    Star Trek Enterprise-B and Captain Harriman post Generations

    So, I'm curious, how would people handle the fall-out from what is perceived as the death of Captain Kirk? Would Captain Harriman be removed from command or be allowed to continue as the Enterprise-B's captain? Would the ship itself perhaps be seen as a cursed ship and not the Federation's...

    I'm starting this mainly to post about this one story in contrast to the Mar-a-Lago court nonsense, but I'm sure others will have stories to share on this topic, so by all means. ;)

    Laptop advice

    So I got an older Acer with Windows 10 on it. Unfortunately for whatever reason, I went to go open it and one of the hinges apparently decided it would rather stay closed, and the top came apart and pinched on the screen, breaking it. I tried looking for another cheap replacement (this one...

    Anime & Manga Western Localization Problems

    While some people have turned to anime and manga to get away from "The Message," the problem is that localization companies have been thoroughly infiltrated by NCPs who have begun to change scripts to suit their ideologies.

    Windows 11 Help

    So my new computer has Windows 11 on it, and something I could use help/advice on is how to handle updates. I do not like the idea of my computer randomly installing stuff I may not want on my computer, nor disabling/uninstalling things I do want, like WordPad. Is there any way of being able...

    Anime & Manga Con depression

    Cons these days are shifting everything over to "apps" for pocket computers. Basically none of them have the old guidebooks with convenient things like maps and schedule grids anymore. Worse yet, they don't make big poster versions of the con map or the schedule grid anymore either. Used to...

    United States Mass Shooting in Allen, TX

    I'm honestly kind of shocked there isn't a thread about this. Here's a video of TheQuartering musing about the differences between this shooting and the Nashville shooting as far as how law enforcement and the media are treating it before discussing how the BBC posted an article on Twitter in...

    As a regular convention-goer, I've noticed a rather disturbing trend lately, which is that most cons are getting really lazy and only putting their schedule grid and map online instead of putting them in the programming guide like civilized people. So I'm going to need a pocket computer of some...
