Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

It's exaggerated in the show,but there is a "UN Mom" type that works for the UN, dresses like a peacock at a fabulousness contest and swears like a docker when the microphones arent around.
I had a few Professors who were connected to the UN like this,and Francesca Albanese is another example.
You know when she swears?
“WHENEVER I GODDAMN LIKE”
I heard that in her voice :)
janeway would be swearing everytime because of her coffee addiction, if it wasnt on national networks.
She is a gawdamned treasure.
(and, yes I typed that in her voice)
My parter wasn’t that interested in Arcane but after hearing her voice, she was in.
Don’t stick your dick in it Holden, it’s fucked enough
Okay so now im interested in Arcane. Is it any good?
It's so good. Stop reading what everyone else is saying and just watch.
I knew nothing of the lore previously and had zero issue following anything.
It's great but can be hard to follow at times if you aren't familiar with the lore
Does the show not cover the lore?
It does, but it fits a lot into two seasons and would probably have benefitted from being 3.
Mostly its a lot of 'twists' in season 2 that aren't actually twists if you already knew who the characters are, but definitely would have benefitted from just a bit more time to flesh them out.
Don't let that dissuade you though, it's still by far one of my favorite shows. The characters are all really interesting and compelling and it pulls on your heartstrings in a way very few shows manage to do (imo).
So whats the source material, i assumed it was a netflix cg original. If im thinking of the right show of course. I read light novels every day so im not opposed to going for the books over a show. I actually love watching something and then reading more since i can now easily put faces to names.
It was the same with the expanse, i started book 1 after my boss recommended it to me, then a couple days later he said there was a show so i immediately switched to that and then read the series.
Arcane is based on the lore for the game League of Legends (specifically the Piltover and Zaun area).
Uh that battle royal game? I mean instrest totally just dropped, but im not one to be totally put off by something like that. Thank you for helping me out, ill keep it on my to get to list.
Stop reading this person's comments and just watch the show. The first season is incredible.
Trust me. From someone who was in the same boat as you who needed to be convinced because I had negative interest in the game.
This person means well but they're coming from someone who was already a fan. Take it from someone who hates that genre of game and hoped to never have to interact with it: the Arcane TV show is outstanding.
One of the best animated series ever made. I'm not even kidding.
Best ever made..... You have no idea who you are talking too, granted its easy for you to not realize im an anime veteran. But their honest good will approach was what drew me into wanting to see it. Of course people who like something are going to want others to also like it. I in fact do not want to stop readding their comments if it means i have to only suffer through yours🤮🤮🤮
Uh, beg pardon?
May I ask what I said or did that warranted this kind of reply? It is just so oddly aggressive and antagonistic when all I did was try to recommend a TV show that I think is good.
I guess this is what I deserve for trying to give a TV show recommendation?
Yikes. Just yikes.
Edit: You know what, fuck the benefit of the doubt and fuck you for speaking to me like this after zero provocation. Watch it or don't watch it, but go fuck yourself either way.
And I said "one of the best ever made" you fucking chode. Go back to jerking off to loli porn.
Imagine saying something like this about yourself with a straight face:
You have no idea who you are talking too, granted its easy for you to not realize im an anime veteran.
It's like straight up copypasta.
Arcane isn't even anime, but as long as you get to feel superior or something I guess.
Not a flex but more so admitting im to deep in anime. But saying copypasta, yeah you're more of a troll then i am.
Cool.
Get some self-awareness. And maybe don't attack people who are earnestly trying to help you. Just a few notes.
Dont just tell me what to do. Oh and completely editing your comment from one word into a paragraph later just makes anything you say seem if not full of shit but at least shady.
Edit: you know when you completely add shit later this is one way you do it. But also you must hate yourself for doing so stupidly. Id hate me to if i acted liked you. Who cares though, get bent and have a nice day! 😝😝😝
Stop reading this persons comments is what you started with and i couldn't care a thing about anything else you said. 2 wrongs dont make a right like that stupid saying goes so ill apologize. But im still not readding the rest of your comment.
🤓 Um, Ackshualllyyy it's two teams of 5 😝
But yeah it's based on a video game. The game has surprisingly deep lore though, if anything I think they should make more shows about it.
I apologize then. Im just a simple person whos favorite games are souls like. But you didnt correct me on it being a netflix show, and i loved the cyberpunk show even though i never touched the game. So ill have some hope in this one aswell!
Also, it gets you atomized into unwitting matyrdom. 🤷🏼♂️
I would sit at her feet and listen to her all day if I could. Such an amazing voice, talent, and the costuming for her in The Expanse was absolutely stunning.

My dream for the Trump family:
"Good. And please let him know that, if they can't, I will rain Hellfire down on them all; I will freeze their assets, cancel their contracts, cripple their business. And I have the power to do it, because I am the fucking hero who helped save Mother Earth from the cataclysm that Jules-Pierre Mao unleashed. Tell his children the government is more powerful than any corporation, and the only reason they think it feels the other way is because we poor public servants are always looking for some fat private sector's payoff down the road. And I'm not looking. And by the time they can pull the strings to force me out, it will be too late. Their family will be ruined. Their mother, their children, their children! All of them: pariahs! outlaws! Hunted and on the run for the rest of their days, until we find them, and nail each and every last one to the wall. Make sure you tell them that."
