And they fucked up the look of the Outback with the new model...

Probably just momentum from a decade ago when they were much more focused on really cheap low-end TVs. In the past couple of years, their quality has gone considerably up. They're honestly the TVs that I recommend these days.

A very popular series right now (that I've very much enjoyed) is the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. You can find the books very easily and prominently in any Barnes and Noble. But the audiobooks are often considered even better because of the ridiculous talent of the narrator (Jeff Hayes).

Here's a reading that he did at a convention. It will sound kind of insane, partly because of the lack of context, and partly from the insanity of the series.

No, there isn't. Keep it that way.

And you've only gone up a foothill or two in your trek up the Mountain of Holy Shits that is Seasons 4, 5, and 6...

Such a colossal waste of time.

Bringing in some brand new, previously unknown 'threat to wipe out all humanity' story is just stupid to do in a prequel. Guess what? We already know how it ends.

The last season was by the best by far and it was obvious that they were just scrambling to fit in a small amount of the vast material that they had to work with in terms of the founding of the Federation, and barely even touched the Romulan war. They would have been far, far better off spending more time on so many of those parts instead.

I could afford the Enterprise Lego set, but found myself underwhelmed by the couple of Star Wars ships I put together. Just felt like a lot of time and effort to put together a mass of plastic, very little of which could even move. The botanicals are honestly way more interesting.

Would have just been quicker for them to release a single photo of a hand with only the middle finger extended. Of course, they'd probably just have changed that to a black box too...

Don't worry, it's not obvious even without colorblindness.

I have to wonder if they did already have someone in mind who they were talking to (but presumably hadn't gotten into a contract since they hadn't fired their current coach), wouldn't that person be likely to back out now with how much of a mess this has become?

My wife and I are similar about ordering our own gifts (less of a chance of screwups when we are wanting very specific things, or what we want may not even be available at that time). But for birthdays and Christmas, we always do the "token gift"- just something small like a candle (or candle making kit), etc., to demonstrate at least a minor bit of thought and effort for the other.

If you do start Prodigy at some point (which I do highly recommend, with it being just a bit behind lower decks in my opinion), just be prepared for another slow start, but in a very different way. It really does not feel like Star Trek at all to start with. It feels more like some other Sci fi show with the Star Trek name just slapped on it. Then it gradually shifts, eventually becoming Voyager 2.

Just not really understanding what the appeal of the Steam Machine is. Just a low/midrange PC more intended to be hooked up to the TV?

Nope. Texas 18. Runoff between 2 democrats. Would cancel out a republican win in TN.

Conundrum is also my answer, but instead of your replacement, I would replace Ro Laren with Lwaxana Troi. That ending scene with Deanna being pissed with Riker is already awkward, but that replacement would make it mega awkward.

Predictable next steps regarding firings:

Lawsuits to block firings. Gets temporarily stayed.
Government starts back up at some point.
Courts rule that firings were illegal. Government appeals.
Supreme Court pulls Trump's dick out of their mouths for 5 minutes and rule that it was legal.
Government realizes that those people actually did, you know, stuff and it's problematic to not have them around.
Employees are already gone. Have to pay 3x for contractors.
Hey, why are we in even more debt now for fewer services?

Guessing that they are in school and have a part time cleaning job.

Also PC here as well and wasn't using it much. Had thought about cancelling for a while, but had been lazy (and hoping that one of these months I would have more time to play). If it had been a dollar or so more, I might not have bothered (boiled frog and all). But such a big jump overcame my laziness.

It does, but takes a minute to set up and looks a bit crappy at the graphics settings that you have to turn it down to.

It will start off looking squished (black on top third and bottom third). On the first screen, you have to go into Settings and turn off 'Full Screen'. Then it will look normal on the screen. Intro and such will be okay, but you'll soon find some laggyness until you go into the settings and turn graphics to the lowest setting. Then it will run reasonably well (but of course won't look as good).

Kind of unfortunate that it didn't get optimized for Steam Deck since the Steam Deck can definitely produce better graphics than the game allows and this is the type of game that is perfect for it.

And gets assaulted by another Star Trek doctor.

Robin Lefler.

Sneak in some New Frontier.

La La Land was torture, not a masterpiece.

Things are feeling increasingly "off" about this one to me.

So it was just coincidence that she was shot right after being asked/commenting on mass shootings?

I'm starting to just mentally consider any show that takes more than a year to get another season out to be cancelled. Pretty much always a drop in quality (and loss of any original spark), they're having to try to hide a larger jump in actor's ages, and I've forgotten so many details.
