Good for them. Wealthy owners should be paying for stadiums, not extorting taxpayers.
This has been a great alternative for me so far. Very straightforward and functional.
That’s awesome. Thanks for posting the pics and assembly.
Disappointed to hear this, but it sounds like they made the decision for good reasons at least. Their games are all standouts in an underserved genre.
Good for them.
Journey, and more recently Tunic, both had soundtracks that complemented their gameplay really well.
Yeah I mean it’s gotta be Quark and it’s not close. He also became the de-facto representative of life outside the Federation & Starfleet, which was one of the things DS9 really leaned in to.
Would be great to see some sustained support for this kind of infrastructure. I had the opportunity to go to Tokyo, and one of the things that amazed me the most was the (train-based) public transportation system.
The Freespace games are legendary in that genre. Probably second only to TIE Fighter.
That’s awesome to hear. I’m looking to set up some self-hosted stuff, and I see a lot of recommendations for Tailscale for the VPN element.
I’ve been burning through their DS9 episodes. Love Greatest Generation.
I’m sure this will work out well for them. The legacy social sites are really on a roll this summer.
Yeah I have no interest in Shorts (or TikTok for that matter), but I’m probably aged out of their target demo anyway. I do think, as a general point, platforms shouldn’t be trend-chasing each other. YT does longer form video well. TikTok does vertical video shorts. I say stick to your core competencies.
Yeah this is just them crying trying to get regulators to allow the Activision merger.
Yeah I think this is more a compatibility filter. If it’s an interest of yours and makes you happy, there is no cutoff.
Hard agree, and you can see some success stories here and there where communities get municipal broadband up and running. Legacy companies and GOP legislators on their payroll are very hostile to this however, preferring to loot the Treasury (in the form of subsidies) and continue delivering subpar service. Would be cool to see at a state/national level though.
Worf had the best explanation of the forehead situation all the way back in DS9. “We do not speak of it with outsiders.”
I think as a turn-key solution, the prebuilt enclosures are fine. I have a two-bay Synology that works well. If you’ve already got components though, DIY is probably going to give you a lot more granular control. I’m planning on building out a home server rack including a TrueNAS VM or something similar.
Oh great, another pivot to video. I feel like the lesson wasn’t learned the first time around.
Yeah it’s a special game, and a masterclass in “show, don’t tell” exposition.
