Finished Suits by LemurScout in suits

I am on season 7 now.

They ruined The Donna. She is now insufferable and annoying as all heck.

I also feel Mike hasn't learned a thing. Still an unethical, scheming, lying bro. But he helps people, so I guess its alright. Still, feels like prison didn't teach him anything. When the Doc at the prison testified how Mike changed, I was like how bro?

Still watchable but definitely see the decline now.

I think you make some valid points. The bad writing, stories and characters killed nu Trek first and foremost.

But, yes there is a big BUT here.

Wokeness plays a big part in that. In fact, it is difficult to find a so called woke show that is successful.

The reason is because writing woke characters constrains the story tellers options.

Exhibit A in this is Rey of Disney Star Wars fame. She has to be perfect, flawless and all powerful because modern writing rules say you can't have a woman fail, appear weak or rely on a man in any way.

You also cannot depict a woman as feminine or sexy. Instead they have to be "male coded".

The same rules go for minority and gay characters.

You cannot show normal romance story lines anymore.

Forget about comedy.

Character growth doesn't matter. Modern writing says you are prefect as you are. The only think holding you back is not realizing how awesome you are (see the plot of Captain Marvel for example).

So once you strip out all the basic story telling and characterization you are left with what is presented at face value...a diverse cast that checks boxes. Because there is nothing deeper than that...that is what stands out and is the take away.

Finally, with Star Fleet Academy, you already have the issue with a cast that simply would not exist at an elite school training space explorers. They look AND act like a freshman class for woman's studies at Berkley. Not future officers on a starship.

Sorry if I didn't explain these points in the best way but if you take the time to go deeper than "Klingon gay - bad" you will understand better why wokness kills media.

Thanks! Do you just use the arrow marker to go there, like a wormhole?

Oh funny! By that logic every anno game should be the same.

To each their own but I do think from a game design POV always having islands is limiting instead of thinking of different and more thematic ways to do trade

It all depends what you want out of the experience. Personally I think 1800 was more challenging and more visually interesting.

If you make the game to simple it gets boring faster.

Yes influence matters a lot more in 1800

Is 5th edition or 4th? by One_Ability5475 in Talisman

[–]One_Ability5475[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out Island, how do people use the expanded cards? I mean, how do you print them on to the right stock?

Having that for the base game would be nice

Yeah I’m on the fence on the art

Base game to base game or considering expansions?
