Steam because GOG does something to their games that makes most mods not work on them.

Gotta have my mods!

Just trying to figure out how much they can get away with

then immediately walk them back when they’re called out for it

this is how bullies operate. bold and loud but, ultimately, cowards with no conviction.

I thought someone might. I just happened to be watching it last night, so I remembered the power rating of the laser.

Great Scott!

for those wondering, the (fictional) laser in the 1985 film Real Genius that could vaporize a human target from space was 9.4 megawatts.

that’s technically not on a train

Oh, now that is good news! It looks like the community has been quiet/mostly inactive for a while, but has 3x the subscriber count as that other community! I’ve subscribed, and I’ll see what I can do about helping to make it more active!

woohoo!

yikes! what assholes!

yikes! what assholes!

TL;DR: because it sounded cool and more science fiction-y

what evidence is there that this is the case?

Mods on the Star Trek communities on StarTrek.world will delete (and ban you) for even the slightest negative opinion about the show Star Trek Discovery. Even if you say that you dislike the show, or that you think the writing is sub-par, or anything slightly minor and inoffensive, poof! Your comment is gone, and you’re banned.

It’s not a rule in the sidebar, which is most frustrating, too. All you get is “not constructive”, even though there are plenty of complaints about other things, some pretty abrasive. But one unadoring word about Discovery, and you and your comment vanish without warning.

I see mastodon users here once in a while. kbin users, too!

CEO is a massive bigot. no way
