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

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

I'm sorry, it happened to me, so I had to continue the cycle of abuse.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to tell your story so that people remember how @hades@lemm.ee went out.

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.

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

My god

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

They were flawed, self-involved, and generally weird, but after watching The US vs John Lennon, I couldn't help but sympathize because they just seemed like a couple of naive kids.

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!

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!

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.

My spirit animal

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.

Are there more games out there or something?

FromSoft games are my absolute favorite. Seeing myself getting better and mastering a challenge is peak fun to me.

I think the type of game really makes a difference. Games with fetch quests, a laundry list of waypoints on a map, and tons of bland cutscenes in between simple gameplay put me to sleep now.

Challenging games keep me better occupied, because it's fun to be solving a puzzle of some sort (even if that puzzle is "how to approach this boss"). Strategy and tactics are consistently fun for me too.

Makes me wonder if they planned it or if mom or dad is artsy and just had a black and white mushroom photo lying around.
