Sounds interesting, I’ve never used copilot and I’m not a programmer by profession (I just write a few scripts here and there for data analysis or experiment control), but I’m interested in checking this out. Has anyone here tried it? I’m worried it’ll get in my way more often than it helps.

I was not expecting giveaways on Lemmy!

Honestly I haven’t seen much of this game (having a PhD to finish and all, I haven’t allowed myself to hahaha), but I am hopeful that it will allow me to try to solve conflicts with diplomatic and out of the box thinking instead of just combat, and having it feel like I haven’t cheated myself out of content: it bothers me that I can’t avoid conflict in most games without feeling like I’m missing out, and Star Trek is the perfect IP to make it work.

Thank you for the giveaway! Best of luck!

Edit: Is this valid for all regions?

Oh, I’m sure someone is going to hate me for this, but I really liked Lua when I was making simple games in Love2D. I think it’s a shame how there’s basically no applications for Lua outside of game development and modding.

Does this mean that Facebook will also be in the fediverse?

Is THIS the true Metaverse?

Amazing how you can work 8 hours without it ever stopping being 1 am. Human beings really are amazing when they are motivated

Were there Duolingo speedrunning communities in other websites like Reddit and Twitter, or is this something you’re trying to get off the ground?

You’re the badass stoich character from fantasy stories!

Not necessarily today. You never know!

I still see a few posts and comments from Beehaw so I don’t think so.

We had a post about not pooping for 3 days as one of the main things to happen here. Any art project is good enough for lemmy lol

Question: why does nobody else save and exit with “:x” or “:x!”?

I dunno, I liked it deep fried

I remember that at the beginning of Voyager. Janeway tries that on B’elana and she responds with something similar.

People have mentioned good options such as books, and they have mentioned hobbies, but since apparently you like video games, why not try developing some games?

It’s free, just download a game engine such as Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot (my vote goes to Godot as it’s open source but you can’t go wrong, try whichever sounds more appealing and if you don’t like one check the others out) and follow some tutorials. That’s where YouTube can shine again!

It’s a great way to exercise your creativity and learn some programming. If you don’t like programming, you can join a team and just be a designer, thinking up gameplay concepts. Or the other way around, someone else can help you design the game while you code it.

Or… Maybe you don’t like programming. Why not try making digital art? It could be pixel art, 3D modeling (both of which go really well with a game development hobby, but with 3D modeling you can transition into 3D printing) or just plain old art, digital or not.

It’s just an example. It’s amazing how many things are available for us to learn on the internet, you cá try anything you ever had a passing interest on. Always had trouble drawing? Go watch some tutorials and try again! Want to learn a new language? Get on Duolingo to learn some basics and then watch some TV shows or movies in other languages!

I know when you are really, truly bored, all of these will sound dreadful. But stick with it past the initial boredom and you will find something that will make you unable to stop.

Keep us updated!

Wait… So it’s Star: Trek Into Darkness and Star: Trek Beyond?? That makes so much sense

If anyone here has read Good Omens, this reminds me of the houseplants scene!

I tried it. Pretty cool, but the closest user to me was 270 km away. Maybe one day I’ll meet her, but for now I guess it doesn’t have critical mass for me.

When you say algorithmic dating, did you try multiple apps or just one? Did you have more positive experiences with any one app?

I may do it, but I’m a bit shy about the account creation part, specifically having to take pictures of myself which are not terrible. I feel like I’m decently attractive, but I hate all pictures of me. I think this is honestly my biggest hurdle.

You know, I am single and have been curious about dating apps for a while. But I never really got over the hurdle of making a profile because of how much of a hellscape it seems. I may be curious enough to make a profile in this website tonight (fully expecting 0 users in my entire country)
