- Comment on I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s 3 weeks ago:
Lower Decks is my favorite Star Trek since DS9. When it came out though, I was super against it. Didn’t think Paramount had any right to be making fun of Star Trek after Discovery season 1. You can tell Lower Decks is made by people that love Star Trek though.
This last season, they did a classic audience-the-Klingon-High-Council episode, and when I saw it, I exclaimed to my fiance, “Yes! I love Klingon bureaucracy episodes!” and then later in the episode, there was almost that exact same line
Strange New Worlds has been finding their feet too. We got a courtroom episode on Augment rights, that really felt Star Trek, and they’ve had some original stories as well that I’ve really loved, like Among the Lotus Eaters. There have been a couple episodes I haven’t been a fan of, but what Star Trek hasn’t had those?
If you’re open to it, I recommend giving both shows another chance!

- Comment on The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone) 1 month ago:
I fully agree with this. I’m sure the prices are so high to get people to use streaming services or online rentals like Amazon does. At $30/disk though, that’s enough that there isn’t a single piece of media I care enough about to preserve physically. The ones I care the most about are also television shows, so that’s even more expensive. I have nothing but gratitude for the people that are out here buying these disks, and saving them for the rest of us.
I mostly consider physical media to be merch when I buy it

I will still want all my media in my house, in a machine I own, instead of having it stored in a server somewhere.
If what they’re talking about does happen, that would just be personal preference. If you own the media, you can store it wherever you want, be it on your own machine, or on a cloud service if you desire

- Comment on ‘Lower Decks’ Series Finale “The New Next Generation” Review, Plus Mike McMahan Interview 1 month ago:
Strange New World, despite being a prequel, is a great place to start. Deep Space 9 is also really good for learning about Star Trek, and it’s probably the best written overall. You could also watch a Best of the Next Generation marathon. I’d recommend that over watching the whole thing, because TNG really shows it’s age sometimes.
The most important thing to remember is that most Star Trek shows take a little while to get off the ground. They usually find their feet around season 3 (that’s when Riker grew his beard).

You misundstand me. I’m probably one of Enterprise’s biggest fans. It’s just not what I’d recommend for someone getting into Star Trek. It’s tone is different, and the roots of the franchise aren’t easy to see if you don’t know to look for them. I wouldn’t recommend Discovery as a first show for the same reason. Strange New Worlds though is an excellent option.
I’ve actually personally been getting a friend into Star Trek through Lower Decks and DS9. Once she was hooked, telling her there was a Lower Decks crossover in SNW got her onboard there as well. Now we’re kind of watching everything simultaneously lol
- Comment on Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games? 1 month ago:
I’ve been thinking about this recently. Video Game is becoming such a broad term as technology progresses, and the number of people engaging with them is exploding. I expect, soon, we’ll see distinct interactive arts defining themselves. For now, interactive arts is what I’m going with

For the film’s director, Jeff Fowler, there was only one thing to do: win back that trust, and do it fast.
“The fans needed to know that they were being heard, and they needed to hear that from me,” Fowler said about a tweet he sent out just two days after the trailer was released: “The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes. It’s going to happen.”
Why is this so hard for other businesses to understand? Just listen to people and make what they actually want, stop trying to trick them.
