Because you have two primary camps there right now - the corpocratic old guard and the nationalistic new guard. The nationalists were never actually supposed to have power, they were just meant to be an easily manipulable voter base. It's not even the first time they've had an 'inmates running the asylum' situation because the exact same thing happened with racists when they tried the Southern Strategy.
There's also an orange-brown Kzinti on Lower Decks, one of the newer shows.
I wouldn't count that one. It's not just the names, the characters themselves have been borrowed for a crossover plot.
The problem (at least during the first two seasons, after which I gave up) is that the show bends over backward to make her right in the end.
I mean if he saves the day how is it unearned?
In the first couple seasons, the rest of the crew would suddenly become wildly incompetent to justify Wes being the one to save the ship. The show got much better about actually giving him strengths to play to later on.
The final season of PIC was fun, and the second one had some good moments, mostly with Q. But that first season was still being written as they were filming and the second season had part of its budget appropriated for the third season and it shows in both.
Civ6 also has issues with the Linux version due to Aspyr slacking. A bunch of the newer content hasn't been ported yet. Fortunately, you can force Steam to install the Windows version and run it with Proton.
I run a local account and toggled off all the telemetry stuff during installation nine years ago. Never saw one of those. Didn't even get toggled on with updates. Only problem I had was Copilot getting added a few weeks ago. By that time, Win10 had become the compatibility fallback for Linux, though.
So, create a local account, go into Settings, and toggle off everything that could maybe be telemetry related.
Being able to release on their own schedule instead of being made to crank out massive RPGs in eighteen months helped a lot.
The movie industry needs to do what steam has done. Make it more convenient to do it legally and people that have money will pay instead of stealing.
They had that. It was called Netflix. Then they got greedy and everyone decided to have their own Netflix. Now piracy has gone up.
I played Doom 4. I know where this is going.
After having printed the previous version of my poster and discovering that the overall darkness made it difficult to see when framed (light reflects off the glass or plastic and the glare kills it) I have done a bunch of post processing in the hopes that it will turn out better.
Inspired by this recent thread.
That one can be handwaved with alien psychology. Aliens think just like humans, except for when the plot calls for them not to. Humans psychological damage from repressing emotions, and vulcans get pon farr.
