I’ve managed to get pretty okay with lots of filler primer.

Wonder if Chris Westlake is coming back for this one, since he did both Solar Opposites and Lower Decks.

It’s incredibly ironic this show is coming out on Amazon, though.

 

Here's a meme to commemorate.

Listen to TMBG Eyeball EP when it comes out 1/15/2026 or I'll treat you like the dishonorable petaQ you are and shove my mek'leth down your throat!

True. At my tech helpdesk, I've seen people who keep their Macs on very old versions even if their hardware supports much newer (and non-Tahoe) versions and suffer problems because of it.

For instance, the other day, a woman's Microsoft Office quit working because she was still on Ventura, which no longer gets security updates. This was on what I believe was a 2022 Macbook.

I think something is seriously wrong with Apple's update system. I mean, the Windows approach is objectively wrong, but automatic update systems need to be at least a bit aggressive.

I believe 3.0 finally moved to Python 3. Resynthesizer was also totally rewritten for 3.0, but I don’t think it’s in Python anymore (?).

Lucky for me, I upgraded both my desktop and laptop to 2TB SSDs before they decreed that the peasants can’t have SSDs or RAM anymore.

I get the complaints of lackluster writing in SNW S3, but also, you haven't seen truly bad media until you've watched either Twisters or Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, which makes Discovery season 2 seem downright straightforward and well-written by comparison.

It's not the best consolation, but it could go much worse. Also, I feel like if I had a choice, I'd take being strapped to a chair and forced to watch SNW season 3 looped 2.5 times over the same for TNG season 1.

Unless it does something egregious, I'll probably push myself through it no matter what for the sake of completionism.

Speaking of which, I need to do that for Disco's last couple seasons before I start the show.

I read it through my library, which keeps a good stock of Trek comic volumes. I think I now also have a PDF of it from a Humble Bundle.

You forgot somebody, and he’s very mad:

My biggest worry is what they do with the Klingons in the 31st century; they’re probably going to talk about how war-torn and poor Qo’Nos is or have the planet have gotten blow up or something dumb like that.

I’d love to have it so that either Qo’Nos surprisingly has had its crap together and managed to avoid brutal civil wars post-burn, with the result being in defiance of all expectations, it was one of the better planets to get stuck on after the Burn.

This guy is low-key the Gowron of the Orions. I kind of hope he shows up again in one of the two later seasons.

 

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.

Excerpts from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Fit 11 that pretty much summarize how the AI industry really works, so long as you swap a few words.

All aboard the AI Event Horizon train. 😭

I think they threw this on their BlueSky or something a few weeks back. If you’re a hard core TMBG fan, you’ve probably seen it elsewhere.

I moreso put this as a reminder this community still technically exists, but honestly, I’m much more active on TMBW Discord, and if you can stand Discord, I honestly recommend it as a very active TMBG fan community.
