James T Kirk taught me it’s okay to cheat, as long as you don’t get caught. 🤫

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As my old tech teacher in HS used to say, "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'"

Sad but true.

We are all part of the Bear Pack here. 🐻

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would make for a great framed motivational poster.

We all need a Shaxs looking out for us

When things seem hopeless, just remember to try ejecting the warp core

That's what I call the morning after a night of heavy drinking

I've been hanging on for so long. Just want to be happy.

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked long ago.

If you immediately know the tractor beam is Borg, then the assimilation began long ago.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's embarrassing that I understood that metaphor more. But still confused as to how it applies here. You sayin that I am happy and don't know it?

Sorry. I'm a moron to start with and I haven't really slept in days or eaten in as long.... It's been a really upsetting week.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's less that I'm lookin for it and more that it never found me. My whole life has been... Unpleasant. Honestly I've never been happy or anywhere even close to it. It's whatever. Some people don't get to be happy. I've just sort of accepted it.

Also have never seen SG-1 which explains why I was so confused

I'm glad they got my boy Broccoli in the shot lol

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They call him “vegetable” because after a fight with him, that’s how people end up.

[–] ryan@the.coolest.zone 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Star Trek: Bridge Crew, great game which was sadly abandoned and left to rot, started you out with the Kobayashi Maru. My friends and I got in there, beamed out as many folks as we could without firing a shot on the Klingons, and then got the hell outta the neutral zone as soon as the Kobayashi Maru was destroyed.

Is that considered a loss? I'd say we saved a bunch of people and hopefully avoided a war. Best we could do given the circumstances. And that's how we manage life sometimes, as well. You can't win, but you manage as best you can given the circumstances and take the small victories wherever you find them.

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I did that mission, they never specified the neutral zone was there, so I operated under the assumption we were in Federation space. When the birds of pray appeared, there was no option to hail (or they didn't respond), so I just beat them. And they attacked one at a time. Felt really cheesy, like they used Kobayashi Maru as a reference without actually replicating the test, because it also served as the tutorial.

Kobayashi Maru should have been the last mission, not the first. And it should be properly impossible.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Kobayashi Maru WAS the last mission. Youre talking about part of the opening tutorial. There was a final mission titled Kobayashi Maru that required a decent degree of teamwork to successfully pull off. You needed to beam off at least 80 civilians from the ship. You could succeed but it was pretty difficult to do so. You could also rescue everyone but it was both difficult and tedious.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Yup. I used to play it online a lot. Still do on occasion.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

10 bars of gold pressed latinum to anyone who finds this on a shirt for me.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can I just get food if I find it?

[–] VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

10 bars of gold pressed latinum can buy many peanuts.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

Alas I get no latinum

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alas I cannot find it. No foods for me

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tired of replicated foods or out of rations?

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Out of rations and the nearest M Class planet is 2 days away at current warp speeds.

[–] VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Might as well

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then my best advice is: Mr. Sulu, RAMMING SPEED!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago
[–] TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

James. T Kirk

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'd rather be Boimler on this one. Kirk cheated. Boimler just got gud.

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Stamets - you may have a future as ‘an independent artist/designer’ on TeePublic.com.

I’d buy it.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I made this, sure, but I only found this online.

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Appreciate your integrity.

It just sounded like something you might actually say this week…

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If I wrote something it'd be far more bleak. Something like

Everyday is like I'm being tortured by Cardassians. Five lights. Please. Five lights...

[–] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Kirk isn't the only one who can reprogram simulations tho...

[–] BoringHusband@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That full stop.
