I don’t know what condition c/Risa was in before you got here but you clearly helped build the phenomenon it is today. I know that, by your own admission, you’re (re)posting largely out of a hand-built database of old Trek memes, lovingly archived from elsewhere. But I wouldn’t think that a small task - it’s a lot more effort than any of us shitposters ever summoned for a few laughs. So, we’re all standing on your shoulders to an extent. And all of it has been the highlight of my post-Reddit online reading this year, so thanks for everything.
All Ferengi coms really should be an ad-encrusted nightmare: trailer before session, banners and popups during, ad breaks, and then a trailer at the end. Oh and a prompt, either manual or automated, to dismiss all ads for a subscription fee or an expensive one-time fee.
But with that recent paywall joke in LD, maybe that’s on the way?
Considering what goes into the more hard-core outfits, they deserve respect for their dedication. And there are lots of outlets for that too, which is great (e.g. SCA).
However, if someone gets their tabbard in a bunch because some sci-fi cosplayers ruined their sense of immersion, at what is arguably a pay-to-enter medieval-themed shopping mall, they may deserve what they get.
A lot of the Faire folk I have met are just happy people are participating and having a good time, and if you put effort into a costume, even better.
These people are the backbone of every Faire. Huzzah!
Don’t know where that comes from, but I think it has to do with the institutionalized authoritative power that comes with the job. Both are positions that can be abused, and can negatively impact people’s lives.
On the other hand, my past landlords were nowhere near as helpful about noise complaints, as the police. So there’s that.
This guy gets a gig where he plays an instrument. That only has one note. That you don’t even have to play in time, or with any particular sense of rhythm. For man-period induced deathmatches and Vulcan speed-dating ceremonies.
This sketch has everything: Patrick Stewart, Peak 1990’s SNL cast, licensed music, garbage special effects, celebrity impressions, a surprise cameo, Chris Farley flubbing his lines, and Sulu.
(To be fair I’d probably flub my lines too if I had to share the stage with Patrick Stewart on less than a week to rehearse)
