This is an absolute nightmare scenario

Disco Elysium shattered me half a dozen times. Two moments in particular made me step away from my desk and go on a walk. It’s the best-written game I’ve ever played.

Firewatch. Gorgeous, emotionally honest game that wrings you out.

Inside. More of a stressful, cathartic cry, but it applies.

Mass Effect 3 - but only if you play the first two. Incredible story that beats you over the head with yearning .

I’ve had a cough for the last two months that’s given me a hernia. Can’t go to the doctor. It’s fun here.

This is exquisite

Yes.

It’s nice to post in a place that has enthusiasm, rather than a place that’s become a rote content-mill

good for you!

all of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again

unbridled aggression

Hell yeah, thanks

Right here: I Made This

This episode was fantastic. Christina Chong’s performance hit me in a way that a Trek performance hasn’t since Connor Trinneer at the end of Terra Prime.

Okay, I’ll give you Code of Honor.

As a purist, I’d say watch them all and in release order, but if you really have to be choosy with your time, here’s a list of things you can skip (in my opinion):

• Star Trek Into Darkness
• Discovery (whole show)
• Picard S1 and S2
• Short Treks

I know suggesting skipping Discovery outright is going to be seen as… extreme, but I suggest doing so only if time is a crucial factor. It’s a dizzyingly uneven show with the lowest points of quality in all of Trek. However, it also has some incredible highs and some truly great characters, so if you find the time to watch it, you should. And I know I’m in the minority on this, but I found Short Treks to be unwatchable.

On the flip side, Lower Decks is incredible, and Strange New Worlds is good. The third season of Picard is excellent. Prodigy is a little weird but it’s got a lot of strength. Star Trek Beyond is also a surprisingly good movie.

it’s so weird, the lemmy.world instances aren’t showing up for me in my searches. Maybe it’s a server thing

Thanks - how do I actually access that? When I copy that into the community search, nothing comes up except for your comment, and it’s not showing up in google

This is such a uniquely bizarre bummer. WHY would they remove the show from the platform? I seriously don’t understand that at all. Cancelling it, while a terrible move, at least has some potentially extant reasons - but it’s literally a new Star Trek show and they’re removing it from Star Trek’s home? I seriously don’t get it!

This is a pretty dogshit take, homie.

Agreed
