I spent so much time with STO when it first came out. Sadly feature creep ruined it for me as time went by. I played a couple of hours recently though and enjoyed the nostalgia a lot!

I probably still have my pre-order t-shirt somewhere...

There are apps that show teletext which, acording to some, are quite popular. It does somehow fit into a retro scifi aesthetic too if one's into that kind of thing ๐Ÿ˜„

The small ships are so cute... Do you have a shelf for them?

Now there's a hat I'd compliment!

Garden chair by Danish designer Peter Opsvik. It promoted the concept of "best position is next position" in regards to sitting posture and ergonomics. Actually pretty nice to sit in - worth trying out if you happen to see one irl.

If this had been available when I was a child it would've been the only thing I wanted!

Hope you do post everyday so I get to marvel at it too ๐Ÿ˜„

It exists but it's niche and expensive.

For general use 80/20 is a good bet if you don't mind the downsides and if you're not fanatic about natural fibres like me ๐Ÿ˜„

True and if they're the cheapest on amazon, chances are that they will continue to develop holes faster than one can patch them up. I've had luck mending a couple of mine although it does require a delicate hand.

What kind of holes? If the material hasn't worn out to a thin sheet of nothing, mending is an option too and is even better in terms of BIFL / RRR mentality! Lots of techniques too from easy to decorative to unnoticeable.

Worn out shirts make e.g. great glove liners or tube scarves btw if you have a sewing machine and a few minutes to spare (and are into upcycling.)
