/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

This took about a week to make. I hope you enjoy it! Also, this is a webm - if you can't see this, consider a different app/client. This would have been a 2gb gif. Special thanks to @ummthatguy@lemmy.world and @negativenull@lemm.ee for the encouraging comments in the past!

Thanks for that! But the wrongness is part of the joke :) I'm downloading that though!!

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

This was only adding to your own joke! I used the DS9 Title font for this one.

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm tired and waiting for the small dopamine hits :p I should have caught that!

We're going on a journey among the stars:

I hate to comment on my own stuff, but holy shit is it ever a relief to get this done. A week of work for a mid joke.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Worth it. And I see my name up there, woo!

It’s probably where you are hosting this image on, but it’s not loading for me. You need to share it from another location to get more people to see it.

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

It's at catbox.moe - are you outside the US? Edit: Does this work? I guess not. It's too long for imgur. Too big for most hosts. I'll try sigh YouTube

[–] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nope. I am in the US. I have tried using multiple browsers (on iPhone) all with the same result.

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Ok, I've tried a few hosts now. I'm just going to have to upload to YouTube and I hate that. It's too long for imgur, catbox apparently doesn't work on iPhone, and people complain about region too. I know that iPhon innately supports web so I don't get what's happening there!

Here's a link you might be able to use in the meantime.

As a further edit; I've asked the question about video playback for the Lemmy dev Q&A scheduled for today. I don't think most people realize how much of an issue it is.

[–] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thank you, that played perfectly (awesome work on this). It would be great if the devs fixed this issue.

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago

I'm just glad you could see it! And thanks for the compliment!

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago

Alright, here it is on YouTube and I'll update the main post:

I'm in Canada with fast internet and it won't load at all for me.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

@jawa21@startrek.website beautifully executed ... now I have to check my USB connections ... my only problem with you is that eventually I will have to budget more time to watch your videos which will inevitably become a television series
