Wow, it even uses that slightly-off-looking font that Japanese media uses for English (and pseudo-English) text before it's localized (or if it's been cheaply localized). I was totally fooled into thinking this might be in a language I somehow didn't recognize, or possibly heavily stylized Korean.

there's this game i found that i was initially curious about

but following it i quickly realized the developers were full of it and the visuals they were going for was the generic "retro indie ps1 game" look

doubly so because they keep referencing gran turismo and clearly implying its their inspiration

the silent hill fog is not present in any ps1 driving game i've played but is present in a lot of indie "retro ps1" horror games

which is probably what they're most likely basing the visuals on

there's also a gif one of them posted somewhere where they use a font and text that's also really common in those kinds of games

in hindsight, all those just-a-regular-human-looking "aliens" on various random planets the enterprise visits are probably supposed to be humans

they've had sleeper ships since the 90s (the botany bay was launched in 1996)

and they've mentioned a lot being launched after the ww3

There is a TNG episode that established that there was a very old alien race that has spread its DNA over the galaxy, which might explain the similarities between all intelligent life forms. Don't ask me how but that episode was not very good.

In all things programming I HATE configuration files.
Configuration files are messy and are ALWAYS wrong in one way or another.
And if the configuration works, it is a miracle.
If there is merge of two configuration files and it works, it's a bigger miracle.
If it doesn't it takes a lifetime to figure out why it doesn't.

... Just venting because at work I'm trying to merge a project from a feature branch into the main development branch and despite many attempts at fixing the merged project file I don't see any differences why it shouldn't work.

That'd be The Chase. Late-series TNG had some strange episodes.

They had a faster development than Half-Life 3.

I remember Xen being full of jumping puzzles, too. Jumping puzzles in FPS never work.

I said this when it first came out, but New Xen is brilliant almost all the way through. Like, to the point of being singularly one of the best Half-Life games all by itself. The habs full of HEV zombies were a highlight but really everything ruled. And that was after deciding they didn't want to introduce anything significantly new or lore-breaking, so imagine how much wilder it could have gotten. Really, it makes me sad that Valve is utterly incapable of functioning as a studio anymore because I'd have loved to see Crowbar Collective bought out the way they used to do with mod teams.
