I don’t like zombie movies. I watch Star Trek because I like Star Trek, not zombie movies. For an episode to score the highest reviews, it needs to appeal to a wide range of fans, so I would not expect a take on a different genre to score as well as a traditional Star Trek episode.

It is a module. No need to load it if you don’t have an ASUS.

Bazzite works great. You may want to use XIVLauncher, but it’s not required. If you prefer to use Steam input for gamepad, XIVLauncher can be installed as a Steam compatibility tool.

My gaming laptop runs FFXIV with no performance difference between Bazzite and Windows 10. There was one time Bazzite pushed out an update with broken nvidia drivers, but I was able to roll back easily and they pushed out a fix quickly.

Diane Duane wrote some great Star Trek books - The Wounded Sky and Spock’s World are perennial favorites.

I’d also recommend Q-Squared by Peter David. Very ambitious book and does a great job of making some lore connections.

Love this guy! The first and favorite role I saw him in was the scientist in TMNT 2: The Secret of the Ooze, but he’s been in so much and it’s always fun to spot him in something new.

Speaking of Shakespearian actors, in Quest of the Delta Knights he played alongside Olivia Hussey, better known for her portrayal of Juliet in the 1968 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.

His double casting in Quest of the Delta Knights was his idea, supposedly. What a guy.

For validation and/or (de)serialization: pydantic.

Otherwise, dataclasses.

I also like to replace tuples with NamedTuple, but I tend to use tuples a lot in the first place. It’s generally recommended to use dataclasses instead if you don’t specifically need tuple-like behavior.

I’d recommend Bazzite. It’s a gaming-focused immutable distro. The base system is an image and updates are automatic; a 13-year old might already be familiar with this kind of system because it’s similar to how Chromebooks work. It comes with Steam and Lutris preinstalled. You can install additional software via flatpak.

Code written in Rust has been shown to have significantly fewer security vulnerabilities than code written in C. Distributions like Ubuntu ship a lot of security updates, so by switching to Rust-based utils, they can reduce their workload in the long run.

I’m impressed the box advertised Linux compatibility. Not common to see that on product packaging back then in the late 90s, so it was always nice when it did.
