No, you can fly it. The thing is, manually piloting your ship sounds like it's not used for transportation, only for combat and docking/boarding other ships and space stations. But those things are apparently pretty fun.

This looks amazing. It's time for psychedelic and dream imagery in video games to come back.

The ones that I find myself going back to the most in the last decade are indie classics. Hyper Light Drifter, Kerbal Space Program, FTL: Faster Than Light (I just realized all these titles sound similar, but they're a 2D character action game, a spaceflight simulator/shipbuilder, and a very unique strategy game, respectively, and they're all among the best in their genres). Also, as a horror game fan and a Resident Evil fan in particular, I keep replaying the Resident Evil 2 remake from 4 years ago; easily one of the best horror games ever made.

I don't know if scandals can really discredit a religion, this is mostly not how cult beliefs work; they seem to gain adherents largely through manipulation and force, which are not holds that a scandal is very effective at breaking. I'd suggest the results that Madison is citing are not the results of scandals but instead of rising levels of education and living standards, which do in fact break the hold of cults (by decreasing general ignorance and increasing emotional well-being, and thereby reducing the desperation that makes people vulnerable to dependence on authoritarianism and other comforting lies in the first place).

However, he does bring up a point against Christianity that I like at the beginning. I've heard Christians say that clergy are less likely than laymen to go to heaven, an admission that they observe corruption in those who are supposed to be closest to God. So where is the ennobling influence of the Holy Spirit? Where is God's discernment in picking the virtuous to represent him? The corruption of the clergy is a pretty solid bit of evidence against religion.

I’ll bet that any TOS fans who were furious at the time probably did not go on to like the show.

As a TOS fan who wasn't too happy with what I had heard before TNG came out, I would bet against you. Most of them probably became TNG fans eventually, because the most impactful thing a show can do is simply to be great. Canon complaints and complaints about characters not returning are mostly about nostalgia, and if the show is compelling (especially if it's compelling in a similar way to the old show), nostalgia can't compete. If anything I'd guess that the people in this article were more likely to become fans of TNG, because it would have exceeded their expectations, which can make things seem better than they would otherwise.

It isn't a given that a game company will always get to work on a new game right after they release one, much less two new games.

I don't see them as replacing the originals, although I guess in a sense they are. It would be one thing if they weren't as good as the originals, but they're arguably better. I've been a Resident Evil fan since 1996, I thought the original was better than Resident Evil 2 (which was an unpopular opinion at the time), but right now, if you ask me the best game in the series that I've played so far? RE2 Remake. Don't even really have to think about it much.

Because they struck a deal with the media companies in that case. That hasn't happened with Canada. They're gonna do it this time, and I'm sure Canada will be fine without getting its news through Facebook.

The Justice Department has to be able to indict people, that's part of its function. And the DoJ is part of the executive branch. A good President will not use the DoJ for his personal political purposes, but the incentive to do so, if it was there, would be extremely powerful. I think it's probably a good idea to remove it. If the people can't be trusted not to vote for a criminal or a traitor, we have bigger problems.

How does someone like this even get near a mainstream party in the US?

All it takes to be a Democrat is to check a box when you register to vote (same for any other party in the US). There is nothing stopping anyone who wants to from running for the Democratic nomination. Needless to say, he isn't endorsed by the Democratic Party and doesn't have any real popular support. As for why he wants to be known as a Democrat--I'm not an expert on the guy but I do know that he is one of the children of the Kennedy dynasty from the '60s; the Democratic Party is part of his brand, I suppose. He is not a serious candidate, he is almost certainly running specifically to raise his profile and increase the number of followers he has as a professional conspiracy grifter (which has been his occupation for decades now).

They always justify it with conspiracy theories about how the chosen minority victim is secretly trying to harm them. "Think of the children" is an especially popular tactic.
