  • Don’t worry about it, like in my edit there is a lot going on the macro scale and i can imagine anyone that enjoys star trek is feeling the strain (streign?).

    yeah i know the Kelvins are movies and you gotta give it more lax because movies need to hit wider audiences to justify the large budgets, that being said a low budget movie made by A24 in the trek universe would be something might actually go to the cinema to go see.

    I feel the end of one is misguided because the AI hole monster is still like a thing? i mean i’m not going to lie the picard gollum lives rent free in my brain so when i try to remember what happened to the AI Tenticles from another dimension I think they just closed it but i feel like that still could be an issue, felt like dealing with the symptoms not the root issue? Also yeah the terrible CGI ships don’t help me remember that ending.

    I would argue there is something very toxic about the borg queen & Jurati’s relationship but we know very little so i may be just imprinting bad experiences with codependcy. But season 2 is time travel so its like did all that version of the borg already exist or was it different and then i have to stop thinking cause at this point i think time travel in Star trek is only damaging things, though it’s like pandora’s box, you can’t close it now. Season 2 also hits hard because some of the subject matter follows a pattern of irl things happening in my childhood & i think it was mishandled in that season. like as a kid watching trek i’d clung onto the thought that if i’d been around in trek times things may have played out different cause we were better as a whole but season 2 kinda poorly inserted that but again i may be marred by my own experiences?









  • I had such high hopes for starbound but it just kept falling short through development to its current release.

    I got in on the crowdfunding they did on their own website & enjoyed the idea of the road map they laid out. Unfortunately one thing that became apparent fast through development was how much they wanted to distance themselves away from terraria, to the point it felt they took worse development paths if it meant they achieved this.

    I had a lot of fun with the first version of the game which was a lot more aggressive with the survival, heat & food & drink mechanics but I understood why they revised that because to capture a larger audience I could see those mechanics needed to be toned down. Then the game just kept getting revision after revision & every time it just felt worse for the overall game.

    What we have now is a fine & competent game that feels rather disinteresting overall & a shadow of the concept it was trying to reach.

    Even the modding scene can’t really elevate it too much & the game has a horrid taint after the unpaid contributer stuff.
