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.

What is your favorite archer build?

I had an investigator with medic and eldritch archer archetypes. Basically going for one huge hit per round with strategic strike and enchanting arrow damage, with higher hit chance because if my devise a stratagem roll is bad i can just chose to attack someone else and have another attempt at getting a good roll. If i used pursue a lead on the target i could even use an eldritch shot and strategic strike because devise a stratagem is free in that case. And if there is no other target i have my battle medicine. It was also a useful character for out of combat healing, although that is kind of besides the focus of the post.

Which game do I get that's under 20GB?

I have been playing Time Snatcher Handy recently, a roguelike centered around a time-stop mechanic, which only uses 44 MB. It is pretty good. Going through my steam library from the lowest up, here are the others i would recommend, stopping at one GB, because most of my games are under 20 GB and i tend to be relatively selective with what games i get so i consider most of them good also:

  • TIS-100 (80 MB), programming puzzle game by Zachtronics
  • Islanders (150 MB), minimalist city builder
  • Enter the Gungeon (346 MB), bullet-hell roguelike
  • Streets of Rogue (417 MB), roguelike which emphasizes having multiple possible approaches for how to get any given objective
  • Opus Magnum (493 MB), another Zachtronics programming puzzle game
  • Vault of the Void (554 MB), roguelike deckbuilder (one of my most played games, especially recommended)
  • Backpack Hero (616 MB), roguelike focused on maximizing adjacency bonuses on your inventory grid
  • Urbek City Builder (685 MB), city builder (obviously)
  • Slipways (735 MB), a game about optimizing trade routes between planets
  • Cassette Beasts (1 GB), similar to Pokemon, with the main differences being that you turn into the monsters instead of summoning them, type advantage/disadvantage giving unique status effects rather than just changing damage and battles generally being 2v2 instead of 1v1
