"No, you should totally go on this one, captain. Take the XO too. We'll be fine. We're all far too busy, uh, reversing the polarity of the deflector dish, and we definitely deleted the template for Romulan ale from the replicators for good this time. Also the transporter is on the fritz so you should probably take a shuttle, and then stay down there and see the sights to make it worth it."

i think a lot of great points have been made in this thread, but it's also worth saying- you can't be wrong about what you do and don't dig!

Alan Stivell does some incredible fusion of rock and Celtic folk. i usually avoid the term "Celtic" for music because some people find it dismissive to lump multiple musical traditions together like that, but he very deliberately draws from most (all?) of the musical traditions that would fall under that umbrella. i highly recommend the E Dulenn and Á L'Olympia live albums

i would recon this is true more often than not for attempts at 1:1 ports. glitches are more often introduced than fixed in the porting process, so if it isn't deliberately a remaster or offers extra content, you're probably better off with the original in an emulator. if you're interested in mods, it's also worth thinking about where the reverse engineering efforts have been focused- a lot of native PC ports have been picked apart and put back together with bugfixes and new content after the fact

sonic adventure is an example of all of the above. if you want the absolute worst version possible, just buy it off steam. if you want the best version possible, buy it off steam and mod the shit out of it. fan efforts to fix an abysmal port of a port ended up creating an experience that arguably surpasses the original before even getting into all the extra bells and whistles you can mod in

fan ports are also increasingly becoming a thing, so i guess the moral of the story is this: as far as official offerings go, emulation is probably going to be better than a native port, but if a game has enough enthusiastic hackers, then they may have frankensteined something even better together

10-13 not including the additional 8 million Tectoy sales, which together meets or exceeds the Saturn and Dreamcast sales combined (with the former outselling the latter)

i have a 2600. warlords and circus atari are awedome with the paddle controllers. that seems to be the one of if not the oldest answer showing up in this thread, but i'd love to own a coleco telstar one day. the wood grain aesthetic is so cool, i wish it stuck around longer!

Sega’s only console success was Mega Drive/Genesis.

i mean that's really only true in the northwest. the master system was huge in south america and the saturn was a bigger success than the mega drive was in japan

I've had a few old cars where you had to turn off the AC in order to accelerate fast enough to use a highway on-ramp. presumably if you get a lemon of a starship off craigslist, you need to disable life support to go to warp

mystery solved, thank you!

i'm honestly a little suprised this hasn't happened sooner. there were plenty of computers with similar hardware at the time with CP/M or DOS variants, and the unix-like fuzix was originally developed for the z80 and i think has a 6502 port. that's not meant as a knock on decrayzo though- either way this is cool as shit

i'm curious what the culture around the famicom and FDS as computers was in japan. it was wildly popular but it never seems to come up in discussions of other 80s JP computers, so i wonder if the reason it never got a DOS straight from nintendo was because everyone including them saw it as more of a console than a computer despite the name. or maybe that's just a westerner's bias talking and japanese folks really do consider it as a contemporary of the PC-88 instead of the SMS

which of course is a distraction from the fact the main show serves the same purpose in the real world!

of course the movie franchise about killing space nazis famously had no woke agenda whatsoever until they gave a woman a laser sword

does that have a free tier or only paid plans

what antivirus are the cool kids using these days? i feel like whenever i finally settle on one it ends up embroiled in this or that scandal

it suprises me that this sentiment isn't more common. i don't hate the other movies, but they're more movies with the Trek characters and world than they are Star Trek in a movie format. with it's allegorical but ultimately hopeful story, VI really did feel like Star Trek proper, just with a bigger budget and longer runtime. The Motion Picture had the same spirit but loses points for just bolting 2001 and the Nomad probe episode together, and I'd like to think that Into Darkness could have been a modern-at-the-time Undiscovered Country if they didn't spend the whole runtime failing to be a modern Wrath of Khan

the duct tape and WD-40 of the SGC. need something in motion to stop? blast door. need something stationary to start moving? C4 baby

i REALLY wish we could get a proper ending to Atlantis. i know filming season six tomorrow ain't gonna happen but they could always do an animated movie with as many of the original cast they can back doing voiceovers. B5 did that and had an excuse plot jumping through space and time to basically just serve fanservice on a dish for the whole runtime*, and a few of the plots laid out for S6 had timespace shenanigans, so put that and Turn of Events in a blender. maybe they go back in time to when Destiny was in the milky way or pegasus and end up needing to use to beat the genii- filling the role of the asuran weapon- and they leave something behind there that could help the modern one get home, making this in essence a double finale

would i rather something far less rushed? for sure. but between actors aging and amazon less likely to spring big bucks for a continuation of a long since cancelled spinoff versus a reboot of the original, that might be one of the only ways to go. then again i'd be happy with a book series too, i just need closure damnit!

good of you to include pike's hair as a complaint, that way we know who to space

that's just me playing Zork
