/c/TenForward: 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

All who misbehave will be put in the agony booth.

And then the pattern buffer.

Where do I sign up for a shift in the booth?

To be clear I don't want to run it, I just want a bit of time inside to feel something.

Signed,

Chief O'Brien

He is his own Agony Booth

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And then back in the agony booth immediately from the pattern buffer once the queue has cycled?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some enterprising cadet needs to just invent the agony buffer already. Seems more energy efficient that way.

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At last! I've finally invented the agony buffer, as seen in the viral hit holodeck sim "Please don't invent the agony buffer."

[–] Lemming421@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Next step - the temporal agony buffer, where you can live a full 80 year cycle in less then an hour.

video

(needs audio, annoyingly won't stop after first playthrough but plays in a loop - anyone know how to tell it to do that?)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you tried putting it in the agony booth?

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago

No, it was straight to the pattern buffer for that one!

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It needs to truly be externally hosted instead of embedded like this. Lemmy embeds are lacking a lot, but I doubt proper audio for them is even planned.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago

Lemmy is most definitely still in beta, if not alpha even, though we all have fun here:-).

[–] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It actually sounds like it could be part of a song like this hah. Like part of that weird frontier psychiatry song.

[–] robdor@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok but what if I developed some weird fetish after my first visit to the booth?

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

AGONY booth. Oh. Well. That explains why my plans were rejected.

Ah, y'know what they say, "When you accidentally build a suicide booth, it's best not to let it go to waste". Slow N' Painful's, free of charge, everyone!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

We have those on offer too.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it for people that post off-topic stuff?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, we feed them to the mugato.

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't tempt the mugato. We feed it babies when we can't find anything else to feed it.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Punishment? ..... What if we want to be in the Agony Booth and the Pattern Buffer just so we can momentarily escape this deep dark aimless and pointless existence?

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For me and my shitty body, a trip to the agony booth would be a vacation. So what inflammatory language do I need to use to be sent there?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Just try and fail to kill your superior officer.

[–] blahsay@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jokes on you, I'm into that shit

[–] Dvixen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Threatening me with a good time?
