I want that for me
🥲
Never too late to get into production, it’s a tough, fast paced environment but it does have its perks
If you’re good at what you do, it’s not hard at all. Doesn’t even feel like work. The one thing it takes from you is time. Long long days, time away from family. It’s wonderful but it’s a doozy of a price you pay
Enterprise hallways have such a 70ies feel.
Thats a backrooms I’d almost enjoy being cursed to be lost in.
And sometimes you can here the faint calls of Lwaxana calling your name. Footsteps closing in
Joke’s on you I’d be into that

looks like any of the big startup HQs
God thats so fucking cool, I’m deeply envious
Yes I’ve been there, very relatable, but my experience was getting “beamed up” at Star Trek The Experience at the LVH in Las Vegas back in 2006. I’ll never forget the feeling of suddenly being on the bridge.
That was a fucking experience for sure. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s so sad no one will be able to experience getting beamed up like that again.
Oh no did they close the attraction
Yes. In 2008
How did it work??
The group entered the next room, where they were instructed via monitor about the shuttle ride when there was “trouble” with the monitors… then the lights went out. Dozens of small round flashes flickered through the darkness to simulate the “transporter effect”, accompanied by the transporter sound effect and a rush of cold air. When the lights returned, the walls and floor had changed… you appeared to be on the transporter pad aboard the USS Enterprise-D. The layout was similar to the usual transporter room as seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the group was facing a Starfleet uniformed transporter technician at their station.
Basically, out of the blue, you are “transported”, which if you weren’t expecting it, was absolutely convincing. It seriously felt like you were in one place then “poof” you were in another place.
Just left the same comment. It was surreal for the few moments you were on the bridge.
The other thing I remember vividly is the poor guy who ran up to one of the actors who was in full Klingon costume. The guy belted out some phrase in Klingon you know he had been rehearsing for weeks and stood there, proud and expectant. The actor glared down at him and in forceful English said, “I do not speak that dialect, human.”
I’ve never seen someone’s dreams be shattered so visibly and thoroughly in so short a time.
I bet someone experienced that on The Expanse, their sets were WILDLY complex. The Roci was a permanent fixture that rotated for maneuvers. Pretty cool. Nothing like a Trek set though I’d bet.

This is almost the exact experience I had playing Elite Dangerous in VR one time. I had my HOTAS mounted to the arms of my office chair so the whole setup could swivel. One day I was sitting in orbit over a planet researching a route or something. Ship sounds going in the headphones, comms coming in every now and then, then out of nowhere for just a brief moment I was in space flying that ship. I wish so badly that I could extend that feeling.
I’ve experience it a few times in VR. For a few fleeting seconds, my world is the world being projected onto my eyes. It rarely lasts long, but it is mind bending.
I’ve literally sat down in city centers surrounded by buildings. It’s an amazing feeling.
I have felt vertigo in high places in regular 3D games like Minecraft. I have to sit for VR Ghost Busters
I can’t imagine how immersed I’ll be in more immersive VR
Had it happen a few times in VR. A few times your just really in to it or intoxicated. The strongest was when I fell a sleep with the headset on and woke up and just accepted the entire environment for a solid minute.
There’s been some moments where I stood there quietly in VR where im just staring at the world not fully confident of I was in reality or in Half Life Alyx. It’s a real out of body experience…
I like the way the OP in the picture wants to start a horror kind of discussion and it immediately turns wholesome and heartwarming.
Wil Wheton talks about times outside of filming on TNG where he would flip the set power switch on in Engineering and just soak it all in.
He’s still posting mundane shit on Reddit daily. “I was working on the film industry and had a tangential relationship with ST…” Like dude, do you know who tf you are?
I had a chat with him on reddit about a random topic. No pretensions.
He’s a treasure
You have fallen through reality into the Trekrooms.
where it’s nothing but the stink of 80s carpet, the madness of red alert and endless backround noise of EPS manifolds at maximum hum-buzz
So heaven?
I wish I could experience that. I wish our sci-fi fairytales of space travel were happening now. Alas, I must simply exist in a life lived better than a king of old, living longer than our ancestors, with food untasted by the billions before us, and all while I fly around in space within Eve Online while watching Star Trek. Life is great, but it’s so easy to want it to be just that much better.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew gets you surprisingly close.
Not sure how popular it is nowadays.
Its strange to think that the game is nearly a decade old.
It doesn’t feel that long ago when you’d see a bunch of people playing with it and marvelling at the realism/newly added voice recognition features.
I marvelled at being able to stick my fingers in Spock’s nostrils.
Dude just got hit with Conceptual Embodiment
