    Star Trek Reboot Universe: Brainstorm/Ideas

    United Earth is still fairly young and barely holding on by the start of ENT. NX-01 is heading out to bring Klaang back to Qo'nos, but Archer requests the ship to be armed. Starfleet is absolutely not military, and has little access. The US denies them, as they actively want Starfleet to fail...

    Trump Investigations Thread

    2016 polls showed that Hillary Clinton was easily favored to win. They were wrong. 2023 polls show Trump has a small lead over Biden. I'm not sure how your logic adds up to "Trump wins even more". The argument is "polls are unreliable".

    Trump Investigations Thread

    Sure if that's what you want to go with. Democrats have been absolutely shitting on the GOP in recent elections. Republicans love Trump. The rest? Not so much. Anecdotally, I know alot of the "in between" people who voted for Trump the first time who won't do it again. Trump's base is...

    Star Trek Reboot Universe: Brainstorm/Ideas

    I've been focusing alot on like, post-WW2 through the ENT-era and fleshing out that backstory. I have a general background and an idea on how most things play out, without ALL the specifics. Genetic engineering and eugenics become a big thing immediately after WWII, with a cabal of...

    All of those polls are super reliable, like in 2016!

    "Woke" Franchises

    I'm in NJ and of our counties has a "blue law" that stores can't be open on Sunday, and it IS enforced. It's so odd.

    Trump Investigations Thread

    Ah, the old "do some research on Youtube" argument. So. Conspiracy theories. People don't believe our elections are legitimate because some people have been throwing a years long temper tantrum over their cult leader losing. It's hilarious how the right calls the left snowflakes, but they're...

    I would love to see the proof you have these claims. Do I ask the Pillow Guy? He's supposed to have all the proof? Right?

    I'm sure one or two are. The rest of the world had no idea the Daily Wire had a streaming service.

    Oh that's what we're doing. I was talking about facts, not wackjob conspiracy theories. Nevermind.

    That certainly does help. It's kind of a lost art today. Even 20 years ago, we had some absolute magicians when it came to practical effects. I was actually just watching a documentary about the making of Elf... random I know... but they were talking about how they used alot of forced...

    Trump Investigations Thread

    Not really. Trump is awful and has been awful for half a century. Clinton... yeah there's some corruption there. Joe Biden? Maybe kinda. Hunter? That's a stretch. Dude's a shithead but he's not the level of Trump or Clinton.

    That's where I can excuse some concessions for a live action product. The overall look of everything is incredibly faithful. More accurate Ghouls would be a bit more expensive to do properly. The Ghoul shown looks... fine, and realistically not every ghoul will have the same level of decay.

    I gotta say, the show looks surprisingly faithful to the source material. Maybe, just maybe, some companies are realizing that when they have a successful thing... just make the successful thing.

    Trump Investigations Thread

    Get out of your echo chamber for a minute. This isn't political warfare at all. Trump has been a corrupt piece of shit for DECADES, long before he was in any way relevant to politics. He's been in court consistently for about 40 years. The only difference now is that he has a political fandom...

    General Gaming Thread

    I find them to be almost unplayable after playing things like BG3. I just can't do the real time combat, it feels so terrible. You can pause, sure but it's not nearly the same. I tried playing BG1 I just... couldn't get past that.

    Star Trek Reboot Universe: Brainstorm/Ideas

    That's definitely part of what I want to do here is really flesh things out. So my general idea for how the Federation as a whole works is to look at how the European Union works. I think the Federation would be a very similar organization. A collection of mostly sovereign states that are...

    Star Trek Reboot Universe: Brainstorm/Ideas

    I've been playing with my own take on Star Trek for awhile now, and I figured it could be fun to discuss some things if anyone was interested. My general rule is to try to keep all the names, places, events and such intact although circumstances can be different. Dates are also generally to be...

    What strange logic Cult 45 has. A Judge doing their job and doing exactly what they supposed to do under the law "instills doubt". Fact is... Discovery isn't about demanding things you want without being able to actually articulate the reason why you want them. If Trump's lawyers would just...

    I like to think that energy weapons were the shit, but most of them have degraded so much over two centuries that they're not nearly as effective as they once were.
