I've never heard of this show, but from what you've said and the quick research I've done it sounds like something I would be interested in. Thanks for the mention of it!

It definitely could be, I run into weird issues like that sometimes! I had pulled up this post through a few other instances to make sure my links would work, and one of them didn't have the two posts I made in the community in the last few days.

I'm the moderator!

Yes, and there's a community over at lemmy.world as well! It's definitely good to have redundancy though. Defederation could also be an issue depending on the instance.

I'm trying to get the Star Trek community on Lemmy.zip back up and running. Stop by if you're looking for a place to chat about Star Trek!

I haven't played it since this release, but I would maybe ask in the Star Citizen LUG Matrix or Discord if you haven't already. They've helped with some questions I've had.

Congratulations on the marriage! It was quite a change for me, but a good one for sure.

I'm going to have to spend some more time playing it again! It worked fine on my desktop install previously, so I'm curious to know what they changed to bump it to verified. I'm guessing UI tweaks or something with the launcher.

You can (at least the last time I ran an install) get both 10 and 11 installed without a Microsoft account, 11 just requires this process to do it. If you have an old ISO of 11 around it should allow a local account if you don't connect to the internet, but they apparently patched that out now.

True, that would be better. I was just going to watch them two nights in a row, but I might do that instead!

Is anyone here planning to watch the episodes over the time they're supposed to occur? I'm thinking of watching part 1 tomorrow due to it being the date on the calendar onscreen, and part 2 the next day.

Okay, thanks for the information! I appreciate the offer, I'll have to keep that in mind if I decide to get it. I think the logistics end of the game could be a lot of fun.

I generally just don't play a lot of online games anymore. I have a job where I have to deal with people all day, so the last thing I want to do is go home and deal with angry people while I'm trying to relax!

I do play some Elder Scrolls Online and Star Trek Online, but I primarily do single player content. The normal extent of my interaction with human players is to help them if they need help, or to thank them if they help me.

 

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

F/5.6 75.0mm 1/320s ISO-200

Here's a photo I took recently, and I'm just curious if anyone has any feedback on what they like about it or what they think would improve it. No editing other than some compression to lower the file size below my instance limit.

If I were to go back to it again I would probably try to use the stem of the flower to split the background between the bush and sky. Other than that I'm not sure, I'm still trying to learn!

I've started rediscovering photography again after a multi year break, and I've currently got a decision to make. I've started doing some more macro photography recently, and I'm to the point I would like to purchase a macro lens. However, I now realize that new DSLR cameras seem to be on their way out and mirrorless is what the major manufacturers are moving to. My current gear is a budget Canon DSLR with a kit lens, and a basic 75-300mm.

My question is this. Should I switch to a mirrorless camera before I spend more money on lenses? I don't have a huge amount of money invested so far, and whatever lens type I buy is most likely what I'm going to have to stay with for many years to come. My hard limit would be $1000 for the body, but preferably $700 or less. Since I would like to stay with Canon, that leaves me with the R100, R50, and RP at the very top end. I am open to other options however, especially if there are good aftermarket lenses and accessories.

Although I know there will still be new and used EF lenses available, I do worry a bit about future camera body upgrade options. I know I'm overthinking this a bit too much, but I'm just curious what other people think.

I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.
