FoD

I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.

Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.

If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it's the topic, or my mood, or life.

Enjoy tng again!

I'm sure it'll be fun and I'm always glad to have more trek.

Two things concern me, first every person we've met previously from section 31 has been an asshole. Intentional writing to make them them an organization working against the ideals of the federation. Will that make it harder for me to like the characters or their missions? I am unsure if I want to relate better to them.

The second is that universe ending stuff has little emotional impact on me, it's unimaginable to me especially with the CGI required to visualize it. Episodes always hits me harder when it's a planet, a species, a special person or some mystery to be discovered.

The year is 2034 and 96% of the population is unemployed because they are all forced to "do their own research" on literally everything and there's no time to work. We all must research every niche topic to fully understand it before using it or the other 4% calls us stupid and lazy.

No longer are we allowed to just buy a shower head, or bike or sign up for email without sources cited and proof we know everything about said thing.

Have kids? Do their research too, no chocolate milk unless I've proven why it's good.

Elderly parents? Don't let them touch that Roku remote. I need a research paper on all the options I explored.

Sorry for all the sarcasm. I fix my house, I work, I mow the lawn and shuttle children to sports, and my friend says check this bluesky thing out, 30 seconds and I'm signed up and have a friend and a discover tab and a search that works. Life's chaotic and I don't want to be defined as stupid because I can't spend hours figuring something out in place of something I think is more important.

All this not directed at you specifically but I guess it hit a nerve.

You've stated this at least twice in this thread. People aren't like that, just in general. Heck, I understood it and still had trouble picking a server for Lemmy and mastadon.

Do I want a single topic or domain to define me? Will a small server have popular posts? Will it have popular people? I can't find this popular account because I'm typing in username instead of user+domain.

I created and deleted at least 5 before I gave up and just picked one. Is that what most people would do?

I don't think you're wrong, but I think you are not putting yourself in the shoes of most users who want to follow a celebrity or a train station or space agency and can't even find their account.

I'm not a fan of campy, I love the gritty haunted bond we had with Craig.

Austin powers is fun but it's not interesting (to me).

I grew up starting with GoldenEye which was a strange movie, a little corniness but serious stuff too. I enjoyed the transition to a more serious bond from Brosnans.

I know all the reasons I should be on Firefox, but I just love Vivaldi so much.

I've been using it for years and have it tuned perfectly for anything I do. It's feature rich, and fast.

Occasionally there are apps or even tools in life where you are like holy shit, this is exactly made for how I want to do a task/job.

My gestures are so ingrained in me, sometimes I catch my hand moving the mouse to perform an action in another unrelated app. My brain notices instantly but can't stop my hand from trying to do it anyway. It makes me laugh.

No one wants to be on the losing side. Not that this election is a sure thing, but people shift with the wind and then tell themselves they "called" it.

I've been watching DustUps ranch on YouTube. Some guy bought wasteland in Texas and is doing this and other stuff to create a forest.

Definitely not an instructional channel because there is a lot that goes wrong so far but he learns as he goes and seems to have a good plan now.

Depending on how serious you want to take it. There is a website for stardew predictions, stardew checkup to help you know what's missing, and a tool for planting to know when to harvest.

Lots of tools to plan.

I also keep a notepad open but I make notes. Important birthdays, which rarecrows I have, crop numbers and things needed, fish in looking for in particular seasons and weather.

I set my goals and work towards them.

Ha! That works, you just don't get as much money from them because it's late In the season.

I love playing stardew.

I have 800 hours in the game, played through many times with perfection.

Save at least 2 of everything. Save 5 of gold star veggies and fruits along with some unstarred.

Make field snacks and pop them like Skittles. Plan your day a bit, time is ticking.

Fishing skill first IMO, blast that as much as you can and sell as much as you can.

There is so much to do, as you find things and progress there will be more and more things.

Buy strawberries in year 1 at the egg festival. As many as you can. Year two, plant them as beginning of spring. Profit.

Also have fun, don't let the days or time stress you out.

This, you will need them for gifts and quests and the money you don't make by selling it will be earned doubly by having one ready to go when it's called upon.

Chests are cheap, get a system. I use veggies, fruit, flowers, forage, seeds, tools, metals, gems as probably my first set as I get going.

Money is not the problem in this game, time is what gets you.
