Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season Three Arriving on Digital, DVD, & Blu-ray by stargazingpenguin in c/startrek@startrek.website

It looks like another nice steelbook! Hopefully they continue doing them for the next two seasons as well. It's odd that they've ignored physical soundtrack releases for SNW though, especially since they've done a few others.

We've seen basically nothing of it other than a short trailer, so it's way too early for anyone to be deciding whether it'll be good or not! I'm planning to give it a try, just like I have with every other Trek show so far. If I like it, I'll continue watching. If I don't, I won't!

Giving focus stacking a try! (lemmy.zip)

  • Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mk.2, Olympus 30mm Macro
  • F/8 30.0mm 1/100s ISO-1000 15 frames

I'm still figuring out how to best do this, but I'm amazed at the pictures I can get! This is the JPEG straight from the camera, so no editing other than the stacking and tweaks the camera does. I almost exclusively use natural light, but I'm probably going to need to grab something for this type of thing.

Lots of fun, and if my neighbors didn't think I was crazy before, I'm sure they do now! 😂

Open source real time strategy game 0 A.D. releases Alpha 27 (play0ad.com)
submitted 10 months ago by stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip to c/gaming@beehaw.org

0 A.D. just released a new version today with some interesting changes.

The features they mention on the news page:

  • Vulkan Renderer
  • Multiplayer Savegames
  • Tips & Tricks Page
  • Naval Overhaul
  • Observer Flares
  • New random maps: Foothills, Migration, Coast Range; New skirmish map: Isthmus of Corinth; and updated skirmish maps: Watering Holes, Sporades Islands
  • New and updated art

It's not mentioned in the features list, but I'm interested in the changes they've made to some of the civilizations. The Spartans, Romans, Athenians, and Macedonians all have had changes to make them more unique, which should make the gameplay a little more interesting. The new maps will be nice to try as well to give a bit more variety.

If you enjoy RTS games like Age of Empires and similar, it might be worth a try!

I'm happy to see they won! It's amazing how low Nintendo can go.

If I remember right, about a year ago they were banning a lot of Linux players. It might be happening again.

I'm trying to get the Star Trek community on Lemmy.zip back up and running. Stop by if you're looking for a place to chat about Star Trek!

James "Vic Fontaine" Darren has passed by stargazingpenguin in c/startrek@lemmy.world
[-] stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 year ago

It's sad seeing some of the actors starting to pass. He was a highlight for me too. I had mentioned on a comment a while back that his song playing right after Nog lost his leg was one of my favorite uses of music in Star Trek. The follow-up episode is also one I've watched many times. A lot of good memories.

You'll be missed Vic.

Why I Prefer Minetest To Minecraft - YouTube by stargazingpenguin in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] stargazingpenguin@lemmy.zip 54 points 1 year ago

I primarily prefer it because it does pretty much all the Minecraft stuff I want it to do, and it's got other games available as well. Plus, completely Linux compatible and no Microsoft account!

Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? (lemmy.zip)

We've got two big sales going on, and I'm currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I'm planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it's 60% off, and I'm trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta.

What patient games are the people here planning to pick up? Maybe I'll find a few that I "need" to try!

Blue Origin needs to get a viable alternative flying before they start trying to take down the competition!

Check out Ventoy! Unless you need a single ISO on the drive, it's just something you install to it and then copy and paste ISOs to the folder on it. No flashing needed, it runs them for you. I've got 128GB drives almost filled with every ISO I could possibly want.

Pop doesn't use stock Gnome, there's a lot of modifications to it. They're also working on their own DE for future releases, called Cosmic.

Linux is designed to give you freedom to change things to your liking, and Canonical and many other distro teams obviously feel they can improve Gnome.

First year fully gaming on Linux. (lemmy.zip)

I saw there was a somewhat similar post to this, but I'm kind of celebrating the fact that this was the first year I was able to game exclusively on Linux! I'm very thankful for all of the effort from the people involved in all of the aspects of Wine/Proton, it's great to not need to reboot to play games.
