Yeah… there were a bunch of issues with the Virtual Boy.
A Sudo 3D experience on hardware that couldn’t handle 3D graphics, needed to be setup on a table, and a color palette that made the GameBoy seem high fidelity, never mind the red was horrid to stare at for too long.
It really was ahead of its time… in all the wrong ways.
I suspect, nothing less than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft going all in on their next generation console would be enough to bring VR mainstream. As in, the VR being the primary way to play.
Of the three, I can’t see Sony or Microsoft doing it.
Maybe Nintendo, as doing weird stuff is kinda their thing, but even that’s doubtful.
This is specific to the videogame-ish sub-genre, mostly Isakeis…
But you go out of the way to include RPG mechanics into your story… but the only real influence it has on the storytelling is spending an inordinate amount of time grinding… a mechanic explicitly added to RPGs to pad the game.
There are good video game based stories, Survival Story of a Sword King and Dungeon Reset both immediately come to mind… but I feel like this is a widespread problem.
They’re all beautiful shots, but something about them doesn’t leave me curious about their contexts. I wish I could articulate it better….
Like maybe it’s not enough of a tease?
Or maybe that you could’ve told me most of those shots were from S4 and I wouldn’t question it?
Or the lack of a contextual caption maybe?
Lethe. That's who I was thinking of. Like Cornwell was Lethe before she became Lethe.
Wasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?
I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.
If this is a joke, it’s going over my head. But as I understand it:
Geek: Socially Acceptable, Really smart about a particular topic, or in general. Nerd: Socially awkward, really smart about a topic or in general. Dork: Socially awkward, not especially bright.
Maybe maybe not? At the very least least it tells us where Carl dropped Georgiou off.

I would recommend two pins.
One being the season one you’re proposing… and a second for a focal episode to discuss and cycle it out every two days.
So for the first two days we’d focus on the first episode (episodes? It’s a two parter) then the pin would be swapped with the next episode.
This would allow more in depth discussion while acknowledging binge watching.
I feel like this is a large portion of the missing puzzle pieces. The difference between real world and advertised ICE stats are somewhat padded, but not significantly. You'd expect the hybrids to have a similar degree of discrepancy, but it's wildly out of range of expectations. It may simply be that the manufacturers are giving idealized stats, since while testing they would have access to their personal charger in a laboratory environment. But in the real world, owners cannot guarantee working/accessable chargers or even that they can charge at home, which would dramatically impact the results of this study.
Or at least, I'd assume that's the case in the US. I don't know what EU's charging infrastructure is like, where the study was preformed.
This is a large reason why I dreaded Apple making iOS apps a priority for the Mac. Everything wrong about the mobile model becomes a first class citizen.
