Of course, that's not the most recent remake of Myst. The current one is called, er, 'Myst'.

Sigh. Looking forward to Riven. Again.

So are they actually going to bother to release this one, or...

Well this is concerning. If they're not getting any more funding from 505 to make Control 2 and Condor then, uh, who's funding Control 2 and Condor?

The problem with Watch Dogs Legion is that all of the player characters are all procedurally generated, so while there's plenty of plot, it's pretty threadbare as a story.

They've got the look spot on, but everyone's miscast and none of the jokes land.

I mean, Idle Champions Of The Forgotten Realms is right there already.

Depends on whether your plan is to right the ship (sensible, boring, doesn't interest investors) or to take that money and gamble it elsewhere in hope for big returns (chaotic, potentially disastrous, shareholders love it).

It's Rocksteady, so it'll be higher than 40s. Heck, it's almost impossible to get a score lower than 40 on metacritic...

Mid 60s I'm guessing, perhaps as high as 69 if reviewers are feeling generous. The kind of score which would be absolutely fine if it were a cheap and cheerful B-game made by a scrappy team of underfunded devs, but which is an absolute embarrassment when applied to a multi million dollar tentpole. The kind of score that implies 'meh'.

I would suspect that the real draw to working with Starfleet for non-federation personnel isn't any concept of wages, but a comprehensive benefits package. Presumably Starfleet membership confers some level of personal federation membership, possibly for both you and your immediate family, which may mean that you get to move your loved ones to a mostly-utopic federation world.

Yep. The show was written by humans, humans are flawed, therefore the show is flawed. It's constantly undone by an unholy mix of things that seemed okay at the time, things that were written to try and correct the things that previously seemed okay at the time (but which made things worse), the personal flaws of the creators seeping into their works, and a pile of crappy tropes that TV can't help but lean on. It's weird that you think this is something that isn't a consideration of the show 'anymore'; this all goes back all the way to the 60s. Original Trek is occasionally misogynistic crap, and once went so far as to describe Nazism as the most efficient form of government. TNG had episodes that were straight up racist, and characters that are accidentally written as creeps. This is a problem the show has always had, and sometimes you just have to deal with that to get to the good stuff.

Elim Garak, because how can you not love a ~~patently duplicitous and yet still somehow generally benevolent smooth-talker who chews all the scenery and exudes the queerest energy~~ simple tailor?
