Adjacent to the bridge. Close enough.

It was cool how they killed off Kirk though. He died as he lived; on the bridge!

Lower decks is the only star trek my kids give a damn about, we've watched every season together. The only reason they even considered watching SNW is cause they knew Mariner and Boimler were in the episode.

I'm going to really miss it.

Canon is a beautiful lady and we love her.

Smart watches really feel like the palm pilots/pdas of this generation.

Wow. What a question. Its hard for me not to be dismissive.

I'm going to have to go with Mario 64 by a country mile.

Appreciate the thought experiment though.

I love old consoles... but old media (carts, cds/dvds) not so much. Flashcarts have been a revelation for me. I'm happy to help out the collectors out there by lowering the demand for original cartridges for my NES or gameboys.

And honestly its a much purer and more fun experience than an everything emulator where you spend most of your time setting it up and then deciding which game of all the games ever created you feel like playing right now. But I do also enjoy setting up emulator devices be they handheld or set top, and playing on them. I'm not a snob, it's all good stuff and its a great time no matter what your choice, tbh.

I wish I had known about this game back in the 90s. What a sleeper hit. Easily in the top ten Gameboy games imo.

I always just figured it was a port of the arcade game. Imagine my shock after the first few levels it turns into its own amazing game with some zany puzzle platformer mechanics.

I ended up buying the cart because it was just too good not to have a copy of.

Hardly retro hardware but now with the new version coming out it's definitely obsolete. Even so I'm still lovin my rp2+. Even my RP3+ hasn't been able to replace it.

Its a great form factor, is capable of emulating a bunch of decent systems, and functions as a general purpose android device.

FF7 is a game I never played back in the day even though the commercials are still burned into my brain.

While I'm not a huge Final Fantasy guy, I figured I owed it to myself to try and make my way through it. The prerendered scenery mixed with cool stylized polygonal characters is great.

Hope everyone is taking their daily recommended dose of pointless nostalgia gaming ;)
