I thought there would at least be an option for statisitical analysis!

Similarly there is no option to pick 'no sport'. Had to pick the one I found least annoying - Table Tennis

Someone on reddit asked what the characters from TNG and DS9 would wear to a halloween party and I really enjoyed answering so I'm going to share my opinions here.

Data, Geordie, & Barclay show up in a group costume inspired by The Wizard of Oz - Data is the Lion; Barclay the Tin Man; Geordie the Scarecrow. Data has Spot with him, dressed like Toto. Geordie's brought a date as Dorothy but she wanders off and doesn't talk to him for the rest of the party.

In comic books Star Trek has teamed up with:
Doctor Who
Green Lantern
Planet of the Apes
Transformers
Legion of Superheroes
X-Men
...and almost Alien!

It's what I always assume every Star Trek game announced will be until I see that it isn't

If Star Trek online had run ground battles like Final Fantasy and Starship travel/battles like a game of chess I would have been a more more regualar player. I cannot pilot a starship at all

Am I really the only person that is surprised that there's NEVER been a Star Trek CRPG?

Ross Webster @tehborg.bsky.social · 2d

I didn't pick Tuvix! Debating his existence is not my entire personality! In reality I'm muxh more like an android cosplaying a fictional Victorian detective

Lower Decks is wonderful Star Trek. Every joke was a banger, every reference a joy. It had buckets of sci-fi, masses of emotional resonance, & genuinly surprising, universe-expanding episodes. I could do 50 more #EngageTheCore

Mike McMahan @mikemcmahan.bsky.social · 2d

Feels weird to not have Solar or Lower Decks in production anymore. So proud of what we accomplished on both shows in very different ways. Thank you to everyone on both productions, and to all the fans who tuned in!!

Lots of people are creating meals right now, so this might take a bit. We'll notify you when your dinner is ready.

My biggest gripe with star trek is that there is a microwave in every wall that can make anything out of thin air and it has basically not changed society/culture at all. Like yes obviously capitalism no longer exists but we dont really see much downstream of that. Real lack of imagination.

Question: Is Redjac appearing in asteroid form? If so they will blast it with a lasagne, then a Vulcan Lirpa and finally the concept of love and laughter which will drive it away?

Worf has just starred in his own (very good) ongoing comic series, Star Trek: Defiant, but it's still wild to think about Kirkman approaching the #TrekComic universe. What he has done with Transformers is outstanding.

Robert Kirkman says Battle Beast was written as Worf fan fiction, because he’s a huge Star Trek The Next Generation fan. #NYCC

I'm reminded that the novelisation of 'Bem', massively expands the original story and takes the reader on a tour of Bem's homeworld Pandro. Spoiler: it's a mad
