The cutest Metroid ever!

The DS9 episode was handled with such dignity, but the Voyager episode was a fever dream and I am absolutely here for it!

After 3 seasons, it’s surprising to finally have a voice actor for Westlake.

I didn’t know I needed Clarinet Macro Viruses and assimilated Salamander Automatons at the helm, but my gosh did the LD team deliver!

I wonder if the promotion rollout explains why marketing for this season was so sparse.

I LOVED Shaxs talking about his relationship issues with Ransom and the fourth wall lean on the tubes was perfection.

For whatever reason, the big car sites don’t list the range, so that’s a bummer.

But if you’re looking at new, and especially in the 2-3 year range that shouldn’t be nearly the issue it currently is.

Watch to the end. It has some new stuff. I admit I was misled at the beginning as well.

I think it also helped that we got more character out of Ortegas than we did in "Among the Lotus Eaters" which she dominated the B plot. The cast was all used well.

I’m somehow surprised and yet not that there’s going to be a CYOA type story. I mean, I’m very surprised it’s a thing, but I’m not surprised that Ryan North is attached to it. I highly recommend reading Romeo and/or Juliet. It’s hilarious and absolutely worth reading.

And the pew pews!

The Florida Department of Education says the new standards don’t teach that slavery was beneficial.

However, one of the benchmarks (SS.68.AA.2.3) states students will be taught, “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

Either this is some very unfortunate phrasing for establishing that people like Phillis Wheatley are required material (and even then it was less ‘thanks to’ and more ‘in spite of’) or something more nefarious is afoot.

I’d argue that Famitsu used to be a notoriously hard reviewer… but with the online age that reputation has more or less dissolved. Perfect scores are significantly more common than they used to be.

TBH, I find it somewhat silly both that there's a reboot, since the previous games have had next to no story, and that there's backlash over it… since there's next to no story.

Okay, but realistically, how can we prevent this from happening in the future?

We’ve already, according to the article, dodged one bullet; but there’s no reason to expect that it’ll be the only one.

Also, due to the nature of the Fediverse being open source, there’s no way to prevent Facebook or other corporate monstrosities from building their own hooks.

I think we need to be prepared to preemptively defederate from the likes of Google, Reddit, Facebook or whatever. Not just this instance, but the greater Fediverse should have a United policy to reject association with those who would consume us and spit us out.

TBH, I think the Startrek Community has the right idea.

I believe Lemmy instances should treat themselves like ye olde message boards. Have a specific interest and accommodate it. So a Star Wars instance, a Marvel Instance, a DIY instance etc… They should act like message boards, but with the key advantage of linking up with the greater federation.

Things like geography aren't very conducive to finding content you're interested in.
