A font is such a prefect thing to generate with AI.

There's nothing AI can add except mediocrity.

Generating a font can really shine a bright searing spotlight on our having not even a snowballs chance in hell of achieving the fabled any-day-now AGI worth anything with our current technology.

Oh, shit. No way?

The bigger surprise is that they're not just walking out of banks with sacks full of other people's money with cartoon dollar signs painted on.

I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure ~~the high seas~~ legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.

RIP Renee A. I can always hear his delivery of that final line when I read it.

Good points. I feel like Fate does a better job staying in the interesting in-between for longer, and also supports "epic" stories a bit better (than other systems I have played).

But I haven't tried to force Fate to support the newbie to epic growth, because the rulebook calls out that the Fate rules intentionally ignore supporting the ability to play as a helpless nobody.

It's very eco-conscious. It's actually made of recycled Jake Sisko vests.

Neat. I've always wondered what train conductors had to say. I always imagined they announce safety reminders, or the next stop. But it could have been be poetry, or rants about a co-worker for all I could parse it.

Have you considered printing a list of three letter words and staring with them?

Ihope you will report back with the contents and combination of you succeed!

But no, between Archer and Kirk Starfleet must have recruited just the worst of the worst.

All good points.

But I've done some mental gymnastics to make it work. We actually know:

And I assume that the same character in my spoiler tag recruited various dysfunctional crew, while Saru recruited those crew that actually perform like Starfleet officers.

So basically, with enough mental hoops, I can assume that only Discovery, itself, is crewed unusually for Starfleet.

Edit: I also feel that Archer's bring-my-dog-to-work leadership should also shoulder some blame. And Kirk is still a low ranking officer at this point, so we haven't reached Starfleets prime.

Hence the number one rule: cool stuff should be done in the game, not your backstory.

I prefer Fate, where the rules practically require having cool stuff in each character's back story.

Yes. That's one reason that the Fate system basically disallows characters ever being low level. Low level starts aren't actually particularly fun, and they can prevent characters from having diverse epic shared backstory.
