I'm trying to watch DS9 with my partner. I've seen the series a couple times before, but it brings me such comfort that I don't make it much past the intro before I'm lights-out, no matter what time is is

I'd say you're probably right!

I've been meaning to reply sooner, but I kept your comment up so I could get back to you

You did mostly answer my question! I looked him up and was delighted by what I read. My first wh40k army was the necrons. I have their symbol hanging from my rear view mirror, even! It's been there in my cars for the last 20ish years? I have the first necron codex

[Insert image of codex here] I can't find it atm, or else I'd share

But I haven't been active in a very long time and I was blown away by the changes to the units when I looked them up a few weeks ago

Ultimately I was wondering what the artwork was from but I was still glad to learn about some new lore

You're not dumb, you're just not educated in this field. It's basically an inside joke and you're not in on it

But I do agree. I'd love a blurb from the poster, just a sentence even, as to what it refers to. Also like the artefact pictures are amazing and beautiful but I want to know the significance, no matter how small it is

It's not even that. They removed ticket #67, so it goes 66, 68,70 (because they removed 69 also). The order that people place their orders in

Even so, businesses wouldn't just get rid of something, they'd renumber it

I guarantee you that's a tree farm. I'd gladly be proved wrong

The uniform height, spacing, and lush branches are a key clue. I wish I took pictures on my last trip so I could show you what I'm talking about, but I was traveling through a place undergoing logging. In the forest, like you're thinking, the lower branches are dead because the crowns are crowding out the light. In the understory, lower light plants thrive, ones who can't really take full sun all day

I say this to hopefully assuage your feelings about the picture. The tree did what it was meant to do, and in a spectacular way

Hey, I get it. I've seen and heard plenty of things that break my brain until I get some context clue

The worst is when I tune into a song that's already playing, or hear a sentence already being spoken, and my brain places pauses or is off a beat; I hear absolute gibberish and wonder if I'm having a stroke

Cozy indeed

No farts please tho, personally

Is this from something? Or just necron fanart?

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you so much! I'll check it out

Could you find a link or do you remember the channel name? I think falconry is really awesome and I'd love to see that

 

The titles are:
"Reaper Man", "Small Gods", "Wyrd Sisters", "Moving Pictures"

Went to an adorable book shop and found these guys. I haven't read Pratchett yet but I feel it'll be right up my alley

I'm pretty sure I see "Small Gods" and "Wyrd Sisters" recommended a lot and I know you can't really go wrong, but of these which would you recommend the most? Since this is what I have I'll read them all eventually

Regardless I'm excited to have gotten physical copies because my library has long wait lists for his books

Edit: Thanks for all of the discussion! This post brought me a lot of positive on an otherwise rough day. I've decided to start with "Small Gods"

I just want to say again thank you to everyone who responded to me or to someone else. It's been a joy hearing what each person has to contribute to the conversation

Even if they fall flat (which I highly doubt) all of your enthusiasm came through and that really in itself means so much. It was truly touching

 

2 adults and 1 younger teen

We're going on a two week road trip that'll be fairly leisurely. Stopping by some parks and sights as we go and a few nights at our ultimate destination

I had my car recently serviced. It all checks out

I have a steam deck on the way! Any recommendations here for travel accessories? Or just in general?

We've all got devices and chargers and their respective blocks. I'm looking at a power inverter for the hungrier devices
I was debating bringing the oculus to give whomever a bit of isolation if they need; is there anything specific I'd need to do to use it where there's no internet? I haven't used it enough to be very familiar with most of its abilities

We adults have ps5s. Most likely won't bring one. I've seen portable monitors that people use with a local device; does anyone have experience using one for remote play for the ps5?

And making sure we've got entertainment downloaded to our devices; obviously books and offline/non electronic entertainment will be brought, as well

I'm really looking forward to this and want to make it the best experience for all involved! I look forward to hearing your tips

Edit to add: the point of the road trip is to bury my grandfather. And I'm petrified of flying in the current state of the US

Since we HAVE to make this trip we're trying to make the most of it by stopping by some state/national parks and other landmarks/pois during which we'll be present. But there's going to be LONG stretches of literally nothing exciting. Like corn fields. Many hours of corn fields. Most days are 6 - 10 hours in the car
