The reason people like lower deck so much is because it was obviously written by an actual Star Trek fan rather than someone trying to write generic science fiction and then slap a Star Trek aesthetic on top. Which was what discovery was like in the early days.

Oh come on it's not that people hate new Star Trek shows it's that they hate badly written Star Trek shows. There's plenty of examples of Star Trek shows that people love.

It's in everyone's interest really. They were absolutely eating through the crayon budget

And I'm sure the selection process will be entirely random and will absolutely not be exclusively limited to 20-year-old women.

Oh yes absolutism, the most useless of all philosophies.

What's hilarious about all this is if you actually go there and look out to see you can barely even see the wind turbines.

So they failed and then went on to, scam.

I mean to be honest that seems they are redefining failure.

Are these guys relevant in 2026? I feel like they're not.

You do realise the PS5 is just a computer chip right you can get the same graphics card that's in the PS5 (don't because you can get better ones now). I know all the marketing was about how amazing it was but honestly much of that came from the fact that it was finally using an SSD rather than their stupid old HDDs which were obsolete even for the PS4

It's also what elite dangerous does when travelling between star systems. If you actually fly over to a system (it takes forever but there are a few star systems that are close enough to each other that you can actually legitimately do that within a couple of hours) it doesn't work because you skipped the loading zone. You just end up in empty space where they should be a star. But if you then jump to it, suddenly there's a star even though your coordinates are exactly the same.

Yeah I mean does anyone really want every game to become fallout? It is unbelievably irritating having to redo a level that has like six loading zones within 2 minutes.

There's a video on YouTube showing a breakdown of the level streaming in The new resident evil game and it's clever because it's just hidden by doors and corners.

I think games use a lot more level streaming the people realise and yeah it absolutely doesn't need to be a narrow passageway.

Yeah you can tell because the comment doesn't really say anything. It's just a lot of text but no actual meaning.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
