it has a lot of different names, not sure if that will help or hinder

Yup not an ideal situation to spur on planning and preparation. They can’t scale up quickly enough in the relevant ways in the manner you’re suggesting (before Monday) can they? I see this more as a situation where they admit a large influx will break the site, plan for a general “all hands on deck” day to assess the issues (if any) as they arise, interpret, prioritize work. If hosts have issues with server migrations, deployments, etc. etc. it’s already the weekend and none of it is an option for Monday.

Yeah I mean I love Paradox and I love the Star Trek universe. Those two things have the potential to be amazing together and I think whoever was in charge of this trailer understood that. A quick cutscene saying “We’re doing a Star Trek thing guys” as an announcement and then off to work on the game.

Eh? For the trailer?? This 45 second announcement trailer with no game content has all the budget it deserves imo. Such a forgetful scene in general yeah? A generic cutscene of the Borg dropping their catch phrase on a nameless Starfleet captain is almost cringeworthy levels of basic and would only be more so if they hired good actors. I think it’s fine though, all they’re doing here is saying “this project exists, look it’s the Borg! stay tuned” instead of something with any aims to impress us.

Yup I remember thinking to myself at the time that I must be tasting incorrectly or somehow my tongue is different from everyone else lol.

Yeah I’d still need Windows every day for work

Windows is just so ingrained in everything. Like this job I’m starting soon I’ll need it. At the very least it would be like a dual boot situation and like I said, not even willing to spend a minute let alone begin a whole project. Cheers

I’m sure lots of other OS work but not really worth the energy for me to switch over and learn a new OS just because I’m annoyed by them wanting to update me to a new version. Once I’m all set up and have learned it, it’ll probably be better than Windows but I’m just not willing to spend even a minute on it.

I always think about when I was taught about taste and the human tongue back in grade school, they had these diagrams about zones on the tongue corresponding to sweet, sour, bitter, etc. like a “taste map”. I’m not sure how many generations were taught about it but turns out it just isn’t true at all. So, not like it’s important but you got a lot of misinformed folks out there in regards to taste lol

I’m holding out until they force me to upgrade from 10. They’ve tried probably a half dozen times or so already to have me choose to upgrade but it’s been a minute.

Any good alternatives? Everything I found has no content or pretends to have content so I can click the screen 1000 times for them. I took rarbg for granted for so long, I never realized it was in a class of its own.
