It’s common for terrible acts to go unpunished. There are lots of movies and shows where the bad guy wins. Many where you can’t even tell who the bad guy is. But they’re still good stories.
That’s kind of my point though, the show failed to make any statement about it, including this one. In fact, what you say here would have been an exceptional statement to make, especially considering the post-9/11 backdrop of this season’s arc. Instead they were just like, “ANYWAY, time for some timetravel shenanigans” or whatever the next season was doing, I don’t recall. That absence of comment is the failure the show makes is what I’m really saying.

I think the character decisions were motivated, intentionally difficult to wrestle with and especially relevant for the time it was made. I think what makes the show unforgivable for it however, is the complete lack of consequences for those transgressions.

Dude when this was included in PS Plus I got fucking consumed by this game! It’s beautiful and brutal and relaxing all at the same time. I would play a Hawaiian playlist on the Spotify all while playing and it was supremely chill… until I died from shark or diarrhea. Like I say, an interesting cocktail of stress and relaxation. Happy to see it getting some love.

Seriously! I’m absolutely baffled by the comments here talking about how analog clocks are somehow this bizarre anarchism from the distant past that is just sooooooo difficult to understand. Wtf has been going on over there??

This post is pure unfiltered 100% awesome! I find I’m frequently having anxiety attacks these days because of… <gestures at everything>, but reading this massive in-depth writeup, just letting me soak in a hobby I love but don’t have much time for as I’d like, has relaxed me more than anything has in months. Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in the future!

Same! Even though I’m not excited about this timeframe in the Trek universe, I just became exponentially more excited knowing she’s involved.

I remember having this conversation with my mom when I was young and saying something like, “Well that’s great then, this is an easy win. Scientists should be able to examine them and confirm the change and then we know what the Bible is telling us is true,” and she replied that that’s not how faith works. And I was dumbfounded and like, “But… it would be so easy…”
And that lesson of how willfully choosing ignorance is somehow something to be valued was a key turning point in my waking up to the bullshit of religion. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Damn I just randomly selected a Voyager ep last night and it was the one where he was a Hirofen hunting a stranded Species 8472. Then I see this today. 😢
Even in full makeup and under a mask the man was a goddamn imposing presence. You will be missed, sir! 🫡

Kinda interesting to see a VFX youtube channel get this real about the industry (no doubt on the back of “No CGI is really just invisible CGI”, see [post here on that series](https://lemmy.ml/post/13485455)).
I don’t know about that, Corridor Crew has been keeping it real on the realities of the VFX business for years now.

Nooooo, was just watching Future Imperfect with a friend the other day and when she showed up I was like, “Yaaaay, Nurse Ogawa!” and then found out while cehcking Memory Alpha afterwards that that ep was actually her first appearance. For a character with so little screentime, I always really liked her and wish we’d seen more of her. RIP Patti, we’ll raise a glass in Ten Forward to ye!

Fantastic! Surely Paramount will realize the gold they have and back their content creators with resources to produce more, right? 😭

Weren’t there a bunch of mods for the original releases that upgraded textures, added Maria and factions and all that? Why would anyone buy these rereleases instead?

It’s tone deaf as fuck. From the article: “If you can’t hire an artist to do advertising, I highly doubt you’ll do it with independent developers.”

As someone who lives in Japan, that is true as long as you stay inside the tourist bubble. Once you start venturing into places not meant for visitors, the difficulty goes from 0 to 100 real quick. That said, sometimes those experiences of struggling communication can be among the best you’ll have here.
