Yeah Christ, the complaint here is overstimulation and the capitalization/commercialization of peoples’ attention spans, a topic which spans far greater breadth than just “colors”. What a weird specific aspect to zero in on. I don’t disagree that colors attribute to the issue but man, OP needs to take a step back and huff into a paper bag.

This is some hyperbolic shit right here.

Coffee’s been around for hundreds of years. You think there’s really going to be an about face on it after all this time?

I don’t think anyone has a problem with bottle episodes. It’s the bottle episodes specifically starring Vic Fontaine which stretches the premise thin to incredulity that I think people–or at least I–have an issue with. Do another Ferengi or Klingon thing if need be. But attaching such sentiment to a character that the show really really wants you to like doesn’t work for me. Again, he’s a love him or hate him character. At least Ezri’s episodes, while shoehorned, made sense for why they needed to be there if they had to have her as a replacement at all. Vic was just an insert the writers specficially wanted for no good reason.

Most people here are ignoring the main reason: the writers were just a bunch of baseball loving rat pack fans who took their love of those things maybe a little too far. In the case of baseball, we only had Take Me Out to Holosuite to deal with (which is a great episode–provided you like baseball, I suppose). In the case of the rat pack, we inexplicably got Vic Fontaine who you either love or hate. I wouldn’t hate Vic Fontaine so much myself if they didn’t force him to basically take up the space that Quark’s Bar was supposed to be, and for him to be an integral part of the show so late in the series. And yes, the musical numbers take up too much time, if you ask me.

Probably none, if you’re fine with KeePass. Personally I don’t want to use anything that’s hosted on someone else’s server. It’s a bit more inconvenient to use the local files of KeePass only, but I’d rather feel a bit safer with that, even if by all account BitWarden/Proton Pass would be fine.

It’s made on the same engine as Skyrim and Fallout 4 so for all intents and purposes this is going to be like any other Bethesda game. So, if people want Fallout 4 in space with procedural worlds and companions then I guess it’ll be what they’re looking for. But my belief is it’s going to feel like a last gen game with a sheen of current gen on top.
