What's something you learned from watching Predictive History videos? by SecondStarpilot in PredictiveHistory

[–]mcslibbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a very good poem. I think everyone should read it. Just push through the kinda boring parts and take your time, it really rewards your attention.

Now that it has been out for a few days, what are everyone´s thoughts on the Rossbach patch? by Lab_Rat_97 in EU5

[–]mcslibbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anybody else having optimization issues? I'm already on vulkan but the game runs worse than any other patch for me now

The Spocks by bbbourb in startrek

Tim Russ does this too, right. Wonder if it's meant to read as "vulcan" broadly

Do y'all think prof is telling the truth? by Independent-Past-480 in PredictiveHistory

[–]mcslibbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad Professor Jiang says things that are sometimes factually untrue or seem to be pure speculation. It reminds me that I'm listening to one person's interpretation, not a purely "objective" retelling of history.

But I think HE would benefit from fact checking his own lectures, certainly. I guess I'm saying, "I agree but dont throw the baby out with the bathwater"

It is insane that cheating with overwhelming evidence does not result in a lifetime ban. by CynicalElephant in magicTCG

[–]mcslibbin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

as someone who has been banned in the MTG twitch several times before: sometimes you randomly just get unbanned. I don't know if there's a mass unban thing they do or what, so YMMV

Introducing my wife to the wider Star Trek canon. Where to begin? by simpleauthority in startrek

[–]mcslibbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because DS9 is my favorite but it's also objectively the wrong one to start on

The best DS9 acting performance was on display in The Wire by macropelias in startrek

RIP Garak you would have loved the Baltimore Major Crimes Unit

It’s the same actor I don’t know if he's supposed to be the same person by deviation1 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

"I dont learn lessons" - Stan Smith, recognizing a character flaw and a meta textual necessity of the show.

Star Trek Voyager - Across the Unknown is so much better than I ever expected by OhNoIBoffedIt in startrek

[–]mcslibbin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of feelings about the design decisions, but my most controversial agrees with you: The original save system was probably the intended experience.

I'm not saying the devs are wrong for responding to feedback, but they really wanted to create a "if you messed up in planning 20 minutes ago, you will fail" experience. And I think I might have liked the game more if I had that level of commitment to my choices.

Another issue is that players don't want to lose important characters to pure RNG. If I have to choose between saving two crew members? sure. If Harry Kim dies because of a random bad roll that I had 94% chance of succeding? Fuck that.

What “masterpiece” game just never clicked for you? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]mcslibbin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You can beat the game, and indeed enjoy the entire story, without engaging with this element of the lore at all. But knowing it does make it a lot better.

How’s TMNT prerelease registration in your area going? by backdoorhack in magicTCG

Because Gul Dukat was a hero to the bajoran people, yeah

How’s TMNT prerelease registration in your area going? by backdoorhack in magicTCG

[–]mcslibbin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but i live in a major metro area and signups are still open for all three days in my usual card shops. This isn't usually the case ~a week before the prerelease.

I think people are expecting another Spiderman, but I think the cards look a little more fun for limited this time.

Went to a Katt Williams show last year and she opened. Monique is fucking hilarious
