Oh she's governable all right. She doesn't take those talking points from the Kremlin for nothing.
"The answer was The Downward Spiral... Nine Inch Nails’ second album"
I like how Broken, despite having 7 tracks to PHM's 8 tracks, is referred to as an "EP" and not their second album. Not to mention Fixed exists. TDS is their third album, fite me.
Edit: since I'm on the subject, here are some little kids performing Wish.
Every Bethesda game since Skyrim (and arguably Skyrim, depending on who you talk to) has followed the exact same script: exponentially longer development time to shart out marginal graphics improvements, dumbed-down mechanics and vastly less engaging storytelling.
Up until Starfield I had managed to enjoy all of them for what they were (with modders' help of course). But Starfield is so aggressively dull I had a free 30-day trial of Microsoft GPU and could only manage maybe a week of playing it on the cloud before I was literally too bored to bother.
Given Bethesda's trajectory, I have to agree with you. ES6 is going to be pure shit.
I think it goes something like this: "If I vote against Russia's interests, Putin might release some of the abundant kompromat he has on me."
You ignore my question as to why you're even in this thread, naturally.
Or maybe they had a point, I'm not the only one calling you out.
Or maybe they fucking don't. The top comment in this particular thread is "Na fuck discovery specifically," and it has 6 upvotes. Second-most upvoted comment in this entire thread (currently 34 upvotes) is someone who says "No," followed by "You have been banned from the community: Risa@startrek.website."
So, my opinion about the practice of banning people for stating their opinions - as with my opinion about Discovery being dogshit - seems to be in a very comfortable majority, thanks.
Also, if it makes you feel better to call that a "personal attack" - as if that has anything at all to do with anything I have said - then by all means, knock yourself out.
This is the kind of thing that kept me out of the fandom for years. I have zero interest in hearing how bad you think Discovery or Enterprise or whatever is, but by God you and everyone else will be sure to explain it to everyone repeatedly.
Only when asked. It's a legitimate point for discussion and it comes up from time to time and so what? Can't you read the subject line or look at the meme (see: OP) and just avoid clicking on the discussion? Why are you even here to read this? You knew what it was going to be!
The only thing that's wrong around all of this is that when I give my perfectly reasonable and widely-held opinion, I'm liable to be fucking banned for it in certain places because people like you are wielding the hammer.
This keeps you out of the fandom? Jesus H. Christmas, maybe you need to spend your days in a room lit only by candlelight wearing earplugs and doing nothing but reading actual paper books? This is every fandom in existence on the Internet without exception.
Wow, you even corrected the fonts. Splendid work!
On /r/startrek? No, you can't. You can be as reasonable as you please laying out your well-considered opinion and it won't matter for fuck-all. The banhammer will have you.
And it's always Discovery when these posts are made, isn't it. Because Discovery never tried to be Star Trek in anything but name and when fans backlash, it's always the fans' fault, not the show's fault (Paramount/CBS astroturf the shit out of this online, imo). Picard sucks too for similar reasons, and I just said so on an internet forum. So what?
Maybe I wish these shows hadn't got made because they were a giant waste of resources, but at the end of the day, I'm still enjoying LD and SNW. But no, I can't tell the world what a pile of dogshit Discovery is, oh no, that makes me a shitty fan who deserves to be banned.
Speaking of which, let me tell you about /r/startrek - those assholes can fuck themselves and if startrek.website is infected with that particular mind virus, it can fuck itself too. Being intolerant of opinions about a stupid tv show is far worse than any particular opinion could possibly be.
I went there too. I think you're underselling the transporter. They acted like you were about to get on like a motion sim or something, lined everybody up on those rows in front of the doors, then everything went black, sparkles coming from everywhere, a giant rush of wind upward is what it felt like - very confusing - and then BAM, the lights came on and you were on the bridge of the Enterprise-D.
Hell of an effect and something I'll never forget.
And Quark's bar man. It was so cool.
