  • Uhh am I crazy or did like every game I play go straight into where I last played (not checkpoint, not menu) with the feature? Non 1st party too. Maybe I just didn’t pay attention, but I do feel like games like Star Wars Survivor and FFXVI just went straight back to whatever random place I was in the game.

    That’s an incredibly stupid idea to drop that feature. The video in the article says no one used this but uhhhhhhh anyone playing a PS5 game would be using it no? They may not realize it but wow losing it kinda really sucks.






  • The US government moreso than NASA as funding for them as been an easy punching bag for both political parties lately.

    The other thing is optics. NASA isn’t allowed to blow up 20 rockets on their designs. They only get one chance to get it right. That’s why the SLS has only 1 launch and is 1/1 as opposed to the SpaceX Dragon and Starship can just throw money at them until they work.

    Not saying one way is better than the other, just that NASA has to fight not to make the front page because 9/10 it means they made a mistake which costs them more funding. IMO all of this is going to come up to a very slow pace akin to NASA when we start with crewed missions (SpaceX Starship will be mission controlled by NASA as well). They super don’t fuck around with crewed launches, especially after the botched Boeing Space launch. And a crew launch failure affects everyone SpaceX and NASA alike.


  • Yeah I think you’re right as a fanfic. Coming of the heels of Andor too… I mean everything is gonna look shit compared to that series haha. But I think it’s also our first look at The High Republic and honestly expectations are rightfully high (no pun intended) because this is effectively our first peek at something that has nothing to do with the Skywalker era. And it just didn’t meet that bar, which kinda puts a bad taste in future endeavors.

    Honestly it’s a systematic failure of Executive leadership at Disney more than anything. At countless points this project should’ve been axed or halted for rewrites. Giving that much latitude to an inexperienced show runner is very dangerous.







  • Haha tbh I think I was just a kid like 8 years old or something and it probably just didn’t register until that episode. Growing up my family would watch Trek every Wednesday when new episodes came out, but we weren’t allowed to watch a lot of TV.

    I’m guessing my parents thought we wouldn’t care/understand much of DS9 as I didn’t really watch it until I was older. I think VOY came on earlier in the night and DS9 may have been past our bedtime too.


  • I literally went through this pyramid while standing in the LEGO store a couple years ago. Was like, yeah you know what, this will bring me a lot of joy for years both building it and looking at it. Also it was right after it came back in sale and they were $1000 on eBay. So I was like yeah I need to buy it now! So yeah anyway I spent $800 on a LEGO set lmao
