Just a heads up for anyone intrigued by the discussions, there’s a 5 game Deus Ex bundle on Steam that’s on sale for less than $10 right now!

Very interesting! I had been planning to look up the episode to see for sure, but I forgot to do it.

The pronunciation they ended up going with rolls off the tongue a little easier for me, so maybe that was the reason. I don’t remember the first DS9 episode to mention it, but I remembered it being in 2x21 The Wire, so I looked that up. https://www.st-minutiae.com/resources/scripts/441.txt By this point it had been changed to the more common version.

The Elder Scrolls Online has been my go to for the weekend so far, it’s something I enjoy dropping in and out of sometimes.

I’m pretty sure it never showed up again! This was also the only episode they pronounced kanar as kaynar instead of kuhnar. I’d have to look through the episode to be sure, but I think the Cardassian phasers were also a different color than the orange they were in later appearances.

It’s always interesting to see how they change things as they see what works. It does make me wonder what the original pronunciation of kanar was though. Did the actor read it wrong, or did they change it!

After staring at my screen for 45 minutes trying to pick a game for the weekend, I decided to start up The Sims 3 again. Just like always, the addiction is back! It seems like at least once or twice a year I go really hard on it for about a week.

This is part 3 of their series, and this part is specifically centered around smaller games. Some of the games you mentioned were in parts 1 and 2.

Endless Sky has sucked up large chunks of time from me over the years! Definitely recommend it if anyone hasn’t tried it yet. I’ve worked on several mods for it over the years, and that’s lots of fun as well.

I’m pretty sure I’ve bought Astrox Imperium, but I’ve never tried it. I’ve got so many other games I still enjoy playing that it’s often hard to start a new one!

The idea of Eve was always very interesting to me, but I’ve never tried it. The whole aspect of the massive battles wasn’t what I was looking for, I was just interested in the mining and building end of it. I could never tell if I would be able to do that without getting blown up all the time, and never wanted to invest the time in trying it without knowing. I ended up doing something similar in RuneScape. I spent most of the few years I played crafting and selling products and sometimes going on quests.

Ah, got it! I agree on Dukat too, I just haven’t seen any other TV series with a villain that good.

Because it’s Into Darkness, or because it’s Star Trek?

Lower Decks!

Since you mentioned the XT100, what do you think about the lack of the large right hand grip versus your D750? I like the retro aesthetic, but I’ve got larger hands and I’m unsure of how comfortable it would be long term.

That was my viewpoint on it as well. I don’t want to invest too far only to switch accessories a few years down the road.

Have you run into any caveats while using the adapter? I’ve heard comments about adapters sometimes causing issues with EXIF data, but I could easily see that being caused by cheaper adapters.

If they kept it similar to SNW I would watch a spin-off with Wesley as lead, but I would much rather see a show with none of the legacy characters. I have enjoyed his take on Kirk in the appearances we’ve seen so far, but he could just as easily be a different character without changing much of the story.

I would personally enjoy seeing something new, like a series on a small exploration/medical ship. No huge stakes or galaxy ending crisis happening, just one little ship solving problems around the quadrant. Maybe transfer a few of the SNW specific characters like Ortegas and La’an if they want continuity, but a brand new cast would be great too. But that’s just me, and Paramount didn’t ask me to be a writer!

Good to hear! I’ve been watching your game for a while and just waiting until it arrived on Steam. Just wishlisted!

First of all, thanks for the giveaway!

My first Star Trek game was actually Star Trek Online, but I’ll probably always have a soft spot for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Crossroads of Time for the SNES.

I’m definitely happy to see Resurgence coming to Steam though, I don’t buy from anyone except for them and GOG.

Great news! I will admit to having too many Eaglemoss ships, but I’m hoping Fanhome makes some great looking ships too. It never hurts to have a few more!
