So years ago I mused about wanting a pixelly iOS Star Trek game. Star Command, when finally released, wasn’t quite what I’d hoped for. – 12:44 AM GMT
Being inattentive in my dotage I missed the news last late summer. – 12:45 AM GMT
The EXACT game I wanted was released! It’s called Star Trek: Trexels. itunes.apple.com/us/app/star-tr… – 12:45 AM GMT
Here is a patched-together view of the Trexelprise TRX-1701, in the game’s early stages. pic.twitter.com/Pdj2Ei9gSV – 12:47 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt I certainly had never heard of it until I SAW AN AD someplace. I haven’t really screwed around with it enough to evaluate it. – 12:50 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt but: Kirk fighting music: check. Bleeping greebles: check. – 12:58 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt it was a SQUARE FORMAT ONLINE DISPLAY AD that I CLICKED ON – 12:59 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt although, I do recall seeing this, which must be a promo:johnmartz.com/trexels – 01:00 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt where did I see this print image? on Tumblr, entirely free of attribution. /shakes fist – 01:01 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt no iOS. also I wasn’t partial to the clickpanic play style. Star Command seems very closely modeled on FTL, fwiw. – 01:10 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt HAR HAR HAR /mutters my wisdom is wasted on the youth – 01:55 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt also, good one – 01:55 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt yeah, same here even on iPad. haven’t looked to see if Trexels has beamed in to phone, but wonder if it might suffer too. – 01:57 AM GMT
@arthurwyatt you know, Bridge Commander is the abandoned bride in all of this. – 01:58 AM GMT

@LeavittAlone implies fortified wines, I think you are correct. Madeira and Canary wines cited in paper as trade goods to Newfoundland. – 11:41 PM GMT
@LeavittAlone BUT since they are all over the temporal map, who knows. Beer in the north and Roman wines to the south, I’d guess. – 11:42 PM GMT
Dear nose and lung crud, it is time for you to move along now. Thank you. – 11:45 PM GMT
@LeavittAlone no, that’s true, there are distinct stages. Roman and Greek wine was rawer, not aged, maybe less acohol. – 11:46 PM GMT
@LeavittAlone Then in the middle ages it was a monastic thing. Then about 1400 modern wine gets invented, or something. – 11:47 PM GMT
@LeavittAlone but I think the UK booze you are wondering about was mostly fortified, maybe to increase shipping life from Portugal. – 11:47 PM GMT
@LeavittAlone so somewhere in there someone invents distilled booze too. – 11:48 PM GMT
