Yeah, did that too. I kind of didn't want to try again after that.

I agree on all counts.

Lower Decks is a five-season love letter to Trek and fandom. It sometimes even manages to hit pretty hard. And the crossover with Strange New Worlds is my favorite Trek episode ever, and I've been literally watching Trek since I was a baby (my mom is a big fan, and watched the original series all the time when I was a kid. It was a relief when Next Gen came out, because, yay, new Trek!). "Those Old Scientists" was a joyous celebration of Trek fandom on every level.

As for Powerless, yes, it was massively underrated. It was a tribute to superheroes and how ridiculous they are while still being loving toward them. It was a shame we didn't get more of that series.

I have no hope, only fantasies that people will come to their senses someday. Hope? Nah.

Bad news about depression. The clinical kind? The stuff you're describing? We don't have a cure yet. We have stuff that will alleviate symptoms and allow a person to live an almost normal life, but it doesn't cure it. Worse, you might find a medication that seems to fix it, but your body may eventually adjust to it and the depression will come back.

Talk to your psychiatrist. They should have some suggestions that might help.

I've had to deal with depression my entire life. The fight is constant and real. Don't give up.

Right, I understand you now. You are being pedantic about the definition of Kessler Syndrome, assuming people are using it to refer to a permanent status. Gotcha.

In short, you don't disagree, you just aren't using the same words to mean the same thing as everyone else, leading to confusion and conflict.

Kessler Syndrome, even if it "only" lasts a few years, would be devastating. That is what people are worried about, and that is what could happen, even with low earth orbits. Given big enough pieces of debris, the "any significant period of time" you refer to could certainly be significant enough to cause lasting problems.

Just to be clear... you believe because the satellites are low enough that they will only last a few years, that they cannot run into each other and cause a cascading effect of debris? I mean, sure, the cascading effect (Kessler Syndrome) might only last a few years, but it still could happen, couldn't it? Or is there something special about them that means they can't actually accidentally run into each other and break apart, with the pieces hitting other satellites and breaking apart...?

I'm not sure why these satellites being in low orbit protects them from the laws of physics.

Miez has helped me to get through the day. Please give another scritch for me.

Interesting stats in the statistical analysis: "The most decisive contest was for Best Game or Interactive Experience, where the winner got 47.0% of nominating votes and 42.7% of final ballot first preferences, winning on the fourth count of a possible six."

The other finalists were Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Chants of Sennaar, DREDGE, Alan Wake 2, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

A "save Karlach" DLC that takes into account all your choices during the main game... like, did you rescue the Gondians? Did you kill Raphael so the House of Hope is available? Did Tav and Wyll go with Karlach? Did you romance Karlach (I want SPICY)? I'd want lots more lines from Karlach and a frigging dancing scene with her at some point, because Karlach just begs to be danced with.

In my mind, the story would have to range all over the world, and we'd finally see the upper city and some of the other places visited in the previous games. Add in more potential companions, and some hard choices to make it interesting. I think my fantasy would basically make it into a BG4, so I know it'll never happen.
