Thank you for saving me from having to look up Kirk’s allergy. It was going to bug me all day, otherwise.

If a bit too bold in the presence of his Imzadi.

I figure Riker stopped holding things of that nature back in front of Troi, after he realized that between her empathy and knowing him well, he wasn’t fooling her, anyway.

Sweet. It worked this time.

I hate having to reboot the simulation.

Edit: Debug: Did this post inside the sim?

Shit shit shit. Where’s that rollback script? And stop logging this to that comment-

I agree it’s a stupid theory.

But of course, if I designed the simulation, I don’t have to actually simulate any of the complex bits, I just have to alter each simulated person to remember successfully observing the results of the complex bits.

Edit: Of course, my solution breaks the infitine chain of nested worlds anyway. I don’t have to simulate infitine nested worlds in my simulation’s computers - I just simulate a small believable set of memories of having done so. So even those infitine nested worlds are just paper cutouts of the real thing.

I guess either way, I don’t spend infitine processing power, so the average person has a 50/50 chance of being inside or outside the top level simulation.

Edit 2: But ironically, each person has 100% chance of believing that they are taking part in an infinite set of nested simulated worlds - if my simulated memories are believable enough.

Someone who played a lot of flight sims in the 1980s may have unconsciously taught themselves to invert and now they consider that their innate preference

Yes. Yes, I do.

For what it’s worth, I’ve played with my buddy’s controller while he refilled the chips bowl enough to give uninverted a fair try. I play fine at it. I just don’t like it.

For those unfamiliar with the fictional character of Charlie Burke, this McGuyver link doesn’t help.

But, since that’s clearly a uniform from “The Orville”, this Charlie Burke may be more helpful.

I like pancakes, and that this Charlie’s legacy examines racism in a thoughtful empathetic but still critical way.

“Why does the navigator of the Enterprise have to watch his step?”

“Because the Captain does his doody on the bridge!”

People are too hard on Janeway. She didn’t have great options here. I’m sure if she could have, she would have sacrificed Ensign Kim - for not refilling the coffee replicator.

Definitely not unique to Stargate. I remember a cast member from Power Rangers commenting on how interesting it was that so many rock filled quaries were key strategic targets to the various forces invading earth…

The tactics in Wolfenstein: ET were brilliant.

“I’m sorry too, Dmitri. I’m very sorry. All right, you’re sorrier than I am. But I am sorry as well. I am as sorry as you are, Dmitri. Don’t say that you’re the more sorry than I am because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we’re both sorry, all right? All right.”

Then every question afterwards is just “who couldn’t get promoted even a single time during a years long mission in the Delta quadrant?”

Holy shit how did I not put it together when I thought that voice sounded familiar?

Apparently they sped up his voice to make it sound higher.

His story of how he got the job is really charming.

Per the Brony documentary, DeLancie’s granddaughters were fans of the show, and his wife verbally accepted the job for him before even telling him about it.

As I believe this is an Airplane! reference, and Trek indeed only has Sonic showers, I must conclude that Beverly has a drinking problem.

However, Microsoft seems to be abandoning local tools & recommending Azure-based management instead, like Intune.

Yeah. The stuff they can charge an annual subscription to. Lol

I’m not really mad, though. Azure and InTune seem to be genuinely also much better.

I’ve been enjoying all of these, but this one really tickled my funny bone.

“Thank you counselor. I’m already aware that your mother is on that ship.”

At the very least, they played a really memorable gig at Tenagra.

Of the games on this list that I have, they are, indeed great

Now I’m going to look away and pretend to forget, because I do not need to buy more games for my unplayed backlog, today.

Holy title gore, Batman.

But anyway, hooray.

“We have some exciting news to share: our talented developers gave Steam Deck players the option to play Assassin’s Creed Shadows at launch; despite initially announcing we wouldn’t be able to support until later,”

Edit: We just wanted to deny that we’re not not going to do the thing at said we wouldn’t not be able to do.
