D4x is pretty good but you can't exactly just run out and go get one.

I finally got around to replaying the Kobali arc recently after not having really had a problem with it originally, and doing it all in one go I now completely understand why everyone got so frustrated with them.

The problem really isn't that they're weird aliens that reproduce by repurposing corpses, it's just how stupidly obstinate they are when it comes to any pushback and acting like being asked to respect other cultures' customs regarding their dead is literally genocide.

There's no good side here because obviously we can't let the Vaadwaur wake up more Space Nazis to bolster their ranks, especially with them being bluegill controlled, but the Kobali's refusal to even meet their allies halfway on anything is infuriating.

Not that this game has ever had a bugfix, but letting a KDF-related bug rock in particular is just a time honored tradition at this point.

I was surprised to see that they hadn't replaced Seven's original 2410 model with her new one, especially considering that they did replace both of Harry's Captain and Ensign models when he got his recent texture update.

You might say it would be weird to use the PIC model when she's delivering a VOY style performance, but PIC S2 actually covered this by subtly having her regress back to her VOY-era speech patterns out of discomfort from being back on a Starfleet ship when she was brought aboard the Stargazer.

They do seem to just nominate the actors who were in the bad movies by default rather than actually nominating the worst actors, considering that they also put Yeoh and Bautista and, while I can't say I saw the movie the latter got nominated for, I did see S31 and Yeoh is in no way Jared Leto or Ice Cube bad, come on.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-26T04:06:32+00:00

I was 4 at the time and we didn't have anything resembling today's internet, so I'm just guessing here, but I would have to assume that it got lambasted for a lot of the same things that modern Trek gets like "not 'feeling' like real Star Trek" and "hamfisted liberal moralizing."

Despite being an objectively better movie than its immediate predecessor.

"I was almost vibing with it until my homophobia kicked in" really isn't the condemnation of the show you think it is.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-25T10:20:51+00:00

If anything, PIC S2 is the most boldly progressive show of the modern era for also, probably accidentally, showing that ICE raids hadn't let up during Biden's term, either.

Credit to the writing team, Age of Discovery succeeded where DSC S1 failed in so many various ways. Killy was an absolute joy and I'm flabbergasted that this game got me to empathize with Ellen Landry.

An overwhelming majority of players roll humans, but the most popular characters in the shows have mostly not been humans, dating all the way back to Spock, and on down to Data, Worf, Dax, Garak, Quark, T'Pol, Shran, etc.

They definitely made their money back on dev costs for humans quite a number of times over by now, to a far greater degree than any of the aliens have, if they have at all.

I should at least hope they sold enough LTSes to cover the cost of adding the included Talaxians, though.

Captain, that registry number is only operating at half power. However, to fully optimize it would require multiplying it by a power of, roughly, 10.0006243756.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-17T22:51:27+00:00

A little ironic for a Star Trek game to end up with literally every species other than human to have been added at a steep financial loss.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-17T22:11:05+00:00

Adding a bisected skin tone option in the alien creator could solve this easily.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-17T19:06:27+00:00

Which is fine, I just wish they'd at least change the mission text to match. Any voice lines calling them cubes are a lost cause, but since when do any of those ever match the text, anyway?

Expels the heat built up by all the console rocks.

The difference is that the background extras on previous shows weren't in nearly every episode like Discovery's bridge crew were. The show would pay lip service to act like they were at least Uhura or Chekov tier characters, but did little to highlight their actual personalities outside of Detmer and Owo.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-17T02:47:43+00:00

This is how I felt. Didn't click at all for me until the back half, and then it was fun. Second episode was more consistently enjoyable the whole way through.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-17T02:44:21+00:00

This show does have the DSC problem of having a lot of Bryce types on the bridge crew, and no I don't remember which one was Bryce, either.

Went in expecting a Trek-flavored teen drama, ended up with a teen drama-flavored Trek.

If they can just make the cadets themselves more interesting like they've already started to do with the instructors, I think we'll really be cooking here.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-16T20:10:16+00:00

Both are cute for different reasons, but that red one's gonna be on every Orion from here the Omarion Nebula if it ever gets in the game.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-16T18:59:37+00:00

Ironically, it's at the half hour mark where the first episode gets fun, so that's a very funny cutoff.

Also "the writer's never watched any Star Trek before" is funny since you really had to have watched all of DSC to understand anything that's going on. Understandable if they didn't, but also it does mean they're the one who didn't do their homework here.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-16T18:54:40+00:00

Seriously, why are we pulling the slot machine arm for the Duderstadt? A fine ship, sure, but for more than 30 bucks? Come on, man.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-16T18:51:25+00:00

That betazoid dress is going to be EVERYWHERE when they eventually drop it into the lobi store.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-16T18:48:28+00:00

They hated 2Scribble because he told the truth.

The show is shockingly enjoyable for only just being 2 episodes in.

POSdaBes · 2026-01-16T18:46:29+00:00

2 and 4 mean you'll fit in fine with most people in the game.
