I wasn’t sure if I remembered correctly, so I looked it up. They were donating $1 USD from each purchase of the game, towards the castle. It appears to have ended April, 26, 2026. Nevertheless, a noble deed.

*begins grinding random herbs into paste, rolls fake dice to win the last bits of a hooker’s money. Buys more herbs. Repeat.

I played Starfield on launch. I Cyberpunked & glitched into walls. I GTA III’d through pavement and fell into another dimension where Morrowind was the height of gaming.
I woke up, and an angry rotund child with a bowl-cut was glaring at me.
I asked “is this 1995”?
“No” , he replied “I’m allowed to eat as much Mt. Dew as I want”.
No indeed, he began going into detail about “grinding”, and I had flashbacks to Diablo II.
So I lifted my left buttock and let out a loud toot.
The spectre left in a hurry, yelling something about “souls like”

Don’t underestimate how time consuming it is for rich folks to source lube. They’re constantly trying to find a new orifice to fill. Be it a blowhole or a fartbox, they’ll find a way to suck it dry and fill it up with their empty promises and greed.

‘Discovery’… the main contribution from that distraction was giving us Harry “Dwight” Mudd & ‘Strange New Worlds’.
As soon as we got a chance to evacuate that starship, we took it; and joined up with a better crew.
You’re definitely correct about the writing on TOS. To expand upon your point - look at the widescreen monitors and flip phone communicators, the earpiece devices and other things that they use. Those didn’t even exist yet, not really. I’m sure in some ways these things informed the development of the real-life equivalents, however ~ you can’t deny the writers did a lot of things as realistically as possible (given the setting). I can’t remember ever seeing fire in the vacuum of space in TOS. However, on ‘Discovery’ we had plenty of whacky-not-in-a-fun-way scenarios.
Lillian in space. Thanks for the chuckle.
I liked LD okay, but the bleeped cursing bothers me. Either fucking cuss or frickin’ don’t. It happens too much to not be distracting for me. The Orville felt like classic Trek, which is my understanding was on purpose. Seth was a real member of Starfleet, albeit minor.

Once they reach a certain age ~ the Gorn slow W A A A Y down. They begin wearing colorful tunics and can be easily subdued with a primitive blunderbuss.

Hemmer prequel series about a wacky crew featuring the various species of Andorians living together on an accidental starship voyage.
Think “Real World”+“Road Rules” but Trek.
It’s not animated and filmed in the traditional style of previously mentioned shows.
After the pilot episode, the entire premise is dropped. It was a prototype holoprogram. The user?
Harry T. Mudd.
It is now a show about Mudd and his wacky adventures, eventually leading up to his encounters with Pike and Kirk.

If it tells you anything about me, my favorite TOS episode has - and always shall be; “Arena”.
I love the more episodic format of Strange New Worlds. I love Pike. I love the old-school aesthetic of the sets. I love the entire cast (shout out to my homie Hemmer. RIP). I just freakin’ love the entire show. It’s exactly what new Trek should be.
However, I have to admit the new Gorn kind of bummed me out. I prefer the goofy-badass-Gorn over the scary-quick-incubatin’-Gorn.
