Indeed, communities like the ones from Star Trek or Star Wars are sometimes very vocal and some people starts insulting actors behind the cover of anonymity. That’s the fracking twitter effect.
What i mean is just if you don’t like it just move on with your life and don’t insult or attack people on internet. Maybe the next serie/film will be better (we went from DIS and Picard to SNW. SNW would not have existed without DIS so I’m glad for that overpowered Crossfield-class and its captains)

No, you can dislike some, like recently I did not like the Section 31 film.
But was I bitching about it on the internet ? No Was I happy to have another piece of the Trek universe to watch even if it was a bad one ? Yes
You give me Trek I happy to be able to consume Trek, end of story.

She’s the captain and chairman, she does whatever the fuck she wants. Those losers probably won’t even make it to Starfleet pre-selection.
Also, when you love Trek, you love all of them and are happy to have something new in the IP.
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 2 days ago:
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. I loved everything in that tactical spaceship battle game and I play it at least once a year (modded to work on 2026 hardware).
It’s so sad they never made the second one and the other games that somewhat look alike are, meh…
Then it was KSP, Cyberpunk 2077 and recently Clair Obscur.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 1 week ago:
I also think “normal non working” people on earth are closer to The Expanse depiction rather than perfect utopia.
Nothing is perfect, I like calling that a “normaltopia”. The federation might not always succeed at being an utopia but at fucking least they are trying.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 1 week ago:
Tbh Starfleet Academy makes a U turn on that decision the minute after, explaining that because of the war/burn they were jerks but they regret it and try to make amends bla bla bla.
Academy gave me this utopia feeling, but in 2026 it made me more depressed than hopeful as I finally realized that I will never find a Starfleet Academy on our world, aka a bunch of peoples working together to make humanity a better whatever if their skin is pink or they believe in the giant flying spaghetti monster.
- Comment on Is there a way to filter news on lemmy 2 weeks ago:
If you still want to see news sometime, just subscribe to everything silly you want to see and only scroll on your home (subscribed) feed.
Don’t go on all unless you want to doom.
Or use piefed when the same strategy but use the dedicated feeds to sometimes explore news or other subjects.

Sad panda noise 😔
But if you can find the cheese it is really easy to do and homemade one as there’s 2 ingredients; cheese and cheese. Just use a machine to shred it because doing it by hand is not fun.
Since I don’t drink and don’t want to go to another shop to buy shit white wine, I replaced it with cheap blond alcohol free beer, it’s perfect.

So the term “Swiss cheese” for those industrial blocks is legitimate, it’s our fault 😔
- Comment on 3 months ago:
but nobody seems to claim fondue is fake cheese
Fondue is literally just shredded cheese. The typical Swiss fondue, la moitié-moitié (half half) is 50% Gruyère and 50% Vacherin + a little bit of cornflour if it’s an industrial one (otherwise it’s only cheese and you add cornflour if you want).
Other types are just different cheeses, from a single one up to a mixe of 3, varying from regional preferences.

- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 4 months ago:
Discovery is fine and at the time it was the only modern Trek we had so there’s that, it’s enough for me to like it.
The only problem I had with it is that every season is “OMG we have to save the all fucking universe!”, other than that it’s cool.
Then we had Strange New Worlds so my thirst for “let’s just explore that funny planet and have a drink at the mess” Trek was satisfied.
I still watch discovery because ‘spaceships goes piou piou piou eat my phaser’ and that’s what I want it to be.
- Comment on Borderlands 4's latest update aims to deliver more performance fixes, ends up causing more stuttering for some 4 months ago:
I haven’t notice anything but I play on an expensive 4k setup, and I am no visual nor sound professional, meaning I won’t see a difference between 60 FPS and 90, not even 30 maybe. I’m also a big simulation fan so I went through the hell of stupid and unrealistic bugs you can find in MSFS24 or Star Citizen, maybe that made me more resilient (Star citizen in alpha 2.xx was a real patience tester, even today on 4.3 you need to be really zen about some stuff ><’ )
I enjoy things for what they are without analyzing them, kinda “just live in the present” guy. For my Clair Obscur play through I had a beautiful game with perfect gameplay/music/story and encountered literally zero bugs or frame drops, I’m not saying the game as none, but I personally haven’t seen any.
From what I have seen the devs told in an interview how they used the last months they had to go bug hunting and assets optimizing in the UE engine. How they discovered old texture files not used in the final release still lurking in those gigabytes of data, how they could cheat things to make them lighter (like using low poly for hidden stuff or modifying a texture for a rock so they all use the same instead of several), found old assets that were supposed to be trashed, things like that.
That’s what I was talking about optimizing UE5 games, and maybe (probably?) Bordelands and other AAA studios just don’t do it because “time is money”.
- Comment on Borderlands 4's latest update aims to deliver more performance fixes, ends up causing more stuttering for some 4 months ago:
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is one. There’s probably plenty of other examples where the devs took the time to correctly clean their UE5 textures and stuff to optimize (at the end of a dev cycle you end up with tons of unused or redundant assets and textures, that’s quite time consuming to clean).

Ok, I just looked at the737-NG PFD RA and it looks different from what I know but I wasn’t aware that you had to hand fly it.
As the aircraft was climbing and with the yoke I guess it’s easy to push it a bit too hard and spill some coffee.

- Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport." 6 months ago:
Once the flight smoothed out, Ulasewicz, who was traveling to Las Vegas, said the pilot made an announcement indicating the plane used software to avoid a midair collision.
Apparently it was right before catering service and well into AP flight. As a europoor I only master Airbus so I don’t know how a 737 is supposed to respond to a TA/RA.
Let’s wait for better sources.

- Comment on My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet) 8 months ago:
I did a few exploration and chromatic bosses during the story but not much.
I didn’t want to be overpowered for the story boss as you can’t enjoy the battle and music when you almost ont shot things. You can even miss lore with some bosses.
So exploring is done now, with Esquie flying and the story done. I can build the cheesiest team I want now without having regrets.

- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. First time pay attention to the songs and I cried. This is the game that I cry over so many times. This is what I think about the game. Spoiler alert 8 months ago:
The game systems, graphics, feel, etc are a bit dated. It feels like something from 10-15 years ago.
Graphics??
You can not like the gameplay and stuff, but the graphics? It’s peak UE5 and well optimized, 99% of the players I’ve seen where making “wow” sounds at the prologue visuals and details, the underwater level and many more.
I haven’t tried low settings tho, I’m playing 4K epic, but graphics are definitely 2025.
