It's worth checking out Metropolis Street Racer and F355 Challenge if you're into driving games. Also Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX was really nicely done.

I loved my Dreamcast, such a pity it couldn't be developed further

Awesome, thank you so much!

Don't be sorry for your reply being long, it was clearly well thought out and considered. I agree on all the points you've made ... perhaps the majority of people here didn't like Picard 1 & 2 because it wasn't repeating the type of story telling that Star Trek has typically given, but was a whole new thing. People, generally, don't like change and I think in the current world there's comfort to be had in the "monster of the week" style 90s shows.

Not enough deciduous trees for that!

Start with series 3, that's where it was up to speed and you don't miss much

Mmm, I know exactly what you mean. I'm tired of limp lead characters who just tick the boxes of a target demographic to self-insert into.

The Expanse suffered a bit from that (the main guy had all the magnetism of limp celery) but was saved because every single other character was genuinely interesting. Farscape had a much smaller cast, so there was no escape!

Well, 1 and 2 both dealt with deep themes of grief and generational trauma ... I appreciated that they tried to write a story with a deep meaning to it, even if it didn't 100% work it was better than a lot of the recent things I've watched

The thing I liked with 1 and 2 was that they both tried to tackle big ideas of past trauma, even if it didn't come out well the big thinking was in there while a lot of recent things I've watched has felt skin deep at best

Well, I'm glad it wasn't just me, lol ... I figured some people must have enjoyed it otherwise they'd have left it at one season!

If this thread is anything to go by, me and my other half were the only people on the planet that actually enjoyed Picard S1 and 2, and didn't like S3 as much.

In that spirit, if a film is made I look forward to enjoying it even if I'm the only one.

They did do a beginner's guide to Mastodon after Musk infested Twitter, but it does seem like they don't consider Lemmy or Mastodon to be "serious"

Cool, thanks :-)
