You can do that in inkarnate but only with the subscription. Uploading as a stamp would probably be the best way because then you could move and size like you want, plus you could tweak the opacity to trace over it more easily.

That’s awesome. I think I had three Human Valkeries ascended before I had success with another combination. Your orc wizard must’ve been so hungry in the early game!

I also think it’s fairly weak overall but there are some really great outstanding episodes. Blink of an Eye, Counterpoint, Scorpion, for some examples. And I also agree that the worst Voyagers are really very bad, but are they that much worse than other series’ follies? Is Threshold worse than Code of Honor? Sacred Ground worse than Turnabout Intruder? Fair Haven worse than Profit and Lace?

Yep, I fully agree. At the tail end of Sarek’s life we learn he loved Spock. He doesn’t tell or show Spock ever, which would qualify him as a terrible parent by human standards but he’s a Vulcan so maybe that’s not how he should be judged. What Sarek also doesn’t do is end his feud with Spock which I think is a perfectly good standard on which to judge a Vulcan parent. So while I love Sarek as a character he’s a bad dad.

Sarek is on there. Really. Sarek. The first one. Sarek was an awful dad to at minimum three children.

This cookie feels heavy, as if there’s some paper inside. There seems to be some sort of communiqué!

Aaaah, rusty and dull!

Also from before the Simpsons got their 742 Evergreen Terr address.

NRA4EVR, one of the hundreds of radical right wing messages in every episode

Since other people already got the joke I’ll grab the point for the ‘A’ plot: this one is the one where Lisa wants to go to the Isis exhibit. Marge has to take Bart to the hospital so Lisa wants to take a bus by herself.

And that one looks like our town founder, Jebidiah Springfield. Without the head of course.

Homer the Smithers when Smithers is looking up keywords to find his replacement (monstrously ugly)?

I actually think the episode itself is quite good. The framing of the episode, the part where the dinos left earth and ended up in the delta quadrant, is just awful and follows a long terrible tradition of Trek not even having a cursory understanding of evolution. But the storytelling is good. Learning about both the Voth and Voyager from the perspective of Voth scientists is good. Having them be much more advanced than Voyager and then actually showing that is a nice change of pace. The moralizing part is good too: respecting the journey for scientific truth even is important, though the message is a little muddled because the science of the episode is so hilariously wrong. A Chakotay heavy plot without any sky spirits is nice. The Voth were relatively good looking aliens for the time.

I think if it were rewritten just a little bit it’d be a top 10 Voyager episode.

I quite like StarSector too. It clearly owes a lot to the Escape Velocity series which I love.

StarSector’s focus on colony management is super fun though. The recent patch was also quite good and seemed to add more story elements which I appreciate. I appreciate the unique looking ships even though some of them end up looking very ugly.

I love working with the AIs. Smuggling them, integrating them into colonies, doing other spoilery things with them. I wish there were deeper mechanics there and more story too, but that could still happen.

I go back to Super Metroid about once a year. I just get a yearning to hear the moody music and see the alien scenery.

Fairly sure that part is from Schisms where Riker and other crew members are being abducted while they sleep by aliens. At this point he knows he’s going to be abducted and has taken some stimulants to stay awake so he decided to get abducted in his uniform rather than his sleeping clothes.
