I never celebrated "over there," but I like you guys (lemmy.world)

Apparently, it’s been a year since the “Great Migration” and my intrepid decision to give the Lemmy fediverse a go. Since dabbing my toes into what has since become a creative outlet and hobby for me, I’ve found a fair few friends and like-minded enthusiasts for our favored franchise. Thank you all for still putting up...

kaitco,

It’s been about a year for me, too. I never engaged in the Trek community “over there”, but y’all are a fun set of folks here. Cheers!

kaitco,

I don’t think she was a bad actress, but she was “cluttering up” the bridge. Worf was always a far more interesting character and, once she was gone, Worf got to shine brighter.

kaitco,

Took a nap FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!!

kaitco,

The fact that two Rikers existed is all the proof I need to be full Luddite. Save your death machines for the next person, thanks!

kaitco,

Well shoot! I’d never thought about that and now I’m mad!

Give Tom Riker his promotion!

kaitco,

Life will find a way…to violate the prime directive.

kaitco,

I got a RuPaul’s Drag Race set of these for my bestie.

This set is currently sitting in my Amazon “Save for later” cart.

kaitco,

You’re not sorry at all! Admit it!

kaitco,

sends the entire Bajoran army after you for trying to get her to step down…

kaitco,

Vic Fontaine is a legit person??

The thing you learn on c/tenforward!

kaitco,

Despite it being the weakest of its generation

Ackshually…………

The PS2 was still being produced until PS4 was introduced, and its last game was released even after the production ended in 2013 (Nov 2013, but still…)

PS1 and PS2 were both masters of their generations. The OG Xbox was just really “Halo box” back then, and GameCube was awesome, but not as strong as PS2.

kaitco,

Please don’t. This is great!

kaitco,

Too bad they didn’t have this attitude before cutting 1900 jobs, most of them Blizzard employees and making the cut after promising not to make massive cuts.

kaitco,

Outside of miscasting Clone Picard, I actually kind of liked Nemesis. I know I liked it more than Generations, albeit I’m newer to Trek and I’m unsure what sort of blasphemy I’m speaking there….

kaitco,

Yikes…this was definitely not one of Geordi’s better moments. 😬

kaitco,

Isn’t everyone in this image played by Coombs?

kaitco,

“It’s highly addictive!”

Sorry…wrong sub…

kaitco,

It’s completely asinine for a game to cost this much, especially since it is going to be chock full of equally asinine microtransactions and costly DLC.

The “patient games” methodology is the best way to approach all gaming these days because, odds are, the game won’t be worth the $20-30 later price point anyway.

kaitco,

William, a hole is a hole, Riker.

kaitco,

Dang! I’m mad I missed the 70s! Y’all had style down back then.

kaitco,

They never really lost it either.

For real!! Everybody is rocking in this pic!

kaitco,

kaitco,

Yes.

kaitco,

I spent ungodly amount of hours in this game as a kid.

Ever play through all of the first World using a DDR mat?? Because that’s the only way to know you’ve mastered the game! 😅

kaitco,

The correct answer is Picard in those glasses.

kaitco,

I thought this was the underlying plot for Star Wars…?

kaitco,

Spock is the reason for the season.

kaitco,

Insert gif: Obi-Wan saying “that’s why I’m here”

kaitco,

Of course, I wait for the evidence, and don’t speculate wildly and publicly.

Yes, but think of the ratings and clicks garnered by speculating wildly and publicly! You’re missing out!

kaitco,

Granted I’ve only seen them both once a piece, I don’t dislike Nemesis quite as much as I disliked Generations or Final Frontier.

I could follow what they were trying to do with Nemesis and I thought the ending was neat. Final Frontier left me with a “what the hell was that…?” sensation I just can’t seem to shake.

kaitco,

At the rate we’re going, we’ll miss the Bell Riots for sure!

kaitco,

Ohhhhh…

This is where everyone went. The Trek content on my feed had seemingly dwindled down to nothing recently!

