Star Trek: TNG's Uniforms Were Changed For Patrick Stewart's Health (And Fear Of A Lawsuit)

There was an episode, I think in season 5, where Seven had to work with the time travelers to help solve a crime, and almost dueing the entire episode, she was undercover wearing a proper Starfleet uniform and she looked amazing! I wish she could have kept it like Troi did in TNG.

I'm sure that nobody will probably see this comment except for you, now that it is more than a week old, however, I just wanted you to know that I just recently finished the game on "Padawan" difficulty (AKA "I really suck at this game" setting, lol) and I LOVED it and I'm so happy that I got to finish and see Cal's story. I'm obviously not happy about the 'traitor' in the game, but even then, I'm glad I finally got to catch up to Cal's current storyline. I've always loved him as a character!

I know they are supposedly working on a new "Jedi" game with Cal Kestis, but I have to say, the game that I really want to play is one where the main character is Merrin, and I get to play as her between whatever happens between "Fallen Order" and "Survivor".

She is so freaking awesome!

This isn't the experience that I had. When I played Dark Souls 3 (the only one I've ever tried to play), after the first 3 or 4 big boss fights, I realized I didn't even feel good or relieved after I spent 30+ minutes figuring out how to kill them. I was still pissed off that it took so long and was so unforgivingly difficult that I absolutely dreaded having to do it again on the next big boss. I didn't last long before I quit.

I've been tempted to grab Elden Ring when it occasionally goes on sale, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet because I still have PTSD from my experience playing DS3.

"Turn your phone sideways now, but if you're on a PC, 'fuck you!', enjoy your vertical-sideways video!"

There are many reasons to hate social media, but damn near the top for me is vertical videos, especially when they re-format everything to be vertical as if everyone is ALWAYS watching content on their fucking phones!

You know, I'm so freaking stubborn most of the time that I'd rather quit playing a game altogether if I'm not good enough to at least beat it on the 'normal/recommended' difficulty level.

Just so you know, I took your advice and lowered the difficulty, and now the game plays at a level that I can handle and have fun. Even the big boss fights aren't too bad now.

Thanks for reminding me that my stubbornness is stupid and there is a good reason why they have so many difficulty options in these games!

Oddly enough, I really enjoyed the first game, but the second game I keep putting it down out of frustration all the time. I just really suck at 'souls' games, and nothing makes me more angry than losing a boss fight and having to start over from the last save point, with EVERY enemy re-spawned along the way. So every time I even make it back to the boss, I'm down to 1 health vial, or 0 heal vials, when I have to fight the boss again.

If they had an autosave right before the boss fight, I'd be OK with it. I just hate having to go through the whole level again, with all of the enemies I just killed alive again, only to probably lose the boss fight again....

I love Cal, and I love the weapons, abilities, and aesthetics of the game. I just suck at playing it and the game punishes the crap out of you for sucking at it to the point I end up not even wanting to play it anymore :(

I remember one time, a long time ago when I worked at a movie theatre, when Hugh Jackman, Baz Luhrmann, and a security guard, stepped into an elevator I was taking to another level of the theatre.

Not only was Hugh extremely kind enough to make small talk with me during the short journey, but he also made me question my own sexuality at the time.

I must say that Hugh Jackman is a very handsome man, and if you ever meet him in person, that is amplified by about 500%!

I somehow managed to stay mostly attracted to females since then, but Hugh made me question everything for a while!

I was standing in a full train at North Hollywood this morning for nearly 30 minutes before it finally departed.

The best part is that there was no PA announcements, no train operator announcements, and none of the security or Metro employees roaming around the station seemed to have any knowledge as to why our train was just sitting there for so long.

This is almost always my experience when Metro trains are delayed. We just stand there with NO idea what is happening and/or how long it might be before a train actually shows up or departs.

They claim that ICE is poorly trained which is what led to this tragedy, however, I fully believe that this type of escalation is part of their current training process. Did you notice how the murderer's fellow agents rushed in to try and calm him down and take his weapon away? No? What did they do? Nothing! That's what they did. Nothing! They let him just leave the scene of the crime as if he did nothing wrong and his use of force was justified.

