For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

They went to the trouble and presumably significant expense to hire Patrick Stewart to play a character who doesn't live past the tutorial?

The cost to have him work longer than the tutorial would probably have been even more significant :)

Exactly - the guy who played Crewman #3 would have done the whole thing for a fraction, and would have made coffee runs.

Makes sense to spend most money on the tutorial. All players see the tutorial. Fewer players see the side quest characters or final boss.

Yup. But by the gods, does it set the tone.

By Grabthar's Hammer, it surely does!

I doubt he cost that much. He’s just a Mirfield lad.
