No, it’s “re” like the subject of an email. “Re: diculous”

Nice try, Javert.

Are there examples of censorship or prior restraint you’d like to highlight?

It’s enjoyable, but I’ve never been really engaged with it. There’s no progression, I don’t feel like my character, equipment, or ships are getting better even though I’m upgrading things. No planet is special, even though they’re all unique.

I think it would be better if you started out in a “settled” region with interesting factions, hand-designed planets, optional quest lines, etc. The infinite procedurally generated stuff would come into play if you push beyond the edges of known space.

There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

Fun fact: Danish fishermen who smuggled Jewish people from Nazi controlled Denmark would sprinkle a mixture of dried rabbit blood and cocaine in their boats. When Nazis searched the boats with dogs the blood attracted the dogs and the cocaine numbed their sense of smell.

It may be possible…

It may not be necessary…

Left-to-right, top-to-bottom:

1. From the TNG episode “Darmok”, where Captain Picard has to learn how to communicate with an alien through shared danger.
2. From DS9, the decades-long Bajoran resistance to the brutal Cardassian occupation.
3. From the Voyager episode “Message in a Bottle”, where the holographic doctor has to go outside his comfort zone in order to recapture a federation starship from the Romulans.
4. From TNG, the friendship between human Geordi and the android Data.
5. From DS9, the friendship and subsequent romance between Odo and Kira
6. From Voyager, Janeway’s insistence that Borg drones are still people.

“Make out” makes out so many things.

A Nintendo64 with several game cartridges. It’s a little flaky, but it still works for the most part.

I’ve still got my Nintendo 64, and I sometimes boot up Goldeneye for old time’s sake.

Fatal flaw: Versus mode (PvP) with random strangers is almost always awful. Only well-balanced teams of roughly equal skill can have a good time, which is unlikely when playing with randos.

As opposed to the co-op campaigns where it’s OK if some players are better than others because we’re all on the same team and a good player can carry several n00bs.

It could certainly be used as evidence in your favor. Whether it by itself would be enough to exonerate you would depend on things like the evidence against you and how much weight the jury gave to your records.

These are known as souvenir plots. Generally, you aren’t buying the land, but rather you’re buying a contractual right to prevent the actual owner from developing the land.

Californian. No.

It wouldn’t solve any problems that can’t be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven’t had to worry about before. It’d be a net loss for everyone involved.
