Is it this episode not just "elementary" but good? We have good news for you! In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - Next Generation Episode "Elementary Dear Data," (s2e3). We get our first official holodeck adventure and everyone is excited to be LARPing, except maybe Worf. Join Stef and Chris as they discuss why they enjoy this episode so much!

The story so far: Trapped underground in a magical molehole video store for over a year, our boys are missing what they used to have...This week, we reminisce about our old Magic Box that got swept away in a tornado, so we use a magical mole scroll to try summon it back. But it doesn't go to plan. We learn a bit more about MoleMan's history, but end up having to watch the SOV fantasy/sword-and-sorcery LARPing movie Way Bad Stone! Will we be wrapped up into the Ren Faire goodness of this charming film, or will we get distracted talking about every-occasion costumes and the butt-goosing soldier behind enemy lines? And why do we have to fill Eric in about the last 35 minutes of the movie?! Join us and find out!Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday. New episodes every Monday.

This episode originally broadcast on July 17, 2025. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/07/binary-system-podcast-466-station-eleven-lower-decks-superman-and-the-spectacular-failure-of-the-star-wars-hotel/It's a bonus-sized (and spoileriffic!) episode this week because we've got a lot to go over. Another episode of Station Eleven of course, with gorgeous cinematography, excellent music, and a lot of questions: are the child-bombing psychos from the Museum, the Prophet, or the Red Bandanas? (Or all three, we have no idea who's side anybody is on.) Does the Conductor have cancer, because in TV land bald = cancer but we know in the real world bald = chemotherapy and there's probably not a lot of chemo in the apocalypse. And finally, Alex, come on, we know you're up to something, please don't be evil?Next up on the season 4 finale of Lower Decks, remember last week where we wondered if one storyline was a very deep pull from Star Trek the Next Generation? Turns out yes it was a very deep pull from Star Trek the Next Generation. One that, at the time, made us feel really bad so it's no surprise we squashed the memory. But this episode makes up for a lot of that.And after that, surprise of all surprises, Elizabeth went to see the new Superman movie while it was still in the theater. Short version: she really liked it, though it wasn't quite as good as that trailer we loved. But that's an awfully high bar to hit. However Nathan Fillion is all kinds of awesome, the end.And finally, Kathryn watched the first hour of the Hugo-nominated "The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel." Turns out there are many things to love about Disney's short-lived luxury LARPing experience, but they've got an emergency plan that we DO NOT LIKE, and could possibly be illegal, but Disney gonna Disney.This week's outro is a clip from House Banger Music by YuraSoop.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

A reviewer once said Scout Boxall's mullet wouldn't look out of place at the Western Bulldogs. Scout became a Bulldogs fan shortly thereafter. Scout is a comedian, writer, radio host, former roller derby umpire, F1-head, LARPer, Western Bulldogs Reddit lurker and a disciple in the church of Sam Darcy.

Today we're diving into one of the more heated debates in the firearms and training community — Should civilians be training in CQB? Close Quarters Battle. Is it a useful skill, a fantasy-driven distraction, or something in between? If you've spent time in the training world, you've probably heard both extremes: "Civilians have no business learning room clearing" — or — "CQB is essential to defending your home and loved ones." So which is it?I'll lay out both sides of the argument, share my own view, and maybe challenge a few assumptions along the way. Whether you're military, law enforcement, or a civilian shooter, there's something in here for you. Support the showGet Members Only Content when you upgrade to a premium membership on our Substack page.

I am really not looking forward to all the melodramatic victim-LARPing if and when Iran kills US military personnel stationed in west Asia. The US is the only nation on earth that can rival Israel in its ability to play the victim when the ball they've thrown at the wall bounces back. Reading by Tim Foley.

We get together the first Saturday of the month and everybody is really cool.”“I don't know, I mean it's one thing to play around a table, but I'm not sure about getting all dressed up and acting it out.”“It's not like that. Dress however you want; nobody judges you and everybody is chill.”“Fine, I'll give it a try”That was the recruiting pitch I got for my first ever LARP. Live Action Roleplaying. The guy who was helping run the events was really enthusiastic and he convinced me to give it a try. I grabbed a rulebook, put together a character, got it approved, and then showed up for my first ever LARP.Now I am sure most LARPs out there could easily be described the way that guy pitched his LARP to me. Today, having the experience I have in a wide variety of games and conventions I know that most people will be welcoming, you will fit right in and I don't doubt you will have a great time.Not so much for my first one.You see it was a Vampire the Masquerade game and it was a crappy experience.The costume you wore did matter, everyone was clickier then a spoken word club on meth. And nobody was chill.That experience put me off LARPing for a long time, but over the years I have learned that I just had a bad first experience. LARPing has a lot going for it and a lot of permutations out there that might not seem like LARPing, but are.On this episode Mike, Christina and our special guest, Jen will be talking LARPing. What it means to LARP, what types of LARPs are out there and how to take advantage of this version of our great hobby.Mike, have you done a lot of LARPing?[Kick to Mike]How about you Christina, are you a LARP enthusiast?[Kick to Christina]Jen, You are the subject matter expert.

