Really shows the point of the API change isn't even money when they ignore potential customers. The point has always been to kill the 3rd party ecosystem.
Yeah the Presonus Eris are prolly the best reference monitors in their price range. Not sure monitors are the best option for OP though since they're meant to not color or enhance the sound like regular speakers. I don't really have a regular speaker recommendation though since I've been a headphones guy for like ever. So *shrug*
Well my hope that the show would go beyond just being mid-tier at best has not been met with this opener. But then when Akiva "Hack" Goldsman's name is attached as the writer that's to be expected I guess. My main takeaways from this episode:
WTF is with the super soldier serum? Never before in Trek has this stuff been mentioned or used. Not even in THIS SHOW's previous season when it could have come in handy or even saved lives multiple times. Why TF aren't all officers carrying a hypospray of this syrum at all times? I'm calling this stuff Bullshit Juice from now on.
Why the holy goddamn hell are they trying to introduce another war arc? Strange New Worlds was supposed to be the optimistic TOS/TNG style show. This whole episode was pretty much darkness that hinged on fighting and blowing up ships.
Pike, the captain of the ship, is in this episode for one scene at the start then fucks off to go see Una. Another first because there has never been a Star Trek show that started a season without it's captain. Pike was sidelined a whole lot in season one as well. I'm starting to think he's a guest star in his own show.
And why the Gorn??? This pre-TOS show is threatening a Gorn war story when Kirk in TOS didn't know that species at all when the Metrons force him to fight one. Young Kirk is on this show. What the fucking fuckity fuck?
This show seems to be getting worse, just when I thought nuTrek couldn't disappoint me more.
If I get extremely manic one day I might redesign that table for ya Cicero.
Could use sortable columns and table headers that scroll with the page, maybe alternating row highlight as well. Only if I'm feeling manic though, most days I'm a lazy dev.
DS9 was the most un-Star Trek series of the pre-2005 shows. TNG was the closet to Roddenberry's vision, and Voyager despite it's flaws and a really bad start with the Kazon arc developed into a refinement of everything made TNG great IMO. That's not to say DS9 isn't awesome in it's own right but there's a very un-Roddenberry strand of darkness and cynicism in DS9 that has plagued the franchise ever since. Enterprise couldn't really even shake it off and that might be what doomed that show. Well that and the theme song.
There was a massive influx of normies during the GameStop saga, millions of them, prior to that Reddit had multiple blackout protests for a few different causes that either got results or had more participation than this one. I think the site being overrun with people who don't really care about Reddit like that and just want their content fix has tipped the balance in favor of users who'll just take whatever Spez is dishing out so long as they can scroll r/aww on new.reddit.com like an absolute pleb.
Just my take on it though, the site just generally felt more unified a few years back IMO.

They need more subs to join the protest. RN reddit's algo is promoting the subs that didn't go dark to make it look like business as usual.

Nice. I have it on a playlist I listen to every now and then. Song rocks.
A lot of the subs are saying they're blacked out indefinitely. Guess we'll see which ones really have the cahones to keep at it.
I checked out kbin, was surprised how active it was but didn't join. I dunno, Mainchan just has more soul or something.

Ha, Angus everyone knows your shart shaft is all loose and flappy.
I like the sequel, "Dropping Acid and Going to the Park" as well.
