Nah, 99% sure that it wasn't multiplayer.

Thanks for trying though!

I live in a city where property values have increased by an order of magnitude over about 40 years.

Yes, we have a lot of speculators and wealthy landowners who need to be taxed out of existence.

But we also have a problem where seniors on fixed incomes who have owned their homes for 30 - 50 years cannot afford their property taxes because the land their homes are sitting on has exploded in value.

I don't think so, but I do have very fond memories of playing a Trek game that I have not been able to identify despite quite a bit of searching.

Part of the problem was that I think my dad would get the game to a certain stage for me and then hand over the computer so I could fly around space and shoot things, so my memories are only of a very specific little bit of the game.

This would have been early to mid 90s, on a dual-boot machine, but I think I remember launching it in Linux?

If anybody has the faintest recollection of a 90s (or earlier) Trek game where you could fire phasers or photon torpedoes, and the photon torpedoes looked kind of like a pair of twinkling yellow stars, I would at least feel a little less crazy.

As a selfish daughter, I think this is hilarious tbh.

But I also have a mother who understands and fully supports my and my partner's reproductive choices and I probably would not feel that way if circumstances were different.

Analogous structures? I don't even know her!

We needed one fifteen years ago, but better late than never.

I got out (barely) before the carnage started in earnest.

I'm an industrial mechanic now.

I miss a lot of things about game dev, but the industry as it existed even in 2020 when I left was not where I wanted to be.

One of my favourite performances from VOY (S05E10 Counterpoint).

Hats off to the makeup team for that prosthetic- and to actor Randy Lowell.
