metaverse 3 will use ai 2 which is on the blockchain

clone wars and farscape teach us that oceanic (oceaniac?) accents come from space so it’s probably a character option in one of the spelljammer books

gus is the chief medical officer partially so he can cover up that shawn isn’t from betazed

“Andorian women are far more aggressive than Earth females. She made a… an overture. I had a choice - charge her with assaulting a superior or… marry her for 32 years and counting.”

oooo baby i love your wayouns, every dayoun…

the ultimate lifeform does not do “simple”

if it’s just a phase, we can simply modulate the frequency of the subharmonic phase generator. and reverse the polarity of the deflector dish if that doesn’t work

i’m really interested to see where this goes. i feel like a lot of the dorks (i say affectionately as a dork) who use the fediverse and people who do this kinda shortform video are two circles that don’t touch, so this could very well die on the vine- no pun intended- or it could give the fedi the jolt it needs to enter the mainstream

i totally get that, although being able to resub to all the same categories beats starting from scratch entirely somewhere else. my experience at fedia.io has been great so far

i’m not sure, i’m sorry. i just use the web interface as a PWA

kbin has a few extra bells and whistles, like it can also do mastodon-style “microblogging” and custom themes per user. it’s since ceased developement but mbin is a fork continuing it. other than that, the experience is the same

hell i went one step further and abandoned lemmy entirely for mbin

Neither are perfect because Christian Athiests includes people who are “culturally Christian” as that can include clergy as an authority and rituals, and Jesuism would include splinter religious groups and is very easily confused with the Catholic Jesuit order. hopefully it’s a starting point though!

you’re getting downvoted but you’re not wrong. N64 emulation has been as good as it’ll get for a long while (remember, we were playing N64 games flawlessly on the Wii, which itself is now retro to many!), and compared to older consoles with quirky bespoke hardware, the benefits of hardware emulation like FPGAs over software emulation are diminished for the N64 to begin with. if you do want to go the FPGA route, Taki Udon’s MiSTeR Pi is cheaper than this and can load any number of cores instead of just the N64. ultimately you’re paying a premium for an experience that’s either as good as or worse than a plethora of cheaper options

oh hell yeah

Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong!

this might not be too far off, i know flarum is planning to include activitypub in their 2.0 release and nodebb already has it working in test

these were standard issue before synthehol was regularly available on starships. can’t have too many people asking about the abnormal kidney failure rate in starfleet or they’ll start poking around and find our Saurian brandy stash

i think pops up in early computer rpgs like ultima a lot because the original Dungeons and Dragons was full of that kind of anachronistic stuff. TSR probably didn’t intentionally make it post-apocalypse though. they were just cramming whatever they thought was cool at the moment into their game, which is why you’re just as likely to find a downed spaceship as a dinosaur in Blackmoore. the post-apocalypse angle probably game to be when early crpgs wanted to ape that but wanted give it a proper story justification

i’ve also heard people say that the silmarillion has scifi elements, but i’m not sure how much of that is what tolkien intended versus what people read into it. i’ve also heard that the trope originates from medieval people coming across ruins of ancient roman architecture, but no examples were given- although it’s funny to think we have robots in The Legend of Zelda because aquaducts

more like faith of the FART amirite crewmen
