This seems like one of the most bizarrely misjudged crossover promotions I think I’ve ever seen.

It’s only £25 and if it’s successful then it shows Paramount there’s a market for Trek games beyond the mobile pap we got for years. Same with Resurgence earlier in the year.

Played about an hour and a half last night. It seems essentially a glorified Trek themed Stellaris expansion. Which given it was only £25 quid I don’t mind too much.

Russia famously being an African nation.

It happens everywhere.

It’s an unfortunate side effect of an unequal society where people feel left behind and then see a lot of people who had the advantage and privilege to go though years of education lecturing them on how to live. This breeds resentment and makes them targets for movements and groups that oppose these ideas.

Yeah, but at the end of each one it proudly announces that Animated Trek only consists of LD and TAS.

It’s like someone made a Star Trek parody for Adult Swim in the mid 2000s and it somehow got left on the shelf for seventeen years before being recently discovered. That whole, take old cartoon footage and redub it was huge back then.

Yeah, that’s the irritating thing about P+, they think they’re worth the same as D+ a month with only one big franchise to their name. D+ brought together Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and Fox content before launching.

Same here, I was there day one watching legally when it was on Amazon, then they pulled the rug out from under me at the last moment, so now it gets torrented. Sorry Mike, blame your managers mate.

If one we had shows to appeal to a new audience, say an all ages CG animation, wouldn’t that be great eh Paramount?

The best Star Trek song is First Contact by Swamp Thing, I doubt Cudi will be able to pack as many references into his bars as they managed in that track.

You’re going to see more and more of this all over Europe. Nearly half a billion people have seen their quality of life drop in the last decade or so from the post 2008 austerity to the current post Covid inflation with governments seeming powerless to make anything better anymore, seeing their government then allow tons of new people in who need assistance, whether you understand their plight or not, rubs people the wrong way.

I know theres the argument that there’s plenty of money in the system to help all these people if it wasn’t being horded at the top bymillionaires and billionaires, but how we access that money is very complex and abstract and requires global cooperation that isn’t going to happen any time soon.

With countries pulling back on climate policies meaning climate change will continue to pick up leading to mass migration from no longer habitable equatorial areas, I fully expect to see guns on the beaches of the Mediterranean in my life time to push boats back.

I know it’s a horrible view of the future, but I don’t see anyone trying to find other solutions.

I get the theory but I don’t 100% agree with it. Just because someone doesn’t think rapid and massive change is the best way to bring society along with your ideas doesn’t mean they think massive right wing changes are any better.

I’ve seen Antifa and the Black Bloc disrupt otherwise peaceful protests in the UK long before they picked up in the US the other year. They’re not a helpful force in my opinion and never have been.

One party in one country in one time period does not a political philosophy make my friend. Maybe you’re Dutch and that’s your frame of reference, but that doesn’t dictate what the word means worldwide any more than the septic political situation does.

Ok, I’ll bite, link me to the definition of “centrism” that defines it as “fascist” then.

Yeah, I’m not a septic so I’m not going to view all political discussion by the framing of their two party system. You can argue American politics is broken, and I’d even argue there’s some huge issues with the politics in my country right now too, but that doesn’t mean you can just redefine language and concepts to suit you.

Reminds me of all the “if you don’t agree with antifa smashing up your city you must agree with the fascists” nonsense the other year. No, I don’t want facism, I just don’t think that bricking a Starbucks is going to help with that.

There’s a big different between centrism and apoliticalism. Apolitical people are targeted by fascist/authoritative movements as they lack the understanding of the issues at play and are suckered in by easy answers, centrists understand the issues but don’t think an extreme left/right solution is the answer but elements from both sides should be considered.
