Imagine a time before instant communications, where you have no idea how life has treated the recipient since you last saw them and it might take months for your letter to arrive. It is a sincere hope that they are well and that tradgedy has not befallen them.
It would be neurotic and unreasonable if your last update on their life was only days or even hours before, but in the days of letters hope is really all you had. It’s just honest.
I really enjoyed The Wolf Among Us, but given how terrible their Expanse game was I’m not holding my breath.
It has it’s roots in actual letter writing, as in “I hope this letter finds you well”.
I actually didn’t realize there was a Descent 3 for some reason, I’ve only played 1 & 2. They’re the sort of game I can just jump in for 20 minutes and have fun but all the back tracking through the levels makes me feel sick playing any longer.
no, us real wokies know they should have made maximus ace
I’d take SNW over Lower Decks tbh, but meh either way
I gotta be real, the only Star Trek news that would get a reaction out of me these days is a Star Trek: Resurgence sequel
ewww he praises moving the briefing room scenes to bridge, i hate that
so many of these conversations and arguments should not be done in front of the crew
Kinda vague on whether or not Moldaver was a communist.
Moldaver specifically says she is not a communist. You can argue that she is lying, but it’s far more likely to be yet another entry in the grand liberal tradition that thinks the deepest tragedy of McCarthyism is that liberals were wrongly called communists.
it definitely portrays the corporate monopolists well.
No it doesn’t, it’s one of the stupidest depictions of it I’ve ever seen. A bunch of upper management types decide to start the apocalpyse because in a few centuries they’ll… have a monopoly? Except this is a group of every major corporation cooperating for it, they already do. All these guys care about is line goes up and are notoriously short sighted, this is like the definition of line goes down and (nonsensical) long term planning.
If these guys caused nuclear armageddon they’d have done so believing that it wouldn’t actually happen or would be limited, and have a clear plan to actually profit from their actions. They’d do brinksmanship stuff to scare the public into buying more vault spots and the government into funding them more, risking everyone’s lives for a few dollars more under the assumption they’d win the dice roll.
I take back what I said about the series being “kinda liberal.”
I don’t know why, it definitely seems like it is.
