Isn’t this P3?

Ok, I really should. It was a major disappointment when I played at launch and looked everywhere for how to board the train and couldn’t find it.

I think it’s the harsh consonant sounds. I’m not a linguist and am sure there’s some term for it, but it seems like we identify words in English more from the distinct “framing” of the consonants and are more flexible about hearing variations in how the vowel sounds in between are pronounced.

For example, it’s the same reason that whispering (which largely takes out tone/pitch of vowel sounds) is super easy in English, but more difficult in some other languages.

Wait, does this mean they got the train working?! I haven’t played since early on.

I think it does a good job of showing the reality of how clunky integration of different groups can be, and how even in a future where humans have “solved” racism amongst themselves, it’s not a lesson that can be buried with the past yet.

The frustrations that the crew has with Spock’s behaviors that are baffling to them, and vis versa, how Spock feels (and frequently verbalizes) about what he thinks are human failings, are very real reflections of how different groups learn to understand each other better. The friction of their interactions is the point, as well as showing that they are incredibly loyal to each other and care about each other’s wellbeing at the end of the day.

This is the heart of Star Trek, in my opinion - seeing them actively grow together despite their occasional rude outbursts and misunderstandings.

I had to look up the exact exchange, because this line always makes me laugh too. Her tone, lol

KORBY: You think I could love a machine?

CHAPEL: Did you?

Start where it all began! The original is a fun watch.

Brutal… Omg, and it’s discover-mate when they capture.

I figure there was a pawn on g7 that the queen captured. No explanation for the magic horsey though.

Piefed has been going slow for me for the past week. Not sure why, so I just swapped back here for a few days and will try again soon.

I think that’s just the proper emotion after ingesting content on twitter.

It was just so much simpler then. Aside from the viruses.

It’s unironically my favorite tea. It has such a strong flavor.

I think about this all the time. And also with the loss of live TV being the norm, people aren’t being randomly exposed to older cultural touchstones unless they specifically seek it out, which makes the current culture feel more isolated.

I’m channeling this need to preserve into data hoarding now. I created a personal media server recently and have been filling it with everything I can find. Today, I found 14 old scifi/monster movies from the 50s/60s on old scratched DVDs to add, which was exciting.

That does help a little.

The thought of how much has been lost to time stresses me out in an existential way.

I haven’t played either and I love difficult games to the point that friends think I’m a masochist. (I’m not, just patient)

I’ll have to give them a shot.

I need to play this.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t!

Although it would be so old to them that it would be like us making a swordfighting game about Macbeth or something.

It’s nice to know that our memes live on into the 2300s.

Well that’s much better
