- Comment on The Stars of Star Trek: Section 31 Know Why You're Nervous About the Movie 1 week ago:
Right, it’s Sisko’s “It’s easy to be an angel in paradise…” from season 1. That’s the main theme of the whole show - how do the Federation’s ideals hold up in significantly less than ideal conditions? What does it mean to be “the good guys” when all of the choices in front of you are varying degrees of bad?
People always mention the later season, understandably so, but it carries through the entire series. In some ways, it’s even more prominent in the early seasons when DS9 is portrayed as being pretty remote, Federation back up is far away, the main cast is own their own, and the e Cardassian fleet is always nearby.

- Comment on Windows 11 takes a break on updates until 2025 | Digital Trends 2 months ago:
Personally, none. But my home machines all run Linux and my work machine is still on 23H2. But I’ve read a few stories about wider-spread-than-normal issues with the update.

It will take at least that long to fix 24H2….

I work at a place that uses Azure to run everything (not my choice…).
Everything we have runs on Linux containers, Linux Azure functions, and a VM that runs Ubuntu.
You can run Windows on Azure but you certainly don’t have to.

- Comment on OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet 4 months ago:
There are teams where I work that are basically using Excel as a database and SharePoint as S3 in automated processes… But at least no one is going to DIE when those things fall over!

The product may have been useless, but they had some awesome art for their advertisement!

The only possible way Microsoft can be this bad at naming things is if they are actively doing it on purpose.

Yes! Link to the Past is a brilliant game - definitely one of my favorite games of all time.
I second the recommendation of Link’s Awakening and Link Between Worlds since you liked this one so much.

Sorry, I meant south like Mississippi.
- Comment on A "Healthy Amount of Cheese" is always an Unhealthy Amount of Cheese. 11 months ago:
Did the person happen to have a southern accent?
As someone from the south, that’s what “healthy” means when used to describe an amount of something. It means “a lot”.
Also, if you say someone looks healthy you’re basically calling them fat, depending on tone of voice and inflection.

- Comment on Let's remember some Star Trek games 1 year ago:
How is it that no one has mentioned the Star Trek Starfleet Command series???
Starfleet Command Orion Pirates is a fantastic game and one of my favorites of all time!
- Comment on Star Trek Resurgence Giveaway 1 year ago:
I really enjoyed Starfleet Academy on SNES. But my favorite games were the Star Trek: Starfleet Command games on PC, especially Starfleet Command Orion Pirates.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
Any town with a wall around it in Oblivion is instanced.
Also, you have correctly recognized Morrowind’s superiority. I highly recommend the Tamriel Rebuilt mod that adds a lot of the land mass of the rest of the province outside of the island of Vvardenfell!
- Comment on What is your gaming "comfort food" and why? 1 year ago:
Morrowind! It’s such an amazing game and such a break from reality. There is tremendous depth there, if you go and look for it, but you can also just dungeon dive and smack monsters in the face with a sword if you want.
Check out OpenMW for a great, easy to use, source port of the game engine.
