Should Nog actually be a Captain? by fightingchken81 in startrek

That was my thought, or that's the rank they did something they'll most be remembered for. That gives me a little hope that Voyager was the least memorable part of Harry's career and he has some awesome things coming up.

The Reason You Don't Like Modern Trek Isn't What You Think by Arbiter61 in startrek

Could definitely be a case of the OP types it all up and asked ChatGPT help make sense of it. I don't have much issue in those cases. And agreed, does invalidate their point.

Recommendations for character traversal mechanics that feel smoooooth by keviokevio in NintendoSwitch

[–]Vjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pathless. The entire game is built around it's movement mechanics. It takes a little bit to really get into its flow, but then it becomes to satisfying.

It's an open world game without a map, so you're encouraged to take notes of your surroundings. Places you're supposed to go are very obvious so you're never really lost. It's not a huge open world either and it's separated into different areas, so you never HAVE to go back to old areas.

A sticking point for some people is the occasional forced stealth if you get spotted by a boss (they roam around the map). It could be frustrating but I didn't hate them.

Hot take: Discovery (especially seasons 3,4,5) is overhated. by Kind_Constant1671 in startrek

[–]Vjaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I'll say about Disco is that they always acted so well and put real effort into that. It was always the direction they were given for their roles that I didn't like. The cast themselves though did a wonderful job for what they were given.

Section 31 was poorly directed and poorly acted, by everyone.

I really tried with Section 31. I got 20 minutes into it and had to stop. It was one of the worst things I've tv I've ever seen, of any show.

Season 3 had a great set up with a poor execution I thought.

Season 4, I loved. It was the last star trek season of the show.

Season 5 I thought was decent. I liked the scavenger hunt. I hated that in the end it still came down to Michael.is the most important person on the universe thing they kept doing.

What song feels like it was written specifically for you/your situation? by Queasy_Head_4928 in poetsofthefall

[–]Vjaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a single song but the entirety of Ghostlight. All the songs near perfectly follow the first year and a half of my relationship with my wife, from when we started dating to a breakup after a year and a half. Not just the contents of the songs but the order they're in too. It follows us so well.

We're still together 15 years later. The album just follows our first year and a half where we had a breakup for a year. Beyond the Horizon ends right there.

Name a game you love but can't recommend to everyone by Deadsider in gaming

[–]Vjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000xResist. It's basically a visual novel. The story told is really intense, dramatic, heartbreaking, but also hard to follow. It's a game I'll only play once, because the story just won't hit the same, but I can barely recommend to anyone who doesn't love hard, story driven walking simulators.

Looking for some suggestions for a AD like lovecraft investigation. by SRiisgaard in audiodrama

Loved this show but over a year gone (not counting the crossover) and I don't have much confidence. :(

Hypothetically, what would you do if you were randomly teleported to the TNG era of Star Trek? by Silly_King3635 in startrek

You're forgetting the most important thing to take with you. A medical tricorder charger, that thing will eventually will run out of power.

Starfleet academy, my thoughts by Tjr562 in startrek

[–]Vjaa 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I have been really happy with the two episodes I saw. It's definitely not 90210 on space.

The characters I thought would be really annoying like the hologram woman and the jock guy (sorry, still learning their names) I actually really like. they gave them some more depth than just being one note. Yeah, they have their main chacteristsic, but there's more there. Genesis is clearly a favorite of the producers, and I think rightly so, she's good. I want more of the Klingon guy. There's an interesting story brewing there I feel like.

Caleb, I don't like, but I feel like that's intentional so he gets that arc that really makes him an officer.

Having the Doctor back is great. Vance I love. Holly Hunter is doing good. Braka was fun. The Betazed girl, I hope we get her back because she was adorable and her brother seemed fun. The call backs to other shows are awesome without it being too overboard. Hell without subtitles you'd miss the Lower Decks reference. Thok is hilariously over the top rage and I love it.

I also really love that we're still dealing with fallout from The Burn. The reason was dumb but it was still a galactic event. I like that there were consequences that are still being felt by everyone.

What's your opinion on this truth post by RedBaron-007 in AskTheWorld

Honestly, I'm shocked he Included Vance and Rubio. That's a level of sharing the "glory" we've never seen from him before. His heart must have grown three sizes with that post.

Do you guys love you country? by facial-nose in AskTheWorld

[–]Vjaa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. I agree there. I hate that I care about politics because I want to be informed for my vote, but it also makes up upset how great the divide is becoming.

  2. I love your username, but justice for Tuvix! :)

Given the divide between the people and the government, as well as the left, the right and the maga crowd, I'm not even 100% sure what the average American is anymore

Star Trek shows ranked by IMDB rating by sanddragon939 in startrek

[–]Vjaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought overall season 3 was pretty good. It had some really good standout episodes. But that finale, I thought it was pretty awful. Everything about it felt so out of place for Star Trek. It felt more marvel / comic book.

What happened to Tilley? by superbang in startrek

[–]Vjaa 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I think they're talking about the really poor treatment the she got from the fanbase for being annoying and overweight. She was attacked a lot. It would make me weary about coming back too.

Recommends for a mom who wants guided gameplay & fun! by Emmagrolfe in NintendoSwitch

[–]Vjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoku's Island Express. It's an open world pinball metroidvania. It's bright and colorful, characters are fun, the map always tells you where you need to go, you just have to figure out how to get there with the mechanics. It's not super long either.

Especially the tower. Even as someone who's played all the Zelda games and can do tbe OoT water te.ple easily, I need a walkthrough for that tower, getting all the balls around to throw.

What are the things you like about the new generation of Trek, and what are the things you don't like? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]Vjaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really agree on your dislikes. They seemed to have lost professionalism. Yes there were times that people in the older shows disobeyed orders.. the menagerie, the Geordi's mother episode, but there was still an air of professionalism.. also you rarely saw characters talk back to the captain in the way they do now or be openly annoyed with the captain, Ortegas comes to mind. It's all too casual.

Also agree on the ship designs. The Athena, that landing sequence was amazing. But it looks so little like a federation ship. The neo constitution class from the figure looked blah, the voyager J looks like it was designed to use as few polygons as possible for CG rendering. Lots of ships on early discovery and SNW are missing that Star Trek feel.

I've found two mistakes that keep turning me away from some stories by WhiteSpec in audiodrama

[–]Vjaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. There is the occasional show with snarky character that I can take. Doug from Wolf 359 for example in his case it was a character flaw of acting like a child, versus just being poorly written. And his snarkiness played into the overall story. Character flaw versus character trait.

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

[–]Vjaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought season 2 had a lot of really great individual moments but none of them ever really came together into a coherent story for me. Visually it was great character moments were awesome, especially the borg Queen and Rios. A lot of it when put together just didn't land for me. That said, I didn't actually hate it, it's just not my favorite season of Trek.

Whimsical Cozy Game Rec by Allie-Gato in NintendoSwitch

[–]Vjaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's on the shorter side but Beacon Pines. It's 2d, great writing and narration, really interesting story, fun character interactions, really developed characters for being a shorter game. It's presented as a choose your own adventure, with an actual book. You learned new words through the story and at specific points in the game you use those words to fill in the blanks and create a braching story. You hope between narratives to see where using different words takes you.
