- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x10 "The New Next Generation" 1 day ago:
What a perfect finale. It really shows what I most loved about Lower Decks. The crew - aside all comedy - is formed by professionals which are capable of working together and advancing beyond their single capabilities. There is no drama or trying to hide important info from each other like in PIC or DIS. This is what I always loved about TNG, DS9 and VOY and it is great to see it still works - even on modern television.
One silly, little joke got me out of nowhere (maybe I was a little bit emotional about the impending end): Ransom: Mr. Rutherford, a little birdie told me you made some pretty inspired updates to the plasma injectors. Rutherford: Was it Dr. Migleemo?
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 4 days ago:
It can’t be that easy. PEGI says that games containing gambling (real money or not) are rated with PEGI 12 to 18. So there must be something else to the game that led to this rating.

He can’t be an Admiral and an Ensign at the same time…
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 5x07: “Fully Dilated” (SPOILERS) 2 weeks ago:
Mariner asking about the purple carpet of the Enterprise D also references a somewhat vulgar saying about women.
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 3 weeks ago:
According to Steam the top 3 are:
- Oxygen not included
- Civilization 5
- Factorio
But that of course does not include the games not running from Steam and pre-Steam games. So World of Warcraft is somewhere in there too. And the final Top 1 must be Transport Tycoon Deluxe (even if you don’t include OpenTTD).
- Comment on Where to start? 4 weeks ago:
There are several guides on what episode can / should / mustn’t be skipped.
Let’s watch Star Trek has it for every classic show: www.letswatchstartrek.com/tng-episode-guide/
But there are of course other guides and as they’re subjective ratings you might want to give episodes a chance even if others didn’t like them.
- Comment on Where to start? 5 weeks ago:
My main advice is: Don’t be afraid to skip an episode if you watch it and you don’t like it. Especially the early seasons of TNG, DS9 and Voyager have some episodes which can easily be skipped. You won’t lose any context.

I can see what Jadzia liked about them…

Who said they were contacted by Starfleet? They could have known about his opportunity by any means and were just the first to take it? A normal thing for a free looting based economy…

They are hiring them to handle the disposition of unneeded tokens of currency. I don’t see how that violates the prime directive…
- Comment on Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone? 2 months ago:
Titanfall 2: You have a titan as a companion for most of the game (there are segments where you’re on your own though). And it’s a fantastic single player campaign.

- Comment on What are your opionions on fortnite? 3 months ago:
I started playing it last year because my nephew wanted someone to play (apart from his friends at school). I kept playing it on a regular basis (I had bought the base game years ago, but have not paid anything since). I enjoy the colorful graphics which run fine even on my 10+ old gaming PC. Some rounds are short and you’re dead within minutes but often I reach top ten, but even then the rounds aren’t taking that long (20 to 30 minutes), which is something I like about the game, because I barely take the time to have hour-long gaming sessions any more. Despite its looks skill makes a difference when it comes to aiming and movement (most special weapons are movement skills). I mostly play the no building mode because I can’t manage shooting and building at the same time.

Quake 3 Arena, but only if the tournament lasts no longer than 15 minutes. My heart can’t take more…
- Comment on Balatro: Friends of Jimbo – Reveal Trailer 3 months ago:
I have to disagree. I don’t think the joker does look like either Neuschwanstein or Hitler’s painting of Neuschwanstein.
Nonetheless I agree that the artworks shown in the trailer are great.
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 3 months ago:
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Of course there is always OpenTTD, which has by far exceeded the original, but I would just like to see a modern game (not necessarily in terms of graphics) with the same vibe. Transport Fever and all the other variants never quite achieved the same depth and complexity.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 4 months ago:
The last game I did 100% was Psychonauts 2. I loved the world and after playing the fantastic story it was a good reason to spend some extra hours revisiting the levels.

No. The only screenshots in my steam library are of some glitches I took screenshots of because it looked funny. And at some point I had a script running in Counterstrike that took screenshots of the game results.

- Comment on Why fed ship do not have dedicate landing team, but send bridge crew on dangerous mission ? 5 months ago:
Because the crew sees itself as researchers, scientists and diplomats. There is no reason to have a hazard team. We can assume that the encounters we see on screen are only the unusual ones…
- Comment on Was it a good thing that SNW explicitly said the Federation is socialist? 5 months ago:
Maybe it’s a combination of both the abundance of energy combined with the ability to create almost everything out of it…

Their engine clearly has problems with large enemys and yet the game mostly consists of large and ultra large enemys. What did you expect?

This is often done for consistency. Especially (although I have to admit that does not apply to TOS) when also heavy makeup or prosthetics are applied.
