I could see something with some sort of 25th century plot with O'Brien and Bashir being enjoyable. The O'Briens would be empty-nesters by then, with Miles in a late life crisis right when a shady-as-heck Bashir draws him into some vague top secret mission.
Still, if anyone wants to see some more O'Brien suffering, there's always the IDW stuff. Honestly, probably half of why I kept reading was the morally gray man Harry Kim grew up to be. 😁
Now what sounds like a Gul Dukat-level deranged fanfic is O'Brien on the train.
"You've suffered so much, so we're going to put you in an environment where you suffer even more."
Of course, I also actually need Trek-loving friends to play it with anyhow. A family member once met a friend who was in the same situation but with a bunch of expansions. Unfortunately, she had moved away before a campaign could get started. Maybe I’ll try video conferencing…
I’m just the tiniest bit mad because someone gifted me the 1st edition last Christmas right before the new one. My main hope is the 2nd edition explains the rules better. I did notice better explanations in the quick start guide Modiphius has on their website and hope for the same in the book.
I’ve heard of people coercing even my graphics card, an RX 580. However, I avoid generative AI for ethical reasons and also because Microsoft is trying to shove it down my throat. I really hope that copyright law prevails and that companies will have to be much more careful with what they include in their datasets.
On a random note, I once talked about Firefox with a friend, and he texted me a few weeks later about trying it. More successful than my Linux spreading, although part of it was he used a Surface and having gone through the pain on my Surface Go myself, I wasn’t sure I could impart that suffering to someone else.
Solution 1: Use Synaptic while in the cafe.
Solution 2: If I’m going to get called a hacker (or cracker, if you’re some dude from the FSF), might as well earn it.
I’m trying to remember, but I feel like either the regular Debian installer or expert installer recently offered to choose between Windows-style tome and Unix-style time. Also, though, there is a registry hack for Windows to make it use UTC.
Luckily, I don’t depend on Adobe stuff, but knowing some professional photographers, you sort of can’t live without Photoshop. I feel like GIMP has severely stagnated - many of the features are there, but buried, while non-destructive editing integral to a modern workflow seems eons away. (I find this weird, especially considering how good and mostly intuitive a project like Inkscape is - I find a lot of things easier than Illustrator.) I kind of want to learn GPU shaders and GPU compute (I’m mostly a Python guy with up to Calculus II experience, some bezier curve know-how, and more math on the way, for reference, for reference) so I could create a fast open graphics editor as backlash for Adobe’s AI buffoonery, though my project management skills aren’t great at the moment.
Truth be told, being gen Z myself, I think it’s less about what Windows version they used and more about the fact that most primarily use mobile phones these days. Funny enough, the two other gen Z Linux users I’ve met were Arch users, while I’m a Debian guy.
On streaming, a partial (but admittedly not full) replacement is a sufficiently well-stocked local library. Just get the Bluray libraries (libaacs, libbdplus, etc) set up, throw in a keydb.cfg, and you’ve at least got some stuff. For me, there’s a local that keeps a good collection of Trek stuff (all the way to Lower Decks season 4 and Prodigy Season 1 from 2023), which is almost all I care about.
I need this. It is first edition, but I still think a rather lucrative opportunity.
