People have been saying "Nintendo should release their games for Platform That I Like" for decades. Pretty sure they're content with doing what they're been doing.

 

Upfront: the character animation is jank and I have no clue why that was considered acceptable given the overall effort that went into making things look pretty.

I went in with cautious optimism, because it's Netflix and they have a habit of butchering things. Not the case this time. It's 100% a Gundam show, alt-UC or no. My spouse was reluctant to start it tonight because she was beat after work and wasn't sure she was gonna be able to do more than one episode. After said one episode: "I'm awake." And so we finished it.

And now I want all those Zaku kits. Damn.

It's neck and neck.

My car still has one of these, and I just happened to use it yesterday when the battery on my Bluetooth adapter died. Yes, my car is old. Given the state of new cars today, I think I'm gonna keep it as long as I can.

I have two Vizio panels, a 2017 and a 2023. Neither are connected to my network. The 2017 got a couple of firmware updates via wired connection in the first year but I nixed that after an update nearly bricked it. The 2023 will turn itself back on for a few seconds occasionally (just the electronics, not the panel)... possibly looking for an open network but I have no way to verify. Neither complain about a lack of connection unless I accidentally select their streaming input.

Is Dan Quayle available to weigh in?

If they're like my nephew, the "manosphere" gives them easy answers as to why everything seems to suck.

That does not encrypt your storage.

It's encrypted by default.

Why do that when lying and grifting is cheaper?

Ya know, when you put it like that, it adds a whole other layer of fuckedupedness on the rotten lasagna of history.

I've eaten a few cougars in my time and gotta say, taste varies wildly depending on lifestyle and hygiene.

It took 14 years, but I finally got my spouse into Trek a while back with TNG. We are in the process of wrapping up season 6, and the question of where to go next has come up several times. The two obvious next steps:

  • TNG movies
  • DS9

And even then, there's chronology/production order. All the movies, then DS9? DS9, then the movies? Mix the movies into DS9? (Yes, I do realize that we "should" be mixing TNG and DS9 at this point if I'm going to bring chronology into the mix lol.)

But I'm still very much interested in getting her to watch TOS, if nothing else than for the base of knowledge. IMO it still holds up, save for some societal byproducts of its time. And love it or hate it, the remaster made going back a lot more palatable for people who might otherwise struggle to enjoy 60s effects. And from there it would be either TAS (which I have but haven't seen yet) or the movies... which flows nicely into Generations. As a bonus, all of this has been released on Blu-ray and is sitting on my shelf, and doesn't require paying for official SD versions of DS9 etc. (or setting up for viewing by unofficial means).

As for me, I never finished DS9 or Voyager... by the time the latter came out I was in high school and basically stopped having time to watch tv on a broadcaster's schedule. And then I was working nights by the time Enterprise came out... and then didn't start any of the newer shows because I wasn't caught up. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ (So no spoilers please, same with opinions on the newer shows. It's been beat to death lol.)

tl;dr Keep on trucking or swing by the old haunts first?
