Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.
Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride

What the fuck is wrong with people? The whole world has gone insane.
Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.
I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.
I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.
Edit: fixed a word
I'd only ever had iPhones until about four years ago. Switching to Android wasn't a big deal for me since I was already using Signal to communicate with the three human beings with whom I regularly exchange text messages. I've probably opened the message app twice since the switch.
By chance I ran across a relevant video earlier today. Shopping should be fun! https://youtu.be/5kRLCKH6bA8?si=4E8KEGQhfJv8f8jZ
I'm still bummed that Bitbucket is going cloud-only. We've been using it on-premises for years and it has been lovely. Atlassian must be concerned that their customers won't follow them into the cloud bc they just sent out a customer survey (about two years two late).
You said it.
Lock out, tag out. Poor bastard.
Oh yes.
Christine is so adorable. I want to keep her safe. Tbh the whole damn SNW crew is adorable.
It didn't need sequels or a TV show, and it darn sure doesn't need a reboot. No thanks, Hank.
These days, for me the absolute minimum is full controller support due to the wife acceptance factor. She loved Dragon Age Inquisition so we tried to play Origins a couple years ago, and even though I'd cloned the displays, me sitting behind her at my computer instead of next to her on the couch was a deal breaker.
There are other plusses in terms of WAF, full voice narration and a good story being chief among them. There's a reason the only soulslike I've ever really played is Fallen Order. ๐
For me playing alone (which I almost never do anymore), one example I can think of is trying to go back to Dark Age of Camelot after playing WoW for a while. That was...painful.
