Fellow 22 checking in.

I only have 20 Civ 6 Achievements, and one this one is also my rarest steam achievement somehow. Pretty sure it’s just a thing people don’t try, rather than being hard.

Could even make it easier, cheaper and avoid the ecological disaster as well

Just shoot them

Just an FYI, if anyone looks into this and sees a good deal of negativity in the MTG community about it, it isn’t that they’re specifically negative about Star Trek, but rather there’s just a general growing discontent with the volume and variety of 3rd party IP sets being produced in the last year or two. The sets are usually pretty solid on theming for those who like that IP, play quality varies (but that’s true for any set), usually feels better when the set has a bit of a story to it.

These sets are created with the primary goal to pull in new players based on the IP, collecting the game is not cheap, but there’s a wide variety of interesting ways to play it. You won’t be “competitive” with just cards from this set (if that matters to you), you’ll probably need a variety of IP cards from things like Marvel, Turtles, Airbender or Final Fantasy as well as the Magic core IPs.

Conservatives do not understand subtext, satire, or allegory. They don’t assign what they like or don’t based on any meaningful understanding of the message it conveys. They get told what to like and believe by authority and follow it, constantly dismissing or dissonancing any message from what they consume that doesn’t align with their instilled beliefs.

I’ll be honest, I can’t remember all my particular criticisms, but here’s my impressions that I have left:

It’d be more accurately titled Star Trek: Burnham, because 95% of the time, every problem or mystery is somehow related to Burnham, everyone else is just supporting cast.

Like Picard, each season felt very disconnected from the others, there’s some continuity, but you could almost name the season based on the feel of an episode.

Plots more often than not felt underwhelming, as they were solved by essentially deus ex machina, mcguffins, surprise reveals or abrupt character changes.

It was largely visually ok, actors all did at least a decent job.

I have 0 desire to ever rewatch a single episode.

They started a new strategy in the last few years, Universes Beyond, which is MTG sets based on other IPs. They’ve done it for dozens of properties, it is basically just printing money for them, people who don’t play at all try to get them because they’re collectables related to the IP, which causes scarcity, which allows them to justify higher prices while still selling out.

The player base has mixed responses on it, obviously higher prices is unwelcome, and some people don’t like the IP being diluted (“This is my SpongeBob/Spiderman/Space Marine deck”), but some people like those properties and enjoy overlapping their interests. It doesn’t help that a lot of the recent “original” set IPs have been kinda meh.

The funniest thing recently is that they made a whole Marvel set, but failed to get the digital rights (probably something to do with Marvel Snap). So they had to reskin and rename the set and cards to release it in their digital clients.

I’d say the use cases of: mundane but time consuming, pointed inquiries or interactive rubber ducking, are all getting AI help. Offloading a design where you don’t have a clear understanding of how it should be done is vibing.

The way I see it is, the usefulness of straight LLM generated text is indirectly proportional to the importance of the work. If someone is asking for text for the sake of text and can’t be convinced otherwise, give 'em slop.

But I also feel that properly trained & prompted LLM generated text is a force multiplier when combined with revision and fact checking, also varying indirectly proportional with experience and familiarity with the topic.
