Based on my experiences meeting other Trekkies at Phoenix Fan Fusion and Tuscon Comic Con.

Like, once you get past this part, most of the original Trekkies are fun to talk to, but combined with that subset of gen X TNG guys who talk about their college years and give you unsolicited life advice while probably a bit inebriated, you probably lose an hour at whatever convention to hearing this same flex over and over again.

Also, yes, at Fan Fusion I found out Gen Alpha Trekkies do exist; saw one wearing a DS9 uniform commenting at a panel.

I'm taking a bit of a break from Lemmy, so I'm probably not going to be around much for moderation.

Luckily, there's usually not much to moderate, but I don't want there to be no one in case something does happen, like someone starts spamming TMBG-related AI slop. As of right now, though, there's never been a need to remove a comment or post, let alone ban someone, so this should be pretty low stakes.

At the very least, I want someone to keep an eye on the place; even better if they make a post every month or so, just to keep it a little less dead.

Until then, I'll try to keep moderating, probably just checking for stuff with my .world alt account once or twice a week.

Hey. I just wanted to say I've been and will continue to be taking a break from this instance and Lemmy for a while.

While I've had some fun in my almost two years here, lately, I've had a bit of an addictive, unhealthy relationship with it and want to reclaim my time, and I was really getting too emotional over things that don't matter, to the point it negatively affected my wellbeing. Thus, I've changed my password to a random one and saved it in a GPG-encrypted file for when I'm ready to come back.

Thanks to all the people that have made my time on here a good one, especially server admins and many of the frequent posters. I could be back in a few weeks, in a few months, or as Benjamin Sisko said, yesterday.

Here's a meme to commemorate.

Paramount+ doesn't have the "Spanish (Latin American" dub beyond season 2, and I've long been wondering if it even exists for later seasons. It would be a travesty if it didn't, as most voices were at least tolerable, and Boimler straight up sounded like Jack Quaid speaking Spanish.

I've heard that there are two Spanish dubs out there for it: the Latin American one on P+ that's pretty good, and a horrible Castillian dialect one. It would be a shame if the Blu-Ray used the latter, or even worse, the product claims to have a Spanish dub but only has it for two seasons.

Anyone who's already bought it, I would be immensely thankful if you could check that:

• Spanish dub even exists beyond season 2.
• Maybe post something like an audio clip with a scene including Boimler from each season so I can see if it's the same dub.

Thank you for your time. Have a good one.

I made this about 3.5 years ago and forgot about it, never uploading it anywhere. Sorry for your pain.

After months of my e-mailing with a known owner of the tape, we finally have access to a rip of the It’s Fun To Steal LP Sampler, including its Backstabbing Liar Demo. Here’s the raw rip here: https://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/monopuff/

Unfortunately, the rip the guy made is kind of crappy, taken with a 2000s-era tape backup machine with horrible compression and too fast tape playback.

Luckily, good ol’ Peter Gritsch has done a remaster to make the tape’s most important demo more listenable, at least until I can convince the tape owner to do a better-quality rip.

Also, hi. It’s been a while. I usually neglect this community, as I’m more active on TMBW Discord, but I like to post something every once in a while in case a BG fan stumbles onto Lemmy.
