To this day, one of the best gaming experiences I ever had was Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (2003). I was "bLaSt" and I ran ClanUSA - The Ultimate Saber Alliance, with about 80 members worldwide at its peak. We ran our own clan servers. We patched the game with our own assets (loading screens, player skins, and custom clan maps). We had ranks and three squads, Red, White, and Blue of course. Red and Blue were equal and White was the elite that would participate in matches with other clans. Red and Blue would have internal matches to gain promotion to White. Each squad had an internally elected leader and in our USA clan map, they each had dedicated meeting halls and training/sparring facilities. There was even a Rancor pit for "punishment" (it was all in good fun). As clan leader I had my own dedicated skin and saber hilt that was a Klingon bat'leth! LOL! (see the video). I was also the author of JediTracker (dot) com, which was an online server tracker you could customize and embed in your website. It showed what game your server was running (including MODs installed), players on the server, game-type, basic rcon for authorized users, and a thumbnail of the current map being played. It was originally meant for my own clan's use but I got so many requests, I made it public and it was used by hundreds of clans for over a decade afterwards. Although it was customized for the games my clan played (Jedi Knight II, Jedi Academy, COD3, World of Padman, and a few others). It supported ANY Quake III engine game, and eventually Unreal engine games (my clan started playing UT2004) before I finally took it down around 2017). Great games, good times, and lasting friends. You owned your games and ran your own servers (if you chose to). Otherwise it was peer-to-peer with and in-game server browser, as it should be. Peer-to-peer can never be "shut down". Before social media, we had "Bespin Streets". iykyk. I need to see if I can get Jedi Academy running on Apple Silicon. I still have all the ClanUSA assets and I know it's available on Steam for like $5. LOL!! @ABurghouts @Arne_Burghouts <-- Ik wist niet welk jouw hoofdaccount is? Ik heb al lange tijd geen van je posts meer gezien.

@Variety She could have said "Friends writers" did thing. "Mostly men" is a BS qualifier that means literally NOTHING because "mostly" means there were also women writers doing thing. If it was ONLY the men, say so. Although at one MILLION per episode, I still don't care.

Lisa Kudrow says the "Friends" writers were "mostly men" who reprimanded the cast for forgetting lines and stayed "up late discussing their sexual fantasies" about her female co-stars: "Don't forget we were recording in front of a live audience of 400, and if you messed up one of these writers' lines or it didn't get the perfect response they could be like, 'Can’t the bitch f---ing read? She's not even trying. She f---ed up my line.'" variety.com/2026/tv/news/l…

@OdyseeTeam Installed the app week. Def a few glitchy things in the setup, but once its working, it works!

Do you think this happened?

String theory didn't just fail, it's far worse.

@DavidRenoNV @libsoftiktok It's because they think everyone agrees with them so why wouldn't they say it in public?

@libsoftiktok I don’t understand the psychosis of people posting on a public forum, inherently evil thoughts. I never really believed in Satan as I thought it was just a bogeyman to keep people in line, but now. I’m not too sure that he isn’t real and masquerading as a Democrat.

BREAKING: Social Media manager for United Healthcare has been FIRED following deranged video appearing disappointed that the shooter missed Good riddance!

@fandompulse No.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 premieres July 23. Season 3 ended with a 55% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. One fan review: "I don't want to watch Friends in space." Season 4 includes a puppet episode made by the Fraggle Rock team. Showrunner Akiva Goldsman confirmed it last summer: "Could it do Muppets? Sure."The musical episode was Season 2. The holodeck murder mystery was Season 3. The puppets are Season 4. Is this Star Trek?

@fandompulse LMAO!! They just can't stop. How much more money can they possibly have to burn at this point?

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, hired to direct the next Star Wars theatrical film starring Daisy Ridley, on her filmmaking philosophy: "I like to make men uncomfortable. I enjoy making men uncomfortable. Recognize that I am working to bring something that makes you uncomfortable, and it should make you uncomfortable." Is this the right philosophy for the director of the next Star Wars film?

I can almost guarantee, that within 2 weeks of automatic kill switches being added to new vehicles, some Appalachian dude will have a YouTube video up of how to remove it. Will probably get you better gas mileage, too.

@TheLaurenChen If they’re trying to steal from me, THEY value my STUFF more than their OWN life.

Tennessee now allows the use of deadly force to protect property. "Oh, so you value your STUFF more than someone's LIFE?" I mean, if they're trying to steal from me? They've broken into my house? Yeah.

@ThatEricAlper Which ever one revives me?

What song is mandatory at your funeral?

@KILLTOPARTY Time to go. It will never change.

