I see where the criticism is coming from, but I can also see there are all sorts of extenuating circumstances around it (not to mention lack of time) and to take the plot there for a search would kind of kill the story momentum.

This is a blunder on writer's/producer's/etc. They could have written a one-off line where Spock cold-bloodedly says "the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few." They could have sent rescue shuttles to search the wreckage since it was on the right side of the line early on in the episode. They could have chosen an entirely different solution (seems like flying a shuttle disguised as wreck worked well, toss another stuffed with torpedoes).

It's fine, they'll lampshade it next season.

Wo Long is the harsh reminder that I shouldn't pre-order games. That one water level is quite literally unplayable even at the lowest settings.

From what I've read, the information they're gathering already exists and can be gathered by the server (browser type, user, etc.) with an added layer of encryption to ensure that information isn't tampered with which is easily spoofed today. Of course, this approach doesn't stop folks from tampering with the web browser directly to inject whatever information (outside of maybe what browser they're using since that'll be tied to the key) they want into the payload but that makes closed-source web browsers substantially more trustworthy (aka not Firefox) to site owners.

If this does gain mass market adoption, then yeah, I suspect it will force users to use proprietary web browsers (google chrome, edge, etc.). Which is a step in the direction that Google wants.

I imagine that ad providers (Google) can also start throwing their weight to force mass adoption by de-monetizing non-compliant browsers, which may pressure site owners to not serve non-compliant browsers.

Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Getting back into Alien: Fireteam Elite for some causal fun before making my 4th attempt to complete Tales of Zestiria.

I imagine this is closer to what fans were looking forward to when the Picard show was first announced. I still massively cringe to the memory of Han Data flying the Millennium Enterprise through the Borg structure, but otherwise I like it.

There's a Helldivers 2??!?!!
They switched to over-the-shoulder, interesting. Hope they bring back the vehicles/death traps!

I enjoyed Remnant 1: the only souls-like with a proper focus on gun play that I know of. Hope 2 improves upon the predecessor.

It was a fun ride overall. Especially with Kirk basically treating the mission as a field trip for the first 20 minutes. I'm glad I didn't completely jumped ship after Paul Wesley's incredibly wooden delivery of "oh my god, what have you done" nearly broke me. Meanwhile, the romance felt forced and rushed to me, so I didn't feel much at the end. But the most shocking reveal to me: George Kirk... is apparently still on the Enterprise?!

I'm just praying they released it in a somewhat optimized state even if it takes longer to reach pc. Devs nowadays seemed to have abandoned optimization for pc on release (Wo Long and Jedi Survivor comes to mind).

Hasn't been since at least FFXIV.