Also, as someone who’s already been brutalized by Abrams, those Treks will be skipped as I continue this journey.

kaitco,

Why won’t you ever consider the shareholders?! Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders!

kaitco,

“More recently, you have described our DMA compliance as ‘hot garbage,’ a ‘horror show,’ and a ‘devious new instance of Malicious Compliance.’ And you have complained about what you called ‘Junk Fees’ and ‘Apple taxes.”

I’m sorry, but this exchange is just plain hilarious to me. 🤣 It reads like a recording between a couple going through an acrimonious divorce.

kaitco,

It would be outrageous if the game were performing well, and yet people keep dropping it as they insist on fracking up each “season”.

kaitco,

Heck, I remember when Fall Guys was all the rage.

kaitco,

See y’all in 2038!

kaitco,

End of an era. That said, while RB4 was one of the first Xbox One titles I ever bought, I don’t think I’ve picked up my guitar or mic in about 4 years, let alone bought any new music.

As long as the music just stays available, I’ll probably still jump in again some day, but kudos to them for putting out weekly music since the Rock Band 1 days in the 360 era.

kaitco,

Who could have seen this coming?? Who???

kaitco,

Have you played Dragon Age: Origins? It’s an older title, but sounds like it has everything you want.

And, if your itch can be scratched with something other than dragons, I’d recommend Mass Effect. The very first game in the trilogy is very much an RPG while the second and third games are more story and character focused. Overall, it’s just a good gaming time.

kaitco,

I didn’t need to buy my PS5 either, but my PS4 was a much older device I’d bought cheap from a co-worker and I felt like it was getting slow.

The bonus of having both is that the PS4 is comparatively light and compact, so I can travel with it, and for the two PS5 exclusives I have, there is an option to remote play the PS5 on the PS4, so I’m generally happy with my purchase.

All that notwithstanding, I’ve got an Xbox One X and I’ve seen no real need to upgrade that to a Series X. There are no Xbox exclusives for the Series X/S that have been driving forces.

This generation honestly feels like it lacks direction. The consoles are more expensive and are huge devices, with controllers that now cost more than games. With the original scarcity of the newer consoles, nearly four years into this generation, new releases are still available for the older gen. I feel like we’re reaching a point where console evolution either needs to take an enormous leap, or we just stop seeing console generations altogether.

kaitco,

… it’s just so accessible when the gaming I want to do just isn’t feasible due to life and work.

And, there it is. Just about anyone can game these days due to the ubiquitousness of mobile devices. When you think about the time it takes to play a PC or Console or even handheld game, a phone can have you going in seconds versus getting to the console, console updates, game updates, get the headset, find charged controller, and get into a game. You have to be determined to play a Console/PC game, but a mobile is always right there.

“Everyone” has a phone and so the total number of people who will play a mobile game is extraordinarily increased as well as the number of people who will spend money on them.

I remember when I worked for a bank, a customer back in like 2008 was mad that the bank kept shutting off her card thinking that she had fraud. It was Facebook who had sent the suspected fraud to us. The woman was in her 50s and was spending so much money on FarmVille (yep, that ancient one) that Facebook thought it had to be either a banking error or fraud. Turns out, she just really wanted her farm to flourish and was spends thousands a day to do so.

That was back before smartphones took hold. The impressions of smartphones overall exceeds that of something like Facebook, and so I’m sure other games have found whales in unexpected places just like that one lady I spoke to all those years ago. (I do hope she found help for her problem before they shut off that FarmVille version…)

kaitco,

I hear you. I just want to play Hogwarts Legacy without the added drama and commentary… 😬

kaitco,

“Had to be me. Someone else might haven gotten it wrong.”

Brutal every time. 😭

kaitco,

I might try this out today!

This could be the better option for those of us who don’t want to go full SteamDeck, but also want something that could be better than SteamLink.

kaitco,

It’s been hit or miss for me sometimes. Overall, I just like the idea of having alternatives.

kaitco,

…updates to its Xbox app on Windows 11

Pass.
