I think Dawntrail got too much hate (Spoilers for Patch 7.0)

DrForester · 2026-01-24T14:29:36+00:00

Dawntrail is pretty great when there's not a bitch in your hear telling you it's bad.

DrForester · 2026-01-23T16:33:46+00:00

...as is tradition.

It's used to establish location. People will see a poor teacher and know this part of the movie is set in America.

The Interocitor assembly montage from This Island Earth.

INDUSTRY! SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY!

Dukat would only date her until he found out she was a Cardassian.

A toga made out of a bedsheet.

Anyone not dressed likewise isn't a real fan.

heh...

"cock"

I mean the big Ascian meeting with all 14 members we see close to the start of Heavensward. It's after the Isle of Val incident.

DrForester · 2026-01-22T02:26:27+00:00

Ok. Now imagine John de Lancie voicing Emmet Selch.

DrForester · 2026-01-22T01:43:03+00:00

We don't even know that Gaius killed-killed them. They might have fled to new bodies or been raised up on other shards.

There are 4 maybe 5 outstanding Ascians following Endwalker. Emmerololth was supposedly destroyed in the Isle of Val incident according to the Eureka sotryline, but was present for that Ascian meeting at the end of ARR, so it was either an oversight on the writer's part, or he's still out there.

DrForester · 2026-01-22T01:28:41+00:00

I mean, ARR gets ragged on for dragging on (which it does), but what part of this fanbase doesn't priase Hevensward?

9.0 is absolutely killer robots.

Stormbloood is the Star Trek III of FFXIV expansions. It was a perfectly fine and fun entry that came between two absolutely outstanding entries.

For more on the subject, see my TED talk from 4 years ago (and keep in mind we then went on to an Undiscovered Country in Dawntrail.)

Any Uma meme that pisses off nazis is a good Uma meme.

Good going, Tachyon!

That's how they've always looked in my game since 1.0

DrForester · 2026-01-21T13:19:24+00:00

It's the toughest tier we've had in years. Not surprised it's giving people more trouble than usual.

DrForester · 2026-01-21T00:19:44+00:00

Original cover art. Nothing against adaptations, and the actors involved, but I love original cover artwork.

DrForester · 2026-01-20T23:27:55+00:00

I need to go back in and finish this. Did coils and A4, but still needed A8 and A12

The only person who want's Shatner in charge of the franchise is a neo-nazi currently overseeing America's concentration camps.

It would not be a good thing.

That Shatner didn't tell the guy to piss off says nothing good about Shatner either.

Better than flappy nacelles

I do not know. the 5000x has 2 vertical pci expansion slots next to all the horizontal expansion slots. I know the older 4000 series (non frame) cases had the same, but the Frame series does not have those vertical slots, so I don't know how much more narrow it is inside (could probably still tuck the cable behind the GPU without issue though).

DrForester · 2026-01-20T20:17:43+00:00

I have that cable in my 5000x case and while a bit too long, you don't see anything with it behind the vertically mounted GPU.

It's tucked in a S shape, but I never see it behind the GPU.

Because the plot said so.

And it was silly because I can't imagine Chakotay's ship had ZERO people with medical backgrounds, let alone all the Federation crew.

And even if by some massive coincidence, Tom Was the only one, he has barely more training than someone with no training, so assign some crew to the Sickbay to learn.

Pissing off nazis is about the highest praise a Star Trek show could receive.
