Are you sure about Giant Bomb? AFAIK Jess, Jason, and Bailey were all laid off by Fandom. The GB crew even spoke about being caught off-guard both times, and how bad they thought those layoff decisions were.

No one said Starship Troopers yet? This is the trailer I remember most back then. Just a lighthearted fun action movie about blasting aliens, right?

Cool. Reminds me of kkrieger from…20 years ago? Where’d that time go.
- Comment on Is deltarune available on PC? Or this just a scam? 5 months ago:
Scam. Note the low user score too, and user reviews saying how bad the app is. The official site is Deltarune.com. if it’s not listed there (which this isn’t), don’t trust it.

Star Trek DS9: Crossroads of Time on Super Nintendo.
I remember a friend telling me I couldn’t use the same phaser twice against Borg drones. I was confident they wouldn’t put a detail like like that in a game. Not two seconds later, the very next drone blocked my phaser. (Clearly one of Trek’s ongoing lessons in the arrogance of man. Ahem.)
- Comment on What game did you last finish? What did you think of it? 11 months ago:
I more meant the narrow intersection of 2 larger genres that rarely cross over, particularly these days.
Though having said that, I do feel like the only person still talking about them anymore. It’s so rare to see them brought up in casual conversations outside their dedicated Steam forums.
- Comment on What game did you last finish? What did you think of it? 11 months ago:
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. From the little-known “stealth tactics” micro-genre. It really felt like the culmination of what the studio learned from their previous few games. It took some familiar abilities from all the way back to the original Desperados 20 years ago, then added several brand new ones that almost feel OP and make each character unique. Plus if you have a checklist-oriented brain, there are so many optional objectives encouraging you to replay missions in different ways.
I understand some fans weren’t huge on the reuse of levels, but the missions either use different parts of them or have you approach familiar guard setups from completely different directions, keeping them feeling fresh (at least to me).
It’s a real shame developer Mimimi is closing down, though I’m glad they get to wind down gradually and on their own terms. I’m so used to companies trying a new project, running out of money, and closing suddenly.

The intel was “someone’s targeting ex-Starfleet officers”. The dialogue then suggests Starfleet command put together the list of former officers. They didn’t necessarily pull those names from the intel.

- Comment on What's that music called that was used in 90s documentaries about the birth of the earth? 1 year ago:
Spacewave? It tends to be more slow paced and synth-heavy. For example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RlxClUifEw&t=1800 (at the 30 minute mark, though the very first song works too)

I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one who got that mixed up. I had to rewatch the bridge scene to understand they were tracking the ship.
Also, I just now looked ahead. Is the next title really a Garth Marenghi reference? Because that’s amazing.

- Comment on Study: Streamers Now Wasting Record Amounts of Time Finding Something to Watch 1 year ago:
Study: Streamers Now Wasting Record Amounts of Time Finding Something to Watch
Content discovery challenges are forcing the average consumer to spend 10.5 minutes finding something to watch each time they access their streaming services according to Nielsen
Combining those, it sounds to me like their usage of “streamers” is referring to the viewers. If they meant the services, it’d read more like “Streamers now wasting record amounts of people’s time”.
- Comment on Starfield Launch Details, PC Specs & More 1 year ago:
Bethesda put out a long video around Summer Game Fest that spent 45 minutes showing most of the gameplay systems in the game. It was honestly a bit overwhelming.
Reviewers are quiet because the NDA is still active. It should end sometime today (Aug 31).

Even with the low framerate it’s still highly inefficient and comes to 23MB. This is why you don’t use gif for video.

The Klingon breakdown in the final song about had me laughing so hard I was almost in tears. I appreciate using the songs to move various character storylines forward. It feels like everyone ended the episode in a much better place, outside of Spock. …and maybe M’benga…he didn’t seem thrilled with the singing.

About the bed: There seems to be an ongoing sub-plot about random systems on the ship glitching out. I’ve seen speculation they’re quietly setting up some kind of AI takeover issue later on. Note the odd shot the episode ends on, with the bed’s info screen flickering again.
