Good points. I haven't rewatched Voyager since the finale aired so I may have been conflating the two Janeways. I'm just going to ignore the obvious time travel issues this raises because they make zero sense.
Same here re: Ubisoft cookie cutter open worlds. I LOVED the first ~40 hours of Immortals and thought I was approaching the end until I realized I was less than halfway at the rate I was progressing. I have no idea how length estimates like the ones on How Long to Beat are accurate for this game; usually they're pretty spot on for my "complete what I find fun and interesting and not much else" play style. I gave up on the game after briefly skimming FAQs to see what I had left.
There's an old fashioned radiator underneath, not forced air. The cover has vertical slots that allow the heat to come through. It came with the house and doesn't seem to make any difference in terms of heating efficiency so I just kept it. The cats love sleeping on it.
I purchased it from Amazon which I know doesn't mean much, but I'd assume a pirated electronic version would get shut down pretty quickly by the copyright holder.
I disagree with the idea that you can't get attached to characters or have a fleshed out world in shorter seasons. I've become more attached to the SNW and Lower Decks characters in 20 and 30 episodes, respectively, and to the characters in the Expanse (for a non Trek example) than I ever did with Voyager's or Enterprise's characters over hundreds of episodes. The key is good writing and acting that fleshes out the characters, not having 26 episodes, half of which are inconsequential or worse, outright garbage. I do agree that 10 episodes is on the short side and think 13 would be ideal.
As for the stakes being higher and higher iterations of the end of the world, again that's a separate issue with writing, not always tied to a short season length.
*In a current life too.
In my younger days, I rented a bedroom that was a converted dining room next to the kitchen but even that was miles better than this.
We did it the other way, starting in Manarola and heading north. I felt old, getting passed by old seniors from Europe with their hiking sticks who were clearly in better shape than me. It's an amazing trail!
And after that, you still have a pile of leftover screws and parts that remain unused.
You misunderstand--I almost never post on them, but I actually want more Lemmy cat pic communities which provide an endless source of cuteness and entertainment amidst the doomscrolling. But to each their own, of course.
Definitely more prolific thus far considering all the communities I've found on Lemmy so far are for hobbies and interests, and not just the slew of assorted cat pic subreddits I was subscribed to on Reddit. I'm sure the latter will come in time though.
Just remember: As a Changeling, Odo has nipples according to the episode "A Simple Investigation" which I rewatched yesterday. You're welcome.
