If Apple Vision doesn’t have a app then I’m not interested.

I act smart but it's a facade. Don't believe the hype. In 1988 I spent £5.99 on this game.

A screen shot from the game. A mishmash of 6 colours. A little dude is bottom right, birdies (yes that is what they are called) fly across and you have to get them with your bow and arrows.

@selzero my favourite genre of juxtaposition is comparing 80s video games’ box art with the graphics in the actual game.

@SchlocklusterVideo anyone ever listen to the rock band Filter? His brother Richard Patrick is the lead singer (and former guitarist for Nine Inch Nails). Anyway I just thought everyone might like to know that. Happy Birthday, Robert.

@SchlocklusterVideo they’re still going and have put out a lot of new stuff in the last 10-15yrs. Some’s not-so-great but some’s awesome! https://youtu.be/-Qoa3zDza4w?si=pLOkT0zDEtYXQ5ps

Which song immediately comes to mind?

@tdriley@mas.to avatar

@zebulonmysterioso @selzero my mate once lent me a NAILBOMB album on cassette so I could copy it. The only old cassette I had to record on was from German language class at school, and I managed to accidentally only dub one of the stereo channels, so I ended up with a tape that played mid-90s industrial thrash metal in one ear, and Deutsche Heute in the other. A bizarre listening experience.

Not enough is said about the entrance Dorothy makes in the Wizard of Oz

She drops an entire house on a bitch, killing her, and like a whole city of random people just kinda show up and start singing about how dope that was

@JonBaker I’m obsessed with scifi movie cyborgs but after rewatching The Wizard of Oz, you realize most of them are just a retelling of the Tin Man’s search for a heart.

In a desperate misguided attempt to satisfy my #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds addiction, I watched a few of the Pike-heavy episodes of Discovery season 2, and this happened 🧐

Having one of those moments where I am in a plane 30,000 feet over rural northern Canada and my laptop-sized supercomputer is connected via thin air to another computer on the plane which is in turn connected to a third computer that is in space and they're all coordinating to beam data back to me and somehow, in the midst of this miracle, I have the gall to be annoyed that it is not quite fast enough.

@enduser @rm4 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has completely redesigned The Gorn species to make them one of the main antagonists in the show, looking pretty cool so far! #spacelizards

tdriley,
@tdriley@mas.to avatar

@enduser @rm4 yeh they’ve gone back to each individual episode being a whole story, with just a few overarching storylines, unlike Discovery and Picard that are all over the place. Definitely the best Trek in a long time.

tdriley,
@tdriley@mas.to avatar

@enduser @rm4 Yeh absolutely! It ties into a lot of core trek canon but definitely works as a standalone “first trek”. Maybe give S1E1 a try, if you like that, you’ll like the whole thing. They try some pretty adventurous ideas in a couple of episodes, but broadly the whole two seasons have been great and gets better as you watch more 🖖

@JohnnyDelirious @Zoboomafoo One moment Spok is frantically trying to find Chapel on the Kayuga, but then doesn’t even mention survivors when they plan to crash it. It’s too much of a stretch. There must be some key plot here they deliberately didn’t show us. We don’t see the initial attack on the Kayuga at all. Why was the lone Gorn (stuck?) on that side of the line trying to access command codes on a destroyed ship? I think we’ll get a revealing flashback in S03E01.

@ValueSubtracted
Did anyone else wonder (spoiler warning):

When Rah arrives on Enterprise, all the war vets hate him, but did M'Benga's damaged mind actually awaken his military instincts as a defence mechanism, compelling him to "finish" the unfinished mission to kill Rah?

When M'Benga & Rah first spar, M'Benga says he thought about not showing up but changed his mind because "Klingon judo is good exercise". Does he then use the session in a safe environment to A) trick Rah into...

tdriley,
@tdriley@mas.to avatar

@ValueSubtracted ...thinking he is the superior fighter, and B) test if he can get a quick, sharp attack past his guard? Was he prepping in case he wanted/needed to kill him?

We don't see the end fight, but we believe from M'Benga looking Pike in the eyes, twice saying "I didn't start the fight" that he didn't.

However, in M'Benga's PTSD-ridden mind, where he never "finished" the mission to kill Rah, maybe he really doesn't think he started it, because Rah "started it" on J'Gal?

tdriley,
@tdriley@mas.to avatar

@ValueSubtracted This could be the case whether or not Rah started the fight at the end, but after rewatching, it feels like M'Benga's actions were all preparing for that outcome (or preparing to protect himself?) Rah of course also has a motive to kill M'Benga - he's the only person who knows what actually happened with the Klingon commanders on J'Gal.

@williams_482 @triktrek Many fans react badly to the P-12 serum as a lazy plot device, but consider: In key battles, it’d make tactical sense for Klingons to draw Fed soldiers into hand to hand combat, because they’re typically experienced blade warriors. It would then be attractive to the Fed to develop something like P-12 as a counter-tactic. Then consider there is a potential sub-plot exploring the ethics of humans revisiting their Eugenics Wars-era mistakes.

tdriley,
@tdriley@mas.to avatar

@williams_482 @triktrek (It is mentioned elsewhere that human soldiers in the Eugenics Wars were given drugs to make them better fighters, and human history remembers this as a huge mistake/atrocity).

What's your views on PIC season 3?

I’m currently rewatching it, and at first I admit I hated the season and didn’t understand all the praise it got, but on this second viewing, I am actually warming up a bit to it. It still is deeply flawed, with a lot of things that don’t make sense or could have been done better, but I kinda like it regardless. What do...

tdriley,
@tdriley@mas.to avatar

@startrekexplained @keeb420 I forced my way through PIC S1 last year but abandoned it when I discovered SNW. I cannot with chaotic plot arcs threaded everywhere and shoehorned cliffhangers that turn out to be insignificant. TNG/SNW tell a complete story per-episode with some wider arcs holding seasons together. That works and is the only trek I can enjoy. The PIC/DISC format invites lazy writing and breaks suspension of disbelief, which is needed to appreciate trek.

tdriley,
@tdriley@mas.to avatar

@startrekexplained agree it hasn’t started as well as S1 but I’m still optimistic, especially if that second episode is anything to go by. Episode 4 was a good one for me too.
