Giving you an upvote for FFVII, that was the game that got me into gaming. Still have the best memories of that one

The current status is that he’s really active on lemmy still and will sometimes pop in on these type of posts and answer your questions.

He did do a follow up about how to take a poop when you haven’t for three days lol. So he clearly had trouble getting started again but I think he’s well now.

Thank you for another great update. Can’t wait to see how this app ends up 😁

They’re kinda fun! Just been figuring them out to upvote you!

Hi! I’m in the UK and use catbox for all my images here on lemmy. I read that I’m not supposed to be able to access it but I’ve not had any issues

Yeah I had a similar issue and I think it was to do with the hack that happened. I deleted all my cache and app data, signed back in again and no problems since.

Yeah there is a lot of story in there and the whole episode feels gritty. Patrick Stewarts acting is solid from season 2 onwards IMO, but I am quite biased

These are some of my favourites:

The Inner Light

Chain of Command

Sins of the Father

The Most Toys

The Offspring

I mean there are loads of bangers in the whole series and I think it just gets better over time in general but those are some ones that come to mind.

Well said!

Ha ha! Thank you very much for noticing!

I think lemmy is too small at the moment to downvote in the same way people did on reddit. It’s still growing and we need people to post content to build the site and everyone’s engagement, downvotes for just disagreeing are going to discourage a whole new group of people who didn’t post on reddit because of getting drowned out in the noise. Look in all the question posts about how people are enjoying lemmy and you’ll see a bunch of them.

I’ve just been moving on and ignoring things I disagree with, no upvote is enough punishment in my eyes. Saying that I’ve been giving out upvotes to most things to encourage people to post and comment more. If something is clearly gross and offensive it’ll get a downvote and possibly a report, but that’s so rare in the communities I’m going to. If it’s a really off topic comment or whatever then yes it’s downvoted because it doesn’t belong.

If there’s something I really, really disagree with but don’t want to get into a conversation about it I’ll just block the user. That way I don’t have to see or deal with their opinions I disagree with anymore and can just move on with my life.

I guess that’s a really, really long winded way of agreeing with you lol. I’ve been a lot more liberal with the upvotes and have really changed my downvote behaviour too.

Thank you! Loving the speed of these updates and response to feedback 👍hope you all have a great weekend and a break!

Tell me more about your veiny melons.

I’ve been using Liftoff and think it’s got a really nice UI. Just found the OLED setting and it’s very, very black and pretty.

I was just about to come here and say the same thing. I just found this out today so it’s all shiny in my brain.

I’ve just seen in the sidebar there is already A Section 31 movie in production!

Just popping in to say I don’t think lemmy.ml ever defederated from lemmy.world, they just had issues sending info to each other during the really busy weekend due to all the new users. They’re definitely federated now, just checked their instance list at the bottom of the page.

I personally blocked the Beehaw communities I used to be in before they defederated because the only people who’d see and be able to interact with my posts and comments would be other lemmy.world users and it would be like a weird little echo chamber.

No idea if Beehaw will federate again, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see but there’s a lot out there in the mean time. And if you really want to join in Beehaw you can always make an account there.

Yeah DS9 was a bit more ‘real’ than the other seasons I think. Especially dealing with some pretty dark stuff like the war and how it was resolved, genocide was on the table like you say. Hmmm. Does make the federation look a bit different when you think about this shady stuff being allowed by the top brass because it works in their favour.

I had a similar arc with D2. I was on it straight from work for hours for a few years, was a bit too much to be honest.

Then it became even more cyclical and the grind felt like I was Sisyphus, constantly working towards the next thing.

Haven’t turned it on in years now and happy that way!

Section 31, the secretive illegitimate covert arm of Starfleet, had Sloan who really seemed like he’d done a lot in the name of the federation. He tells Bashir as much in Extreme Measures so it would be really cool to see some of the darker things the Federation disavowed or turned a blind eye to.

Very different tone to most trek probably but a whole different side of the federation, more of the unhappy side like the Maquis who don’t get explored much either.
