/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I have tried that so many times, but it never works.

I feel this with every fibre of my soul.

Alternately, would be nice to find a debug console....

Well when are the main characters going to end this?

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You can never know. Maybe simulation started just 2 minutes ago and all you memories are just fabrication? Maybe this is a long term simulation and kept running for centuries in some university? Maybe all the crew in the starship are dead and simulation is running indefinitely because everyone is dead?

Computer, end program.

So was Moriarty and it worked for him 🤷‍♂️

[–] metallic_z3r0@infosec.pub 4 points 17 hours ago

He believed it worked for him anyway, even though in the end he and his entire experience became "a little device sitting on someone's table." Maybe that's enough.

You did end, but in some remote branch of causality, someone resumed the simulation so your experience continued seamlessly.
