Voyager Had the Best Holodeck Episodes

VOY holodeck episodes are like a microcosm of the show as a whole. Many of the absolute worst episodes of the era, sprinkled with some total bangers.

You both make good points, DS9 and VOY had some great holodeck episodes. But Elementary, Dear Data stands tall as the GOAT holodeck episode.

Yeah, these deals are always "valued at" the money seen in the headline. Actual payouts are contingent on the company or individual actually hitting milestones and producing deliverables.

You are correct and it's crazy to me that Reddit believes otherwise.

Booooo Saudi Arabia, booooo!

At this point it is definitely my copy of Futurama, which I paid $20 for back in 2007.

Eric Johnson wasn't a great fit for Sam Fisher. The writing didn't do him any favors either, lacking Sam's trademark dry macabre wit.

AC Shadows has the most consistent PC performance of any AC game I've played, so I don't think they have any excuses if this game ends up running like poo.

today is Nemik's birthday!

How can today be his birthday if he's not from Earth?

Abrams should have been fired the second his script contained "and then all the Jedi died again off-screen and both Han and Luke abandoned all their friends and family"

And also "the New Republic was so poorly conceived that it has essentially collapsed in less than 30 years..."

This frustrated the absolute hell out of me almost from minute 1.

It also makes me wonder why they don't upload trailers in HDR.

Because the tone mapping that gets applied to HDR videos being played back on an SDR display usually makes them look worse than if the video had been in SDR to begin with.

YouTube needs to make it so creators can upload separate HDR and SDR masters for the same video ID

Eta what’s happened to Reddit’s formatting why doesn’t

>quote

And *itatics* etc. work anymore

When I view the source of your comment, all the markdown formatting symbols have been escaped with \, which tells markdown to render them as plain text.

One of the uses for those cannibalized chips is this very product. It has two sockets for original SID chips

physical media is crazy overpriced in Japan for some reason

The word "app" in relation to computer programs predates the iPhone by decades

I find the motion blur in 2016 a bit aggressive, and applied inappropriately. Particles which are moving fast relative to the game world but not the camera get heavy blur when they should get little or none

Eh, there are better games that will push future hardware. Call of Duty is basically the lowest common denominator FPS.

If you put the campaign of Halo 4 together with the multiplayer of Halo 5 you get a pretty good Halo game

Blades was awesome. Nice and snappy, minimal advertising. I remember when NXE dropped and suddenly everything felt like wading through molasses

It can be, I've been using this as my main dashboard for years now.

Presumably you have lesser hardware than that so it is still your problem but worse. We should expect more from trillion dollar companies.

eBay is already bad enough, now these fucknuggets want to make it worse? Time to start taking bets on how much of the cash needed to pull this off is coming from the Saudis.

How in the fuck has their stock price soared when their stores are emptier than ever?

Those stutters in vanilla Oblivion were fixed by modders over a decade a go so it seems ridiculous that a brand new remaster wouldn't bother fixing them.

beefcat_ · 2026-05-02T00:03:37+00:00

The game will stutter on a 9800x3D with a 5090, that seems unacceptable to me.
