I loved the Gameboy game by a similar name but never tried any other versions, figuring it wouldn’t translate well. Sounds like I was right.

To this day, the only thing that has scratched my swinging itch since I was that young kid has been the insomniac Spiderman games.

Haha! Roasted!

Haven’t gotten back around to the Ultimate Alliance games yet, but I recently picked up the XMen Legends games that preceed them on the OG Xbox.

Still quite a bit of fun.

I actually found and picked up Midnight Sons when I was looking on the PS store to see if those games had been ported.

I love Midnight Sons. It’s very similar in a lot of ways but the gameplay is quite different. I’m told it’s like XCom games by the same company, but I’ve never played that.

Interacting with your team back at base is definitely bigger than in XMen legends, and for some gamers it was too much… a bit of ‘friendship simulator’ to it to increase team chemistry etc.

The gameplay is card based. I recommend looking up a video if curious. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it really love it. Count me as one of them.

His name was Marauder Shields…

Enterprise - 56% critics 79% fans.

Critics must not understand Shran.

I saw a trailer the other day. It’s real.

Unless you were early eighties baby and introduced to BBS at a remarkably young age like me. Oregon Trail generation FTW.

Well, presumably more than a few dozen light years away. A few dozen lightyears is nothing on a cosmic scale.

Great times!

Introducing my daughter to Trek this year, just wrapped up S4 of DS9 a few weeks ago and S3 of Voyager the week after.

We have a few more months of golden age Trek… soaking it in.

Nah, that’s more related to the episode named ‘Lower Decks’ I think.

Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I’d heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.

Mayo clinic says yes though.

People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.

Ah, I could see that. It can be read either way, but I think the author intended it to be read this way. ‘Wow!’ As the reaction to the father’s statement that he won’t have to work if he does something he loves.

Yes how is the text supposed to for?

Wife and I watched through it for the first time last month.

We watched it for the second time last month as well.

Actually, we started our third watch last night.

Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.

Red rocket, standing by.

"What is grief if not love perservering?’

Thank you. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.

Had to say goodbye to my cat this weekend.

The past month or so, he’d become very demanding for attention in the middle of the day, crawling all over the desk and nibbling at my hands if they were typing or using the mouse rather than loving on him.

Every day at almost the same time. And I gave him what he wanted every time.

My Monday would certainly be better if he was still doing it.
