  I overall loved the choice to use it and orchestral arrangement especially, really got my attention after all the action and made me lean in to the moment and the show. What I didn’t love was Rufus Wainright’s overly syrup-y vocals. Really would have preferred the original remixed with the orchestral arrangement.

  That said, I do wonder if over time this is going to grow on me and become another Faith of the Heart. 😁

  Totally! I haven’t loved the post-Burn setting but the way this show is already contextualizing it, and the optimism it’s doing it with is already starting to change my mind.

  And it’s even carrying over being the shoes into real life, which is one of the things I love most about Trek and its good to have this out there. There’s some nitpicks, as there always are, but so far I can deal with them, especially if it stays consistent. 🖖

  I wasn’t aware of the Stellaris mods at the time I grabbed Infinite, but I have to say that I honestly don’t mind dipping into it from time to time. I guess there’s bugs and balance issues and whatever but apparently I’m basic enough that I haven’t noticed. It getting abandoned does make me quite angry though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I started keeping a Note on my phone titled Game Diary with different sections for games I’m playing, and write down what I was doing, my train of thought and what I wanted to do next, things I had to check on our fix etc, at the time I put it down. It’s helped immensely when I come back to something after a while and encounter exactly what you’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s common for terrible acts to go unpunished. There are lots of movies and shows where the bad guy wins. Many where you can’t even tell who the bad guy is. But they’re still good stories.

  That’s kind of my point though, the show failed to make any statement about it, including this one. In fact, what you say here would have been an exceptional statement to make, especially considering the post-9/11 backdrop of this season’s arc. Instead they were just like, “ANYWAY, time for some timetravel shenanigans” or whatever the next season was doing, I don’t recall. That absence of comment is the failure the show makes is what I’m really saying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the character decisions were motivated, intentionally difficult to wrestle with and especially relevant for the time it was made. I think what makes the show unforgivable for it however, is the complete lack of consequences for those transgressions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Achievements 100%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No no no. No one should ever watch the remakes. The OG show and End of Eva movie, while not perfect, are an extraordinary and focused (again, with a few exceptions and missteps along the way) artistic expression from a soul in pain trying to understand and work through their traumas, the kind of exercise that some of the best art comes from.

  The remakes are nonsensical meta garbage about Anno (the artist in question) trying to leave behind this behemoth IP empire that accidentally created and desperately wants to be free of, to the point that he couldn’t even finish the damn things himself.

  While I appreciate the sentiment, I truly regret the time I spent watching the remakes.

  Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens.

  Lots of great advice here but this stands out as a really good bit that a lot of people (including myself) need to consider.

  Weekend proooojeeeeeect! 🎵

  Anyone know what the reaction screenshot is from?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Readdeck vs Wallabag?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was really enjoying wallabag for a while, but after an update (or something?) the container no longer connects to the db and I haven’t been smart enough to figure out why yet.

  BUT when it works it’s got a nice interface and the Firefox extension clips articles quickly. Biggest downside I’ve run into is the iOS app can’t make highlights or annotations, and it sometimes randomly reloads an article while reading and ‘forgets’ its place.

  Oh snap, I didn’t know that! Excited!!

  Dude when this was included in PS Plus I got fucking consumed by this game! It’s beautiful and brutal and relaxing all at the same time. I would play a Hawaiian playlist on the Spotify all while playing and it was supremely chill… until I died from shark or diarrhea. Like I say, an interesting cocktail of stress and relaxation. Happy to see it getting some love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously! I’m absolutely baffled by the comments here talking about how analog clocks are somehow this bizarre anarchism from the distant past that is just sooooooo difficult to understand. Wtf has been going on over there??

  Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).

  God, I love these posts.

  This post is pure unfiltered 100% awesome! I find I’m frequently having anxiety attacks these days because of… <gestures at everything>, but reading this massive in-depth writeup, just letting me soak in a hobby I love but don’t have much time for as I’d like, has relaxed me more than anything has in months. Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in the future!

  Same! Even though I’m not excited about this timeframe in the Trek universe, I just became exponentially more excited knowing she’s involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who says S31 gets to have all the fun?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what bothered me the most. Like okay, in the moment you gotta make a shitty call, I get it. But then never going back to make it right? What the hell is that? That could made a great ep in itself, where you have to deal with the price you paid in order to win.

  But nothing, not even a throwaway line. Ugh.

  Damn I just randomly selected a Voyager ep last night and it was the one where he was a Hirofen hunting a stranded Species 8472. Then I see this today. 😢

  Even in full makeup and under a mask the man was a goddamn imposing presence. You will be missed, sir! 🫡
