And they are, somehow, still providing regular updates to this day. Looks like their most recent major update was just a few weeks ago.

I can’t think of a single piece of art that doesn’t have flaws.

No Man’s Sky. Fight me.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 1 week ago:
Ignoring trains for a minute, there are even examples of towns in America being against new highways for the same reason. Breezewood, Pennsylvania is the town you see in that one meme image of “america”. The state did some weird tax/federal funding loop shenanigans by routing a highway through some little pit stop town and, now that the laws have been relaxed, the county and the businesses don’t care to fix it.
Although laws have been relaxed since then, local businesses, including many traveler services like fast food restaurants, gas stations and motels, have lobbied to keep the gap and not directly connect I-70 to the Turnpike, fearing a loss of business. In order for a bypass to be considered, Breezewood’s own Bedford County must propose it, which is “just not an issue that really appears on the radar for us,” Donald Schwartz, the Bedford County planning director, said in 2017.[1]
- Comment on Anon likes trains 1 week ago:
I’ve read articles in the past about high speed trains and/or just new train lines in general would get held up by little towns who didn’t want to lose the commuter traffic since it was the only thing keeping them afloat. There are too many towns that exist literally just to serve motorists and now nobody wants to get rid of them.

Just curious, do you know how many trees were MOLESTED to create that air you’re breathing?
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered troubleshooting 2 months ago:
I can (anecdotally) confirm the overclocking sensitivity. Although it seems to be more that this game just REALLY pushes hardware if you let it which is naturally gonna draw out overclocking instabilities.
- Comment on To whom it may concern 2 months ago:
IF you’re going to do this, make sure use some sort of sealed package (like the box in the photo). You used to be able to slap these things on like a sheet of plywood and just send it as is but now if the package isn’t sealed and is obvious misuse the post office can just throw it in the dumpster. If its a sealed package then the post office has to deliver it and the permit holder has to pay the charges. about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/…/updt_001.htm

This is a very good point. We’re supposed to be seeing how he becomes the Kirk we know.

It’s been a bit since I saw the original behind the scenes vid or whatever it was, what was the context?
- Comment on Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me? 2 months ago:
I think the silent protagonist choice is valid in more of “sandbox” story like BG3. Speaking for myself, voiced protagonists tend to “lock” me into a specific character. I absolutely love the voice acting for Geralt of Rivia but when I play a witcher game I’m not inserting myself into the game, I’m becoming Geralt and making choices based on how I believe Geralt would make them.

one of these creepy bastards got inside of my soap dispenser brush thing for doing the dishes. just threw the entire brush away D=
- Comment on Star Trek TNG Theme but the theme is coming from the Enterprise-D 🤣 4 months ago:
Broadcasting your own theme song while jetting around the galaxy in the flagship of the Federation is possibly the biggest Riker move I’ve ever seen hahahaha.
- Comment on Change my mind: SNW, SFA should fire their music departments and replace them with Chris Westlake!!! 😉 5 months ago:
lol I was gonna try and continue the joke but i went to look up the lyrics and this amused the shit out of me. It’s apparently more popularly known as “that song from star trek enterprise” than as a rod stewart song! at least that’s what it indicates to me. Image
- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 5 months ago:
LineageOS Android TV looks like an interesting solution but having SELinux in permissive mode is a bit scary. Maybe someone with more in-depth Linux knowledge can chime in here but my understanding is that would mean that the Android kernel’s security system would basically be turned off. Permissive Mode logs security access violations within the OS but does nothing to prevent them so I would be wary of connecting it to the internet.
- Comment on Death is a social construct 5 months ago:
She just hadn’t had her coffee yet okay! On a serious note though I have to agree with @Corgana@startrek.website. The evolving definition of “medical death” as more of a logistical necessity than anything is something that I never really thought about before.
- Comment on Death is a social construct 5 months ago:
Janeway apologist!
- Comment on NY woman who used to own "NCC-1701" license plate ticketed thousands of dollars because of cars with Star Trek novelty plates going through traffic cameras. 5 months ago:
“lopsided” font plate was almost a badge of honor back in the day lol because it meant that you had a front mount intercooler that needed air (and if you did the offset plate without an FMIC you were ridiculed endlessly for being a buffoon)
- Comment on 25 Years Ago, A One-of-a-Kind Movie Captured the Hearts of Star Trek Fans Everywhere 5 months ago:
Unironically this movie is in my top 5 favorite trek movies. It counts.
- Comment on Anon makes weed eggs 6 months ago:
I can’t speak for other countries, the EU banned it a while ago, but up until very recently a lot of citrus drinks over here in the U.S. used a chemical called Brominated Vegetable Oil as a stabilizer/emulsifier I think? So at least in the U.S. there can be fats in some sodas. Maybe enough for the THC?
- Comment on Anon makes weed eggs 6 months ago:
If you’re particularly lazy and want to check how a plant is doing you can even just microwave to activate it. put it in a glass cup with a damp paper towl under it, cover with a second damp paper towl, cover in plastic wrap except a small gap like you’re making a microwave dinner. Cook for a minute at a time on 20-30% power and let the steam release between cooks. Do that 2-3 times then remove nug from container and let it sit a few minutes on a plate or something.
- Comment on NBC created the perfect template for Star Trek to follow with future comedies 6 months ago:
The Orville got MUCH less satirical in season 2 and even more so in season 3. I assume Seth or someone let the writers off their leashes when they didn’t get sued by Paramount in Season 1.

The green hand? That’s the hand of Apollo. The actual Greek god Apollo.
- Comment on Star Trek: Lower Decks cast call for more seasons: "Until we're dust in the ground" 8 months ago:
I went in to this show expecting not to like it, that it was just going to make fun of something I loved for mass market appeal. I’ve never been so happy to be so wrong. This whole show is a love letter to Trek.
- Comment on Just for a moment 8 months ago:
This is almost the exact experience I had playing Elite Dangerous in VR one time. I had my HOTAS mounted to the arms of my office chair so the whole setup could swivel. One day I was sitting in orbit over a planet researching a route or something. Ship sounds going in the headphones, comms coming in every now and then, then out of nowhere for just a brief moment I was in space flying that ship. I wish so badly that I could extend that feeling.
- Comment on They encouraged us to insulate our home. Now it’s unmortgageable 10 months ago:
I was thinking the meters with the metal probes that go through yeah. Wasn’t aware that could exacerbate the issue.
- Comment on They encouraged us to insulate our home. Now it’s unmortgageable 10 months ago:
“At the root of the problem are cowboy traders (unlicensed tradesman/contractor) who apply the foam without a full survey or appropriate expertise – but because of lenders’ caution, this is affecting other homeowners who had similar work.” also “because surveyors are unable to inspect the roof timbers behind the layers [for moisture], mortgage lenders tend to issue blanket refusals on properties where any foam is present.” Maybe in the U.S. we just use wood moisture meters to check for moisture?
