And the only Iconians would be on computer desktops. And the only Heralds would be in "Hark the Herald Angels Sing". If I wanted fantasy, I'd read Piers Anthony's Xanth books (anything from '77 to about '85 or so, with "Isle of View" included).
When I got this parrot home, I found that the only reason it was staying on its perch was because it was nailed there. Of course it was nailed. If I hadn't nailed 'im to the perch, he would've muscled up to those bars and voompf! Voompf? He wouldn't go voompf if I put 9 million volts through him. He's dead. He's not dead.…
Agreed. And people wonder why I have zero interest in spending the rest of my life in northern Virginia (or anywhere in the DC area for that matter)? If I had the means to move somewhere else (and had a job waiting for me), I'd leave. In the DC area, either you're rich and get richer, or (like me) you're poor and get…
(sarcasm) Does this mean we have to beware of anything pro-Erik-van-Danikan (Chariots of the Gods; Gods from Outer Space; etc.) in STO? (not sarcasm) Censors. Ah, yes. In "I Love Lucy", two things were forbidden: husband and wife seen sleeping in the same bed, and talking openly about pregnancy (rather than hinting at it;…
1. Pay taxes 2. Pay bills 3. Pay off debts. 4. Put some money aside to pay for future bills (and an entertainment budget -- which includes for computer software and hardware (including upgrades)). 5. Help fund a new STO, character/exploration/story-driven (not 99% dependent on fighting), with no P2W whatsoever. A structure…
Agree with you almost 100% (I don't think the FX are bad; I've seen alot worse). On the story/character interaction and development/exploration part, agree with you 1000%. I started watching (okay, skimming here and there) through the first season of "Andromeda" at YouTube ... and thought, "What did this show do right that…
Since I have Windows 7, I tried running the check-for-compatibility program to see what is supposed to be still usable in Windows 10, and guess what, STO was in the noncompatible list. Guess I need to take that list with a grain of salt.
The better to share em-pohh-thy with everyone. Or pet them and receive feelings of euphoria in return (or would that get banned for being overly recreational?).
"The name's Deckard. I'm here to make sure those are real Risan pearls, not replicant pearls. Let me just set up my Voight-Kampf machine here and we'll know for sure."
Don't forget empathy for the student. I remember spending months (between starting in Sept. 2012 and when Legacy of Romulus went live) wishing I had someone to ask for help and not knowing anyone well enough to ask them (what? an FAQ for playing STO? blasphemy!). So I learned ... but slowly and painfully most of the time.…
Robot Wars (oh, wait, there's already all those Mech war MMORPGs already) Xena Hercules Dexter's Laboratory (to go alongside MacGyver) Speed Racer sounds like a fun idea. Lots of modding possibilities. Good suggestion, Galatt.
I keep remembering this quote and I think it ought to apply to (at least) STO: "It is a good thing that war is so terrible, else we should grow to enjoy it too much." I think a general said it, but not sure which one.
Story arc idea: The Alliance of FSP, Romulans (RSE and RR), and KDF loses the war against the Iconians. Homeworlds are oppressively occupied and heavily patrolled in sector space by Iconians. A rebellion simmers until it gains enough membership and enough equipment to attempt a coup. The Iconians cannot believe that…
Then someone will complain that that's not high enough. The cap needs to be increased to 600 ... or 700 ... or 800 ... or 900 ... or 1000. After all, it's only money, right?
