The sky may be isn't a shitty mod. It's just an art game before it's time. Well... Okay no.

It's owlgas favorite doom mod though, heh.

That's probably because without the trope-support, the entire theme of the show would have shattered the federation idealism all to holy hell.

Voyager is hardly realistic in how it portrays the actions and behaviors of people under THAT kind of stress.

A realistic exploration of that idea would have made the whole idea of following federation rules and regs nonsensical, and thus would not really live up to "star trek" idealism, and would thus be even more red-headed than DS9.

True, and paramount wouldn't have that. Paramount kept nixing their scripts because of one reason or another, they couln't get it approved.  Perhaps the Gorn were in it when, according to the lore, they never were in that "sector of space in that time." Seriously, they had an entire group of people whose SOLE job was to go through all the old episodes, and write down every little detail. If something in voyager didn't mesh up with the forgotten lore, it was denied.

I mean, what is Star Trek without anal attention to tiny details 98% of the audience won't even notice?

The reboot.

Guess I won't be watching any youtube videos today.

That's not WTF at all if you've been following any tech news. Everyone should honestly uninstall or disable flash at this point. And last I heard youtube has all round support for HTML 5 now.

I get that. It's just that last time I tried it with the HTML5 player, 1080p60 was the only 1080p option available and it stuttered like crazy. Has that been fixed?

JUST realized who Cinder was before they were Cinder. HEYO Objective!

Also I choose to believe the name change was entirely because of that incident in my sigtext
This reminds me that some people still call me Objective.

And that it feels so weird being called Objective now. I mean, not really a bad kind of weird, but it's like somebody calling me Start or Oven or Table or something mundane. I mean, Cinder is also somewhat mundane but at least it sounds like Cindy?

Saw "What we do in the Shadows" last night. Great piece of Kiwi comedy, Rhys Darby was fantastic, especially for Flight of THe Conchords fans. Didn't recognise Jermaine Clement with the moustaches, for a bit.

Possibly the best comedy vampire docudrama I've watched.

I actually have exactly one person that's still calling me a variant of Janet.

They're allowed though, I kinda like how they shorten it too since well, Jan is actually unisex in several countries and I kinda like unisex/ambiguous names.

Oh yeah, really fun watch, definitely recommend it myself.

I *wanted* to call you Janet after you changed, since that's what I've always seen you as before, but decided not to since I'd assume you switched your name for some sort of reason other than just a whim.

No one here knows me by my original name, though. :v
I've had UXLZ since I joined this forum, but there's a name I have that's special and reserved for one place only.

I just hope I have nothing do with it.


I don't, right?Right?Tell me I don't!

Addend!

That's rather misleading, I can wreck a bigger havoc in your computer with javascript than with actionscript, this is more a issue of running around shady places.
