Well, nice to know it's not just me I guess. Though I could see the good ol' STO cursor at least. It didn't show up in the screencap I took though so alas it just looks like a Spinal Tap album cover.
A new update this morning, but no change. Still crashes at the loading screen. Day 9 for me of not being able to play the game. On the plus side, the Let's Play videos I was doing for it aren't monetized so I'm not losing out on anything. Besides fun, anyway. :/
Another day, another series of crashes. The patches have done nothing, force verify has done nothing, I don't have that AMD card that's been causing other people trouble... Man, at least my STO Let's Play series was not making any money (that isn't a request for pity, my channel's never been monetized). It just sucks on a…
I doubt they'd risk it. They'd be accused of ripping off Mass Effect Andromeda. Which I actually thought was fine and that the backlash to it was overblown relative to what flaws it actually did have (that easily could've been appeared over with decent DLC and a good sequel, but alas) but I digress.
I've recently dipped my toes into the waters of Discovery fic writing. https://archiveofourown.org/works/18351101 I should note this is a sequel to someone else's DIS fic; https://archiveofourown.org/works/13873569 (they approved of my follow-up though). Also contains spoilers for Season 2, in case you haven't seen it.
I'd have much rather seen Landry's backstory on the show itself TBH, but I still liked this for the most part, one odd bug where I respawned way ahead of where I should've and had to backtrack to continue the mission. And the ending, yeah, I saw it coming but I won't front; I cried. I am such a f***ing softy.
Um, not sure why the L word was censored. It isn't a slur. Editing my post like this made me look like some kind of anti-LGBTQ bigot and I do not appreciate that. I mean, it would be like if I wrote a post where I described myself as Dutch-Irish, and the Mods replaced Dutch with VULCAN. I mean, what?
Been on a Hayley Kiyoko kick lately. One might not think a cishet white dude could find something relatable in the music of an Asian TRIBBLE, but some feelings are just universal, and Hayley knows how to push those buttons. She's like Janelle Monae; not so much is musical style but as in both are pop performers who deserve…
Same here. Went down when I was trying to switch from my Cardassian captain to my... actually I forget which one I was gonna do but that's not really relevant.
That episode was a tear-jerker originally too. Glad I was able to do it justice. The episode is called Drone if you wanna look it up. The costuming doesn't quite hold up on HD screens, but that's not the show's fault. Technology just moves on. :)
The other ship was something from the show. A promising two-parter that kinda blew it in the second part, sadly. I shall say no more lest I spoil things for you.
I wasn't thinking in terms of battles, I mean concepts like the Romulan Republic, or the game-specific ship classes like the Geneva, or... um.. whatever the ENterprise-F is (can't remember off the top of my head). Maybe some characters like Commander Jarok or Doctor Cooper (before and after being replaced by Species 8472).…
Now that I've been playing STO for several months, I can't help but think of what elements of the game I'd want to borrow for a sequel. I mean, I have had a few readers ask for one. I probably won't do one though.
Definitely my favorite character on the show. Robert Picardo is an actor that really doesn't get enough love, despite how many great things he's done. The EMH on Voyager, Gremlins 2, Masters of Horror: Homecoming, China Beach...
I know that feeling. And I'm unemployed right now so I have no one to blame for that but myself. I've developed a saying in recent years; Free time is the enemy. I was much better at finding time for movies and books back when I had a job, ironically.
A few times the game has crashed during another mission, but those missions it only ever happened once and didn't happen again on future plays/re-plays. Cutting The Cord is the only one that crashes consistently. It has never not crashed. Some missions crash, I re-start the game, and they work fine. Most missions don't…
Tried it again recently, after over a month and a few updates. It not only still crashed, it crashed earlier than all the other times. This was my 6th or 7th attempt. Luckily, I was able to find the story relevant cutscenes on YouTube. This mission is just plain F'ed.
And it just did it to me again today. Three times in a row, crashing when I click OK after clicking Exit Game. This is a really odd problem. Shouldn't exiting the game, be it for just a break or being done for the day be as simple as; 1: Click Exit 2: Confirm exit. 3: Back to desktop? Instead I get 1: Click Exit 2: Confirm…
Nope. AO3 is completely free. They do annual fundraisers to keep it going, but they tend to happen around the time of year when I'm least financially comfortable. :/
