like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate...
It wasn’t through Disboard, but this is basically what I did. Moved to a new city, found a community Discord that was mentioned on Reddit, and asked around for interest in a D&D campaign. Now I’ve got two games going, and am great friends with everyone I play with. TTRPGs are a social skill, but most people are very welcoming of those new to the hobby
I didn’t want to point the finger without anything to go on, but my assumption was that it was what Paramount wanted, and not the people actually involved with the show lol
Yeah, I saw this yesterday, looked up the game, and immediately decided I’d already gotten all the joy out of it that I ever could have. For such a well written and thoughtful series, I can’t believe the game they decided to do was a cookie clicker scam

They do have Federation Standard as a language, which I assume is probably English with lots of words from Vulcan, Andorian, and Tellarite, but not everyone knows it. The problem in that episode though wasn’t that the UT was down, it’s that it was translating what everyone was saying, or reading on consoles, into other languages. I’m sure there were places on the ship we didn’t see, where some historian was so excited to have a use for their pen and paper, so they could communicate through written Federation Standard lol
I always forget the name of their species, but the people who require a breather to pump in fresh non-Oxygen rich, I assume that if they had any ships, their life support would be exclusively their air, with those neck devices to help pump when visiting other plants and ships.
The Barzan! This is actually something in Discovery! They go to a small Star Fleet ship that was run by an all Barzan crew (just one family), and the atmosphere is modified for them, so the Barzan member of Discovery’s crew doesn’t need her breathing apparatus. I think you’re probably absolutely right that other Star Fleet ships are made with serious accomodations for other species. Maybe the Bolian ship has especially robust plumbing lol
I’m pretty sure either one of the recent episodes of Lower Decks, or the episode of TNG with that guy that doesn’t look like Tom Paris, had a minor character that was some kind of junior captain, with three full, and one hollow pip
If we actually had this ability, our lives would be crazy. You can just beam yourself an entire lifetime as your D&D character, or in your favorite video game or novels. And then just be back.
The point of Rotom as far as i can tell is that it inspirits devices that have a ‘special motor’ in them. This is mentioned in many of its pokedex entries, even so far as to say that it can only use a specific model of discontinued washing machine (this also raises questions about the origin of this motor)....
The games presented the Rotom Pokedex like it was a big technological breakthrough, so I assumed what that means is they were able to miniaturize whatever Rotom required to go into a machine, and put it in the Pokedex, and then your phone.

Is there a forum for people who are lonely and sad but specifically not incel sickos?
