I listened to a bit of the Giant Bombcast years ago. Thank you, I'll check out Nextlander Watch!

I agree! I think I got a free copy somewhere, years after release, and really enjoyed it. Sure, I wish the characters had been a lil' more fleshed out, but I had fun with it. I have to assume that the bulk of the negative reaction to it had to do with bugs and/or missing content on launch, that had been fixed by the time I got around to it.
I often have this experience, since the only game I recall buying on or before launch in the last decade is BG3.
How's Mission Log these days? Haven't listened since just after Ken's departure. Don't listen to Greatest Gen anymore either, which has sadly left me bereft of Trek podcasts
As a native english speaker, I fully agree. Exile is something that happens to the rich and powerful, when they fall out of favor. It does not at all connote what's going on here. Deportation is far more apt.
Is this like a chat-gpt meme account?
It's from the early days of Greatest Gen, and references Captain DeSoto of the USS Hood (NCC-1703). DeSoto and the Hood made several appearances in TNG, and Ben and Adam leaned into his chill vibes, theorizing that the Hood would be a great place to work.
It's also an allusion to the phrase Friend of Dorothy, an older euphemism for LGBT people.
I think it was originally jokingly conceived as a sort of passphrase or shibboleth for fans of the pod to identify each other without revealing their embarrassing enthusiasm to outsiders, e.g.
Q: "Are you a friend of DeSoto?"
A: "Best boss I ever had!"
That's fucking Tristan from All Creatures, Great and Small! What be the source for this gif, if you please?
Edit: oh, shit, I never knew him for a timelord
