Yes exactly and I always consider Steam (and to a lesser degree the Kindle ecosystem), which make it obvious to me that interoperability and convenience are something consumers are willing to pay for.

Why doesn’t Odo just put up a sign that says “nobody I don’t like allowed”

Plot twist: I will use the holodeck to simulate being a starfleet captain

“Space vampires” is such a turn-off of an idea for me that I’m glad I didn’t know about it going in but WOW was it a great concept!

My secret shame is that I lowkey love the Rama sequels, though I fully acknowledge that they are political soap operas in space and tonally absolutely nothing like the original.

This was my exact journey, though I eventually landed on immutable Fedora with KDE. Zorin is a great OS but it’s in a weird space because it’s probably already too simple for anyone who knows what Linux is.

Because nobody has suggested it yet, Blindsight and Echopraxia are excellent.

I really liked The Gripping Hand though I agree it’s difficult to reach the level of excellence that is The Mote in God’s Eye.

That’s an awesome story and I agree he was great in that role.

Oh fun I will have to check it out

everybody needs to be on their best behavior for the next few weeks ok

He should have won best actor for his performance as “Ian” in Jungle 2 Jungle.

The fact that it lost to American Beauty that year is a travesty

Colm Meaney’s performance in Layer Cake is simply astounding!

I would put Duck Tails 2, but still- why are they so dang replayable??

Yeah, they also mentioned that it was difficult to capture it in photos:

The facial sculpt by Dean Tolliver features an enigmatic smile typical of the character, and like a lot of EXO’s sculpts, this one is hard to capture just in photographs.

Really? It’s not going to be educational?

Awesome!

Steamroller is a great name. I built a similar SFFPC with Bazzite a few years ago but if I was in the market I would probably choose this over the Steam Machine (as cool as it is).

The fact that you are clearly capable of posting content about everything except trans kids in Gaza is telling on yourself. /s
