    Maybe I'm dense, but what even is the point of a metric like that, other than tricking people who think you're talking about annual?

    I'm having a hard time coming up with any legitimate uses for such a thing, other than wild adhoc extrapolations.

    Seconding this. Never ever felt recharged after hanging out in a group.

    One or two people (and they have to be very specific people for me to actually recharge) is the max for me to actually feel like I'm charging instead of draining.

    Timeline of my thoughts from seeing this post to the end of the trailer: Oh neat, Section 31 Trek stuff. Prolly a bit dark, but whatever. If they manage to do this well, it can be really good....

    Timeline of my thoughts from seeing this post to the end of the trailer:

    • Oh neat, Section 31 Trek stuff. Prolly a bit dark, but whatever. If they manage to do this well, it can be really good.
    • What a strange bit of opening music. Did they clip this in from some sort of a preview reel with annoying music in between the trailers?
    • Let's pause... oh, little trekky content warnings. Neat.
    • Oh, it's that mirror universe emperor lady. She was a bit annoying, but... maybe?
    • Wait, the annoying music is back. Why is it back? The trailer is still running.
    • Oh. Oh no.
