“That’s fucked up. Like, we all know that obviously fatsos are universally fucking ugly but I didn’t think it would have such an impact”.

How a thing talking about weight immediately switched to being about attractiveness. That is fucked up indeed.

When the game is described as a frustrating, unfair, exhausting experience, yeah, it ends up being “experiencing psychological pain = experiencing physical pain” which is exactly the parallel I was making, yes.

Hard is very different from unfair, and not knowing the difference shows a lack of understanding of game design.

“Let me introduce this game called ‘hitting your head with a hammer’. Now, you might wonder why you would want to do that, so let me explain to you how you can convince yourself that it’s enjoyable”

This is how an update news should be done. Summarize the software, include the changelog.

There’s a lot of shit writing in all the star treks (less so in lower decks maybe) but discovery is consistently, deeply badly written, and in ways that often have a pretty bad underlying meaning.

And also, people complain on Discovery for different reasons. Nazis find it too woke because they don’t pretend that lgbt people don’t exist, I find it fakely woke but actually discriminating against minorities while pretending to defend them.

In a way, Discovery is a shittily written, enlightened-centrist version of star trek, so I think it’s good that people shit on it. Now people should obviously shit on a lot of other star treks like Enterprise and Picard, but I’m certainly not going to stop shitting on discovery in the meanwhile.

It feels a bit pulled out of nowhere though. If it was the plan from the start, it’s not very good writing.

The red angel, who is supposed to be either Burnham or her mother, and neither of them had a reason to go back in time to save a random church, and teleport it to a random planet. Also absolutely no mention of how they would achieve such a thing.

I mean, they were still trying to show it as James Bond-cool (which I mean, works if you see that James Bond is pretty problematic, but most people don’t)… They were shown as a bit evil, but also as the “cool, edgy dudes that do what needs to be done”, but other shows managed to do worse somehow.

Let’s not forget the part where they want to go in the future to stop control because they think they can’t destroy it, then control gets destroyed, then they go in the future anyway.

Also, I don’t think any star trek depicted section 31 in a way that didn’t make the show worse, but Discovery really went the extra mile

The church in Discovery.

I am convinced that they put it there without having an explanation yet, then forgot they did it when they made the explanation.

I used vecto3d, but it was just to visualize something quickly so I have no idea how the STL export is.
