Most men in Star Trek would fall into this category. Sisko fills the top spot for me though, for his portrayal as a supportive, affectionate, and masculine father while balancing the responsibilities of wartime leadership.

It depends on how you play, but I think Arthur Morgan from RDR2 can be a positive masculine role model if you play high honor the whole game or choose redemption in its final act.

I had mixed feelings about the first season. I’m more of a West Coast Fallout Fan then an East Coast Fan, so while I can acknowledge the show is well produced and entertaining, I cant help but be irritated by the direction its taking the franchise. I’m interested but cautious of season 2, especially since its content will now align closer to my favorite game in the series. I’m also doubtful of the long term success of any show from the creators of Westworld. I’ve been burned before.

The scores on these prestige streaming shows are always bullshit. They’re usually based off just a handful of critics who saw the first few episodes. These shows are usually front-loaded with quality and then fall apart mid or late in the season, so the scores start great and by the time bad reviews come in most people have moved on.

Been seeing this headline for going on 10 years now.

I’ve grown more fond of Wesley as I’ve grown older. He’s only ever really “annoying” in season one, but the entire show was rough back them. I wish we had gotten more of Wesley post season 4, during TNG’s peak years.

Janeway is a fine character. Like all the crew on Voyager she is inconsistently written, but she is one of the better characters. Neelix fits the OP best.

Burger of course

As someone who’s become more and more of a Scrooge over the years, Gremlins is my partner and I’s go to “Not Christmas” Movie

Similar in vibes, though more “Christmasy” Krampus (2015) has become another of my holiday staples.

Love to see my favorite homoerotic fart movie discussed on Lemmy!

That’s embarrassing for an item with this price tag. It makes the entries product unimpressive and gives the notion that it was rushed.

When I was a kid, I used to play a lot of educational games. I had the various JumpStarts and was a big fan of Zoombinis. I learned a lot about ancient Rome from the Caesar series too.

As an adult, the Paradox 4X games (Crusader Kings, Victoria, Europa Universalis) can actually teach you a lot about history and geography. I mostly play the older ones because the newer ones have atrocious development cycles and DLC policies. Victoria 2 is my favorite!

Halloween’s sincere, secular association is FUN. It’s also about community; it’s the only holiday that actually involves getting together and participating with your neighbors rather than just your family. Under capitalism, all holidays involve a deluge of cheap plastic crap, but at least Halloween sticks to its season.

The school bully to cop pipeline is real

Ah yes, a “beautiful” soul shopping at Amazon Foods.

So far it looks like the leaks are accurate, which is a shame. The leaked story was terrible.

Shaxs has some great anti-facist quotes!

BOIMLER: I just asked if you learned how to throw pots on Bajor.

SHAXS: You think I had time for anything other then resisting? Fighting Fascism is a full time job!

Benevolent dictator is an oxymoron. The most benevolent thing a dictator can do is dismantle their dictatorship.

Has been for years. Notorious Scab too.
