Just as they were starting to figure it out and make a movie that if you squinted enough allllmost felt like a real star trek movie.

Like the global links from Earth final conflict.

I loved how Lower Decks brought commemorative plates into the canon.

Man I love how insanely hard kaleidescope themes used to go.

For the TNG finale here in Toronto they had a big celebration at the Skydome, our local large sports arena. They played the eps back to back on the big Jumbotron. My dad was always one for a party, so he took me down there. The place was packed with all sorts of super fans, dressed up and being freaks. My dad wasn’t a huge trek fan, but he knew what it meant to me, so he stuck it out and even got into it. I love that memory.

I met a guy there who had fully modded his Playmates Tricorder toy to have flashing lights and sounds. It awakened something in me.

OP: I’m super jealous you got to go to Star Trek: The Experience. Woweeee. Lucky.

After watching “The Offer” I’m totally in on this idea. It would be awesome.

Wow that sculpt compared to the others is like NIGHT AND DAY. Very impressive.

Oh for pete’s sake.

Thats a backrooms I’d almost enjoy being cursed to be lost in.

I love Future’s End. It’s so much fun!!

Adjacent to the bridge. Close enough.

It was cool how they killed off Kirk though. He died as he lived; on the bridge!

Lower decks is the only star trek my kids give a damn about, we’ve watched every season together. The only reason they even considered watching SNW is cause they knew Mariner and Boimler were in the episode.

I’m going to really miss it.

Canon is a beautiful lady and we love her.

Smart watches really feel like the palm pilots/pdas of this generation.

They ain’t hurtin anyone by having some fun.

I wish 12 year old me was still here to see this he would’ve flipped.

Oh for petes sake.

I dunno what everyone else is using pis for but for me it’s not media centers or servers. The pi has a full gpio header with i2c and spi. I can hook up LCD screens, sensors, servos, etc without much additional components. It’s like an Arduino except I get a real file system, network stack, multicore performance.

It’s more than just a single board computer it feels like an ultra microcontroller.

I feel like this whole “micro PCs are better than raspis” is coming from the group of people who never really used pis for what they were intended? I don’t know. Maybe I’m out to lunch here, I’m not trying to defend the pi because it is definitely a really bad choice for a lot of things but honestly despite all the bad blood they’ve accrued there still isn’t an sbc that can really match it’s utility and community support at least that I’ve seen.

War never changes.
