Zaslav you shitbag.

Wait what.

So it either causes warp storms and ecoterrorists start attacking warp drives.

Or salamander.

Nazi collaborators continuing to be backwards idiots. What a surprise.

Hitler Youth 2.0

Reality is satire.

SFDebris’ notion of different Queen models that provide a certain strategic ‘flavour’ is about the most that saves the concept for me. Barely.

First Contact and Endgame are steady, focusing more on precise moves between periods of steady growth. Scorpion to Unimatrix Zero guided the Collective towards aggressive and expansionist moves.

Less ‘in control’ and more like setting the faction policy in a 4X game for example.

Damn, Tom King is the suspect?

100x the casualty count from Oct 7th.

It’s way, way past eye for an eye. Stupid ingrains.

Sisko hasn’t met the Picard from The High Ground.

Surrender to idiots and bloodthirsty butchers, or rely on people who have vested interest in holding Russia back.

Gee, what an absolutely impossible choice…

So, essentially its targeted towards violent incels among other specifics now.

Awesome.

I dunno, Far Cry actually feels like a reasonable fit for a show anyway compared to most games.

Theyre not really open to impactful decisions beyond the endings (which end up feeling samey), and most of the appeal comes from the exploration anyway.

An anthology about people being dumped into horrible survival situations writes itself anyway. So long as the creative director isn’t a nut job portraying the religious cult leader as being in the right…

Really loose recollection and paraphrasing;

Trace contaminations in alcohol could lead heavy drinkers to pass out in a coma-like state for potentially days at a time. Given the frequency, holding a wake to be absolutely sure it wasn’t one of these poisonings became a useful custom.

And then of course, changes and regulations mean the contaminations are weeded out of the process, but the ritual itself persists because of human habit.

It was here in Australia at a shitty Catholic college. Bede Polding, to name and shame.

Their zero tolerance was saying ‘no’ to a teacher. As if their fascism wasn’t blatant enough.

A useful misconception, and a mind both intelligent and integral enough to utilise that in a non-malicious manner.
