I’m under the impression that it is relatively new tech. Or at least shipboard versions.

As of Lower Decks it's been in shipboard use for over fifteen years, assuming the Enterprise-D was the first ship to have it. So it might be relatively new, but given how many crew it's eaten, you'd think everyone would know!

The high-quality fully-immersive holodeck was new in TNG, although it's been implied there were kinda crappier versions before, and it seems like the ability to have turing-passing seemly-intelligent humanoid characters didn't exist before the upgrades in 11001001. It's advanced ridiculously fast and there's a lot of generations of the technology, though, so different installations probably have different requirements. Voyager's fancy new ones without the yellow squares probably handles it all automatically or something.

What was the name of the black-haired female ensign who was getting a back massage (while secretly working)? I could have sworn Freeman called her "Mariner", but it must have been something similar-sounding.

Powered Descent posted:If we're being generous, we could say the unseen Feds outside had an enormous machine gun, let's say an M2 Browning, and so what we see are .50 BMG bullets in flight, just drawn with a slightly inaccurate shape. (At least they'd be about the right size.) who the gently caress has ever seen a bullet in real life other than americans? To me that's what bullets look like. And it fits the holodeck would do it like that, since it's likely how it'd look in a film too

The Holodeck programmers just got lazy and used the same model for bullets in flight as bullets you'd pick up and hold. Nobody's going to notice. This is a super common Hollywood and video game goof as well. They'll use inert shells with obviously dimpled primers from being used in real guns all the time. Future space guns eject shells that clearly say NATO 5.56 on the back. It's a goof. Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Sep 17, 2022 |

Yeah but it's funnier to say it's because the holodeck programmers didn't know bullets got ejected from their casing.

Not only implied, one episode of TAS takes place in the holodeck aboard the original Kirk's Enterprise. And we are also shown in ENT that those weird daterape aliens had that technology aced already by then.

Take the Doctor getting back and meeting the EMH Mark 2, and he didn't recognize the medical tools that where there. With new planets being discovered, new tech and knowledge must ripple throughout the galaxy constantly. Then again Lower Decks is a parody of actual ST.

happyhippy posted:.  I know that LD is fully canon within the franchise (and has done its damndest to pull TAS back in as a result), but one way I thought of to look at it is that it's an in-universe comedy, a popular holoseries of the late 24th century.

I know it's a standard comedic trope, but I love how the director on the Dove immediately went for "recently possessed by ancient alien artifacts" as a diagnosis for Freeman. Because in-universe it's that common of a thing that happens to starship captains. So much of the comedy in LDS comes from just treating all the weird situations you see in the other series as routine occurrences.

I respect the fact that LDS takes Trek literally enough to insist that TOS and TAS is as canon as everything else.

Aces High posted:it was probably just an animation oversight but we're all big nerds in here so I'm gonna have fun with this: Designing a holodeck program would require a massive amount of time if you had to program in every single detail. Most things are taken care of by an AI similar to the ones we now use to generate art on the internet. That AI takes care of details. It knows about what a plant should look like and has a good concept of "chair" and the user can give the program a once over and make administrative changes on the fly when they notice an error. However, most images of 'bullet' that the computer finds are probably unfired bullets still in the shell. So, since it's not actually firing bullets from guns using gunpowder or anything, the guns are essentiall just hollow/solid inside. There's no firing mechanism or anything and it just simulates a bullet at the muzzle with speed X travelling in direction Y, the same way you actually fire bullets out of your eyes in video games or your gun hand is superimposed on the screen so it doesn't constantly clip through walls.

There's a bunch of people currently using AI image generators to make 'celebratory' versions of Hulks because of the She-Hulk TV series and quite often the results are turning out to be somewhat  , I'm guessing because AI can't differentiate between official She-Hulk art and the huge amount of fanart of She-Hulk that already exists on DeviantArt and the Rule 34 site
