    Picard season 2 (spoilers maybe unmarked)

    IIRC, it's even harder than that - The Queen also has no nanoprobes anymore, they were removed prior to the festivities that would end with her death. IIRC that was the purpose of storing her in Jurati's lab. That's presumably also why she's limited to cable connections to infiltrate the computer.

    Picard season 2 (spoilers maybe unmarked)

    21st century probably still has radar, but I wouldn't be surprised if even a barely functional 24th (or is 25th already) century ship has some tech or just a hull coating that defeats most regular radar. They might have only picked up a minor blip that could come from a meteor. Wherever it is...

    Strange New Worlds trailer

    I kinda feel it makes sense that many of those "explorer" type Captains that would go on a 5 year mission for Starfleet might seek out a "quiet" life in the wilderness. They went out to the stars to explore the unknown and a lot of that time is probably just holding watch while the ship hurls...

    Picard season 2 (spoilers maybe unmarked)

    I haven't seen the episode yet. But I learned today that there is a scene that includes 4 ships originally made for Star Trek Online, with Picard and STO artists collaborating to to get the game models into the ship. Fans of the Clear Skies webseries might also be interested, the STO ship...

    Ukraine invasion

    The company I work at sent an email about something they are doing. We have a site in Poland, and during the last holiday season we had a lot of temp workers from the Ukraine. The people at the site are now working to contact the families of those workers (and reached some of them) to find them...

    New Kelvin Timeline Star Trek film goes into production late 2022

    Massacring the New Bajor colonists around the same time might also be considered a hostile act. Or trying to blow up one the Bajoran home star to catch Alpha Quadrant forces...

    Eternals (Spoilers)

    I watched Eternals recently. Okay movie, I'd say. Some very interesting ideas. I agree with some others that I don't like the "ancient astronauts" aspect much, and the whole spiela bout Celestials birthing stars... well, science in the MCU is often naughty word, but this was probably the worst. :)...

    Witcher (Netflix)

    Each game tells a story that is finished at the end of the game, and the next game starts a new story that is mostly independent of the previous one. Some characters will return, but they will be properly reintroduced. Having played the previous games or read the novels increase your familiarity...

    Witcher (Netflix)

    It has been a while since I read the books. I think Geralt is really both. Yennefer is his big love, but there were women before and in-between, I think. Once Ciri enters his life, she really becoems important to him, and he definitely takes the guardian job seriously. The Witcher game series...

    Wheel of Time Discussion - Spoilers(with book spoilers)

    They need to make a better effort at showing that he is cursed/sick or whatever is that is actually going on. Because if you know he's dealing with some kind of influence (and maybe trying to resist even) it means there is something to root for. I thought the scenes in the Two Rivers with him...

    Witcher (Netflix)

    I think you can. The Witchers - and certainly Geralt - generally try to stay out of it, but the situation with Ciri makes things more complicated, though. I think it's really just important to root for Ciri, Geralt or Yennefer. (And typically, that involves rooting for all 3.) But failing...

    Vader vs Soth: Fight! Who wins?

    Yes. It turns him into a murderous, remorseless killer. (And kick-ass pod-racer, but that's probably not important to this discussion).

    Witcher (Netflix)

    I agree. She stops being merely chased and trying to survive to finally formulating her own goals and taking steps towards achieving them. That is very satisfactory. I also liked Yennefer's story, too. Having to go by on her wits rather than her magic is a new challenge for her that she...

    Witcher (Netflix)

    I watched it, and was very well entertained. It's been some time since I read the books, so I don't really remember all the details. I know that some book fans really seem to hate the changes, but the show story really stands well on its own and I feel stays pretty true to the world and broad...

    "Titans" Season 3

    I definitely agree it was the best season yet. It worked so much better on many levels, and stayed pretty coherent throughout. I agree with Stalker0's "concerns" even and still liked it. (And if I may add another one, the whole " to play some idiot water ball"?) But overall it was fun to watch...

    Dammit! +ve covid test

    Pah, Highlander is overrated anyway. If cutting off your head kills you, it's not real immortality!

    Oh, that sucks. My non-professional medical advice would be to get better, soon!

    D&D 5E (2014) Which attributes is associated with which energy type

    Hmm. I am not sure you can always link energy type to save type, because it will depend on the specifics of the effect that is associated with the effect.. For example, if someone is throwing ice arts at you, dex seems appropriate to dodge the dart (but maybe it's no save at all and an attack...

    D&D General Why is D&D 4E a "tactical" game?

    Agree on the preperation, but having DMed a campaign up to LEvel 30, analysis paralaysis was still a bit of an issue during tactical play - with 4 daily attack powers, 4 encounters attack powers and a bunch of utilities, some of these abiltiies being able to used as minor or free actionp plus...
