honestly, people are right when they say the similarities between trek and wars are superficial because trek is heady scifi and wars is space opera, but both do ultimately deal with the struggles and pitfalls in creating a better ~~galaxy~~ world and shit like Deep Space 9 and the Zahn SW books (hell, and SG-1 and Babylon 5) show that special things happen they try to meet in the middle

i think threadiverse is the move. partly because it's already in regular use and partky because it's very self-explanatory. forumverse could have some legs to it now that more traditional forum software like nodebb and soon flarum support federation now, maybe it could refer to the broader category containing traditional forums and the threadiverse, but i feel like leaving out the "fedi" part kinda defeats the point (threadiverse at least partially maintains it by being a pun on it). maybe fediforums is the way to go?

it's a whole 'nother can of worms but ironically in my experience the "verse" part of threadiverse is more offputting than the "thread" part because people think "metaverse," but that's just anecdotal and the term fediverse itself already has too much momentum to easily fall out of fashion

having cameron not be crichton is still the funniest thing in the world to me

you spend most of your time "hopping on a quick call," replying to an email reiterating what you said last time, and doing the needful

calling these "game boy clones" isn't quite right because they don't take physical cartridges, but this is a real shame. companies like them and Miyoo and Retroid have been carving out a nice niche of gaming devices between a fully locked down console and a Whole Ass Personal Computer but this tariff situation is gonna kill them in their tracks stateside

i'm definitely gonna wait until hori releases a joycon 2 pro set or whatever before getting a switch 2. even just the regular joycons are an ergonomic nightmare, and my hands are fucked up to the point where that makes the difference between whether or not i can play for more than five minutes. and even if they release a better mouse, if it's not a vertical mouse then it's the same issue. you'd think with the huge role computer inout devices play in out daily lives, ergonomics would be a bigger focus by everyone across the board!

trip is best engineer because he does acrobatics like sliding down the stairs and climbing on the warp core

Yes, but cleanly. Taste the meat, not the heat!

Now you listen to me, Senator. I work for a livin', and I mean real work, not writin' down gobbledegook! I provide the people of this community with naquadah and naquadah accessories. Oh, when I think of all my hard earned tax dollars goin' ta pay a bunch of little twig-boy bureaucrats like you, it just makes me wanna ... oh ... oh God ... it just ...
