Rob T Fireflyto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?English81·2 days agobut then they’re in the far future, and you just wanna see more and more of what’s left of Starfleet in the future.
I never softened on that particular development. The Star Trek Universe I know and love is based in optimism, and I want to believe in a Federation that keeps adapting, improving, and ultimately continuing as a positive force moving forward through the dedicated collaboration of an infinitely-diverse collaboration of peoples.
Disco took that basic core of all the flavors of Trek we’ve ever had and said “LOL never mind, all the principled and optimistic stuff you loved leads to a dystopian crapsack future and everyone’s sadder assholes than before, u mad?”
This is glorious! I got into that game on desktop ages ago but haven’t played in a long time, and reading that post by the author has me really interested to play the mobile version.

Rob T Fireflyto Ask Lemmy•Where did you learn everything you needed to know about online discourse?English2·8 days agoI still automatically think “YOUR .SIG IS TOO HUGE!” when reading modern work emails with rows upon rows of name, job title, company, contact info, disclaimers, embedded graphics, etc. at the bottom.
Rob T Fireflyto Ask Lemmy•What are subscriptions that are worth it and subscriptions that are not?English3·8 days agoI’m happy to be a direct supporter of creative people whose work I enjoy; think Patreon and similar setups.
I find that making small monthly payments to a handful of independent folks who do work I love and who directly appreciate my support to be far more satisfying and worth it than subscribing to a wealthy and powerful media conglomerate thing which feeds me a bunch of crap the majority of which I don’t care about.

Rob T Fireflyto Ask Lemmy•What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another? English1·8 days agoI’ve always felt that owners of dogs and/or cats should have more than one, so they have one another to interact with when you’re not home. They’re meant to be social creatures and, assuming they don’t happen to incompatibly hate each other (which can happen), it’s a lot nicer and healthier for them than just leaving a single pet home alone all day.
