I learned this when I was buying beer, walked into a free-standing display, and somehow exploded one of the cans I was carrying. The cashier put the remaining three in a box to clean up and sell later.

Yeah, I think we mostly liked that place for the donuts before those got worse too. Now they're even worse than that. Any random grocery store with a bakery makes better donuts that Tim's.

Meanwhile McDonald's makes pretty tasty generic dark roast, and they sell it dirt cheap.

Yeah, I've spent hundreds of hours in Daggerfall and never got far with the story, but I did figure out how to fly in the void outside the dungeons and shoot the really hard monsters with arrows! Daggerfall is so ridiculously big it probably has hundreds of towns that have only ever been visited by one obsessive kid who made a point to click on them all.

It looks like they also made it look Roman as a reference to Bread and Circuses.

There was some issue with the achievements for those of us who played the early launch. I'm playing the Steam version, but it thinks I never went to space or joined Constellation despite me having them for things like quests and killing 300 creatures.

Because there aren't a lot of Kelseys on TV in the USA. Same reason I get a weird vibe about characters like Liam Shaw. (After the events of PIC season 3 I still think he's punchable.) ... Firefox doesn't think punchable is a word. Firefox is wrong.

If my friend and I have time at the same time this week we need to catch up on "Foundation" and "What We Do in the Shadows."

Our previous thursday sci-fi binges have included rewatches of TOS and Red Dwarf.

Picking out all the continuity issues in season one of TOS makes a fun drinking game. Balance of Terror also had the crews of both ships whispering like they were worried they could hear each other. lol

Some of the continuity changes, especially to the characters, feel like improvements to me. Chapel and T'Pring are far more interesting in SNW. They don't just feel like walking tropes as they usually did in TOS.

Speaking of design, I like what they did with the sound in DIS and SNW. They hail someone and it starts with the TOS sound and ends with the TNG sound. They have lots of sounds blended from the different eras and it works surprisingly well.

Why didn't you use the way they spoke in the film?

Valeris: "A lie?"

Spock: "An exaggeration."

I agree about reference to our time, but the Lorca's Musk line works because he's from the mirror universe. I'm not sure that's what the writers intended, but I'll take it.

The Picard issue feels like most of what I hear online about it. I suspect in a few years the consensus on season 3 of Picard will have changed.

I did the same. Sync can live in the depths of my app drawer for a while. Muscle memory just got me to write my first comment here. 🙂

The fact Reddit dominates the useful results of so many searches is a problem. That won't work as well with Lemmy because good posts live on different instances.
