place twice!
Or something…
- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 6 days ago:
- It’s not the Limewire days anymore. While it’s not risk free, if you hang about piracy for even a little bit you’ll quickly pick up an idea of who the trusted sources are.
- Why would you care?
- The ones making the games aren’t the ones you’re paying. Only the IP holders. If you’re concerned about paying the actual developers, then sticking with indie games is your only option. Not that that’s a problem; indies have come with far better quality and interesting ideas for quite some time now.
- Neither do I, so fair enough.

Just pirate their shit.
- Comment on Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026 (my article!) 1 week ago:
Funny. Just today I installed a CFW on a PSP Phat. Not for personal use, though; I’ve never liked what was available on the PSP, and I have a Steam Deck I can emulate on.
But my younger brother bought a second hand PSP.
- Comment on RetroDECK Is More Than Emulation: An Interview with the Devs (my article!) 1 week ago:
I’m wondering what sets this apart from EmuDeck and RetroArch.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 1 week ago:
Ah fuck, more generative AI!
“No, actually, you’re completely wrong!”
OK…? Then what is it?
“It’s generative AI.”

You get ads? I thought we were smarter than this on Lemmy.
- Comment on "Palworld is going to be the survival crafting game everyone always wanted" and "people will be shocked" at how big 1.0 is, says Pocketpair publishing lead 2 weeks ago:
Less tell more show.
There are loads of technical issues with Palworld that put me off from buying it.
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 weeks ago:
How many comparisons to DS9 and TNG need to be made before people who defend NuTrek finally get it?
I’ve tried the long ass format of showing before. In great detail. It gets the exact same reaction as what u currently write. So what’s the bloody point?
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 weeks ago:
At that point you’re splitting hairs. Like the big poster headline that said Michael Burnham was “the first ever black woman as the lead character”, witch both shits all over Nichelle Nichole’s contribution and is also true in the idea that Star Trek never had “THE main character”, as in singular.
NuTrek is wholly irredeemable.
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 weeks ago:
It only deserves to be called “NuTrek”. It’s a shame you lack the awareness or the standards to see that.
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 weeks ago:
You genuinely think NuTrek is celebrating LGBTQ+ representation? XD
You poor innocent soul. You must think the rainbow logos from major corporations in June are sincere too!
NuTrek is nothing more than low effort slop that’s using the queerness as a shield from criticism. You’re defending shallow tokenism as “high bar”.
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 weeks ago:
Missing the issue entirely.
Problem is the current writers and showrunners declaring “firsts” and patting themselves on the back for things that have already existed in Star Trek.
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 weeks ago:
I care on how it’s done, what the writers do with it. I despise the current writers of Trek and they haven’t been able to make a single interesting topic, or do anything interesting with the topics they borrowed.
I hear “gay Klingon” and all I see is another excuse to call everyone who hates NuTrek a bigot.

Well… Jacksepticeye, Pewdiepie, and Markiplier are all millenials and they’re the ones that pioneered such reactions to the most mundane shit in videogames.
Zoomers didn’t start talking like that in isolation.

I’m not so sure. I’ve read Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, and in it was an AI priest who was built to do all the believing for its population, so the population could go about their business without having to waste time believing in things.
I’d say this is somewhat the same.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 4 weeks ago:
America needs to become a proper multi-party, representative democracy. Otherwise you’ll continue to slide into nonsensical, regressive, two-sided tribalism that lacks any nuance or compromise.
So long as that doesn’t happen, America will remain the most primitive Western country.
- Comment on women 4 weeks ago:
I guess that depends on how your laws and courts function. Other countries don’t have juries like America does.
- Comment on women 4 weeks ago:
Because there exists evidence that makes these statistics unreliable.
- Comment on women 4 weeks ago:
Not to sound like a broken record, but the statistics themselves cannot be trusted. So bringing up statistics doesn’t support your argument.
- Comment on women 4 weeks ago:
… for some reason
“For some reason”
- Comment on women 4 weeks ago:
I question whether that fear is based on something real or just the idea that it would happen. That same idea that makes the law harsher against men committing crimes than women.
- Comment on women 4 weeks ago:
America needs better unions. Or just… unions.
- Comment on women 4 weeks ago:
We don’t know the actual statistics of what percentage of violent crimes and sexual assaults are committed by women. A lot of woman on man crime (domestic abuse, sexual assault) largely goes unreported when it happens, and hardly ever gets taken seriously when it does.
So long as that is still an issue, that there exists some idea that only men do these things, or mostly do these things, or even get falsely accused of doing these things while being a victim, the statistics cannot be trusted.
Feel free to downvote if it makes you feel righteous, or on “the winning side”.
