Haar, none of those pictures you posted are Star Wars.
Better? 😉
I’m literally laughing out loud. ;D
I’m just… wow, that’s hilarious.
Our so-called president is a certifiable moron.
Fixed more.
Fixed morer.
Been playing Stardew Valley on Switch. It’s really enjoyable.
Remind me again why Mike Pence would make a horrible President?
I don’t yet have any interest in the switch. When I finish playing through the twilight princess remake for wiiu I plan on picking up breath of the wild for the wiiu.
Hey, how’s that going? How much have ya played and how do ya like it?
Progress in Twilight Princess is slow since I only play it when my dad is over, but the last time I played it I had just beaten the temple of time and I think I have to go to the sky next. I absolutely love it but I’m only doing the main quest so there’s huge areas of the overworld I haven’t even been to because I’m just not somebody that likes to do sidequests.
Sticking to the main quest makes TP more enjoyable -IN MY OPINION- (I’m sure a certain someone will still pop in to argue this 😉 ).
If that “certain someone” is me, being that I’m big on Zelda, whether someone is completionist or otherwise is up to them.
However, I will say this: Breath of the Wild’s storyline is almost a sidequest in and of itself, given that almost everything in the game is entirely optional. Yes, you can do the “Main Quests”, but that’s not really the point of the game. Whereas Twilight Princess will take you on a linear path through the story, Breath of the Wild will most certainly not, and you will have to deliberately avoid things in the game to complete the main story, which will then only run you a couple dozen hours instead of a hundred or more.
Suffice it to say, whether you do only the main storyline in previous 3D Zeldas is up to you, but in Breath of the Wild I would strongly advise against it. I would bet you real money you’ll think the game to be highly overrated if you do it that way.
To Whom it May Concern:
Can I be a Mod?
Please make me a Mod.
That is also assuming the people yelling “Boycott the NFL” actually boycotted the NFL.
I really think the NFL changing their policy was just a business decision and not in fear of action by the government. If they made that decision because the alternative was unpopular, that’s different from fearing a tweet from Trump.
But it’s not. The only way out to where?
The only way out of this mess? That’s not a threat.Again, a threat would include “or else.” As in some (either vague or specific) governmental action would be exacted against the NFL. “The only way out” does not suggest any action other than Trump continuing to tweet at them.
The only way “the only way out” could be a threat would be if the NFL was already threatened and there was “the only way out” to prevent continuation of the current threat.
Trumpy already has his minions chanting boycott NFL. You don’t think the team owners are afraid for their wallets?
I don’t know, but that’s not the same thing. If the NFL thought they would lose money by allowing it to continue and therefore changed their policy, that’s not the same as threat of action by the government to suppress freedom of expression.
Besides that, Trump is an idiot. He can make an empty threat (as he actually does seem to have done, given NeverarGreat’s recent post) but that doesn’t mean the government actually has the legal standing to back it up. If the federal government actually went after the NFL’s non-profit status (which I didn’t know they had), in response to the NFL franchise employees protesting the government, I’m pretty sure the NFL could countersue over it.

What could encapsulate the spirit of “Land of the free and home of the brave” better than a rule that forces citizens to behave EXACTLY the way that the powers-that-be tell them to, with any slight deviation from excepted norms being be met with summary punishment.
It’s not a law that the government has mandated against citizens.
I never said it was. I was talking about the policy not being in the spirit of what the anthem is about.
chyron was not referring to you. He was referring to NeverarGreat.
By quoting me and posting it before NeverarGreat had made his post? FAKE NEWS!
Yeah, I was actually responding to his post about it being BS in the context of your post. But I didn’t quote both posts because yours had the relevant context of the conversation.
But it’s not. The only way out to where?
The only way out of this mess? That’s not a threat.

The only way “the only way out” could be a threat would be if the NFL was already threatened and there was “the only way out” to prevent continuation of the current threat.
That’s not a threat.
A threat would be something like “Set a rule that you can’t kneel during our National Anthem or else.”
How did the government threaten the NFL? How can the government threaten a company for disrespecting the flag? Burning the flag is actually legal. It’s frowned upon, but it’s legal under federal case law. The federal government can’t stop a company from letting its employees protest against the government. It’s the company itself who can decide whether that is appropriate corporate policy.

