There are way more rings than that, and they’re actually the best parts of the game. It gets so much worse in the levels without rings. Awful combat, terrible puzzles, inconsistent framerate, and thoroughly unclear objectives.

Oh, and everyone’s favorite: escort missions!

Poetry.

It’s broadcast seasons vs how many purchases (“episode orders”) were made. Fox aired 5 but paid for 4 (held back some episodes), then the movies, Comedy Central aired across 4 seasons but made 2 episode orders, and now Hulu split their first order across 2 aired seasons.

Aired: 5 Fox, 1 movies, 4 CC, 2 Hulu -> season 12.

Orders: 4 Fox, 1 movies, 2 CC, 1 Hulu -> Season 8.

(Hulu made a second episode order already, but since that wouldn’t start until at least next year I didn’t count it. Assuming it’s split again, it’ll be seasons 13+14 or 9.)

That was one of those tiny goofy references I miss from Reddit. They put a Pi symbol at the end of every page (on old reddit at least) as a nod to that movie.

Seems it’s a promo for season 2 of TOS and the show’s new timeslot on Fridays. The lettering is a nod to Laugh-In, and the whole timeslot shuffle is a long story.

Also I see Google has completely given up on quotation marks around phrases. So that’s fun.

Star Trek DS9: Crossroads of Time on Super Nintendo.

My favorite memory of it was from the first day: a friend telling me I couldn’t use the same phaser twice against Borg drones. I was confident they wouldn’t put a detail like like that in a game. Not two seconds later, the very next drone blocked my phaser. (Clearly one of Trek’s ongoing lessons in the arrogance of man. Ahem.)

Seems silly looking back to think game devs wouldn’t care as much (or more!) as I did about Star Trek to add in ideas like that.

The same general idea, with better wording. Not really sure what OP was trying to add. In my experience critics aren’t demanding hyperrealism, and are the first to praise unique art styles.

Monster Hunter World

Oh, the memories. I used to download that off Kazaa to show people. Usually alongside Don Hertzfeldt’s Rejected.

Spacewave? It tends to be more slow paced and synth-heavy, and really evokes the feeling of giant planets and stars. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RlxClUifEw&t=1800 (at the 30 minute mark, though the very first song works too)

I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one who got that mixed up. I had to rewatch the bridge scene to understand they were tracking the ship, and not some psychic outbreak of heightened emotions.

Also, I just now looked ahead. Is the next title really a Garth Marenghi reference? Because that’s amazing.

That it’s not immediately blasting every ship it comes near. It was either oblivious to the Orions’ presence or ignoring them outright, until they were foolish enough to threaten it.

I still haven’t paid to remove ads, and no Adguard, yet I’ve never had a single ad show up. I wonder if there’s a bug.

Wow. I’m surprised at the dislike for the old detailed icon. Maybe it’s being old enough to remember black and white icons, but I miss the increasing amount of colors that icons had for a while there. I hate the trend toward monocolor silhouettes.

Nitter still works. No login needed.

Henchman 24: Come on! They have one female servicing a large group of males. That implies a species that lays eggs.

Henchman 21: Oh my God, you’re crazy! They’re so obviously mammals!

Henchman 24: Please! She’d be in estrus 24/7 if she didn’t lay eggs.

Henchman 21: Smurfs don’t lay eggs! I won’t tell you this again! Papa Smurf has a fucking beard! They’re mammals!

Depends on if he’s saying Laurel or Yanny.

And Enterprise. It improved so much in s3, but good luck getting through 50 episodes to get there.

The Klingon breakdown in the final song about had me laughing so hard I was almost in tears. I appreciate using the songs to move various character storylines forward. It feels like everyone ended the episode in a much better place, outside of Spock. …and maybe M’Benga…he didn’t seem thrilled with the singing, though he certainly had some fancy footwork during the final song.

I can’t get past “Verbwire”. Like they picked the second half of the name, but then creativity ran out.
