This Is Why Bryke Didn’t Want To Introduce Guns In The Legend Of Korra.

Fun fact: in the early stages of production for “The Pegasus”, the script initially called for the titular Pegasus to be a new ship design that was essentially a Ambassador-era take on the Miranda/Nebula-class hull profile. However, budget and time constraints led the TNG team to go with an Oberth instead. All that exists of this original Pegasus is an quick sketch Rick Sternbach did, and it’s neat to see it come to life in a roundabout fashion through this model.

I’m just reblogging this to tag on a recommendation for Gemma Files’ novel Experimental Film, a horror story about Lady Midday and the forgotten world of hobbyist silent filmmakers at the dawn of the 20th century. (Plenty of female characters to boot as well!)

You’ve made it through a difficult year, and Picard is proud of you for that!

Deathloop is a weird one because it takes place in "a possible future" of the Dishonored series. The game is set about 130 years after the first two games on an out-of-the-way island outpost that's been completely cut off from the rest of the world via time nonsense, and while there's enough incidental detail for a Dishonored fan to make the connection, Deathloop itself goes out of its way to avoid namedropping anything from the earlier games.

More games should do the Disco Elysium/Deathloop thing of pretending that they're in our world before gradually revealing that it's a constructed world that has fuck-all to do with our world

And in another parallel with Disco Elysium, Kathryn Janeway’s psyche is also composed of 24 self-aware archetypes, 18 of which are actively trying to drive her to destruction.

Where did this picture come from? It can’t be a player’s ship, since the game’s naming system won’t let you name a ship Enterprise, Defiant, or Voyager or use their registry numbers.

I don’t know much about opera in general, but I always thought stories about power struggles in the Kremlin in the days of the Soviet Union would make good opera fodder. Larger than life personalities, plots and counterplots, occasional bloodshed; how could it miss?

Hey, there’s an opera about Nixon’s visit to China; anything’s possible nowadays.

What are some things you think would make good opera plots?  Pull from whatever source- anime, pro-wrestling storylines, telenovelas, whatever.  What’s the season program for the Martian Opera House?
