By the cocks of Kahless! Are we able to disengage the safety protocols on this, or is that extra?

I'm not gonna spoil it, but you won't miss anything if you skip S02E22. That season "finale" is an unfortunate casualty of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike of 1988 and doesn't contribute anything of value to Trek lore. A zero rating is pretty harsh, though.

Oh yeah, TNG really finds its footing in season 3. You're gonna love it.

Ah, well I hope they appreciate the upgrayyed. It's def an improvement!

Funny you mention that, I was gonna make a reference to The Bad Place (reddit) recently, and I realized it can have additional meaning for a lot of us 10F'ers. We have like double internet refugee status lol

Ok, so I'm torn on this, the drop shadow/3d effect of your remaster makes it easier to read, but there's something really funny about the font you used in the original...you know those plastic alphabet letters with the magnets on the back that started off as a kids toy and are now used by adults as fridge magnets? Yeah, that's what the orig reminds me of. It just feels more effective from a trolling perspective.

But the color saturation and more effective type treatment in your remaster really makes it pop! And I hate using that word, it reminds me of my past life in marketing but it does fuckin pop off the screen like it's going to smack me in the face. It is undeniable and impossible to ignore. That rainbow is faaabulous

OG: 9/10

Remaster: 9.5/10

A+++++ good remaster would review again

Stacked is right! I just looked up the cast, and it's wild to see some of these names. I didn't know John Malkovich was in it?? I didn't pay any attention to this flick when it came out... I just heard it was ass and filed it under "Nah" in my head. Yeah, looks like the script was just unsalvageable.

Can't tell if joke, if not hope everything ok

Super versatile template, btw! Nice to see TAS get some love!

Holy feckin cannoli, this is terrifying. Does everyone in that universe sound like her too?

Also, nice work with the templates in the other post. I'm digging this recent book cover meta, there are so many possibilities!

Oh wow, homemade gravy sounds awesome. I'm eating Oreos before bed, and like, now all I want is gourmet poutine lol

Ah yeah, I can imagine it gets pricey depending on where you are in relation to the nearest local cheese curd makers. I'm pretty lucky, I can take a short drive to Wisconsin if I wanna stock up. It's crazy, like, once you cross the border, even at the gas stations there's so much cheese. So much cheese. It's everywhere!

Jawa21, are you from Canadia? Omg poutine is amazing, it's like the next natural evolutionary step of the fried potato. Has to have cheese curds, I've learned. I've had it with regular cheese before, and is that sacrilege? It tastes like sacrilege to me. Anyway yes fricken poutine is amaaaazing

Nah nah, FR though, mayo is low key awesome on fries

This whole thread is like, pure gold-pressed latinum. If Lemmy GPL was a thing, I'd GPL everyone in this thread. That just sounds wrong. I'd latinum everyone in this thread...yeah, that's better. I guess

These schmucks keep repeating "RICO" like it's some dumbass SovCit incantation or something.

Hey FlyingSquid! So, like, there are different types of mj aromas, which are solely dependent on the terpenes present in the plant. That's a documented thing. There's a over a hundred terpene types that can result in citrus, diesel, skunky, or woodsy smells, for example. However, as it's been pointed out already, plants have been cross-bred so much over the years that individually named strains don't always have their "known" unique characteristics these days. And that includes smell/aroma.

So yeah, it doesn't really matter anymore. I wouldn't put much stock in how flower smells, because it's largely inconsequential save for personal preference. I prefer citrus-y flower cuz it smells better to me. There's one strain I used to buy regularly from my dealer that had a really strong but pleasant grapefruit smell (and taste, just a little), it was awesome.

Also, wrt indica vs sativa... there's never been any scientific data that can back the claim that they provide different kinds of high, like energizing versus relaxing. It's just not true. Like the meme says, weed is weed.

You know what, you're right. I'll make sure child me from 30 years ago doesn't do it again.

I got this one.

We is condemning food ... things and supplies. Over!

I picked up Tekworld #1 eons ago, back when I was a young voracious comic book collector and would buy anything off the "New" shelf. I never bothered to read it...I figured it couldn't be worse than TJ Hooker, but it appears I was terribly mistaken. I'm sorry I contributed to this shitty franchise, I thought it would be worth a fortune when I got old (it's not).

Also, wrt:

I’m not sure how thankful I should be that someone made William Shatner’s TekWar more accessible to me, but at least I didn’t struggle with PGUP and PGDN to move my virtual neck.

Yeah, thank your lucky stars that gaming with a mouse became a fuckin thing, because hitting PGUP and PGDN to pan up & down sucked back then too.
