It’s like reading a news article and seeing horribly constructed sentences and typos. Like, this is your main job! I know there are a lot of English majors out there who would love to find work.

It was like a teenager wrote the dialogue.

In the US, there was a thing called the “Presidential Fitness Test” that kids had to do in P.E. (not sure if it’s still a thing).

Some people are so dedicated to their hobbies and I love seeing it.

An extended family member of mine hosted a reunion at his house years ago, and he apparently lived in a neighborhood where many people have small airplane hangars attached to their houses instead of a normal garage. It was nuts. You’re just walking through a normal-looking house in a normal-looking suburban neighborhood, go through what would otherwise be a garage door, and suddenly you’re in a big hangar.

Almost 60 years worth at this point. Hope you enjoy the journey!

What a great episode though. I just finished a rewatch of TOS a few weeks ago, and I love it so much.

Yeah, I guess it must be instance dependent to view it. And even then, it’s also probably limited by what posts/comments are visible to the viewer based on federation.

Oh no, this is going to get you thrown in Lemmy jail. We’ll remember to write to you.

I’m sorry, Tux! It was a moment of weakness and won’t happen again!

Exactly! And don’t get me wrong, there are a ton of great indie 2d games out there now, but back in the SNES days, these were THE devs. You can tell the difference in polish from having been made by the biggest and best studios.

Are there more games out there or something?

@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

Oh yeah, it all started with the arcades. There was a whole culture attached to it, and they were very popular.

I think it’s fascinating to learn about how the developers figured out how to do things back then, the limitations, scaling/distribution, and then the rapid arms race between customers and devs to make games harder and harder to beat. There was an excellent documentary about this on Netflix a few years ago, but I can’t remember the name off the top of my head.

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!

It’s just a common shitpost format out there that’s playing off of those unironic religious posts that you might see on FB or something. I see good/bad get flipped back and forth as part of the joke.
