At least Justinian was on the right track when he wrote that slavery is wrong when he rewrote the laws on slavery.

1. Freedom, from which men are said to be free, is the natural power of doing what we each please, unless prevented by force or by law.

2. Slavery is an institution of the law of nations, by which one man is made the property of another, contrary to natural right.

So close yet so far away haha

Haha that's me. I wasn’t at all interested in dying over and over and I only tried it to prove I was right.

But damn it’s a full spectrum experience, especially all the dirty and cheap stuff that other games are afraid to do (TWO grafted scions on the ceiling!?) makes the victories all the sweeter.

Bart had me going in the first half NGL

Diogenes on being hungry 👌

If only it was as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly as it is to masturbate.

Sounds kinda based to me

This statement is something that I dont understand

I’ll try to help fam. The hungry deserve to eat and they have the moral high ground over the ownership class that would rather that person starve and the food they stole destroyed.

Gonna agree with you for opposite reasons. The combat in the postgame dungeon, Costlemark I think. The one where you can’t use any healing items, it was a worthy challenge.

The other postgame dungeon, the platforming one was, was way better than many final fantasy challenges like jumping rope and dodging lighting.

Special mention for the incredible soundtrack, the Matoya’s Cave remix especially.

But ya everything before the postgame, the umm main game I guess, was ridiculously short. Imagine FFIV ending when you drill into the underworld, or FFVI ending when the the world breaks, that’s what the story in FF15 feels like. As soon as you depart to the next continent you get rug pulled by a time jump that takes you to the final boss 🫠

Xbox was so great when it launched. Thanks for bringing us decent length controller cables, hard drives, and Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay 👌

Nowadays, uhh thanks for making an unnecessary media center I guess 🤷‍♀️

The steam discussions are as spirited and divisive as I expected lol.

Too many problems that show it's wearing a skin suit like a serial killer pretending to be your neighbor to be invited inside the house. It's simply not Trek.

1. Resource bottlenecks - Not a thing in Trek.
2. Crew Morale / Hunger - Not a thing.
3. Logistics and transport - Not a thing.
4. The "drop" system is borderline P2W mechanics manifest.

The mediocrity as I understand was from the rift that developed in the team about the vision of the game being a sandbox vs a campaign.

However, I witnessed a new divide among the team which was less well-known; as more core game developers (such as myself) were recruited to help finish the game, a cultural gap emerged between the newer ‘gameplay’ team and the older ‘Sim’ team. The former group (which went on to spearhead Darkspore) was primarily concerned with how Spore played as a game. Were the mechanics engaging? Did the player’s choices matter? Was the game replayable? In contrast, the ‘Sim’ team carried the traditional Maxis DNA and was more comfortable with Spore as a toy box. Could the players express themselves? Was sharing one’s creations with other players meaningful? Did the game spark the imagination?

These cultural divides ruined Spore’s chances to be a focused, cohesive experience.

I can’t wait to spend that much for the “burning pile of post-scarcity money” card from Lower Decks s5e2

All things considered, he succeeded in his goals.

The concrete plant was under insured and so his “rival” that owned it ended up eating a few hundred thousand dollars in damages.

Still a complete lunatic, but a competent one as well.

Thanks fam, looking forward to watching it.

Can't forget mothballing the entire navy and banning the printing press 👌

Source: one time a Turkish guy I worked with explained the fall of the empire. He blamed it on rejecting technology 🤷‍♀️

I love this meme. There's one I saw once where he's trying to explain why he blasted those parasite badmirals. Wish I saved it at the time.

I had no idea they were related, but apparently they were (thanks 😉). But that too was soon retconned:

According to comments by Michael and Denise Okuda, when mentioning of the speed limit was abandoned a few years after "Force of Nature", it was assumed that newer ships, such as the USS Voyager and USS Defiant, had improved environmentally friendly warp drive systems, that did not cause damage to the spatial continuum.

Warp 10 and salamanders. Great examples 👌

But what about TNG 7x09, the one where we learn that warp travel damages subspace and that a warp speed limit is the solution?

Later, the Federation Council issues a new directive limiting all Federation vessels to a speed of warp five except in extreme emergencies.

Reminds me of this

Starships were meant to fly

My wife (and probably many others) disagrees, but I'm firmly of the opinion that Starships by Nicki Minaj is an uncertified trek banger 🙌

Harbinger is the worst episode of ENT. The captain and the alien of the week are maybe 6 minutes of the episode. The rest is a bunch of bullshit with resolving the conflicts in the crew that had been brewing all season.

Only saving grace is the fight scene, but then the macho American space marine gets schooled by lieutenant mister bean? Lolwut

What the hell do they think this is, Hamlet, Gone With the Wind, Ruggles of Red Gap? It’s a goddamned space western, aliens in rubber masks, you know the drill!
