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!

The thing is, driving a forklift is actually fun, with the steering at the back and levers to move the forks etc, so I can imagine competing with them would be great … maybe the watching isn’t so compelling though

He gets found out when, after an emergency where he uses a forklift to save a puppy, instead of embracing the puppy in a manly manner he tries to sneak away to keep his identity secret

I’m not even mad, that’s impressive!

After passing my certification with ease, my instructor pointed out that women generally make better forklift drivers … so, this would make sense in an animé about the cut-and-thrust world of competitive forklift driving … which is also a thing BTW.

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.

Yeah, that was just what the organisers called it I guess.

I’m aware of that now, but at the time didn’t know anything about it … it was being done in a community space where there was a bar and plenty of space for activities.

A friend of a friend once talked me into going to a munch, where some scenes were going to be done. I’m interested in seeing new things and try to be open to having my horizons broadened, so I figured why not?

I have to say, not only did I find it intensely boring, it was also about as much of a turn-off as I can imagine any in-person experience being.

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”

A pity, Desperados 3 is an absolutely rockin’ game

Cool, thanks :-)

In the new year will you be moving on to more pressing matters?

Do you know if Retroarch has controller support?
