Sometimes, I Miles Edward O'Brien my VM GPU passthrough.

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as card games, is in fact, GNU/card games, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus card games. 😉

I thought about "decked out", though then people would say "look at my deck", potentially creating ambiguity between card games and spiffy desktops.

Zhush/zhoosh could work - I don't think the word is commonly used enough that it would get confusing.

That's an interesting relationship with Enterprise - I've yet to really watch that series.

Star Trek's been a family thing for me as well; my mom is a fan - she watched VOY:"Endgame" during its premiere 4 days after she got married. Star Trek was always playing in the house, so me and my siblings gravitated towards it.

Lower Decks was probably 2/3rds of my coping strategy for the death of my grandmother.

You’re right. I gotta be going where my heart will take me.

I need to give those a harder listen. I do like how the Prodigy theme combines cinematic and TAS vibes. Also, I like how SNW riffs on the TOS theme.

Also, my "call" is indeed a tongue-in-cheek way to say I hope that Westlake can continue in Star Trek. Admittedly, I probably should have communicated that in a more precise, less melodramatic mode.

From what I’ve seen of Asahi Linux’s progress on emulation, Windows games are running pretty darn well on Apple Silicon - there’s still work to be done, but a lot of recent, complicated stuff is playable.

This gives a bit of hope for gaming on other ARM platforms.

I have a Blu-ray drive, though my case doesn’t have 5.25” bays, so I just have the SATA cables come put the side.

The sole reason I have it is because once a couple years back, I wanted to watch the Star Trek: TNG Spanish dub, which was only available in the US on a Bluray, which I promptly borrowed from my local library.

I have used it a couple times after, though - once to burn a CD-R with TinyCore to boot on a Pentium II laptop, and once to backup a Bluray with a dub only available on that medium.

Oh no! You can’t break the laws of physics; O’Brien MUST suffer! Take it away before the universe suffers a subspace quasar tachyon inversion burst collapse to the hull or something. 😉

TNG: "Shades of Gray", the really low-budget, terrible finale of season 2 where Riker has a virus that ~~makes him relive memories~~ turns the show into a clipshow.

But are you tough enough to watch the clip show?
