To be clear, I just mean release as in B42 becoming available as default. Their long term plans are great though, I look forward to playing them in 2030 haha.

I haven't played multiplayer, but Build 42 is really shaping up. Game is getting more survival-y in that you can make a lot more stuff from components (ore, clay etc.) and there is real wildlife/ livestock to make more food craftable from renewable post-apocalyptic sources. The lighting has been overhauled, some older areas have been revamped to be more realistic, buildings can be much taller. They even added a bit of randomness to the map with random basements. I'm really hopeful this patch gets guns right too, they've improved previously but still take way too long to become viable IMO.

They must be pretty close to official release, it's really getting there.

Eh, I dunno. The opening seasons are usually weak (TOS is an exception) but looking at Encounter at Farpoint/Emissary/Caretaker and even Broken Bow they all do a pretty good job introducing the show even if the cast hasn't found its feet yet.

Honestly, Vulcan Hello / Battle of the Binary Stars is spot on for how the rest of Discovery behaves. Pay lip service to science and exploration and, at the first opportunity, trash that and turn into an action drama.

Look on my works Sim Mayor and

collapsed inline media

Yeah, I got started in silicon thinking cheaper, faster, more power efficient chips would be a net benefit to the world... Then we became a social media surveillance state and AI dogshit is just the icing on the cake.

Now I drink to forget we're boiling the oceans to ruin society. One day this capitalist hellscape will end.

I agree, but I can envision scenarios where you are integrating into someone else's workflow/machine and they (or their build system etc.) are expecting a shell script. Python is ubiquitous but sometimes you just want to work like everything else.

I wonder how many in game days a speedrun would be while still destroying the Caretaker's Array? I want to dunk on Janeway's time to the alpha quadrant... Unless I have to run my engines on nucleogenic aliens like the Equinox.

Seriously. I want a personal HUD for navigation and reminders that also corrects my vision (like normal glasses), not to become a walking surveillance device / info mine.

I don't think AOC has that baggage. Democratic voters want someone that isn't a corpo-centrist running like being not-Trump is enough. Every argument that can be made against AOC could have been made against Obama in 2006 too, but he had a message that resonated and won. AOC could be in a good position to do something similar. I'd sure vote for her, even if she's become more mainstream she's still miles ahead of every other likely candidate.

I agree the Metron connection didn't need to be made so explicit. Would've been better if it was if-you-know-you-know about the lights, but I guess that would be unsatisfying to anyone unlikely to wiki things after the fact.

Anyway, also agree this was a great episode regardless. Couldn't help tear up when the Gorn died, which is not where I expected to be today.

RIP.

I don't really care what color they are when they are long as your palm and flying at your face.