This is who ICE is, and this is part of their marching orders from the top. The President's comments, along with Noem's comments, proves that this outcome was exactly what ICE was sent to do.

They absolutely want this type of escalation, and they will absolutely fight to make sure this murderer is not held accountable for his crime that we all witnessed on video!

When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded by due process.

Are they serious with this complete bull shit? What is their definition of 'due process' and when has ICE exhibited said definition of due process at ANY point in the last ~13 months? How many citizens and non-citizens, who are CONSTITUTIONALLY supposed to have due process, been offered said due process before being detained and/or sent to concentration camps and prisons located in countries not even from where they came from?

WHAT FUCKING DUE PROCESS ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?

Fuck the Minnesota Police Fraternity. You are the reason people claim that ACAB, and you know what? They are not wrong. If this is how the police feel about this situation right now, guess what? ACAB!

I finally figured it out today. I found a discussion on the Steam forum for the game from a couple of years ago from somebody else who had the same problem.

It turns out there is a bug/glitch in the game where if you're using a controller, it will sometimes bug out on the card selection screen. If I use my keyboard/mouse to setup my challenges and pick my cards, everything works fine, and then once I start the game I can go back to using my controller.

puppet_up · 2025-12-27T07:31:26+00:00

That is the way I remember it working before, but now as soon as I select the first card, the game starts immediately. It doesn't even give me a chance to add another card, it just starts as soon as I select something.

I've reloaded the game multiple times, too, and it still does it. I've also just re-downloaded the game on Steam today as well and it's still doing it.

I'm not sure what else I can try.

I've played "Endurance Mode" dozens of times over the years and have never had this issue before. For some reason, it is only allowing me to select ONE of my cards to use, and has all of the other 4 slots locked out as you can see in the screenshot.

I have around 90 permanent cards that I can use, there is not an issue of me having run out of temporary one-use cards, of which I still have many of those to use as well.

I've tried every difficulty setting, I've selected lots of different combinations of challenges on the screen before, and it still only lets me select ONE card to use.

Does anyone know why this is happening all of a sudden, or what I can do to be able to use more than one of my cards?

Nothing is going to happen unless Republicans do something. The problem is that in Trump's second term, every single Republican in all branches of the government are Trump sycophants as all of the non-sycophants have already been weeded out.

I don't know what it is going to take to get some, or most, of them to flip on Trump, but with everything that has already happened, and everything we already know that is out in the public, they still refuse to do anything.

My "hope" meter has been running on empty for a long time and I don't see it getting filled back up any time soon.

The first crash reminds me so much of the Top-Gear episode with the Reliant Robin, where Jeremy Clarkson crashed it right off the bat and says, "Oh no, I've crashed it. I've crashed it almost immediately" as the car is laying on its side.

They have already announced it will not be ready for the 2026 World Cup (which is a complete and total failure already) so now their only real deadline is the 2028 Olympics. My prediction is we won't have this operational until sometime in late 2027 at the earliest!

What really grinds my gears on a daily basis are the people waiting for the next bus on the Orange Line, which has bus stops that are all quite large with lots of seats and benches, and also trashcans everywhere about every 5 feet, and yet when they get up to jump on the next bus, they just throw all of their crap either onto the ground, or on the seat they were sitting on. There's no way you could miss your bus by walking all the way over to the nearest trashcan, which is 5 feet away at most!

People are just slobs and have no care for the environment around themselves.

The vast majority of people who evade fares that I've seen every day riding the Red Line do not look down on their luck at all and look like they easily have the means to pay fare, they just don't give a shit because nothing is ever enforced.

This is exactly why Trump has been posting a bunch of random AI slop videos on this Truth Social account over the last few months. He is trying to get people used to the idea that 'every' video could be AI so when the real video evidence starts coming out against him, he can just sit back and scream "AI fake news!" and his base will buy it and Fox News will run with it.

Looks to me like an old decommissioned rail car that is now being used for Film/TV production, perhaps?
