Tackling his powers, I mean.

1. Depower him at the beginning / have him upgrade his powers throughout the game. It's an easy way to make a fairly typical RPG system.
2. Just ignore it. Have him fight super-powered beings, aliens, robots, etc. that can stand up to him.
3. Make him invulnerable, but make every mission timed or an escort mission, etc. You could even give Metropolis a health bar that results in a game over if the city is damaged too much.
4. Some combination of the above
5. Something else?

I think it'd be a neat mechanic for a Superman game. Have a stealth section where you play as Clark trying to do something without getting caught or using your powers

1. This is old.
2. There are laws in the UK surrounding inheritance law. There are also laws preventing a man from marrying his female descendants.
3. Thus, this is rather out of context. He was pointing out that due to a loophole it would be possible for a father to marry his son in order to avoid inheritance tax.

The Federation has always disliked Romulans since its inception.

The xenophobia we see the news interviewer exhibit may also be part of a trend we saw developing in DS9. DS9 followed the Federation through its deadliest war and some of it's darkest trials and we see that the way the Federation reacts to these trials isn't always in a good way.
We see mad witch hunts for Changelings when Starfleet attempts what amounts to a full blown coup against the president and how they wield their power bluntly in an authoritarian manner. We also see that normal citizens are beginning to be radicalized against the dominion. Also we see the influence of Section 31, we see them attempt genocide against the Founders and we see Sloan meddling in the affairs of Rouulan government as well.

This Starfleet that is beyond the ideals of Picard didn't start overnight, we see evidence of it all throughout canon.

Another possibility is that these sorts of attitudes always existed within the Federation, and we've simply viewed things thus far through a very sheltered lens.
Look at Admiral Satie in The Next Generation. If being 1/4 Romulan is that stigmatized owing to a war from one entire generation ago, then certainly being a synthetic could gather stigma after an entire planet is destroyed. Speaking of trials, look at The Measure of a Man. Data was being forced to defend whether or not he qualified for human rights ... that's no insignificant matter to land in front of a court. Any general social attitudes which would render such a case necessary are the same attitudes which would easily drive anti-synthetic sentiment after an entire planet was destroyed. To say nothing of the types of views which we saw some elements of Starfleet embody during the Dominion War. Or what about the type of bullying that both Worf and B'ellana report, based solely on them being Klingon?
What I find far more likely is that Picard is being forced to reckon with what the Federation actually is, rather than that the Federation has changed in any fundamental way. All that's changed is that the veneer of civility has been stripped away, because the modicum of comfort which permitted that civility to exist has now been disturbed. It only feels new because we view this world largely through the eyes of Starfleet captains, who are a group of people that have an active interest in believing that the Federation truly embodies all the values which it espouses.

It's not really about labels with Rogan. He's just an idiot.
And he's the first to tell you he is one as well. I don't see why people care about what he says. He's seriously every guy we knew in high school who agreed with whatever strong opinions were said and then he just wonders out loud every inane thought.

Sanders is cool though.

No wonder the masses of the uncultured filth love him, he's just like them but successful

Imagine running a business and turning away customers because they want to pay with cold, hard cash instead of digital money. I didn't even know that was a thing.

It makes sense though. Cash means you have to have change, it means you have to set up a deposit, it means you have to take a risk at being robbed, etc. Big businesses can deal with this, but your smaller ones can't.
I'm not opposed to this law, but I'm also not a fan of it either

She made the Dumbledore is gay statement but it has yet to actually be hinted at in any movie or written work.

Bro I read the 7th book and thought he was gay with Grindelward years before she said he was gay (and she didn't announce it like she does the poop stuff, that was a question from a fan about if he ever loved and she answered it)

For example, I asked her what she preferred if I do X or Y when Z happens. She said that it was up to me.
I just wanted to know because I've had different managers who had different expectations, why not just tell me what you prefer?

This is why I'm gay.

10 is too much. 5 is perfect
5: Amazing, everyone should play
4: Fans of the genre will think it's great and so will most people, but it is not worth playing if it's not your cup of tea
3: Decent enough, if you're interested already just buy it. Don't go out of your way to buy it at full price though
2: Only buy if you're a hardcore fan once it lowers price, otherwise ignore
1: Don't play at all

Having Luke fail as a Master and killing off his new generation of Jedi works really well for the character, but it leaves us in a bind. Essentially, the only stories left to tell will be those that don't add to the era. No new Jedi, no major war(s) -- just a New Republic who'll get blown up in TFA and a First Order gathering support in the shadows.

I'm sure they can come up with something interesting, but the new trilogy didn't set the universe up for success.
Contrast with the Clone Wars animated series being lauded by many and considered to be a great addition to the canon despite the lackluster reception of the prequel trilogy. I guess that's my biggest issue, despite liking the sequels.

It's kinda weird we haven't really had a video game set during or around the sequel trilogy.

Not really, seems like Disney was keeping a bit more of a tight leash on things until their trilogy was finished
Too bad they didn't leave us with much to work with

I liked the prequels too, but they have their share of controversy. However, there were 3 years of a major war to get into. The Clone Wars animated series is lauded by many and considered to be a great addition to the canon.
But where does Disney leave us? The Mandolarian is cool, but most of what we see could easily have taken place in the ~25 years between episodes 3 and 6 with minor tweaking.
