Half tech/politics, half gaming and FFXIV nonsense. No, I will not be separating into two accounts to fix that.
Yeah! I will always love that part for lampshading the terrible accuracy of Jaffa with staff weapons, but also just for highlighting something kind of cool about the cultural differences of the perception of combat between Earth-humans and Jaffa.

I haven't gotten around to watching Picard yet, but every time I see it, I just think, damn, the Constitution-III class is a fine looking model.
I don't know how the community as a whole feels about it, but I could just stare at it all day.

An insightful quote I once saw: "Roddenberry's greatest trick was showing us a mirror and convincing us it was a window."
Ferengi, Vulcans, Betazoids... Many Trek races exaggerate a facet of our own humanity and then ask us to examine it, sometimes to an uncomfortable degree, in fascinating ways.

Among many lucky things, I credit extensive childhood exposure to TNG with me turning out to be at least a reasonably decent human being.
So many episodes challenged my young brain to think in new ways or to think from others' points of view or just to consider new angles of humanity.

The funniest part of the story is that I was drugged up as hell on painkillers the next day and it was the first day of classes.
Doc told me to keep my bandaged hand elevated and every professor thought I had a question T_T

It's a fun fight; I like the variety provided by all the different platforms.
Not hugely in love with the moving circle-on-the-diamond thing, but everything else was pretty enjoyable :)

I think all of the classes have cool things going on, but of the light classes I really like mesmer - I remember falling in love with it in GW1 because it's just doing something flavor-wise that you kind of don't usually see in MMOs? That's probably less true now than it was then, but still, flavor.
