/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

"They're entering Seattle."

"How can you tell?!"

"They've gone to plaid!"

that effect is literally just a wool blanket with a plaid pattern in front of a lamp, I love it :D

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

I think it’s more akin to a projected picture of a wool blanket, because light shining through a real blanket would be diffuse and not project a crisp image.

If it was a lamp, then the blanket, then a lens to focus the image, then that could work. But at that point why not just shine the light through an image on film before hitting the lens, rather than use an actual blanket.

The latest Star Wars films have million dollar CGI and special effects budgets but all these guys had was a lamp and a plaid blanket and they made a film that was way better.

Not Tuvok, his fro comb empty.

That's not all he's lost...

I would pay money to see Brent Spiner do the sound effects.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is the crossover we've all been waiting for.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Me scrolling through these comments: “Why are Trekballs memes/jokes not more of a thing!?”

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

"How many lights?"

"Sir?"

I would love to hear Data doing sound effects lol

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Data is the only person that could beat Micheal Winslow on his own turf.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

I dunno... in reproduction accuracy sure, but in humorous selection Data would fall behind.
