What is the equivalent for being assimilated? Subscribing to YouTube Premium? Watching the ads?

But the borg assimilate you for free.

Piped seems to work for most Youtube videos on Firefox, at least that I’ve found. My issue is that I have a youtube addon that allows me to double the volume and it doesn’t work on piped.

jaybone ,

What’s the downside to switching to piped?

Stamets ,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

There are fewer features than there are on YouTube. That’s about it. Otherwise it runs better in every regard.

The only reason I use YouTube proper is because of add-ons I already have that make my YouTube experience better.

This is legit horror

mostNONheinous ,

It reads like a Chief O’Brien at Work strip. Except he wouldn’t say “hey what the fuck” because he would just be so sad he couldn’t speak.

Holy shit, was this a real episode? Anyone got the Season Episode and Title handy? I know at least a few of you nerds do

This wiki also features articles on Krull, the Allspark, and the Chaos Emeralds. I can only assume this all takes place in the Tails Gets Trolled universe.

Ebenezer Scrooge was the true Multiverse of Madness.

On a related topic I wonder if Plague of Gripes ever finished that fence around his farm.

If they threw the ball backwards, was it mandatory that everyone jump and spin around?

This reminds me of Vanilla Sky.

spoilerKurt Russell’s character realises he is in a simulation and has an existential crisis. You lived your entire life to this point and from someone else’s perspective you’re basically an NPC. Dread.

Daft_ish ,

Hehe Kurt Russel as the least in vanilla sky? I’d watch it.

Anticorp ,

You know what Jack Burton always says… what the hell?

CitizenKong ,

Well, poor guy/girl is probably from a reality where Kurt Russell did play the lead in Vanilla Sky and is now having an identity crisis.

Rodeo ,

All other people are NPCs from the perspective of one person. That’s what “non-player character” means.

You’re the player in your own mind, aren’t you? That makes the rest of us NPCs.

I just don’t see how someone else’s perspective of my autonomy should cause such a crisis in me.

karlach ,
@karlach@lemmy.world avatar

The difference is NPCs exist only for the main character’s experience. Oblivion’s Adoring Fan does not have a life outside of interacting with the main character or an existence outside of when the human in the external reality controls the main character in the simulated reality. In our reality there is apparently no main character. Everything and everyone simply is. To learn one is artificial is to realise that everything one has done is artificial and confined to the boundaries of someone else’s experience. A created slave with a hollow origin and no means of escaping a forced purpose.

Rodeo ,

I mean a cursory glance at your own life ought to show you that you do in fact have a life outside of the experiences of some arbitrary person. If you were told you are an NPC, does your lifetime of personal experiences simply vanish?

Even if you were shown proof that you’re a simulation, can you really just let go of your entire existence like that?

I think denial would be a far more common reaction than existential crisis.

We need a Lower Decks style series about this ensign Picard. Lower Decks style as in it’s not about the captain but the lower decks

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

So like the episode of TNG titled “Lower Decks” and not the series titled “Lower Decks?”

ensign picard is the nurse who died on a starship voyager commanded by captain harry kim

merc ,

I just want to see how happy and relaxed Ensign Picard is. No critical decisions to make. Able to make friends among the crew without his rank getting in the way.

We get to see Captain Picard in Ensign Picard’s body, but we never get to see the slacker who has big dreams but doesn’t bother to push himself.

Sharkwellington ,

Makes me think of the plot from The Office when Michael had a telemarketing job and seemed so much happier when he was one of the underlings instead of the guy at the top.

ReplicatedSoda ,

I’ve been in that position before. From manager to agent, and back to manager.

It was a blast, I had so much fun.
It got boring pretty quick though.

jayandp ,

Ensign Picard living his best life, until he dies at Wolf-359.

lugal ,

What we don’t see in the episode is that Q does the same thing to ensign Picard and he is like: “This sad and lonely fellow would be me if I sacrificed everything for my career?”
