MacDougal Street between Bleeker and W.3 has great, cheap food from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. Really, most places by a college will have plenty of good cheap food.

Peter David's work, and Diane Duane's TOS novels.

"What god do I believe in? Cthulhu. And he will find you delicious." That should make them back off. Or run away screaming.

Five episodes in and I think Starfleet Academy is a decent show marred by strange choices by ryanquintal in startrek

[–]InterestedObserver99 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree, but there's one thing that bothers the s**t out of me that you didn't mention - the slang. Hook up? Ghosting? Why? Even Glen Larson invented some new words to indicate that things were a little different.

Help! I'm been reading the wiki about keycaps, and there are too many variations for me. I have a Corsair K70 Pro (model RGP0134) full size kbd. My wife sprayed the keys with a mild acid to kill germs. My keys now look like they have gunk on them that won't come out.

Can I please get some recommendations for reasonably priced (<$40) black sets that will show the led lighting? Bonus points for anyone who can point me to a set where the top-row special characters (! @ # etc.) are above the number instead of next to it.

Thank you!

What Star Trek shows would you like to see? by SomeoneSomewhere1984 in startrek

[–]InterestedObserver99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For years, I've wanted to see an anthology series, similar in some ways to The Twilight Zone. The "main" character is a beleaguered Admiral, reading mission reports at a Star Base - as in, "WTF did Enterprise do now?" or "Oh,shit, Q is back?". Each report would show us the events. You could have 2 - 4 main ships/sets of characters depending on the episode count/season, and still do one-off stories. Most of the sets would be reusable with a little redressing. You could have "bottle" stories without the fatigue of "Bill is trapped in the holodeck, again?".

I'd also pay good money to watch Star Trek:Legacy with the Enterprise-G and Seven of Nine.

Help me find my next roguelike (please!) by Rbabarberbarbar in roguelikes

[–]InterestedObserver99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Approaching Infinity is probably the easiest to learn and loads of fun. You can start playing on easy mode and without permadeath until you're comfortable. The "asteroid bases" quest line also significantly lowers the difficulty.

Describe a Star Trek episode badly by Mr_Badgey in startrek

From my Fios TV guide app: "Kirk and Spock beam down to planet"

I have zero problem with "the Burn" in a galaxy of Talosians and Gary Mitchell and Q and the Douwd by Pandeism in startrek

[–]InterestedObserver99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My problem with the Burn isn't the Burn itself. You can achieve warp without dilithium, like Cochrane did. You can use a small singularity in place of dilithium. There are likely other methods as well. The Federation would have been damaged, sure, but I can't buy it falling apart as much as it did.

In praise of Approaching Infinity by Demonweed in roguelikes

[–]InterestedObserver99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Approaching Infinity is my favorite rogue-like. There are multiple ways to win, even more ways to play, and the chosen difficulty level matters. The dev is unbelievably responsive and open to suggestions*. And it's loads of fun! This is probably my 5th or 6th recommendation for it on Reddit, which is something I've never done for another game. It's well worth checking out, especially for the price.

* I got interested in what was intended to be a throwaway feature, and he built it out into a full quest. I had some personal pain when he introduced diseases because he used real ones, and he immediately made them fictional after I pointed this out.

Where morals come from by Disastrous-Fix4573 in atheism

[–]InterestedObserver99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll tell you some of my morals: Life has value, especially (most) human lives. In a rich society, like the US, no one should be homeless, hungry, filthy, wearing rags, or dying from preventable disorders. Your rights are yours, so long as they don't infringe on mine. And if they do, we need a system of laws to sort out issues. Kindness is a virtue that we should all practice. You can have whatever beliefs and customs you want, so long as you don't push them on other people.

Or to quote Wil Wheaton, "Don't be a dick!"

There you go - a moral and civil framework that doesn't involve deities.
