If you like old school adventure games, the TNG game, "A Final Unity" was great, but sadly isn't available on any platform I'm aware of these days.

And the recent game, "Resurgence", was good if you like TellTale style narrative games.

I enjoyed this when it first came out on mobile, but not enough to keep paying for the apple arcade, or whatever. Plus, I don't think any other app I've ever used has come close to causing my phone to heat up like this one did.

But I can definitely see picking it up on steam to play mindlessly while I'm listening to a podcast or whatever.

You’re trying to make a problem where none exists.

Again, I'm only trying to figure out what you meant when you said:

And even then, there wasn’t much gayness to his acting.

Because it sounds pretty ignorant.

I'm not looking for a confrontation, I just want to know what "gayness in acting" means, and why it is apparently a problem.

Having a character that’s just a normal character who happens to be gay, without making a big deal about it or using it as a plot point, is rare.

I don't know if that's as true even in 2016 when the movie came out, as it once was.

Yeah, he played the character like a real person (who lives in space and brings a sword to a skydiving phaser fight) and not a caricature.

I'm assuming you don't believe all gay men are stereotypes from 1980s comedies?

So, unless you were expecting there to be hardcore man on man penetrative sex on screen, what would "gayness" to John Cho's acting mean?

Sure, but that doesn't mean they were exclusively heterosexual.

Why would the character be a stereotype?

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website -1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Why would anyone think he would be?

Care to elaborate?

Yeah, I think "The Void" is probably a top ten VOY episode for me because of how it shows Janeway's inclination towards coalition building being successful. That is a quality I like in a Starfleet captain, but too often in VOY, the plot is about how Janeway and Co. get betrayed by someone they had entered into an agreement with.

I’ve been playing STA off and on since the first game was in play testing stage, and have been running my current campaign for 28 months. I’m a big fan of the game.

I’m a bit concerned about converting my current game over to 2nd edition, assuming that’s what my players want to do, but I definitely think the Core Rulebook could use a reorganization at the very least.
