This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!
It’s so deep, expansive and immersive and I’m not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.

Our RO-filtered water also flash boils. And flash freezes!
Distilled water is okay now that diets are more complete with vitamins. Especially if you’re eating your veggies. But that would be expensive and unnecessary 😄
I use RO-filtered water and for fun we safely discovered it does flash boil in the microwave.
I use it in a proper glass tea kettle though. It stay clean for months now, it used to get messy in a few days using tap water. I also think tea steeps tea better in low TDS water. From an osmotic point of view, that makes sense.
Normally our tap water is nearly liquid tums 😅
I’m surprised nobody is talking about accidentally flash-boiling in the microwave. Is that because they microwave the tea bag in the water in the cup? Because if you have clean water without the teabag, you could get a cup of exploding water in your face after you disturb the cup.
Maybe there is enough lead in the water to prevent this in America.
Star trek Voyager: Elite force!
It was so good for its time. I loved it so much as a kid. I especially loved the portable pattern buffer being a great in-universe solution to explain how a game character can carry many different weapons. It fits so well into the universe that I half expected to see such a thing on the shows someday. It would have been too disruptive to plot development for the characters always to have what they need with them, though.
Thanks for the giveaway, amazing to see you in the fediverse!
Yeah we need humanoid lizard people with chameleon eyes and tiny inconvenient T-Rex arms.
So nutrek is an umbrella term for Discovery, Lower decks, SNW and Prodigy right? It’s it common for people to hate all 4 with a passion? They’re all sooooo different. I can get hating one, because they are all basically different genres.
I think people are afraid if they support one that they hate, then we’ll get more of the same. So have a knee jerk reaction to be toxic when their hated show is discussed. The irony being that historically star trek is a show that seeks to show an example of interpersonal harmony. These people do want an outlet to discuss their grievances about the shows but mostly see that outlet when someone mentions the show because they love it.
If someone hates all 4, they must be pretty deep into some extreme ideology that somehow doesn’t conform with all of Star Trek.
Maybe startrek.website needs a neutral zone that only allows constructive criticism but still provides an outlet for these feelings. 😅
Edit- I forgot Picard existed, whoops!
Expanse did it well too. There is a character that uses different pronouns, and people just used the right pronouns for them. Thats it. Boom representation achieved.
Now I get that trills were used to stealthily start trying to get trans and gender queer screentime in a very hostile 90s era.
In discovery, Adiras coming out had to once again be aided with the framing of the trill.
Adira had to loudly declare their preferred pronouns in the deep future when all of this was supposed to be no big deal.
It would have been so intelligent if they were just called by their pronouns and were just treated like any other character.
I understood the writers managed to get a coming out story that a lot of people can relate to. But in the future people should just be, and not need to come out.
Why should these things be free? The other things we get for free on the web are either supported by donations or they harvest something from you that’s valuable and sell it, that’s not free either.
I’m into the idea of paying for higher quality services and have enjoyed my kagi trial. Might see if I can find someone to split an account with.
The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.
Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.
I say this one is canon and it’s proof that Trip didn’t die in enterprise. The hologram just got super inaccurate and twisted as it got passed around with lossy compression in a game of telephone like an old meme.
I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn’t want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.
