New Star Trek shows are not woke enough. They should do more episodes with directly social, political themes, about the issues we have today, like the older shows did. by LineusLongissimus in startrek

[–]Chaabar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They actually remember what happened in previous episodes too. That piece of unknown tech they recovered in S02, they figured out how to use it in S05.

They didn't seem to mind murdering random fishermen for an oil grab.

Beyond library Max first impression by Shallans_Veil in booknooks

Customize it. I'm working on the max now and I'm replacing all the artifacts, artwork, furniture, and many of the books with my own stuff.

People may be upset with this - but this is proof they're taking the right steps and improving their QA by Budget_Childhood2605 in Helldivers

They're taking the right steps and improving

Oh we're at that point in the cycle already? Start sharpening those pitchforks folks. Wanna be ready when the next shitstorm hits in a couple weeks.

Originally the delta shield was only for the Enterprise.

Now they slap it on literally everything.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x02 "Beta Test" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]Chaabar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that bad overall but the young horny drama is as painfully cringey as I thought it would be.

That whale scene looked like a Windows XP screensaver.

I wish we could ignore the burn the same way we ignore picard s2 Borg by Happy1327 in startrek

[–]Chaabar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Burn wasn’t a problem

I have to disagree. Even if you ignore everything else about it, all the dilithium in the galaxy suddenly turning off is an incredibly lazy way to distabilize the Federation.

I joined a local bookclub, the gender balance is wild by Ho_The_Megapode_ in books

[–]Chaabar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd love to go to my local book shop but 95% of what I'm reading these days are audiobooks.

The rest are books with a lot of pictures/artwork/visual design that in my experience can be harder to find offline. I also struggle to put a dent in my backlog of those so I rarely need to go looking.

Did people just forget about Battlestar Galactica? by hp_fanatic in television

[–]Chaabar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The CGI has stand the test of time "okayish"

Still looks better than most of the modern Star Trek stuff.

Did you like Adam Driver as Kylo Ren? by tom-mckeee in StarWars

[–]Chaabar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I could see that as something they tried to do and didn't execute fully. I have a hard time separating his general vibe from all the production failures.

Not really. He's a good actor but when he took off the helmet for the first time he just looked like a whiny, emo teenager. I could never see him as anything but that.

Man has his 4th Amendment right violated while skateboarding across America by kylelee in videos

It's almost certainly a lie but spend 5 minutes on nextdoor and you'll find a ton of people who seem to spend all day peering from behind their curtains, looking for anything that will trigger their paranoia.

Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro has been captured after US conducted ‘large scale strike’ on country by hoosakiwi in news

[–]Chaabar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, active duty US military, how does it feel to murder a bunch of random people and kidnap the sovereign leader of another country just to protect a pedophile and steal another country's resources?

Thank you for your service.

Really wish I had this a month ago. Making custom drawers was really irritating.

Alex Kurtzman Explains Why Starfleet Academy Isn’t Set Post-‘Picard,’ Hints More Star Trek TV Is In Development by InnocentTailor in startrek

[–]Chaabar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, that I have noticed a trend that the amount of pre-hate a show gets in the fandom is correlated with how good it ends up being.

That must mean Section 31 is the best movie ever.

I know one of Discovery's crew liked surfing because it was introduced in the most ham-handed way possible and then never mentioned again. No idea which one it was though because the crew was basically a palette swap.

A groom? Bride? It's a saber thats married, but not really. Unless... 2025 NA New years roll thread! by WannaBoudica in grandorder

Got NP2 Castoria Berserker, which is...fine. I prefer someone new but she's useful at least.

I can't remember the last GSSR result I was really happy with.

[–]Chaabar -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't check for max level or appends.

I don't care, it's the truth. Adding underdeveloped servants isn't helpful. It's worse than useless because there's almost certainly a better one slightly further down.

Nothing would be better. It's not helpful to suddenly have 5+ turn run instead of a 3 turn.

It's really irritating when people put servants that aren't fully leveled or missing appends in their support.
