You… You think the slop we have now is “the best Trek of the decade”? Well then, that tells me everything I need to know.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody.

Except for the suppression. I’m not confusing the one with the other. I’m calling it NuTrek bullshit. The Romulans simply aren’t able. The Federation has some of the brightest minds in the alpha quadrant, largely due to being such a diverse collection of ideas, and even the smartest minds in the Federation could not replicate the work of Dr. Soong without reverse engineering Data himself, something that was the key point of the episode Measure of a Man.

Only if you want to regard one of the worse NuTrek series as canon.

In TNG Data is known about in both the Klingon and Romulan empire, and throughout TNG the impression that Dr. Soong was a genius who’s work is nearly impossible to replicate was really high. So the Romulan just couldn’t make someone like Data.

If only that currency wasn’t rife with techbros, scammers, and techbro scammers.

I’ll try and find them, but first I heard from it was from Jim Stirling. “The Jimquisition” on YouTube, I think. Haven’t kept up with that guy in years.

They’re the same thing. “Live service” is how Activision-Blizzard rebranded games that required to be always online. They also solidified the outline of things publishers at the time were already doing with their always online games, such as endless content players will have to buy.

Those documents leaked many years ago, and soon after that the moniker was changed from “always online” to “Live Service”.

“Live service” is a game that has an always online requirement. Just getting updates on the regular doesn’t make it a live service if the game works just fine without an Internet connection.

Single player Ubisoft games are all “live services”, due to some of them needing a constant connection to Ubisoft’s servers, and them having in-game shops that only work while online.

So far Warframe has been the ONLY example of a good live service game. It’s the OG when it comes to the model, but it’s also the exception, and not the rule.

Good riddance. Seems like Sony got the message; we’re sick of everything being a “live service”.

You don’t say, Nintendo. Pretty sure they’re also using open source emulators, from the developers they really hate, to run their older titles.

“Wie de schoen past trekt 'em aan.”

If you feel spoken to by this comic then maybe you got a problem…

This is fucked up. I love it. XD

Larian are good developers. BG3 is a finished game with more potential and replayability that anything else. Let these guys cook.

Well, good thing this comic isn’t talking about blocking out all light to one eye. Why would you want to watch a movie with one eye blocked anyway? Sounds horrible.

What is this esoteric talk about “energy”?

Last I checked most of the biggest corpos are still run by men from the last generations, with current generations still waiting around for them to die off and take their places. So the only thing Zuckerberg could be talking about is the soulless DEI tokenism corpos do to get public brownie points.

No, not really. That’s where all the pineapple pizza people go (god, being Italian, takes Italian food very seriously).

Besides, they only built a highway there. I prefer public transport. Tell me when they built a high speed rail and I might be interested.

Windows has 100% support for Windows. I mean, yeah?

I don’t see Windows supporting Linux programs. Or Apple programs.

It’s a bad argument.

Not as cringe as someone who likes pineapple on pizza.

Is this a recent picture? Because I’m pretty sure he’s back on YouTube talking shit like an edgy 13 year old…
