I thought legacy was supposed to be new stories post dominion with Captain Seven. I want that.

What I don’t want is the TNG cast showing back up every week. They finally had a perfect send off, and a passing of the torch. For me their chapter is closed.

Wait… are the 2022s mostly in the clear?

Serious question - and this is coming from someone who’s used a handful from Bulma to Bootstrap to Foundation… all the way back to 960.gs - with today’s robust state of CSS, what is the advantage to a traditional framework in 2026? What’s the use case?

I thought she was terrible out of context in the trailers.

In the show, we’re only two episodes in and she’s absolutely top tier Captain material.

Honestly this is smart for Ford. The weak spot of an EV pickup in the American market is towing, and a gasoline range extender solves this issue while keeping most of the benefits.

Now, if they can market it effectively is another question.

Such a shame. I like Ford in general, but I’m happy with a Hyundai or Kia as well. Would consider GM if they would allow me to bring my own tech to the table (CarPlay / Android Auto).

Fair. It’s nothing special, just a quick lazy print with some acrylic markers for the nacelles. I wanted to see how it would turn out, wasn’t going for display quality, but for a toy around the house I’m happy with how it turned out. Lego figure for scale. It’s a little smaller than the Ent D - maybe $3 of material?

I’m still learning, but I don’t see it being more than 500g if you were to print it yourself. Keep in mind a 3D print is going to have about a 15% infill, where the Legos are solid plastic, so the Lego version will use more raw materials and be heavier by nature.

1kg of good quality PLA or PETG can be had on Amazon for about $13 on sale, definitely under $20. So, you’re using maybe $6-$10 USD of raw plastic?

Keep in mind you either need to sand and paint it, or use multiple colors to get something “good” looking, but for my Akira class I just printed it grey and used some acrylic paint markers to do some quick details. I’m lazy, so mine looks like crap up close, but from a distance it looks alright on my shelf, and it’s cheap enough that my 5 year old can grab it and play spaceship with no stress on my end.

(Edit: I looked at a few models that are roughly the same size as the Lego one. I’m seeing material estimates ranging from 550g to 1kg, so I wasn’t too far off)

I love Lego. I played with them often as a kid, and I love sharing the Lego games with my son, had season passes to legoland, and appreciate the humor they add into everything now of days. The accessories for the TNG crew are a perfect showcase of this.

With that said, yeah, the Lego Ent D is slightly less expensive than my multi-color 3D printer, and I’m more than happy with the Akira Class I printed a month ago. Maybe I’ll print the Enterprise D in the next few days to celebrate.

I would argue grid, :has(), var(), and native nesting have been just as important steps forward.

And here I am still very happy with my $350 steam deck purchase and 2tb ssd upgrade. 🤷‍♂️

Okay, but can I promote Harry Kim?

Everyone, go update your 2003 forum avatars.

My friend, most people weren’t using PNG in 2003, especially for forum avatars. They were glitchy on browsers (IE) for almost a decade after that.

Yes, if they’re quality games.

I’m going to wait for reviews though on the games themselves, but pick up the console at release, and probably Mario Kart and Metroid.

I know the console is going to last me half a decade at least, and I have a kiddo who’s going to age into those first party games very quickly. Mario, DK, Kirby, Zelda.

For the switch 1, I have about 15-20 Switch exclusive games, which I’ve spent hundreds of hours on. To me, most of those gaming experiences are worth a $80/90 price point in today’s dollars given inflation, and by buying physical I can quickly sell the ones I don’t like (looking at you hyrule warriors).

It seems like heavy price tag at first glance, but in reality I think it’s quite reasonable over the lifetime of the console.

Honestly, I’ll still get a Switch 2 for the first party games, but there’s no way in hell I’ll buy a third party game for it if I can add the game to my Steam library. Steam Deck + living room “console” PC is pretty perfect if you know what you’re doing.

I love Frakes. He’s just so passionate about what he’s working on and honestly it’s so rare to see people in his role geek out so much - not only does he “get it”, but he loves it - and as a fan I’m here for it.

So in theory one could be banned for making a negative review video?

Vanguard was enough for me to nope out, but this just seems like more anti consumer bullshit to me.

The building I worked at in the Chicago loop had showers for bike commuters. Might be a big city thing.

I don’t think that a forced esports league was going to prosper anyway. Things like EVO,l and pre-accusation MLG where the focus is independent of the game are where esports can flourish. It’s important to note that games change and interests shift, these “leagues” don’t have the staying power like traditional sports leagues.

With that said, Microsoft now owns the MLG name and assets, and could build that back up if they had interest.

Strange New Worlds (SNW) is the single best entry point for someone new to the franchise, and that’s a black mountain I’m willing to die on. It blends modern storytelling with the classic Trek formula, and since it’s basically a pickup of the original Pilot, it’s pretty darn close do the beginning of the timeline.

Strange New Worlds offers an accessible entry point that holds the same core as The Next Generation (TNG) or the original series (TOS). There’s only two seasons so far, but if you like it and are craving more, I recommend watching TNG afterwards, and continuing that line in order of series air date (DS9, VOY, ENT).

It’s easy for many of us to recommend our favorite series, or our own entry points, but the reality is most of Trek is dated and not a good place to start for someone used to modern television.