It’s not a law that the government has mandated against citizens. It’s a rule of corporate policy mandated against their employees.
The company openly expects a given behavior in a certain circumstance, and to not do so warrants disciplinary action. Citizens are within their legal rights to not follow such rules (ie. it’s not a criminal offense), but they are also not required to work there. To discipline an employee on the grounds of what the company perceives as behavioral misconduct, is not a crime. We may disagree with that specific corporate policy, but it is not in and of itself a ridiculous notion.
It’s actually not BS. The company does not want you to protest in that fashion, and they are within their rights to tell you that you can’t. In my mind, this was inevitable. Either kneeling/sitting was eventually going to become mainstream to the detriment of its own purpose and the dignity of the anthem; or the company was going to say “We get your point, now knock it off.” I’m okay with it being the latter.
But the reason Ripper is used is to store and process a complete navigational chart with extremely accurate vectors, in lieu of one stored in the database and processed by the computer core, because apparently their navigational computer alone was not sufficient to perform such an apparently intricate task. I would figure the Binars from TNG would have been able to solve that problem without using a sentient being–if not the Daystrom Institute or some such.
The reason why Starfleet doesn’t readily adopt transwarp/slipstream/et al.—that is, faster-than-warp-9.999-technologies—in the 3 TNG-era series is, I think for the sake of story-writing purposes that don’t actually make sense when put to some real-world level of scrutiny. Simply put, it’s a plothole.
Anyways, my point is not so much that TNG doesn’t utilize such a technology, so much as it is that the crew of of the Enterprise D didn’t think it was possible—when in fact if DSC was part of Prime then it had been for centuries—with the one niggling point being significantly better processing power and more storage space than what Discovery has.

ummm…
Now, the world don’t move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he’s a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.But they got, Diff’rent Strokes.
It takes Diff’rent Strokes.
It takes Diff’rent Strokes to move the world.Everybody’s got a special kind of story;
Everybody finds a way to shine.
It don’t matter that you got not alot.
So what?
They’ll have theirs, you’ll have yours, and I’ll have mine.
And together we’ll be fine!'Cuz it takes Diff’rent Strokes to move the world,
Yes it does.
It takes Diff’rent Strokes to move the world.
No, it doesn’t say anything like that.
It’s not “anti social-mobility”. It’s anti-classist. And that’s the whole point of the show itself.
I remember watching this show when I was a kid. It’s good stuff.
In Trek Prime, the Traveller warped the Enterprise D to the Kalium Galaxy
So the Prime Universe is one and same as the Stargate movie universe?
I don’t know how to feel about that.
Oh, crap. Okay I must have had Stargate on the brain since I’ve been watching through SG-1 again.
Anyway, the Enterprise D warped to the far side of Galaxy M33, the Triangulum Galaxy. This would in fact be closer (albeit the Kalium Galaxy is fictional), but again the Enterpise crew was amazed at the feat when logic dictates that Discovery should have been able to get there centuries earlier with technology of Starfleet’s own then-present-day making. Which means Discovery is not Trek Prime.
How are you folk hosting images these days? One drive and Google images are not doing the necessary for me.
Imgur. It’s basically the image hosting side of Reddit.
[Discovery] is certainly not Trek Prime (and not just in style, but also for plot-related reasons) […] nor is is quite Kelvin either
I just watched DSC episode 4, and it is firmly not Prime as far as the tech goes. Apparently, the unique thing about the ship itself is that, in addition to a traditional warp drive, it has a working drive engine that can transport the ship to anywhere in the universe in the literal blink of an eye so long as they have the ability to store and input navigational vectors correctly.
In Trek Prime, the Traveller warped the Enterprise D to the Kalium Triangulum Galaxy—not to mention also what they assumed at the time was the actual edge of the universe—and being able to do so was a downright inconceivability to everyone involved except the Traveller himself (and maybe Wesley). So the fact that Discovery, which existed centuries earlier, has a working drive engine that can outstrip even Voyager or the Enterprise E—that means the show itself can not take place in the Trek Prime Universe.
If it were, Starfleet would have figured out how to implement such a drive in more ships by the 24th century, especially given that the technology they use in DSC was not (reported as of yet to be) stolen from the future so no timeline meddling would have been of concern.
Ugh, this picture emphasizes my fatness, and I look about as tired as I feel, plus I hadn’t shaved, but this is the real me in my office.
Are you the only one who can’t see it?
Maybe it’s better that I keep hidden 😉
I can’t see it either.
Petition to Disney to sell the rights to Monkey Island back to Ron Gilbert.
No. Captain Ed Mercer actually is a pretty good character.
And episode 4 wasn’t rampant with dick jokes. Well, it did have a couple, but the main one was a Data-esque gag where an offhand comment was made that the robot character didn’t understand and kept awkwardly bringing up.
And again, episode 4 of The Orville was really good. It really feels like an actual Trek episode.
I just finished Shovel Knight: Spectre of Torment. It was a good game with an interesting story, though the story was a bit hard to follow at times. I much prefered the gameplay of Spectre of Torment over that of Plague of Shadows.
Good folk - please lay off using words like ‘dick’ when criticising or critiquing fellow members.
