Star trek Voyager: Elite force!

It was so good for its time. I loved it so much as a kid. I especially loved the portable pattern buffer being a great in-universe solution to explain how a game character can carry many different weapons. It fits so well into the universe that I half expected to see such a thing on the shows someday. It would have been too disruptive to plot development for the characters always to have what they need with them, though.

Thanks for the giveaway, amazing to see you in the fediverse!

Am I missing out on some fantastic space shows and movies? I watched the expanse as it came out, the same with Orville. What else is there that suggests market saturation? I need some good stuff this winter 😊

This is cool. I use an app a lot like this but for my puppy. Logging is super helpful at the start of getting a puppy and trying to track bowel habits and training progress.

If you ever feel like it, a mode for tracking puppies is useful. I currently use "Doggy Time" by a developer that also makes a similar baby tracker.

I say this one is canon and it’s proof that Trip didn’t die in enterprise. The hologram just got super inaccurate and twisted as it got passed around with lossy compression in a game of telephone like an old meme.

If this was a different franchise I would see this as hyper commercial pandering and useless plastic junk.

But every year my good friends and I have an ornament exchange party where we are supposed to bring an ornament that embodies ourselves in some way or another. This would be perfect, as obviously me being here I love star trek, animals and Data is one of my favorites. Alas on the website I don’t see a direct way to buy this in Canada.

Trek word

The US centricity is actually an interesting topic in-universe. Especially because the federation should try and work hard to make member worlds feel equal. Having so much Americentrism would alienate the aliens. The federation has done a bad job of this 😆

Of course the real answer is that the people that make it are American and it’s probably largely for American audiences and therefore producers and writers feel like they need to show people things they are comfortable with. And when they do show other cultures they are seen through an American lens. Which is why the Irish were so cliche that O’Brien even teleported the straw around their feet when they beamed into Picard’s enterprise. 👨‍🌾

Which Lemmy am I in? Which way to the daystrom institute?

I’m taking it at face value that old earth figures of speech and idioms would be problematic on a TAS bridge with the nomaly going on, they addressed that by the cat person responding that “there is more than one way to disembowel a human”, we wouldn’t like people casually throwing that around. It’s also tongue in cheek as illustrated by the knickerstonians and the ship blowing up. It’s meant to be silly.

The tapestry of star trek (and science fiction) has always included silly and over the top alongside the serious, thought provoking and intelligent.

Cornering the star trek parody and comedy market with their own product is genius btw. Like how Elvis’s manager sold “I hate Elvis” shirts.

I’ll take one

I’ve tried but with my limited skills, no luck so far.

So I’m the kind of person who runs back ups using two synologies and is more of a GUI guy. I use mac and pcs very fluently but I’m not entirely terminal or command line literal.

Will something like this cause more problems if I’m looking to get rid of Google drive and start switching to next cloud or will this make my life easier?

Maybe the universal translators got confused with the probability field and Auto-Tuned everyone 😆

My thought was, how bad would it be without autotune? 😬

I just enjoyed it for what it was at surface level, though. First, the Orville, then lower decks and now this showed that star trek is big enough to be funny and thought-provoking.

Oh my god, we had to rewind that twice. I haven’t laughed so much in a star trek show as I have with that.

I don’t like musicals either. But I was impressed that the reason everyone was singing was thoroughly encountered, explained and responded to in a classic star trek science fiction way. It was completely at home with how phenomena are explored in TNG and classic series. They didn’t shoehorn it in just to try and make a musical for no reason, and didn’t drop developing the characters and story while doing it either.

I had a lot of fun, and laughed harder than watching any lower decks episodes.
