Given the country’s past, they’re now so incredibly averse to anything that could even be vaguely construed as criticism of jewish identity and sovereignty (by the Israeli government) that they will bend over backwards to defend all sorts of nonsense.
As a Brit, the analogy I’ve always enjoyed is that living in Canada vs the USA is like owning a nice apartment above a crack den. Although, I can’t speak to the validity of said statement.
I enjoyed my time with resurgence. I can’t see non-trekkies enjoying it because TBH, the controls, combat, and mini-games are all frustratingly awful. However, the story, characters, and choices were all great! I was slightly disappointed overall though. I was hoping it would be unequivocally great and demonstrate a market for more Trek games, but it’s clearly lacking in some areas and didn’t have much impact upon release.
Right, I forgot it was epic exclusive on PC. That definitely will not have helped. I played it on console and it definitely suits a relaxed TV playing experience, like playing an episode.
Yeah, tanking a district makes that area harder and doesnt feel great; however, if you don’t kill any of them, the combat is really hard because you’re under levelled. So you have to make moral judgements and choose who is “best” to kill.
Couldn’t agree more. Good point about Bones and Scotty, Stamets has that maverick energy. He’s not captain material, but it’d be incredibly boring if every character was
That’s just the campaign. They’ll slap an 8/10 on the multiplayer and call it a day. It’ll sell gang busters again, then when they do the same thing again next year, no-one will bat an eye.
I quite like that her romance story is an inversion of the typical typical Mass Effect, sex is the prize, type story. She’ll jump you with little effort. you get closer and she wants to fight you, but the real pay off is when she let’s her guard down and allows herself to be tender and be loved. It’s quite lovely.
The inconsistent size of Jeffrie’s tubes is one of the things I love about the franchise. Sometimes crawl through them, sometimes run. Who fucking knows!
There are definite themes of ‘old’ or ‘ancient bloodlines’ making better or stronger men and elves, as arda generally declines in many ways. Look at Númenor and its genetic legacy. It’s a short leap for fascists and racists towards blood and racial purity nonsense, and the decline of, or assault on, so called ‘Western civilisation’ from the ‘hordes’ of eaterlings and haradrim. It’s a narrow minded and surface level view of the literature, but morons aren’t exactly known for their media literacy.
Absolutely, it’s worth talking about since it’s not a new phenomena with Tolkien’s work. We should be mindful of these kinds of interpretations and be clear about how we, as a community, respond.

How about consolidating some of the vegan communities? You concentrate the user base (which hopefully means more consistent content and less repetition) and get more mods in one place. I know other communities have done this successfully, but it’s dependent on mods agreeing, so maybe not that easy.
