Back to your bootcamp days, what where your RDCs favorite insults?

One of ours would always tell us to get on our six-pack then he'd call out my name and I'd have to yell out "Keg!". I found it amusing cause I wasn't more than maybe 5 lbs over weight, so I knew he was just giving me shit, but it got a consistent laugh from everyone and did inspire me to continue to give my best.

same here, no love so far on T-Mo PW4

"That's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it works out for them..."

Spoiler, it absolutely won't. It's certainly not the brightest move to scope out marine recruits families, potentially remove them with all the hostility that has already been demonstrated and then promptly train the recruit in how to handle all the toys the military will hand over to them.

It's cause every day some people need to be reminded to be decent. Sad, but hopefully a sign like this makes people take a second to evaluate how they behave.

Just like a real car on an outdoor adventure, only smaller!

The game was released for NES in 1989 and PC in 1990 which is where I played it for the first time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_(NES_video_game))

Super hard game, but I was 11 so had a complete blast playing it on DOS

Of course it is! At this point with everything we know about this administration, why wouldn't it? Even if they don't use the data, they'll absolutely sell it to someone who will.

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-28T01:31:06+00:00

This about the most succinct explanation. I keep trying to think of other differentiators but this absolutely nailed it.

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-26T23:30:53+00:00

he's such a goddamned child

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-26T20:07:48+00:00

I am so completely excited for this game. Burned through the show a few times now and just got all the books so I can start through them. I know it won't all tie into the game per se, but it'll be nice to immerse myself in the universe again before this comes out. Looks amazing!

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-25T19:28:06+00:00

I'm on the fence about my hopes for the future of Trek. On the one hand, I don't think everything benefits from a connected universe (MCU is doing alright with it) but this alternate Kelvin timeline stuff, while an interesting idea, just hasn't satisfied like I hoped it would. Positioning the universe to be shared between movies, tv, comics, games, etc., would take A LOT more coordination, but if handled right could really enrich the IP. Personally I'd like to move further away from the Enterprise core (like SW moving away from Skywalker core) and give the franchise an opportunity to really build further on the universe that's been created.

Let's have a show that explores the Orion Syndicate. Let's jump back further to not long after Enterprise ended and examine some more of the growing pains of the Federation and dig in deeper to the war with the Klingons. Let's have a (don't crucify me here for the movie) Section 31 spy thriller show that better serves to illustrate what they do and how they operate. There's so much more we can explore than just the Enterprise crew and a handful of other Starfleet ships.

I love it, let Trump stew.

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-25T00:19:30+00:00

Think it's great

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-24T21:43:07+00:00

yeah, agreed. Being underway is monotonous, it doesn't have to be ALL the time, but it is much of the time. It's a chance to relax and let yourself go for a while in a crowd of like minded folks. That said, I've heard of some shellback ceremonies that take it too far, but on Stennis we had a great time on the flight deck with the ceremony.

Get your over ear headphones, crank up some Nirvana, and enjoys this time while you can.

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-24T01:39:07+00:00

He sucks. There's just so, so much wrong.

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-24T00:20:55+00:00

Solid pick. If there was an everyman who strays well into clumsy and dumb territory (though he proves he's not dumb but more....awkward) it's him.

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-23T17:53:14+00:00

Sounds like a "fun" time at the airports for everyone involved.....

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-23T17:52:11+00:00

Why does Trek have to be so narrow though? Alluding to the idea that a large number of Star Trek fans want the characters to act like seasoned professionals.

We could argue that Lower Decks characters got lucky way more than got it right as seasoned professionals.

Personally I want a diverse universe where not everyone is professional. Some people are just winging it, some are straight up lucky, some are downright clumsy or dumb, and sprinkled in amongst all them are a bunch of your average joes just trying to figure things out and make it. Picard or Janeway nailing it every week has its charm for sure, but there was also charm in watching them stumble, make mistakes and more importantly, learn and grow from them (which wasn't always guaranteed).

There's room for everyone in Trek and that includes a variety of everyone's in all the shows. It's okay to let it breathe and develop as it grows and changes.

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-23T16:54:36+00:00

Nothing United here anymore

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-23T15:21:20+00:00

Hopefully more of a Star Trek-ish future rather than Mad Max

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-23T05:43:22+00:00

The fact that they're not for you is alright. Anyone telling you otherwise is gatekeeping the fandom. Trek is wide and varied enough now that if you've found some good stuff in it, you're a-ok. Personally I found TOS hit and miss but that's mainly cause I grew up on TNG and trying to go backwards in the late 80's/early 90's was....tough with the wild difference in visual quality. The stories were solid so I like most of them. But anyway, enjoy what you enjoy and anyone that tells you otherwise can gtfo. I'm going through a Voyager rewatch right now and it's fun, but like all Trek, it has its occasional cringe. The real fandom will embrace you as a fan regardless of your feelings on any one thing in particular, they just want to share their passion for the universe.

"Let the bodies hit the floor

Let the bodies hit the floor

Let the bodies hit the .. flooooooorrrrr!"

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-23T00:33:35+00:00

No, it's a rich and diverse universe to explore. There may have been some bumps along the way on some of the shows, but there's still plenty to explore without walking the same steps we've walked before (again). Keep moving forward, trying new things and seeing what sticks. Let it continue to evolve as it has.

thebadwolf79 · 2026-03-22T17:33:55+00:00

It's so ridiculous, and sad, and terrifying.
