This is an excellent analysis! I just watched “The Inner Light” for the first time recently, but it has been a while since I’ve seen “Puhoy”; I’ll have to revisit it soon.
I was raised Baptist, and I really can’t say I’m surprised by this.
Frankly, I’d really like to play D&D 5e, but I can’t get anyone else to DM. Same for Call of Cthulhu 7e.
As far as systems I haven’t run before, I’m interested to see what MCDM’s system turns out to be.
Stars without Numbers seems cool (though I do prefer a system that lets me use dice I can’t find in a Monopoly box).
I own, but have not played (player or GM) the Avatar Legends system. It looks very lovingly put together, but I wish it hadn’t been built on Fate.
I’ve also got a neat little indie(?) system called Upwind that is very narrative focused, and has players sort of bet on suggested conflict outcomes against the GM with a hand of cards. Very interesting, but I haven’t had the bandwidth to get ready to run it for anyone.
I kinda feel like Wes was the enlightened 24th century child who is validated, supported, and taken seriously by people who want him to succeed.
Except for when the writers just have the rest of the bridge crew be mean to him ("shut up, Wesley"). He makes a really good point in "Datalore" (S01E13) when telling Picard that if he was any other officer and not a teenager, his concerns about Lore impersonating Data would have been taken seriously.
Not thrilled about adult swim or “grownup” fans. If this ends up being Rick and Morty but with Adventure Time characters, then I will pass. Adults can enjoy television, even animation without hearing an f-bomb every 30 seconds and without references to sexual organs.
Congrats on nabbing Brothers in Arms! That’s such an awesome album to put on and just vibe with
I’ve been Takeshidude since I was maybe 11 back on Lego.com
Feels wrong to have any other name
I plan to create this community on my instance (once I figure out how to get it running)
I had just finished Voyager season 2 when they pulled it off Netflix. I’m going to have to chase down the DVDs on eBay at some point.
While I can't say I agree with the political views of the lemmy devs (at least as described in this article, as I have no other reference point), I think that it shows one of the really cool things about the fediverse. So what if those guys over there are weirdos? I can take the ball they gave me and go play somewhere else with other people.
My memory probably is more of early Web 2; I was born in the late 90s, so I suppose I missed the really wild west days.
Flash games were great though; it seemed like every company that even slightly catered to people under 30 had a website with some game on it.
Looks like the Third Impact
