Yeah, I agree. The musical was great in part because it stood out from the rest of the season. I do think there’s some good Trek in the genre episodes and it’s actually not too far off from the other series doing their holodeck/time travel/western etc. episodes but with half as many episodes I wish it was more consistent in tone.

clunky and slow interface of email that for some reason we continue using 30 years later
Email is actually great, it’s the original fediverse - anyone can start a server and interoperate with everyone else. With a decent client it doesn’t need to be clunky either, although with 90% of people stuck in webmail I can understand why people think it sucks.

Star Trek Social Club•New 'Star Trek' Movie Writers Tease "Dark" Story And New FranchiseEnglish
7·10 days ago“Two movies we cite as comps for what we’re hoping to do are Training Day and Crimson Tide,” Goldstein tells Inverse.
Hmm, I like both of those movies but way different vibes. Crimson Tide might as well already be a Trek script, but Training Day? Freshly minted Captain versus effective but corrupt badmiral perhaps? XO and captain maybe?
My hopes this will be made are pretty low, but there could be some good Trek here. Especially if they actually made a movie that wasn’t a cameo fest (it does say all new characters).

41·20 days agoI’m not sure I agree this is an awful location if you’re going to make a big studio campus. It’s not in Austin atm but it will be eventually (it’s currently surrounded) and 290/183 are useful veins. You say “outside Manor” like it’s also not ~10 miles from the capitol and downtown. In LA terms that’s basically nothing.
That said, as an eastsider, yeah fuck the billionaires generally and the Ellisons specifically.
Trans? More power to you.
CIA? Go fuck yourself.
Haha, me too. I watch a streamer, Vulrhund, fight ten thousand zombies and end up in a powered bachelor pad that he built, plastered, painted and furnished over the course of an in game year…
Meanwhile I have like 500 hours and my last death was eating lethal mushrooms I foraged on day three. My best run ever was maybe 2.5 months. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually lived long enough to harvest any crops I planted.
If you’ve read all the OG Dune content, I say go for it. They aren’t at the same level, but they’re… Fine. Get it from the library or wherever and try it. Go in with low expectations and possibly get pleasantly surprised, or never pick them up again.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Star Citizen has a disastrously laggy stream with horrendous vibes, which isn't a great look when you're past $1 billion in fundingEnglish
8·24 days agoTurns out I liked the game only because of what I thought the game could be instead of what it actually was.
I never played Star Citizen, but this is kinda where I ended up with No Man’s Sky. I played it at launch and again earlier this year and there’s definitely some fun to be had but nothing fits together right, or feels fully realized. NMS lost a coherent vision of the game at some point and eventually it just made me itch to play better games that were more focused.

2·25 days agoFuck a movie, we need a Xena sequel series. Get Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor back to pass the torch to a new generation of ass kicking women.
Ideally, both of them could be regulars as well, I just don’t think they’d be down to do the fights anymore.
Totally. I had a few runs on it while it was in the unstable branch and the new mechanics are great, but firing it up after the stable release and seeing all the love put into older map locales really made it feel like a brand new game.

2·1 month ago3 all day, every day. I can no longer sit normally, I can only lounge.
My favorite of all time is Psyduck because I identify with him and frequently have to control myself from freaking out when minor things go wrong.
I also like Squirtle and Turtwig lines.
Pokopia is easily my favorite game in the series too, just because it lets you work together instead of battling, and it made me appreciate some others like Ditto or Piplup.
It’s basically the best virtualization platform. It can do full system emulation across a number of platforms, or hardware assisted virtualization (using KVM). It’s incredibly useful for debug as well as doing real work.

5·1 month agoCompete with AMD as well. They don’t license the designs directly, but the reason they’ve dominated the last couple generations of consoles is they’re willing to do custom work where Intel traditionally was more “take it or leave it”

I’ve never seen a repo so reticent to tell you what it is.
My guess is it’s the journal software running the .org but everything also seems to be down half the time.
















TIL Ivan Dixon, who I know mostly as Sgt. Kinchloe on Hogan’s Heroes, was radical as fuck. I have to check this movie out.
