why are all the star trek games based on war and ship command and galactic fighting and war. i want diplomat simulator. i want skyrim for star trek. i wanna talk to a bunch of aliens about their farming rivalry and then go to the planet where everyones an italian mobster. i dont give a shit about upgrading the torpedoes on my battle cruiser to level up and destroy other ships in the New Online MMORPG. i want my entire ship to malfunction because an alien laid an egg in the nacelles and then i want to fix it by raising the alien as my own and then tossing it into space. what’s so hard to understand.
i want to play the equivalent of papa’s pizzeria/overcooked but set in quark’s bar
I had a new “oh, my family were the weird ones” moment recently: it seems no one else’s family celebrated Frog Night (the first warm rainy night of spring) by going down to the local vernal pool after dark to help the amphibians safely across the road and listening to the spring peepers. (We’d then go back in daytime later on to observe the egg masses, of course.)
Apparently “Frog Night” as a holiday is a thing my mother invented and not a widely-accepted idea, which is a shame because I’ve been referring to it as if it was for the past 30 years.
