the whole thing is basically a rorshach test and it doesn't have good vidya game balance b/c it wasn't written by pro gamers that said i always thought the intent of the scene was to establish that kirk's a sore loser (and possibly not somebody you really want in command?)

Bogus Adventure posted:Kirk still is a turbo nerd, even in the prime and JJ universes. It's just that he also successfully functions in social situations, which is a completely foreign concept to most Star Trek nerds. I actually rather like that the captains tend to have a past that that they've synthesized/inverted. Kirk was a huge nerd, but as a captain he's confident about going with his gut. Picard was a huge jock but as a captain he's learned to appreciate taking things slow and technical and artsy. And Sisko started in engineering but on DS9 his main solution to problems is to support and push his subordinates, trusting them to find the best solution without his micromanagement. I don't know anything about the other captains so no idea if it holds up.

It's cool to have another form of confirmation that I didn't miss out much on the Star Treks I've skipped. Still wanna check out Lower Decks.SlothfulCobra posted:From my experience in college, archaeology is the jockiest of the sciences. It comes close with geology because geologists can afford to be a lot more cavalier and careless, but archaeologists follow a more heroic narrative having to hunt down relatively small ruins instead of doing larger surveys of land, which feels more sporty. I knew more archaeologists in grad school and later than during college and my experience was that they're mostly just very prone to sex cults/general poly stuff. Something about carefully cataloguing each thimble of dirt you move from a 600 year old kitchen for weeks without a real shower causes some lowered sense of boundaries.

is Starfleet Academy actually good at training?Gravitas Shortfall posted:That's actually a weirdly compressed image from a print comic, and that's not the usual artist on the book. He still makes webcomics sometimes but yeah that one's print/comixology. Daisy's an incredible character, Giant Days are some of the few comics I don't regret buying.

Yvonmukluk posted:I'm starting to think the real reason for these tests is to weed out the edgelords. I came into this thread thinking "The KM is not super important but probably has uses for seeing how commanders react to getting hosed" and am going to leave this thread thinking "the KM is the most important part of starfleet training."
