    Star Trek Prodigy Main Title

    The Star Trek Prodigy main title was recently released: https://intl.startrek.com/news/star-trek-prodigy-unveils-opening-title-sequence The main title didn't excite me at first, but it starts to grow on me. It also gives us another look at the ship (USS Protostar, NX-76884. The NX...

    Pathfinder 2E Looks like I will be running a PF2e game in a few weeks...suggestions?

    Just a quick thought I had, which already had from playing (and loving) D&D. We have an online MapTools game, and we have only 2.5h each session once a week (with lots of breaks because someone can't make it). Most of my players liked D&D 4 "combat as a sport" / tactical combat. But we also want...

    The Witcher - Nightmare of the Wolf

    That was very good show. I wish to see more adventures of Vesemir now. I also enjoyed that the trailer I remember an enjoyable way. It looked so much like Castlevania that I figured Vesemir and the sorceress, but his age... I don't actually remember reading it back then, but apparently he got...

    Could you please help me because my maths are so low

    I am not sure where to help you, I don't see your question? What do you want to figure out?

    Foundation (Asimov) on AppleTV+ Trailer - Are You In or Out?

    Definitely interested in this. I got 1 and a half year free Apple TV+ subscription that I let run out, but when Foundation comes out or latest when the new For All Mankind season begins I will probably resubscribe. Judging by the trailer and the responses to the trailer, a lot of fans will...

    Thoughts on the rebooted He-Man (Netflix)

    I am not sure that she isn't just going along for now because she can better interfere from the inside. But I dunno. I have practically no memories of He-Man, probably because it wasn't a show I would watch with any regularity. I expected the show to be a bit more about He-Man than it was...

    Person of Interest

    Person of Interest was one of my favorite shows. I actually rewatched it a few times over the years, and noticed how the various seeds of the metaplot are strewn over the seasons. There were always new facets added that put things into more context. One of the small things I really liked is how...

    Falcon and winter solider

    The job of a soldier is not one that is healthy for body and mind, and while that doesn't mean crimes done by soldiers should go unpunished, the government has responsibility for their well being and needs to keep taking care of their mental and physical health. Of course, Walker probably is...

    The "Torment a Historian" movie playlist thread

    Which would be better, unless you need to some tax deduction or secure some film funding support from local states or countries.

    How Quickly Do You Read?

    If I really decide to read a book, I'll usually do it over a few days, probably a weekend or something. But it doesn't happen anywhere as often as I used to. Streaming, Gaming or Work just dominate my time. It's been over a year since I last read novel (and it might have been several years). I...

    Falcon and winter solider

    I am not sure he could hide behind his bosses here - would his bosses even know the skin color of the applicants? I think in the end it's up to him, and he could try to do more, but he doesn't really care about them, so why bother?

    Falcon and winter solider

    I am not sure I care about that boat/family business thing at all. The character drama in Wandavision worked because it fueled the whole story of why strange things are happening. But this sounds like it could be like the Palmer-family-drama in 24 - stuff that we can mostly use as excuse to...

    Faster than light travel

    That would only get us to the speed of light, though. Still no FTL. And if every atom in your body suddenly has no (inertial) mass, it might not really be your body anymore. Just - stuff flying off into all directions at the speed of light.

    Marvel vs DC

    IIRC, the argument against making it open source was that there with vaccines, people need to trust them. And if anything, debate about Corona-Virus vaccines but also persistent myths like "vaccines cause autism" remind us that this isn't wrong. If anyone can make them, then there will also be...

    Faster than light travel

    Does this particular method actually still even allow FTL travel, or does it just allow you to travel non-relativistically close to the speed of light? I seem to remember someone commenting on that detail, but I am not sure if it was correct. I don't expect to be able to understand the actual...

    Mars Rover Perseverance Landing... and continuing...

    As I am getting older, I can't get as excited as I used to be about these things, but I still feel these are quite important missions. The universe is ridiculously big. We know so little about it. We should always try to learn more about it. And the idea that we might figure out more about the...

    What do space empires fight over?

    What if it isn't ancient technology, but "modern" technology. The Ascended Federation has the most advanced technology in the known universe (and the ascended Federation has explored more than most). The other human colonies weren't as successful. The Federation has relatively strict...

    OOTS 1223: Bird's Eye View

    These rules lawying DMs... "Technically, this is not an illusion, because you see something that actually exist" Rat Bastard DM from Hell, right there! :)

    [+] Star Trek Discovery (Fan) Thread

    Not just his responsibilities, but also because contact with Starfleet isn't instantenous. IIRC, In Balance of Terror, it took days or weeks for Starfleet to send a reply back, and he had to make decisions now and then. He had the authority to make such decisions because he was so far way. His...

    So Cyberpunk 2077

    I shouldn't have activated the nVidia FPS counter. Now I want a new graphic cards. And you almost can't get any.
