In German it is called “Das nächste Jahrhundert” meaning “The next century”, which avoids that issue.

I also recommend them, they are great. Some things that i especially like is the connection between the two main characters, the books giving you a very believable idea on how dragon-based warfare could work and showing different ways various cultures interact with dragons. While the major european powers mostly stick to the air force part mentioned in my earlier comment and generally don’t interact with people outside the military much, china for example has dragons more integrated into society and holding a wider variety of jobs. Book 4 showed a lot about dragons in southern africa, though i won’t spoil the specifics.

I have completed book 4 since my previous comment and am now deep into book 5.

I am currently about halfway through the fourth book of the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. A sort of historical fantasy set in a version of the Napoleonic wars in a world with dragons, which are used by the nations of that world as a sort of airforce. This one in particular is about a disease threatening the british dragons and the search for a cure.

There is one: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-Sirius-16-Gen1.tuxedo#

The romulan attempt was in S5E24 “The next phase” so it was before “Pegasus” which is in season 7

They are not making it themselves, that is done by C Prompt Games, Paradox is only the publisher. They have published turn-based games in the past, like Age of Wonders 4, but i am not aware of a turn-based game developed by them.

Venus has some things going for it, like a relatively earth-like gravity of 8,87 m/s² (about 90% of earths) , an atmosphere blocking radiation and being relatively close to earth . The proposed colony would float in a part of the atmosphere that is less hot and dense than the surface. It still wouldn’t be very useful, you can’t utilise the resources on the surface. And it would be obviously very risky.

There was the episode with Scotty in TNG (Relics) where there was indeed the problem of the pattern of the person who was in the buffer with him degrading, but that was over decades (2294-2369), while M’Bengas daughter was in the pattern buffer significantly less time. She was also rematerialised from time to time and it was noted that not doing so risked the integrity of the pattern, which contributed to the issue seen in the TNG episode.

I use it

I got Backpack Hero. Played the demo on itch.io last year and i enjoyed it back then so i already planned on buying it at some point, and seeing it on sale gave me the push to actually do that. And this newer version is good, some mechanics like the curse system have been improved and obviously this version has more content.

I have an interest in both and i do think those two interests are related for me.

Becky Chambers books tend to be pretty low stakes, so you might want to check those out.

Yes, Relay. Not nearly as much as before the whole API situation, but i still use it occasionally.

I don’t think the website name is that unusual, there are plenty of lemmy servers with names that don’t contain the word “lemmy” like feddit.de, discuss.tchncs.de, beehaw.org or pawb.social.
