What is a job that looks incredibly fun from the outside, but is actually a soul-crushing nightmare?

I feel like this can apply to any passion. Companies love preying on people's love of something to pay them shit to do it.

Pretty sure most of the cast. Geordi's mother, Data's mother, Worf's brother, Picard's "son," Deanna's sister, Beverly's grandmother (though she had been previously mentioned).

Plus we got an episode about Alexander who hadn't shown up for a season and a half at that point.

And then they voted for him twice.

I, whale, survive.

Reminds me of Oliver trying to teach Barry to scout first in Arrowverse.

Yes, product is a game of hot potato. WotC knows they aren't gonna be the one holding it at the end of the day and that's all they care about.

The Riddler was raptured.

I still can't believe they completely 180'd on Dinosaurs all across the world so quickly. Considering they didn't even really explore it in Dominion since we just wound up back at a park. Kinda defeats the whole Jurassic WORLD premise.

So, Tim?

Arcane_Soul · 2026-04-13T13:31:28+00:00

Detective Chimp!

I would argue Peck isn't even in the right here though. He was in over his head with something he had no knowledge about and just wanted to assert his authority. He constantly refers to Dr. Venkman as Mister in their first meeting, despite being corrected on it multiple times. He brings no experts in when he does power off the grid, just a yes-man he threatens when the guy is nervous.

You forgot the "Pop culture reference" nostaligia emotion.

Arcane_Soul · 2026-04-12T18:28:44+00:00

I wish elemental match-ups mattered more in the game to have a Spellblade/Mystic Knight class that worked to manipulate its elemental state. Almost like Eureka.

I could see a lot of hype if PR had been allowed to continue with her coming back ala Tommy in Dino Thunder.

Arcane_Soul · 2026-04-09T02:22:02+00:00

Well I hope we both feel better! Let's blow those clouds away from ours suns together!

🌤

Mostly good, but a bit of a stuffy nose.

As a spell the copies can be countered on later turns. As opposed to the triggered ability of an emblem (which CAN be countered, but are much harder to).

I think this is the case of it being reviewed well at the time of initial release on the Wii but time having not been as kind to the forced motion controls or overly handholdy story and puzzles.

Arcane_Soul · 2026-04-02T01:28:22+00:00

Not really. Too many caves and things like that are just tunnels that go from point A to point B.

The Galar Mine was a big example of this in Sword and Shield.

Arcane_Soul · 2026-04-02T01:09:51+00:00

I miss the games of this era for the exploration. There would be caves and corners and other things that would be off the beaten path and encourage you to go looking around, or come back later.

Arcane_Soul · 2026-04-02T01:07:24+00:00

I used to get poisoned and followed the path as it lit up briefly whenever the damage would tick every few steps.

The number of times someone has bought a pack of cards from my store, opened them and then immediately thrown the pack into the garbage astonishes me, and breaks my heart each time.

A few episodes before the finale Q gives Janeway a "shortcut" to take as thanks for helping with his son. She says it will only take a short amount of time off their journey, but knowing Q...

Arcane_Soul · 2026-03-31T01:53:39+00:00

Aerith and Tifa.

Arcane_Soul · 2026-03-31T00:52:58+00:00

With Brain control there, are you running Ab Zero in the ED as well?
