Its not Foss, but gog.com is based in Europe. It offers DRM free games. Lots of old games, but also tons of new games as well.

This was most definitely my least favourite. Why show what Kionians look like in episode 1 when you're just going to make them all look human in episode 7. Just seems lazy to me.

Genesis and Caleb's story was better, but seemed out of character for Genesis. I also disliked the suggestion that men & women can't be friends without falling in love with each other.

I'm starting to like the Venari Ral quite a bit actually. They seem to be more like actual mustache twirling pirates rather than a tyranical government masquerading as pirates like the chain was. I'm waiting for Calebs mom to be re-introduced as his right hand in the finale.

I really like this take. I did get the impression that Dax is also kinda the wild child of the symbiotes too, for many of the reasons you listed. They are also very passionate about their friends. They chose to uphold a blood oath that even the Klingons didn't consider binding, they stood by Sisko for 3 lifetimes, they refused to break the confidence of one of Curzon's married lovers, at the risk of their life, and they protected Jake's book, for many centuries. They hold onto these generational bonds, even though its taboo for the Trill.

AAA games are just too expensive and many are just not finished at release now. I'm not forking out top dollar for a half finished game. Outer Worlds 2 is still $89.99 CAD. That is absolutely insane in my opinion. I enjoyed the first one, but I also bought it on sale. Indy games nowadays are generally a better bang for your buck anyways and theyre only $30-40 regular price and they are also generally at a finished state or at the very least very honest about the state they are in.

I'll probably pick the game up in 2 years when its $20 on Steam or something.

I understand why he did it that way, but I completely disagree with the assessment that was all an end user should do after installing a fresh is on a new PC. Whenever I start up a fresh install of Windows or Linux I always make sure everything is working properly before I really do anything else. Is my GPU working properly, is my printer working, can I hear sound, etc. I just assumed that was standard.

I had some concerns going in, but enjoyed them a lot more than I expected. Good to see some familiar faces, especially Vance as he was one of the better Disco s3 additions.

I don't know about other people, but I can barely smoke a whole joint in one sitting in a day. My wife on the other hand can smoke half a pack of cigarettes a day. I don't really know many other people that smoke weed though. I actually smoke less now that I ran out of my home grown stuff I grew last year. The commercial stuff in Canada is way too strong for me.

This whole thing seems like its just a charade to deflect Albertans spite away from the Feds and instead towards BC, because everybody involved has to know that cutting BC out of any pipeline deal was a terrible way to get BC onboard a pipeline through BC. Even people who wouldn't normally care seem to be pissed off about this.

I've been running a home server at home running CasaOS for a few months now. I use a wireguard vpn to remote in to use Jellyfin on my phone etc. Basically i want to know if there's a way i can both hide my public IP (such as using a conventional vpn for torrenting) while still being able to remote in to my server?

I've been thinking of running running all my network traffic through my server and setting up some sort of firewall too, but I'm fairly new to this as this was originally just a project I did out of spite after getting rid of Spotify. I'm fairly green when it comes to networking and servers, but I'm otherwise pretty good with computers and can muddle my way through most things.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

This is the problem with modern TV shows. We only have 10 episode seasons now vs the 20+ long ones from the TNG era. If these were all episodes in a season that lasted 20 episodes I doubt we would be seeing as many complaints, but as it is 10 episodes does not leave much room for any change of pace mid season. This season, while in my opinion was quite well written, was a little all over the place and didn't really seem to have a lot of direction. It really bounced around a lot, which wouldn't be a problem as much if there was 20 episodes to work with, but when you only have 10 its hard to justify some of the "fun" or experimental episodes.

As an aside. My least favourite episode "This is Starfleet" was also my favourite story in the season and if it was shot as a normal episode I think would have probably be my favourite of the series so far. It really captured the "Classic Trek" vibe for me.

I've been thinking of coming back to the game after about 5-7 years away. Are there any new features I need to be aware of? Has anything drastically changed? Also, how well does it run on linux since that's all I have to game with these days? Does anyone have any fleet suggestions? I'm not sure if my old fleet is still around, or if I've been booted or whatever. Thanks in advance.

I didn't realize how truely frustrated I was with windows until I switched a few months ago. I realize now that most of my recent windows troubleshooting was trying to make windows stop doing things I didn't want it to. Now most of my Linux troubleshooting is just learning how to get Linux to do things I actually want it to do, which is actually quite satisfying.

I haven't bought full price games in ages. Games are always released half finished now. Wait six months to a year until it goes on sale and they actually finish the game.
