Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•[Prodigy spoilers] 30 Years Later, Star Trek Finally Pays Off Its Strangest Sci-Fi TwistEnglish5·1 year agoDude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•Could any of the main characters of Prodigy have been affected by the Borg assimilation in Picard S3?English4·1 year agoRok would still be considered an adolescent, if the lore from Star Trek: New Frontier applies, from which her species was largely fleshed out.
At that age, she would be very gruff and moody, only after molting in her 30’s (I think?) would she regain her more bubbly personality.
Wooster@startrek.websitetoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•Food: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Across the Supply ChainEnglish61·1 year agoDairy cows and beef cows are different breeds. There’s hardly any overlap worth mentioning. For the purposes of these kinds of reports, they might as well be different species.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Japan forces Apple and Google to allow third-party app stores and paymentsEnglish41·1 year agoIs that last one granting access to closed APIs?
That’s a double edged sword if I ever heard one.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Paul Giamatti Boards ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’English7·1 year agoNot impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.
And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto [Dormant] Electric Vehicles (Moved to !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net)@lemmy.world•Why China is winning the EV warEnglish51·1 year agoAutomakers care about how much R&D they have to invest and the impact on the quarterly profits. ICEs are dirt cheap in that regard, and it took the federal government bribing them to do so.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto [Dormant] Electric Vehicles (Moved to !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net)@lemmy.world•Why China is winning the EV warEnglish12·1 year agoBecause US automakers and oil interest groups actively sought to keep the status quo?
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•I'm shocked how much the Appstore sucks in 2024English4·1 year agoThis is a large reason why I dreaded Apple making iOS apps a priority for the Mac. Everything wrong about the mobile model becomes a first class citizen.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Vision Pro Customer Interest Dying Down at Some Retail StoresEnglish1·1 year agoYeah… there were a bunch of issues with the Virtual Boy.
A Sudo 3D experience on hardware that couldn’t handle 3D graphics, needed to be setup on a table, and a color palette that made the GameBoy seem high fidelity, never mind the red was horrid to stare at for too long.
It really was ahead of its time… in all the wrong ways.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Vision Pro Customer Interest Dying Down at Some Retail StoresEnglish1·1 year agoI suspect, nothing less than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft going all in on their next generation console would be enough to bring VR mainstream. As in, the VR being the primary way to play.
Of the three, I can’t see Sony or Microsoft doing it.
Maybe Nintendo, as doing weird stuff is kinda their thing, but even that’s doubtful.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a bad writing trope you hate in fantasy fiction ?English11·1 year agoThis is specific to the videogame-ish sub-genre, mostly Isakeis…
But you go out of the way to include RPG mechanics into your story… but the only real influence it has on the storytelling is spending an inordinate amount of time grinding… a mechanic explicitly added to RPGs to pad the game.
There are good video game based stories, Survival Story of a Sword King and Dungeon Reset both immediately come to mind… but I feel like this is a widespread problem.

I don’t really see how that can be considered ’cheap’.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Preview ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5 Premiere With New “Red Directive” & “Under The Twin Moons” ImagesEnglish1·1 year agoThey’re all beautiful shots, but something about them doesn’t leave me curious about their contexts. I wish I could articulate it better….
Like maybe it’s not enough of a tease?
Or maybe that you could’ve told me most of those shots were from S4 and I wouldn’t question it?
Or the lack of a contextual caption maybe?
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•‘BioTrekkie With The Admiral’ YouTube Series Returns For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5English3·1 year agoLethe. That’s who I was thinking of. Like Cornwell was Lethe before she became Lethe.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•‘BioTrekkie With The Admiral’ YouTube Series Returns For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5English3·1 year agoWasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?
I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Difference Between Nerd and GeekEnglish47·1 year agoIf this is a joke, it’s going over my head. But as I understand it:
Geek: Socially Acceptable, Really smart about a particular topic, or in general. Nerd: Socially awkward, really smart about a topic or in general. Dork: Socially awkward, not especially bright.
Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•The Future of ‘Star Trek’: From ‘Starfleet Academy’ to New Movies and Michelle Yeoh, How the 58-Year-Old Franchise Is Planning for the Next Generation of FansEnglish1·1 year agoMaybe maybe not? At the very least least it tells us where Carl dropped Georgiou off.

Wooster@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Breaking - Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 Is Out Now In France! – Trek CentralEnglish8·2 years agoI would recommend two pins.
One being the season one you’re proposing… and a second for a focal episode to discuss and cycle it out every two days.
So for the first two days we’d focus on the first episode (episodes? It’s a two parter) then the pin would be swapped with the next episode.
This would allow more in depth discussion while acknowledging binge watching.
Debatable.
TNG did have a crossover with a forgotten sitcom named Webster. https://blog.trekcore.com/2015/03/tng-webster-crossover/
And who can forget Voyager having a wrestling episode.
