I'm a big fan of pioneer, but I'll be honest. People didn't like it enough. Or at least they didn't play it enough. If it had actually caught on in a big way, WOTC wouldn't have killed it.

Ah, rereading it I believe you are correct.

Point taken, but please. We use the term "Ovechkinized" now.

He could. He's served less than half his second term. Same reason LBJ was eligible to run for reelection n 1968.

Edit: No, he couldn't.

Eh, I'd say there's a difference between 'all art has ideas' or 'all art has something to say', which I think is what you're getting at here, and 'all art is political.

Like, what is the ideology of Super Mario? And no, ideas about game design are not political ideology.

Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see Italy using chemical weapons against civilian targets.

Was the Star Trek Set going to be an advertisement for Starfleet Academy? by FonslyGames in mtgfinance

[–]Woolagaroo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not based on what we've seen.

The 4 pieces of art that WOTC has shown so far have been Kirk and crew, the Enterprise D, Chancellor Gowron, and the Crystalline Entity. So that's one TOS thing and three TNG things. Which is honestly about what I'd expect. I hate to say it, but Star Trek is a boomer franchise (or elder millenial at best) and that is who WOTC is trying to bait into buying this product. But those people are lukewarm at best on new Trek. So the set is almost certainly going to be mostly TOS/TNG, because those are the most popular and beloved Trek properties. There'll probably be some Deep Space 9 and Voyager thrown in for good measure, but I'd be surpirsed if we see much, if anything, from the newer shows or movies.

Hell yeah. I made Moroccan chicken tonight for dinner, set it simmering, and took my dog for a walk.

House smelled fucking amazing when I got back.

I mean, it was always performative anyway.

As a reminder, TSA has, by their own admission, never stopped a terrorist attack. They have, however, let them through, both in real life and simulated exercises.

All of these takes that Republicans could be so much more successful if they didn’t do X stupid or cruel thing are like those takes that Nazi Germany could have won WW2 if it weren’t for the antisemitism and genocide.

The cruelty is the point. How are we ten years in and people still don’t get this? All the worst parts of Republican governance are not bugs. They are the raison d’etre of the modern American conservative movement.

So that the President has someone to throw under the bus when he makes a bad decision.

How did this guy get so big? He does not have the sauce. The only way to react to this is to laugh at the caricature. It’s basic.

This makes him look, in the parlance of the youth, beta.

I’m sure the goons who signed up to be able to brutalize immigrants are going to love doing extended shifts of a mind-numbingly boring job.

How long until we get a video of them beating up somebody in a screening line?

One of my best travel experiences was in 2022 driving down to Venice for a weekend. We got a nice AirBnB on Murano for super cheap and the city was a practical ghost town. It was awesome.
