  • I ALWAYS skip enterprise, I never skip the others.

    I get that they were trying for something different, I can even appreciate using a folksy ballad that doesn’t have all is the “formality” of classical music the same way Starfleet of the time doesn’t have all the formality of later treks. I even personally find it to be a cool idea on paper, but for some reason it just didn’t land with me.

    It’s jarring when it SHOULDN’T be. Even the closing credits get a "WhoOoAawhatthefuuuuOh."reaction out of me every time the music starts. Like, it takes until almost the fourth note on the credits before I go "oh yeah, they do this.

    I still watch the credits, though.

    I thought quest64 happened because square told nintendo to go pound sand, released FF7 on the PS and left previously-leader-of-the-jrpg-pack nintendo with fuck all?

    like, snes had TONS of good rpg’s, and the 64 had nothing, despite people clamoring for the things.

    I seem to recall it was intended to fill a gap and was instead used to prove “see? Nobody likes these games!”.









  • It’d be cool, but I think any youtube clone that doesn’t have a large dedicated takedown staff is going to have a hard time sticking around. That and the fact that the servers would overheat due to lack of airflow as the building they’re housed in is buried under a mountain of printed out and snail mailed DMCA violation notices make things problematic.

    Then there’s the order of magnitude increase in resources required to serve up the content.

    Add to that the fact that the reason most content creators are on youtube is for the monetization portion of their platform and it’s a tall order to replicate something on that level.

    That being said, an alternative of some kind for non-copyrighted content would be awesome.
