Neddy Seagoon posted:More from an era where computers were still just doing one thing at a time rather than multi-tasking tabs. The most basic computer at the time was just single-thread command-line execution, and that probably translated to to "this basic contemporary device can do/hold one thing at a time". Or at least a digital equivalent of a piece of paper. You're talking microcomputer right? Multitasking and job control dates back to before MULTICS (the 60s). Even then, the X Windowing System (multitask GUI) got colour support in Version 9, released in 1985, one or two years before TNG.

Hipster_Doofus posted:That made me realize something. Regarding the replicated vs. "real" food debate, and how your favorite dinner is going to be exactly the same every time, if I had a replicator I would create all the raw ingredients and then cook the poo poo myself. And say like, I'm halfway through and realize, "ooh, a little basil would work well in this." Well, "two ounces fresh basil, holy. No belay that, make it Thai. And one ounce fresh lemon basil too." You'd think so, but the Federation has a death sentence for anyone that doesn't stand to attention at the replicator. EDIT: Also didn't they say at some point that replicated food tastes bland or something. Maybe in voyager? I don't know why people who have access to over 1000 years of intergalactic cooking would choose to eat whatever crap Neelix made... alexandriao fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Aug 11, 2019 |

SavageGentleman posted:I think Star Trek's technology level has a hard limit of automation built in that starts to look really old-fashioned today. smart AI, serious automation following holodeck or transporter limits to its logical endpoints - all of this would strain the ethos of Star Trek, which is mostly based in humanlike creatures doing meaningful stuff that technology never could (tm). I mean, the holodeck was just scripts except for the Moriarty thing lol. I think actually star trek's automation makes more sense with our recent knowledge of how Bad and poo poo machine learning is

Ghost Leviathan posted:Random note, it looks like Picard's likely to be embarassed by a Captain Picard Day from grown-up Enterprise kids, I do wonder which Star Trek characters are best with kids. Picard is obviously awkward around them, the Sisko is a great dad, Worf is a terrible dad, Quark strikes me as a bit of a cool uncle type you could probably trust them with for the weekend, though you wouldn't trust him with their pocket money. Lwaxana is everybody's cool aunt. Kira strikes me as someone who's decent around kids if not entirely the maternal type, and will absolutely murder anyone who threatens them. Riker is a cool uncle but you wouldn't really trust him with your newly-18 daughter

Might be wrong, I don't remember the tech manual's list v well), that gun could probably blast a fair-sized hole in the hull (esp since I don't think there's shielding from the inside??

Facebook Aunt posted:I prefer to think Crusher just gets real dumb when she's horny. As seen with the ghost candle. No but how many races do they have in the Federation? 30-something? You can appreciate her getting confused if this is another one of the 50 different space parasites they keep encountering every time they swing by the neutral zone, or the space aids Picard gets every time Q is around, or another egg hatching from that time Geordi tried to gently caress a tree out of frustration, or something else. I mean they've literally had transporter parasites, ship eating nanobots, and memetic parasites that only Data can kill in his sleep. And that's basically par for the loving course normal day for them. Not to mention that today so much information is produced that modern GPs are poo poo at staying up to date or even learning stuff from 20 years ago, that's gonna be exponentially multiplied when you factor in all the races and differences. Take something like transgender care as an example and literally no GP is up to date on that even though WPATH has had good recommendations in place since the 90s. The best anyone can hope for is that their GP didn't sleep through the blitheringly misinformational 5 minutes of the 1 hour lecture on LGBT people that consists of the entire education for the 5 year degree. Trills were probably a 1 hour lecture somewhere that she was too busy partying hard or dealing with a hangover to notice, or she skipped it to memorize some foot bones or something idk. Of course Bashir knew, but he has a Trill on board the ship as part of the Also, Crusher did have a chronic case of "nuhbudy tuhld me nuthin" syndrome, from what I remember she was basically the last to hear about anything. alexandriao fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Aug 26, 2019 |

Half way through watching S5E6 of TNG. Basic summary: The crew of the Enterprise come into contact with futuristic cookie clicker games, it comes out like that episode of SMBC Theatre. There's a scene where Riker says to Geordi "I've brought something back from Risa" and Geordi's visibly thinking "Ugh, not another STD" EDIT: I wish we had seen more of Robin afterwards and less of Wesley. EDIT2: If the entire show was just different people having tea with Picard I'd still watch it :3 EDIT3: Holy poo poo poor Data, he's basically got lockin sundrome for the entire loving episode god. "His brain is working but the impulses are not getting to his body" EDIT4: After Wesley tells Picard I half expected him to go "Mental note: The boy knows" in a homerish voice EDIT5: Ah, so Data's solution is epilepsy alexandriao fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Aug 31, 2019 |

Watching all the Voyager time travel episodes. Finishing Timeless and Janeway says to Kim:quote:All that matters is that somehow, somewhere, sometime... you'll come through for us as if he hasn't been doing that all this time already? Sick burn. "Someday you'll come through for us, but you haven't shown any promise of that yet, now go mop the floor on deck 12." Also doesn't he spend like the entire show as an Ensign? He's a great example of "If you want to move up, move out".

Neddy Seagoon posted:Under better writing with continuity you could make a plot point of that late-series; Give him some regular promotions to Lt-Commander throughout the show's run to feel proud about, and slowly realizing it's pointless because he's still at the same console and there's no way to get promoted further unless Chakotay or Janeway die. And there's still 30-50-odd years of travel till home. Higher rank means more holodeck time. Maybe they're all just scared he'll go Full Barclay on them

We love you too. Honestly I expected SA to be like Moss Eisley / 4chan but it's ended up pretty cosy and more like Ten Forward. There are way more leftists than I anticipated and a lot more trans/nb people too. Neddy Seagoon posted:"Activate... the Emergency Command Hologram Still the best episode because of that. I want a series of Star Trek where Q and Data and the EMH have to share a bunk together and learn about humanity. Maybe occasionally Worf too but he's a real groucho. I can't remember if I read about someone else wanting something similar here or on a youtube comment. Unrelated: Does anyone still play Star Trek Elite Force? Last I checked some of the servers were still up.
