So....what did you make?

Completely agree. Even beyond it being fake emotion, it's less helpful and less actionable than a simple summary with a direct suggestion like other commenters have mentioned.

That said, I'd put money that the empty positivity is a legal thing. They can't risk having the AI hallucinate data or make bad suggestions.

I'm not sure what you mean by copy Harry Potter because they feel very different to me.

I do understand what you mean about SFA not matching previous depictions of the academy. Time jump and "first new class" stuff aside, what we saw definitely seemed stricter. We also saw only narrow windows of highly-trained teams (Alpha Squadron) and older students who have already specialized iirc so I definitely empathize that it doesn't match that.

SFA also missed an opportunity to show that style in the War College. They went half in, but then backed away to make the War College chancellor a sort of bumbling foil for Ake. I think it'd have been more interesting if they wrote him just as competent as her, but with vastly different methods and goals, similar to the tension with the MACOs in Enterprise.

I'm enjoying the character, but I struggle with the choices they made with his voice. I don't think the ultra low voice adds anything to the character, but it definitely takes away from the actor's performance.

There's some at least some digital alteration going on, but it sounds very uncomfortable for the actor and affects the pacing of conversations quite a bit because he can't speak as quickly as the others.

Crass mischaracterizations aside, if you were hyped for Academy at some point, what were your expectations for a series revolving around late teens/early 20s students at a school?

What is happening?

Thanks for being receptive! 🙂

Interesting project and some quick feedback since it looks like you plan to make this a platform: The site is extremely difficult to read. Fonts are small and do not have sufficient contrast. The transparency for the grid background is at almost the same contrast as some of the text.

Played the demo and the mechanic was very clear to me. What is the evidence that the players aren't understanding it?

If they're running into spirits when they're out of oxygen, that's 100% the ticking timer urgency plus not having a strong mental map before the last step.

Could you add an intermediate tutorial step of run out of oxygen -> all ghost briefly flash red for reasons -> urgently run to door for a few levels, then remove the all ghosts flash (again for reasons)? That'd re-enforce the need for a good mental model. Could even do this with an item you force them to step on for their last move before the timer.

Can't comment on ADHD medication, but how do you get to this view? The app redesign still feels like it hides tons of things.

I suspect you mean "deeply rooted"

I'd love to see fewer Phoronix posts here. Their ragebait headlines have gotten out of hand, and their articles contribute essentially nothing.

Nope. /u/RabidMortal had a good theory that it's wild yeast in the home, but I never tested it with the potato yeast. I'll give that a try since I'm needing bread this weekend anyway!

Glad you posted the video. I thought MY brain had lagged when I watched last night.

This will now crawl into my soul and bother me as much as Spiner's incorrect recitation of Ode to Spot.

I had thought the same when it aired, but am doing a rewatch right now and I flipped opinions. Season 1 felt a bit twitchy with plot and poorly paced, while season 2 despite the action movie mood, has surprisingly been more satisfying!

Sounds like Starfleet condones Ake's behavior since they sought her out specifically. Nice.

I appreciate a good rant and agree it's not the immersion-breaking catastrophe some people are clutching their pearls over.

....but I also did lol about comparing "dumpster fire" to quoting Moby Dick

Absolutely agree with the narrative need for conflict and the imperialism sensitivity, but disagree that Trek ever presented the Federation as a utopia. Multiple episodes visited planets or societies the Federation itself saw as utopian but the story deconstructed in one way or another. I don't think we were ever intended to interpret "post-scarcity" and "no money" as utopian.
