I’ll have to check it out. It’s never really occurred to me before that there could be plugins to add additional functionality.

What steam really needs is a “I found the game you’re searching for, but I’m pretty certain you actually mean this other game with a very similar name and that’s actually popular” feature. They can call it The Outer Wilds feature. I was trying to get my friends to download it so we could talk about it, and he kept telling me about this RPG it kept coming up with.

Do people actually browse steam via web browser? I just use the actual steam storefront app since I’m going to be in it anyway when I play the game.

You might as well just write it in Singlish. It’s not a real language so it would be difficult to write a technical paper. What is Esperanto for hydrodynamics?

I’m just imagining the scammers losing their minds trying to get my parents to install steam so they can buy gift cards.

If my mother is not receiving a constant stream of instruction she’ll get bored and start clicking on random buttons. There’s a reason that all my text messages for her are full of random emojis and gifs that she’s accidentally added

Yeah when I worked at Apple I got so sick of trying to explain to people that the American IRS are not going to sue them for $100,000 if they don’t give them some Apple gift cards.

I also at the Apple gift cards were especially funny because they were for such low denominations

It’s getting as bad as picking a Linux kernel. No matter what you pick, there’s always something wrong with it.

Because the franchise wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for my preferences you pathologically obnoxious twit. I mean seriously do you actually think that anyone outside of the fandom cares about what happens here?

Our opinions are the only valid opinions and if you disagree with those opinions then that’s entirely your problem.

I think people don’t like the direction that they’re taking Star Trek in general. It was one of the few science fiction shows which was actually hopeful about the future, but the writers have decided that they can’t think of creative ways to go in that direction so they’re going to blow everything up.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it made some kind of logical sense, but they just had everything destroyed for hand wavy reasons without any basis in canon.

So, to all the outspoken trolls and haters out there, a huge Fuck You for sabotaging the entire franchise.

Surely it was the writers who sabotaged the show by producing this instead of literally anything else.

At least he weren’t trying to show teenage drama down my throat.

What I want to know is what market research they did to come to the conclusion that this would be positively received, who was the show aimed at, because it certainly isn’t Star Trek fans.

Not just because they’re new though. But because they’re badly written.

The reason people like lower deck so much is because it was obviously written by an actual Star Trek fan rather than someone trying to write generic science fiction and then slap a Star Trek aesthetic on top. Which was what discovery was like in the early days.

Oh come on it’s not that people hate new Star Trek shows it’s that they hate badly written Star Trek shows. There’s plenty of examples of Star Trek shows that people love.
