I often play docked, but when I do I am usually playing something with high graphics demand (FFVII Rebirth) where I flip to desktop mode and use the Steam Link app to connect to my PC. If you are looking to play a really high end game via streaming, I recommended not using the SteamOS streaming and rather using the SteamLink app. Performance and controller detection work much better.

For local games I’m playing stuff more like Moonstone Island, Planet Crafter, etc and it works great. I like the ability to slap on some extra peripherals. I attach a small USB keyboard for games that occasionally need it, and a mouse, but I generally play with the PS5 controller I have.

My one beef is Smart TVs like my Samsung playing poorly with their stupid “smart device detection”… And it some times takes some playing around to get the video to connect properly (sound comes through)… A problem absent from my “dumb” Westinghouse TV/DVD combo LCDs i grabbed. So YMMV on connectivity if you have a less than well built Smart TV.

Fuck capitalism.

I recommend using Droidify client for FDroid, it has all the repositories and they can be easily enabled in its config, including microG.

Man, as someone living on Vancouver Island, I feel this. Miles and miles of gorgeous back country, much of it gated off and labeled private.

But, I get out and see what I can. And I have to say, there is nothing boring about it.

His battle form is Stretch Armstrong

Login with your mom 🤣

Magic link is lazy 2fa.

Implement TOTP support, you lazy fucks.

Had to come back and just say… This message is 🔥

“So, the question I’d ask to all these people watching - is this the person you want to follow into the future? An angry child with his finger on the trigger whose entire worldview…is based on a lie?”

Well according to the season finale it’s now… Duplicated itself in the replicator and is mating with itself? (If I caught that right)

I need to see this Talaxian Fur Fly

The reactions all around were well done and in a quite relatable way. Many memories of my own youth as well.

I’m going to follow up with a thought here.

Christopher = Christ like.

If opher means like… Then who is Nust in Nus’ culture? Their Christ?

Also I like how that parallels between the preferred names… Chris and Nus vs Christ and Nust.

Nustopher

Stood out for me because Im a Christopher.

I stared at that logo trying to work out what it said for a bit… When I finally noticed that the domain in the link was what it said… I realised just how unreadable that logo is…

Already some amazing points here, but I will add one thing:

No matter how utopian your empire becomes, those who grow up in utopia do not have their guard up watching for evil in every corner. The Star Wars flipping back and forth from Republic to Empire over the millennia makes sense.

The federation existed for barely a millennia in its first incarnation. A fall of a galactic empire makes sense. Rebuilding it makes for good story.

Especially, and I can’t stress this enough, when it is a parallel to the world we live in. Trek has always been a way to mirror events and teach moral lessons… But most of all, hope.

Seriously. Neurodivergent folks like myself stand an iota of a chance of being successful with a cubicle. Open floor plans are an assault on our senses and the wet dream of micromanagers. They are awful and the reason I exclusively work from home.

Yeah, tears wouldn’t stop flowing once they started. It was a good episode.

Those two have a Rimmer + Lister feel to them.

The teens arent vapid socialites and theres enough Trek Universe mixed in that it really doesn’t align with the typical teen drama.

EA is the publisher, not the game studio. They just aquire and profit from Studios that make good games.

And then they consistently enshittify them.

RIP Westwood, Maxis and many others.
