James T Kirk taught me it’s okay to cheat, as long as you don’t get caught. 🤫

As my old tech teacher in HS used to say, "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'"

That would make for a great framed motivational poster.

When things seem hopeless, just remember to try ejecting the warp core

That's what I call the morning after a night of heavy drinking

I've been hanging on for so long. Just want to be happy.

If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked long ago.

If you immediately know the tractor beam is Borg, then the assimilation began long ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It's embarrassing that I understood that metaphor more. But still confused as to how it applies here. You sayin that I am happy and don't know it?

Sorry. I'm a moron to start with and I haven't really slept in days or eaten in as long.... It's been a really upsetting week.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

One of my life quotes when things are hard.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I'd like life to wrap things up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

My friend, in the grand scheme of things I promise it will, at least for you and me. No need to rush it!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Eh. I'm tired.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew, great game which was sadly abandoned and left to rot, started you out with the Kobayashi Maru. My friends and I got in there, beamed out as many folks as we could without firing a shot on the Klingons, and then got the hell outta the neutral zone as soon as the Kobayashi Maru was destroyed.

Is that considered a loss? I'd say we saved a bunch of people and hopefully avoided a war. Best we could do given the circumstances. And that's how we manage life sometimes, as well. You can't win, but you manage as best you can given the circumstances and take the small victories wherever you find them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That game option is the perfect Starfleet choice, but I think canon of the test was that once you got in close enough to try a rescue it ended up that the Maru was a ruse. Of course if you didn't do any rescue it would end up being a true ship, but that's the no-win part. The game allowing a partial rescue made it not a "test", but an actual reality with some chance. Which was Kirk's point...reality can hand you many more possibilities than a test ever can.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah canon I believe is you can't get close enough to transport without violating the neutral zone. So it's a binary either or choice. You rescue and start a war or you watch those people die.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The latter is what Sulu did, but there's more backstory to why he made that choice back then. Obviously from the movies he changed as a captain to do whatever it took when the assistance was needed by friends.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I did that mission, they never specified the neutral zone was there, so I operated under the assumption we were in Federation space. When the birds of pray appeared, there was no option to hail (or they didn't respond), so I just beat them. And they attacked one at a time. Felt really cheesy, like they used Kobayashi Maru as a reference without actually replicating the test, because it also served as the tutorial.

Kobayashi Maru should have been the last mission, not the first. And it should be properly impossible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Kobayashi Maru WAS the last mission. Youre talking about part of the opening tutorial. There was a final mission titled Kobayashi Maru that required a decent degree of teamwork to successfully pull off. You needed to beam off at least 80 civilians from the ship. You could succeed but it was pretty difficult to do so. You could also rescue everyone but it was both difficult and tedious.

I'm glad they got my boy Broccoli in the shot lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They call him “vegetable” because after a fight with him, that’s how people end up.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then my best advice is: Mr. Sulu, RAMMING SPEED!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

10 bars of gold pressed latinum to anyone who finds this on a shirt for me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can I just get food if I find it?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

10 bars of gold pressed latinum can buy many peanuts.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Alas I get no latinum

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Alas I cannot find it. No foods for me

James. T Kirk

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'd rather be Boimler on this one. Kirk cheated. Boimler just got gud.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Stamets - you may have a future as ‘an independent artist/designer’ on TeePublic.com.

I’d buy it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I made this, sure, but I only found this online.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Appreciate your integrity.

It just sounded like something you might actually say this week…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If I wrote something it'd be far more bleak. Something like

Everyday is like I'm being tortured by Cardassians. Five lights. Please. Five lights...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Kirk isn't the only one who can reprogram simulations tho...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That full stop.
