<Tongue-so-far-in-cheek-it's-sticking-out-my-ear>Yes! Even the slashiest, most utterly tasteless, disgusting, and out-of-character K/S zine is included in "the entire Star Trek universe!</Tongue-so-far-in-cheek-it's-sticking-out-my-ear>
Unless you've colored every page of every Star Trek coloring book ever published - by hand, on the physical pages - what are you even doing?
^ I like the way you think.
I keep up with the shows, but not the same way I used to. Now I wait for the DVD set to come out so both Discovery and Picard are a year behind for me. I suppose I would keep up with the movies if there were any. I've never been big on video games. I was not keeping up with the comics until I found the website "comics online" which has thousands of old issues going back to the 1930s. I've been reading that alot during lockdown, playing catch-up with Star Trek and Star Wars, as well as reading old Superman and Batman comics published decades before I was born.
I'm still a big reader of the novels, but between the price hike of the trade paperback change, and my becoming a homeowner four years ago, with all the financial responsibilities that entails, my collecting there is about a year and a half to two years behind.

Let's not forget the Star Trek Cooking Manual by Mary Ann Piccard (with 2 "c"s).
And that one doesn't count unless you've made all the recipes!
And worked the puzzle in the block of FORTRAN source code given in the introduction!
Really though, even if I could figure out how I'd have the time to experience a reasonable portion of the ST Universe beyond the tv series, films and novels I've read...and I suspect I'd find a lot of the novels I haven't read to be not to my tastes...to devote that amount of time solely to Star Trek would almost certainly require taking time away from other things I enjoy and consider worth experiencing as well.
So do we not have a winner here?
You actually watched every episode up to this week’s Discovery? Read every book up to To Lose the Earth? And read every comic up to the first issue of Seven’s Reckoning?
It seems to have played every game is impossible unless a person has been doing it all along, so to have watched and read everything seems like the real goal.
Have you done it, @dstyer?

In June 2002, I had seen and read everything except a few of the YA "Academy" novels and a few Gold Key comics. Then I moved jobs... and lost my three-hour daily commute and my precious reading time.
I don't have much patience for Trek games, although I did enjoy aspects of "The Kobayashi Alternative" and have many FASA, Last Unicorn and Modiphius guidebooks.
They can't. They are unauthorised and sometimes limited to 100 copies (such as each of my own publications) or less.

You're not a Trekkie unless you've found the Enterprise-D bridge in Duke Nukem 3D
Watched all episodes up to Discovery's "Scavengers"? - Check
Read every book up to "To Lose the Earth" - Check
Read all the comics up to "Seven's Reckoning" Issue 1 - Almost.... I usually save the comic miniseries until all the issues are out and binge-read the set.
....close enough?
4/10 should've gotten into Star Wars instead.
Jk couldn't resist. I've only done live action, animated, about 400 novels and most of the comics on that DVD from the 2000's. And I've really enjoyed it, but as I've aged my need to be a completionist has waned a lot.

That's a Winner, in my book.
You must be a great resource for Memory Beta, in theory.
