If your only issue is that modern games suck, rather than A) Being too exhausted after work, B) Having social media-induced attention deficit, C) Being overwhelmed with other responsibilities or anxiety, or D) Simply just not having enough time, you just have to find games that are actually good. Not AAA grindfests that aim at keeping you glued to the screen getting collectibles for 80 hours, but games that are actually trying to provide you with a worthwhile experience.

Some suggestions: Subnautica, Outer Wilds (not The Outer Worlds), Disco Elysium, Pathologic 2 (mind you, this one is extremely stressful, it’s a masterpiece but most people will not enjoy it), The Forgotten City, Hades and Omori.

Outer Wilds (not The Outer Worlds)

Thank you for this distinction! I’ve heard people rave about Outer Wilds and all this time thought they were talking about Outer Worlds, which surprised me because I thought Outer Worlds was boring. Taking a look at gameplay now!

Not a 'murican so have no experience with firearms - what’s the danger here? Ricochets off the water?

daltotron,

There’s that, there’s also just that they don’t go in very far, doesn’t work very well.

DragonTypeWyvern,

That’s why Supply Side Jesus sells grenades

Criminals usually have history from early adulthood or even earlier and they aren’t that smart. When a good man really snaps and goes on a “mission”, he’s really hard to catch.

CADmonkey,

Katana314,

I bring this up anytime someone’s opposed to common sense anti-violence laws, by reason of “That’s not hard to circumvent, criminals just won’t do this dumb thing”.

Criminals are often dumb. If they were smart, they’d quite often find ways to get ahead legally, or at the very least in ways that don’t disturb others’ peace of living.

Bondrewd, to comicstrips in Laugh At You [Toonhole]

This comic strip gives me a vibe something like: Maybe Hitler just showed us an example how bad a genocide would be. Im sure he is glad we dialled it down after him.

She can be both. Sometimes the best character is the worst.

@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

I can see you still have a long way to go. It’s ok, I was like you once.

Tolookah,

I dunno, I can like a character and think they’re the worst. It’s likely that I like them because they’re the worst.

RizzRustbolt,

Like the Badmirals.

Knitwear, to risa in Best character in the entire franchise (OC)

I had a mug custom made with her on it so I’m not fit to judge.

Does it help that I had Guinan put on other side? idk

kaitco,

I’d like to see this mug, please.

Knitwear, (edited )

Why am I like this

imgur.com/a/avF7mLc

I guess they just seem like two Queens who stand outside it all and thus see things more clearly idk

kaitco,

That’s the most brilliant thing I’ve seen all day!

Granted, it’s only 9:15 here, but still!!

Karjapuskuri,

It’s a glorious mug

Corgana, (edited )
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Damnit Jean-Luc, show us the damn mug!

EDIT: they did 😄

I remember when it was a V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask. Times change, but laziness does not.

Lwaxana is a treat every single time she’s on screen. And sometimes when she isn’t.

Corgana,

The best cold intro is:

“Counselor Deanna Troi, personal log, stardate 44805.3. My mother is on board.”

Empty corridor with Picard peeking around the corner

We just watched that one last night after a week and a half of dealing with heavy shit that still isn’t done yet. Not really the episode I would have chosen to dip the toes back in after trauma, but that’s what was up next. Still a great ep.

ZoopZeZoop,

I hope you fair well on your trauma recovery journey.

MelodiousFunk,
@MelodiousFunk@startrek.website avatar

Much appreciated, friendly random internet person 🤝

Telodzrum,

The episode where she and Odo are trapped on the elevator is amazing.

kaitco,

I just watched that one for the first time the other day and it completely changed my mind on her. Just fantastic.

Corgana, (edited )
@Corgana@startrek.website avatar

Yesss, it’s such a shame that the other Odo-Lwaxana episode (the one where she gets married) is the B-plot of “The Muse”.

@flatplutosociety@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t love most Lwaxana episodes, but that one and Half a Life are wonderful.

db2, to memes in Flight sim people are on another level

All that hardware and then just… a chair.

AverageGoob,
@AverageGoob@lemmy.world avatar

Not to mention the Ikea table.

Venator,

They’re probably saving up to build a motion simulation rig.

Luci,
@Luci@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah you ain’t gonna be buying a plane if you’re using the cheapest office chair you found at a thrift store.

Unless this is to help save up for said plane.

Let’s leave the chair out of this!

ramble81,

And only one monitor too. Would have expected 3-4 to give a better view.

RaoulDook,

VR headset would be best view but then they couldn’t see all the fancy controls around them.

ramble81,

Even better if they could do it with AR. Then they could blend the controls with the view.

agitatedpotato, (edited )

I love ar in flight sims, moving your head to move the camera view across the huge amount of instruments is so nice when youve got hands on the stick and throtle and both feet in the rudder pedals.

fmstrat,

Depends on the sim. A good example would be Elite Dangerous. Buy the right HOTUS, put it in the right place, and when you don the headset, you see the controls you have.

PapaStevesy,

Yes, because, as we all know, real pilots don’t use chairs…

TonyTonyChopper,
@TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz avatar

They were making the point that it looks like a chair you would pick up for free on the side of the road as part of a multi thousand dollar flight sim

PapaStevesy,

They were making the point

That’s debatable.

Imgonnatrythis,

No neon trim and no cup holder even. Probably the kind of guy that wants to fight you if you call a flight Sim a game.

MystikIncarnate,

This is exactly what I was looking at. What the hell is with that?

Guy probably could have purchased an entire office worth of chairs with the money he spent on all that gear… He didn’t even bother to get one decent chair?

Landmammals,

That’s money he could have spent on more buttons and panels.

On my very first watch of TNG, I was so annoyed the first couple of times I saw Lwaxana or Q dominate an episode, but by the end of the series I was cheering every time they showed up!

The Q farewell of Piccard Season 2 is the only redeeming quality of that entire season.
