I’m just so done with streamers and YouTubers, except for maybe one or two smaller ones. The latest nail in the coffin for me was Captain Canada. He has been praising the A220 to no end. When people bring up issues, he quickly sidesteps them or explains them away “I don’t man, that’s never happened to me.” You’d think the A220 was the best thing since the Wright brothers first took off. Now I’ve had a great experience with the A220 myself, but his praise just seemed over the top.

Then he announces that he’s the new community manager of Inibuilds. There we go.

I’m sorry, but so many of them seem so disingenuous. I’m done with the vast majority of them.

There are probably a few folks who will downvote me for this, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Starfleet Academy. I’ve avoided it due to all the bad press, but finally decided to dive in the other night.

I’m about halfway through the first season and I have to admit, I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

Is it your typical Trek? Certainly not. DS9 and TNG will always remain my favorites. That said, it’s not the dumpster fire that so many people claim it to be. I didn’t enjoy Discovery because it laid on the emotional stuff so thick, but I feel Academy has a decent balance of that, both inner and outer exploration, so to speak. There are moments when I roll my eyes due to some quirky moments, but those moments also, by and large leave a smile on my face. So far my favorite episode is the Debate episode. Loved how they solved the problem there.

Again, not top of my list. But also, I’m enjoying it and hope others give it a chance, too.

I am a very new streamer, like within the last week. 2 followers. A handful of views.

But tonight was different: someone came into the stream and just chatted with me for a bit and it was a lot of fun! We had a great conversation and joked around. I just really appreciated his presence. That hasn't happened on any of my streams yet.

Anywho, that was a first for me, and it was a cool experience. Now to just get beyond two followers. LOL.
