Ahh yes, nice 😎

Is the first tile Shah Rukh?

Shamelessly stolen from imgur. I too have no honor

Wish I could remember the DS9 episode where they are cloaked and hunting convoys; someone wonders “is this honourable?” and is answered to the effect “Honour is winning, duh”

Ya it’s the worst part of enjoying history.

I got into it from playing eu4 and there was a ton of an uncomfortable amount of warhammer folks in the community. Way too much deus vult and lebensraum 🤮

ENT is a great beneficiary of picard shitting the bed for 3 seasons 😎

Such a good episode 😎

Now just what in the hell is that doing there?

Edit: not sure you can make out the blurry captain of the Orville here getting scolded on the Enterprise

Where now the horse and the rider?

Did you miss “tranq”, short for tranquilizer? It’s pretty native and modern sounding right? That being said ya the list is disappointing

It’s hard to come up with a circumstance and a buy-in where you can still have Star Trek adventures with real stakes and real peril, but it’s also a school.

White Squall. In space. 🤞

when I realize I have no new treks to watch

Fuck yes, sign me up! ENT fans want to get fed!

The show ended right as Archer entered his prime, just after we saw him broken and beaten by a real year of hell. I want to see that prime era Archer (of which we were robbed) in flashbacks as the current one is once again broken and beaten by another year of hell.

I really hope they get this off the ground 🙏

and all distros jumped into the honeypot

As a filthy casual this is the most distressing part.

I’ve observed the situation shift in just a few years from

“Winter Systemd is coming”

To

“Winter Systemd is here, it’s everywhere, and i hate it”

Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Tactics with the translation-so-bad-it’s-might-be-a-masterpiece.

Actually interesting and novel ability names

Japanese: Dance with knives

1997 Localization: Wiznaibus

WotL Localization: Mincing Minuet

Dialog that pulls no punches

Japanese: My bad, but it’s between you and your god

1997 Localization: Tough luck…Don’t blame me. Blame yourself or God.

WoTL Localization: Forgive me. 'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I.

Other gems lost in the improved localization:

• “heavens wish to destroy all minds”
• “the doom of a planet”
• “evanescence, such a sad word”
• “time, save your kindness for the worthy”

All that being said, the final fantasy gang is generally spectacular with English mastery. It’s like you can tell which books they like to read when they choose obscure words like Eidolon.

It’s obvious in HN because of the wide range of obscure topics (eg installing scaffolding on old British smoke stacks) that occasionally arise to the front page, all the ones on that topic are quickly flagged to oblivion.

You don’t have to be a genius to see the pattern 🤷‍♀️

One of those nobodies I’ve heard of and at least has a good song 🤷‍♀️, bigger than kiss by teenage bottle rocket

Hey I’m actually growing a black sapote!

Here’s a blurry pic of the fruit forming

Technically correct is the best kind of correct right?

How about this alternative with Burnham’s many mothers instead of Picard’s many sons

I’m gonna go with capitalism made her wicked 😎

OSYRAA: Fine. If the Chain is to unite with the Federation, you need to send the message that our culture is fundamentally valid and ethical.

VANCE: And how are we supposed to do that?

OSYRAA: By acknowledging that capitalism is already happening within the Federation.
