I don’t think that a forced esports league was going to prosper anyway. Things like EVO,l and pre-accusation MLG where the focus is independent of the game are where esports can flourish. It’s important to note that games change and interests shift, these “leagues” don’t have the staying power like traditional sports leagues.
With that said, Microsoft now owns the MLG name and assets, and could build that back up if they had interest.
Strange New Worlds (SNW) is the single best entry point for someone new to the franchise, and that’s a black mountain I’m willing to die on. It blends modern storytelling with the classic Trek formula, and since it’s basically a pickup of the original Pilot, it’s pretty darn close do the beginning of the timeline.
Strange New Worlds offers an accessible entry point that holds the same core as The Next Generation (TNG) or the original series (TOS). There’s only two seasons so far, but if you like it and are craving more, I recommend watching TNG afterwards, and continuing that line in order of series air date (DS9, VOY, ENT).
It’s easy for many of us to recommend our favorite series, or our own entry points, but the reality is most of Trek is dated and not a good place to start for someone used to modern television.
Not sure if /s, but Super Sonic was inspired by the super saiyan transformation, Sonic just happened to make it to American shores before DBZ. 🙃
When did Digg v4 happen? That’s how old my Reddit account is, and I wouldn’t be surprised if many Reddit refugees on Lemmy were on that same boat.
Probably the publisher. I think it costs a monthly fee to maintain on their end, so once the peak piracy / sales period ends almost every game has it removed.
I feel this - I’m renting a house that has a motion sensor built into the kitchen sink. Now when I’m over someone else’s house, i can’t turn on the sink without giving a magical wave first like I’m some kind of wizard displaced in time.
This was the weakest episode of the season so far, and I still loved it. I couldn’t get over the fact Uhura wasn’t confined to sickbay or quarters by mid episode, but the rest of it showcases why SNW is quickly becoming my favorite Trek series.
As someone who once had to work with Oracle databases and licensing as a part of their job, i will never willingly use another Oracle product.
I’m very happy with the 200-250 miles of range in my used Bolt, and haven’t run into any issues outside the seats not being the most comfortable on long trips. It fast charges slower then most current EVs, but i charge at home and haven’t used a fast charger in over a year. I wouldn’t recommend for colder climates because of the lack of heat pump, but in SoCal it’s been an amazingly affordable EV. Not the ideal roadtrip vehicle, but it gets the job done. Your mileage may vary.
I took a look at the GitHub repo, and at it’s core wefwef is using ionic (https://ionicframework.com/) and React. I’m very impressed with the performance and user experience, and I’m glad I chose a similar stack a few weeks ago when I started building my first app.
The building I worked at in the Chicago loop had showers for bike commuters. Might be a big city thing.