**On Tuesday evening, C. Derick Varn will join us AGAIN for Macro ‘n Chill, our weekly community gathering. While listening to this episode, we will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion about Part Two. June 17th, 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Click HERE to register The second half of Steve's conversation with Derick Varn goes into the history of the socialist movement from the 1960s to the present. Derick traces some of the current factionalism back to the ideological battles between Trotsky and Stalin covered in Part One of this series. This includes the debates on ‘socialism in one country' versus international socialism. He covers further divisions within Trotskyism, the Red Scare's successful suppression of the CPUSA, and the formation of the Black Panthers. He describes the rise of Maoism, its influence on student movements in the West, and further ideological splits. Steve and Derick emphasize that historical developments are always connected to the material conditions of their time. Even the Bernie Sanders movement. They talk of the struggles intrinsic to past and present socialist organizations and reflect on the modern implications of these ideologies and the challenges of organizing under current capitalist conditions. “In the ‘Eighteenth Brumaire,' Marx talks about how all great revolutions play-act a revolutionary moment of the past. So, for him... he talked about the English Civil War and the Bible, and the French Revolution, and the Roman Empire.  “We are stuck LARPing the past because we don't know what the future is.” C. Derick Varn is a poet, teacher, and political theorist. He is the host of Varn Vlog. He was a reader at Zer0 books from 2015 to 2021. He spent most of the 2010s outside the U.S. in the Republic of Korea, Mexico, and Egypt.

Live Action Role Playing (LARPing) is a type of role-playing game where participants physically embody their characters. Unlike tabletop role-playing games, players act out their characters' actions and interact with each other while pursuing goals in a fictional setting, which is represented by real-world environments.

One major challenge is that Zionists benefit from abusing Palestinians and exerting influence in western governments, and they also benefit from people opposing these things - because it can be used to feed their victim-LARPing "antisemitism" narrative. Reading by Tim Foley.

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 8 to 13 This week on Unwise Girls... eh? Who are you? Sorry, but I don't remember petty things like names or faces... it's all about vibes for me. This week, the vibe is pretty frickin' positive on the book - partially because we've been reading even better books at the same time. We discuss cyclops flesh, lesbian stereotypes, shitty kids who you just gotta love, predatory god maneuvers, LARPing, and how three people can have a strong sort of relationship and how that can have some sort of name that nobody is exactly sure of.

Activist and author Yves Engler has been jailed by Montreal police for criticizing media figure Dahlia Kurtz and her support for Israeli atrocities in Gaza, after Kurtz said Engler's comments made her feel “afraid for my safety”. After Engler wrote about the charges against him, he reported that he was subsequently charged for “harassing the police” by drawing public attention to his case. It's fascinating how everyone who supports Israel always collapses into playing the victim at the earliest opportunity—even western police forces tasked with persecuting Israel's critics. Israel models this victim-LARPing behavior, and its entire goon squad follows its example. Reading by Tim Foley.

The Ramblin Gambler uses a questions segment to demonstrate that in some ways, Casino Kombat is a Live Action Role Playing Game (6:26)!

What if “The Law of Attraction” was only for Aryans? Just in time for the holidays, Brad is back to let you know that Nazi-occult societies are alive and flourishing. Namely, a group claiming to be the direct genetic descendants of the “historical” Vril Society, the supposed Nazi-era metaphysical group that counted Hitler among its ranks. This episode has esoteric racism, templar LARPing, goddess rituals, hollow earth super Aryans, hairstyle discourse, a Ford Mustang obsession, and even starseeds. It's a true QAA Xmas miracle. We'll attempt to answer: How much of the WWII occult history is real? What's the real history of the Sonnenrad symbol? Are these contemporary groups just conspiratorial LARPers with too much time and money (and a serious hair fetish), or something much more sinister? And finally, did we really need to hear that bit of high school-era Brad lore? Stick around for Professor Julian Strube of the University of Göttingen - a man who has spent the best years of his life researching these groups - as he helps us untangle this dense web of Nazi occult history, and how we've gotten to this current hell.

An Episode with Ye Olde Charm!Here's what's to come in this episode: * In this episode, Matt and Angela dive into why Renaissance Faires feel innately autistic and explore how the art of LARPing offers a unique twist on masking—where choosing your own character and setting clear expectations can actually work for autistic folks.* Matt and Angela dive into how events like Ren Faires and concerts—though they might seem like sensory overload for autistic folks—can actually be a sensory delight, offering the freedom to "choose your own adventure" and control the level of sensory input.* Additionally, Renaissance Faires and historical reenactments tap into the concept of stimming by recreating the same rituals and experiences in a consistent, familiar way over and over again.* Our hosts explore why Renaissance Fests offer autistic folks a safe space to unmask, stim, embrace echolalia or non-speaking communication (whatever feels right!), set their own structure and rules, build careers around their special interests, and truly let their authentic selves shine.“If you are unhappy in your job and you have a special interest, I promise you there is some way to make that into a career. God knows what way, but there is a way.” - Angela“It's the difference between being in the shower and being hit by a water gun. Because the water gun might be even less water than you're getting in the shower, but you choose the time, you choose the place, you choose the intensity, you choose the temperature. ” - Matt“Before the word ‘autism' was ever uttered, you knew what kind of person would go out to the Gettysburg battlefield and dress up and have prop replicas and all these genuine replicas and have these, you know, historically accurate costumes they made themselves.” - AngelaDid you notice the connection between Renaissance Faires and the autistic experience?
