I’m currently reading The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang. It’s Joan of Arc meets Pacific Rim but done really well. I have about 130 pages left before I finish.

I understand what you mean. I think it would have been nice to have something unique like not all sith are pure evil or not all Jedi are good.

I know some of the other shows portray this concept to varying degrees.

That’s understandable. I’m glad you gave it a second try.

I’m currently reading This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El- Mohtar & Max Gladstone.

I really love it and it feels like I’m reading poetry.

I really loved The Last Jedi and how Rian tried to take it in a new direction. But the sequel series was honestly all over the place.

The Force Awakens was good but essentially a copy & paste of A New Hope. While Rise of Skywalker just did a 360 to change what The Last Jedi built upon and threw in Palpatine out of nowhere.

The original trilogy is the only one where all of them were good.

I just finished Adulthood Rites by Octavia E. Butler. It’s such a good book and the second in Lilith’s Brood (or Xenogenesis trilogy).

I’m not a fan of the AI image that’s being used but I hope Starfleet Academy gets more seasons.

Thank you for sharing this. I just didn’t want to assume but I did have an assumption that it could be AI.

The comic is not “AI generated”. One of my friends reached out to the VFX supervisor for the show on Mastodon and they said the art department drew and colored it.

I think it’s also important for us to fact check things before assuming. I know “AI generated content” is being used a lot but there are designers and artists that are very much against its use.

Nemesis did have a cool space battle and I agree with you there! I was just so disappointed with characters not acting like how they normally are like though.

Same here! It’s interesting and well done so far and honestly has a charm to it.

I mean personally the only 2 Star Trek stuff I’ve not liked at all is Section 31 & Star Trek Nemesis.

I haven’t seen all of Trek. I’m basically catching up on it still.

For context I’ve seen The Next Generation (and all the TNG movies), Deep Space Nine, Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds.

Currently watching TOS and I’m on the last season for that.

Episode was funny and I loved it!

I’m reading Network Effect by Martha Wells. It’s the fifth book in The Murderbot Diaries series. I love it so far and 30% done with the book currently.

I started reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I wanted to read the book before the adaptation comes out.

Other than that I’ve also been reading The Murderbot Diaries. (Read 4 of the 7 books published so far).

I haven’t played 99% of the games listed here. Pokémon Shining Pearl has been the only one I played.

I don’t support any of the other companies either and I’m well aware they donate to fascists.

The reason I brought up the HP game is because the author directly has been doing a lot of harm to trans people. This doesn’t condone what these other companies are doing but I find that many people tend to look the other way with the HP franchise as a whole.

It’s awful seeing a game based on a bigots work being bestselling.

It just feels like a reminder that so many people don’t care about trans people at all because of “nostalgia” and not caring that Rowling benefits and hurts us.

sighs I’m sorry for that rant just sad/disappointed/angry to see this.

It’s only from what I heard from others and online articles. I haven’t read the books personally but that’s why I avoided them.

I didn’t read that series (referring to Ready Player One) since there was transphobic stuff the author put in the book.

But in terms of fun reading I would recommend the Monk & Robot series by Becky Chambers. It’s wholesome and heartwarming. It’s two sci-fi novellas.

Not happy about the cat in terf outfit 😔