🚨🚨HONEST DIALOGUE🚨🚨

@BradRTorgersen @mcahogarth Same. 3-4 times tops.

I think I have re-watched Generations a total of four times. Have listened to its soundtrack hundreds of times. Definitely enjoy the Dennis McCarthy score more than the movie.

Rewatched Star Trek: Generations (1994) again over the weekend and it was like returning to a foreign country. - for the first entry into a new generation of movies about a new cast ready to transition into the movie franchise part of Trek, having the plot be about endings and legacies and regrets about the past was... a weird energy. Rather than boldly going, we were gently ruminating - granted, TNG was mostly about gentle rumination, which is why Picard had to fetch Kirk from the past to do the actual fisticuffs and adventuresome parts - unrelated to anything, Soren reminds me of Sting and this gave me weird vibes the entire time, lol - now that I've had a chance to watch Shatner on social media for years, it's plain how much of Kirk is just... William Shatner. And that this is actually awesome because Shatner is the kind of guy who would be Kirk in the 23rd century - also omg, Shatner has gorgeous horses (the horses in the movie were his, and he did the stunts because he's a big horse guy) - I saw this in theaters when it was new and at the time, I remember it being shocking and emotional because *they destroyed the Enterprise* AND they killed Kirk off on-camera. It doesn't reach me anymore, emotionally, but now I look at it and think 'that was an odd choice, story-wise.' - interesting "would moderns even think about this" moment was all the bits about Picard grieving over not carrying on his family line; that resonates with me but I honestly wonder if this is a thing anyone thinks about anymore - Data is the source of both the cutest parts of the movie (the life form song) and the most cringey (him cursing) - the heart of the story (about whether your response to loss is to embrace life or flee to a fantasy world; and what legacy actually means, and how you make your life matter) was quite meaty and philosophical and yet, the constant fan service asides made the treatment of these themes so light that you don't really feel them in your gut. - nevertheless, I cried when Spot survived. Weird movie to return to, decades later. Contains some of the best parts of Star Trek and a lot of the worst parts. But wow, those horses.

@BlackDumpling And being dead by 25 or 30 years old, if you’re lucky enough to live that long.

I want you to imagine **getting a toothache** during this pre-Capitalism era of bliss.

@BradRTorgersen @mcahogarth I didn’t hate this movie, but now, far in the future, the rewatchability of this for me is like zero. I mean, like I could watch wrath of khan like three times a week.

There are *parts* of this movie I adore. Such as the saucer slide-out on Veridian III. Which had been detailed years earlier in Sternbach's beautiful Next Generation Technical Manual. And then there are plot holes and Data being emo cringe and the fact a true TNG feature should have been firmly rooted in TNG's time (versus a partial call-back) and I just ended up writing the movie out of my head canon.

@DaddyWarpig What I said in a reply.

That is not the US method unless you're stupid and/or the victim of massive cranial trauma. PEMDAS PARENTHESES GO FIRST 4+3 is 7 times 7 is 49. WHEN DID PEOPLE GET SO STUPID

@lucyshow11 Turtle Pies and Surge! And of course SNES!!!!

Cherry was my choice 😋 you? 😄

@BradRTorgersen Me too. Absolutely. Can you even imagine?

Things that fascinate me: there must have been a point right around the time the oceans of Earth were first harboring simple life, that there were oceans covering Venus and Mars as well. Three watery sisters circling a younger sun. One of them would become an almost airless, freeze-dried desert. The other would become a cooked hellscape of sulfur-tinged carbon dioxide, pressurized to a terrestrial water depth of 200 feet. What circumstances spared the middle world? Was it the orbit? The fact Earth has a large moon? Was it that our planet has just enough volcanic activity for plate tectonics, but never enough to outgas lethal quantities of CO2? There might be a time in the future when Mars has oceans again. It will probably take thousands of years of harvesting and dropping Kuiper and Oort objects into the atmosphere. But it's a near certainty Venus will stay like it is until billions of years from now the sun swells up and swallows both it and the Earth. Because there's no obvious way to put all that CO2 back into Venus' crust. Still, that finite period when the three worlds were truly clement . . . I wonder about it. And try to imagine what it would be like if those two ancient companions to Earth could somehow become now as they were then. What would it change about our space colonization effort? How much more urgent might we be?

@lucyshow11 I’m not sure I’m not one of these kids.

Where are they and what year is this? 🤔🤣

@VanessaChaseOG They were indeed.

Temporary layoffs- EASY CREDIT RIP OFFS!!!! This song lives in my brain. Good Times Season Five Intro (1977)
