• Is anyone playing Star Wars action games this weekend?

    From Ant@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 4 19:39:57 2024
    It's May the 4th right now and of course the 5th and 6th soon with their revenges. ;)

    My wife keeps reminding my it's May the fourth. But I haven't done
    anything SW related so far. My 7 year old self would be very
    disappointed in me.

    No, I always preferred Star Trek. The last Star Wars action game I
    played was either Tie Fighter or Dark Forces, whichever one came out
    last in the 90s. :-P

    I've done exactly one SW thing being a comic but

    I checked Disney+ and found there was a new animated series "Tales of
    the Empire" and watched the first episode. It's got Grievous so it
    isn't empire yet, false advertising, and found it tolerable at best.
    Grievous was laughing a lot, which doesn't seem to fit from what I
    remember.

    I think it's just been too overdone at this point (well for some time.)
    Waiting for something good at this point. Maybe next season of
    Mandalorian if there is one.

    I've gone back and forth. I'm definitely more Star Trek at the moment.
    When I was a kid before Star Wars, obviously Star Trek. But Star Wars
    was so big and impressive it won me over for a long time.

    Philosophically I prefer Star Trek as they always try to portray a
    better future, even if it's filled with existential threats, the
    Federation is way better than anything we have now in how it's
    governance treats their own people, and people treat each other. It's
    also had a far greater effect on our own society.

    It's also much less Fantasy than SW. Sure it's got fantastic Sci-Fi in
    it, but SW is Fantasy with spaceified naval & air battles, and trappings
    of Sci-Fi.

    I'm still salty that after the newer reboot ST movies all the phasers
    are pew pew blasters though.

    Well, good luck. I think I've only watched Episode 4.

    I love both series. Hey, I like Dune and others too.

    I visited that link expecting to be disappointed. I thought it would
    show the entire (or at least complete enough to be a recognizable
    Millenium Falcon) spaceship. I was prepared to bitch about how you
    promised us only landing gear and here you were showing us the full
    thing.

    But instead I got the very basic framework of the construction. I am pleasantly satisfied with this lack of completion. I have nothing to
    whinge about. You made my day!

    Good work! Keep at it! Have fun!

    Ditto. Kind of like Death Star 2. Hahha


    (Wait... I do have something to gripe about after all. Step #153? What
    the fuck, Lego? I've written computer programs that are simpler to
    generate.)

    Yeah, too complex and grindy. :)
