Wrath of Khan Was Great, Sure, But How Much Better Could It Have Been If They Named It:
"Star Trek II:
The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban"
(as Mr. Montalban's agent had *initially* requested, during his contract negotiations. and at Ricardo's suggestion, made surely in That Subtle But Utterly Dominating Tone he deployed so well, "If I may make a suggestion, Captain... *Kirk*, is it?")

highly recommend you watch the whole thing. epic. he nails so much, so well. and strikes right balance between a Dystopic diagnosis and Utopian plan going forward. like my own hopes for the lessons (on democracy and climate) I want my Slartboz game to teach
nostr:npub12ze486vfl7f9nk2vsan0u07lrd7tfn37f8djqeryl0uztsck8ltsyyhunm making a note here: Slartboz has a fan! *pumps fist*
There's an INCREDIBLY cool looking traditional type roguelike being made by nostr:npub14fs5jkej6zau4x5hkfflcmkepnlc7c28llha7ggtgjwp5exuc52s53qegk called Slartboz that he describes as a "sci-fi post-apoc educational comedy adventure in the style of Fallout, Idiocracy, HHGG & The Princess Bride", and I'm totally here for it. 🤣
He just put up the first gameplay video on itch (where you can follow the progress of and/or contribute to the game) and this video includes "shootin, lazer pistols, lazer cannons/auto defense towers, monsters, eggs.." and more.
