I would be very excited to explore the in-game locations. Hopefully feel really immersed in the universe! And as /u/AlolanYoda@mander.xyz mentioned, I hope it will be possible to solve conflicts through diplomacy. That has always been Star Trek’s biggest draw for me, that it isn’t just about combat and fighting.

Yeah, they look like they’re upside down, what the hell. lmao

Don’t know if you’re looking for desktop software specifically, but back in the day I used Medisafe on my phone, and that would definitely be my first port of call, if I had to start keeping track of that stuff again.

Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life?

I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you’ve set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled....

I really loved Interview with the Vampire, so I was very excited for Mayfair Witches. But wow, those two are very different shows in tone, pacing and dialogue. It was very hard for me to get through Mayfair Witches, and I only finished it, hoping I’d end up liking it in the end. But I won’t be tuning back in for season 2, that’s for sure.

To be fair, I’ve never read the books. I have only ever read the Vampire Chronicles. So it may just be that I wouldn’t care for the books either.

However, in the spirit of this thread - I do want to check out the source material, Lives of the Mayfair Witches at some point. Could be that I’d enjoy it, even if I didn’t like the show.

I can’t find the source of this image with the exact same text, but this (Twitter link) looks to be the artist,

Oh, man, this really makes me want to re-read the entire series again.

I’ve recently gotten into audiobooks for the first time in my life. I wonder if there’s a quality production of His Dark Materials.

Wow, I had no idea! I gotta look into those too. Thanks for the head’s up!

This sounds really interesting! Can you post an imdb link? I’m only able to find an American show by that name, and it also has technology themes, so it’s making it hard to find anything else.

EDIT: Oh! It is this show, I just misunderstood your reply to ApathyTree, about it only being legally available in Australia and New Zealand. Thanks for the recommendation :)

That sounds absolutely amazing. Especially this:

just the right kind of cold where my fingers don’t get numb, and my face gets and stays chilly the whole time.

You put that into words so well. I love that sensation. And the cool, fresh air, when you take a deep breath.

Really excited to see that too! $160 for a screen is quite a bit pricier, so I’m very happy that I invested in a thick panzerglass protector.

@riot@lemmy.world avatar

Absolutely, I fully agree. Not saying it doesn’t make sense, also considering the fingerprint scanner underneath. $160 is just quite a bit more money for me, personally, than $43.

Wow, shapechange? That sounds interesting. I’d like to hear more about how it turned the tide of battle, if you are up for sharing :)

Damn, that sounds like one long epic fight! Thanks for the rundown. That was an interesting read. I love getting a look into how different people problem-solve stuff like that.

Never heard about this show before. I see it only has one season. Do you think it’s worth watching?

riot,
@riot@lemmy.world avatar

Well, I’m sold! But you’re right, it seems like it isn’t streaming anywhere, or even possible to rent it. Prices on Amazon are a little spicy too, so I may just have to put it on my list and keep a look out for it. Thanks for the recommendation!

I love teaser trailers like this. Enough to get me curious and want to check it out, but not so revealing that it feels pointless to watch the movie, like so many regular trailers do today.

Thank you for sharing. I’m adding that to my list of video essay playlists.

And throwing these YouTube playlists in the ring:

Image search led me to Knowyourmeme, which luckily had the source listed for the artist’s Twitter.

YouTube video of the incident here for those not familiar with Jack Karlson.

There’s also a Wikipedia page.

Thank you! Guess I’m not entirely awake yet.

As /u/ijhoo@lemmy.ml pointed out, you can do that in settings. And you can get to that setting easily by just hitting the “Customize…” at the bottom of the list in your screensot. The option will be towards the top.

Did anyone else dislike TOS in their youth but came around to it when they got older?

I was born in 1989, so I grew up with the TNG era and ENT, and I always dismissed TOS as a kid as the cheesy 60s original version that TNG remade and left in the dust. It wasn’t until high school that I actually sat down and watched TOS and fell in love with it. I even now wonder if Kirk is better than Picard, it’s a debate...

riot,
@riot@lemmy.world avatar

Well, this is making me reconsider if I should give TOS a chance one day. Maybe once I’ve caught up completely on everything else, I’ll sit down and give it a shot.

Something similar happens to me, when I login to the desktop site on my pc. I’ll briefly see a different username in the top right, before it switches to my own. It’s never been the same other username either, and so far, has also been actual users that it has shown me.

So based on that, I don’t think it’s Connect doing this to you. But I don’t actually know.
