This was most definitely my least favourite. Why show what Kionians look like in episode 1 when you’re just going to make them all look human in episode 7. Just seems lazy to me.

Genesis and Caleb’s story was better, but seemed out of character for Genesis. I also disliked the suggestion that men & women can’t be friends without falling in love with each other.

Its the best way. Its cheaper, you have plenty of user reviews to check first, and you get a completed game, without bugs.

I’m starting to like the Venari Ral quite a bit actually. They seem to be more like actual mustache twirling pirates rather than a tyranical government masquerading as pirates like the chain was. I’m waiting for Calebs mom to be re-introduced as his right hand in the finale.

I really like this take. I did get the impression that Dax is also kinda the wild child of the symbiotes too, for many of the reasons you listed. They are also very passionate about their friends. They chose to uphold a blood oath that even the Klingons didn’t consider binding, they stood by Sisko for 3 lifetimes, they refused to break the confidence of one of Curzon’s married lovers, at the risk of their life, and they protected Jake’s book, for many centuries. They hold onto these generational bonds, even though its taboo for the Trill.

AAA games are just too expensive and many are just not finished at release now. I’m not forking out top dollar for a half finished game. Outer Worlds 2 is still $89.99 CAD. That is absolutely insane in my opinion. I enjoyed the first one, but I also bought it on sale. Indy games nowadays are generally a better bang for your buck anyways and theyre only $30-40 regular price and they are also generally at a finished state or at the very least very honest about the state they are in.

I’ll probably pick the game up in 2 years when its $20 on Steam or something.

Or not a teenager worried and stressed out about how and when to talk to their parents or something.

From what I’ve been told Trekker was the OG term and Gene started calling fans Trekkies at conventions because he thought it sounded better. I don’t know if it’s true or not.

I very much enjoyed this one. I’ve always loved Klingon culture and Worf was always my favourite main cast member. In TNG/DS9 we often saw a juxtaposition between Klingon honour and victory/power at any cost that often took over. I really found it heartening that Klingons post burn are willing to risk extinction for their culture when 800 years ago many wouldn’t think twice to using dishonourable means to get a seat on the council.

Lol, I guess that is a thing. They also just jacked the price on that, didn’t they?

No multiplayer paywall, but they’ll probably try to charge you some sort of subscription anyway that’ll end up costing more in the long run.

I played the demo this morning and really enjoyed it. It seemed a little rough around the edges, I had some problems navigating the ship and finding rooms, but it seemed pretty good. Its on my wishlist now.

Man, I was soooo excited about the PS5, but then it turned into such a shit show to get one that I just put my money into my PC and I never even got around to picking one up when availability became more reasonable. I don’t think I’d ever really want to get back into the console gaming space anymore.

I honestly assumed that she’d be one of the main instructors. Especially with Micheal saying something about Tilly being the Acadamy’s longest serving instructor (or something like that) in the Disco epilogue.

I had been thinking about it for a while. I had played with linux before on an old laptop, but not seriously, though I had been getting more frustrated with windows every time it updated it seemed. I then got the urged to play an old game of mine that i had picked up on a steam sale recently that i hadn’t played in years. It took hours of tinkering and web sleuthing to get it to run, then i played 20 min had to run to town, so I shut down my PC and bam. Windows update. Game no longer worked again. The next weekend I installed Linux mint, then Fedora, then the weekend Bazzite the weekend after that. The game I wanted to play on windows worked right out of the box on Proton. I’ve had less problems overall with Linux than Windows too. Most of the problems I did have early on were also self inflicted. Pro-tip don’t try to remove then re-install the lastest python manually in mint. It breaks everything apparently, luckily (unlike Windows) its very easy to re-install. It’s been about 7 months now.

Thanks for the recommendation. Once I found the “n” I mistyped as “m” in one of the file directories it actually went quite well. I looked at setting up sonarr & radarr, but its really just me and my partner using it right now, so I’ll put that on the back burner until I get more storage.

Thanks I’ll look into this tonight. I’m still trying to wrap my head around dockers and containers etc. I think I’ve a pretty good handle on it now, but it still hurts my brain after a while.

So, I already pay for Proton VPN, mostly for the E-Mail, but I do use the vpn currently on my main PC to torrent, which I then manually transfer to my server over the network, but I would like to eliminate the middleman and torrent directly to the server, while still being able to easily remote in. I run CasaOS on my Homelab and I was planning on installing qbittorrent in a container, probably through Portainer. I’m already running Soulseek on the server the same way (originally I was running slskd, but it was overly complicated to set up and once it was set up and working there were lots of upload errors and I didn’t like the UI, so I changed to a Nicontine+ docker), but that’s just open to the web.

Yeah, sounds about right. Server is on my home network and I’ve forwarded the applicable wireguard ports on my router so I can remote in. I just want to make sure that if I’m running a torrent client on my server or on my phone while I’m connected remotely then I won’t be getting angry letters from my ISP.

I was actually just reading about VPS’. So would I run into problems if I was torrenting on the VPS? My plan was originally to have my phone always connected to my network (I stream a lot of music at work and sometimes torrent on my phone, then upload the files to my server) and just set up my server on a vpn, but I really wasn’t sure that was possible or practical.

I found four and a half vulcans the weakest episode in my opinion, but a friend of mine loved the episode. My biggest problem with the episode, other than why was it really necessary, was actually pointed out by Kirk in the episode. They didn’t actually even act like Vulcans they were just dicks, Pike especially was uncharacteristically rude and would have never treated anyone the way he treated Spock in the episode.

Most of the season scored between 5-7/10 for me. Terrarium was an 8.5, Vulcans was a 4, This is Starfleet was a 3, but if it was filmed differently could have been so much better. I really this that This is Starfleet had one of the better stories and checks a lot of “Classic Trek” boxes for me.
