Our group played this system for a short bit. We loved the social combat system and the pooled resources. A good DM can absolutely make it feel like a Star Trek episode. Our problem with the system, is that you have to play the lawfull good guys for it to work well; just like a Star Trek episode. Our group likes to play morally grey.
Jup. They do that. After an edition of the challenge where someone fainted and crashed due to the heat, they also added regulations for airflow. It might be hot outside-air, but that is still way better than inside-over air.
Europa Universalis IV and Stellaris. For exactly the same reasons.
I spend way too much time in those games. Hundreds of hours each. But the end game is just too much of a slog. You already won, so there is no challenge; the framerate tanks into unplayable territory; and the micromanagement to manage the late game wars and economy becomes insane.
But starting with a different empire, and doing early/mid game again is awsome!
I already saw this happening on Reddit. The largest subreddit were filled with generic posts. They got a lot of content, not necessarily good content. But there were plenty of small or medium sized subreddits that had much better content. The Fediverse feels like it is missing the big subreddits. It also feels too small to have the small niche subreddits. What is here in terms of content feels more like a few medium sized subreddits.
That would be like Mickey Mouse having a pet mouse, or Donald Duck feeding the ducks in the park, or Goofy having a pet dog named Pluto.
Awww mannn. Stupid rules.
All those faces judging their peer scream: You filty human-attention seeking whore! Why are you not up here, with us, judging the lowly humans from up top, huh?
I thought ghost busting was Beverly’s thing?
I used to put that one in the same category as the man-in-suit gorn from TOS: budget/tech restrictions. But even in the latest SNW episode, we see someone waking up on a piece of wreckage with gravity still perfectly fine, while also getting several zero gravity scenes in the same episode.
It’s not all news and tech! Lemmy hosts the most extensive collection of Star Trek memes I have ever seen on https://startrek.website/c/risa
That’s a whole new level of poop knife.
Somehow I’m ok with the writers not finding a lore explenation for that problem. I don’t really want to know how every single alien wipes its ass.
But where and when is the crew supposed to go then? I don’t remember a single episode where someone mentioned they were off to drop some logs.
Heck, imagine being a species that does this the normal way, dropping that unit like a real warrior. Not getting those breaks will put a constipated look on your face all the time!
The peak linux experience.
If you want to play animal crossing, but only have a PC: try Dinkum. Same gameplay loop, but with a few minor twists and turns. And the setting is Australia. Hence you ride your mu around town, shearing the wool of your pleeps and milking your vombats. Ofcourse you need to defend them from crocos and fire spitting bush devils. But anything you kill can be thrown on the BBQ. And to get rich, you start a fairy bread empire. Exporting millions worth of sugary goodness.
I agree that the ‘unjust’ part is implied here. However, it is certainly not part of any textbook definition of discrimination.
Because the ‘unjust’ part is implied so often, people have started to change the meaning of the word discrimination. I think that is quite dangerous, given how essential the word is in various constitutions and laws.
Based on screenshots and the publisher, it is safe to say that they are using the Stellaris engine for this. Which does not really have traditional turns. Think RTS with lots of pauzing. The engine is also capable of exploding planets already.
Not without special support from the hardware and software. But a smartphone is pretty much a PC with specialized hardware and software. And you can certainly plug your smartphone into a PC to share photo’s.
What exactly is the threat?
If I read the article correctly, the CEO’s statement is effectively saying that employees who refuse to work according to the companies policy, may be fired.
While I agree that it is bad policy, I don’t see how this is unlawful policy, nor do I see how enforcing the policy is a threat.
Making an actual episode where there is a race that talks like this would be the perfect way to kill it off. Just imagine Picard attempting to communicate with this race in their own language. No kid will survive the cringe.
