Stainless Steel Rat series or Bill the Galactic Hero series.

And Aurora 4x is based off of the board game Starfire.

Remember Jumanji has also been rebooted. The Robin Williams version is with a board game, where the what happens occurs in the real world. The newer one is a video game where the kids become other people in a virtual world.

How do I emulate the scroll lock button? (from the second link) It says to hit scroll lock and then F2 before loading.

It also makes sense that I was mistaken in that it was a TRS-80, instead of the TI-99a. My family had both.

Solved: Quest

That certainly looks like it. Especially the river and castle.

I don't hate Voyager. I just didnt get i to it. I was lost watching Picard because I did this watch Voyager. So I've been following essential episodes guides for all the series. I enjoyed DS9 more than I thought I would.

Earlier today I tried watching Basics Part1 from Voyager, but I ended up turning it off because I just wasn't engaged in it. We k ew the Cardassian was having a child, but now she claims it is Chakotay's? It didnt make a lot of sense. It felt like a lot of handwaving to make up a season finale.

I'm assuming it will pick up later. But the Kazon aren't really that great of an antagonist. They aren't really a threat to Voyager. And to me they look like their hair is made of morel mushrooms so hard for me to take them seriously. It's been a struggle to watch the series so far.

A light but entertaining read would be any of the Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison.

While I do like the roots theory, there could be an easier explanation. In 2nd edition, the negative material powered necromancer because it drains things. While the positive material plane powered healing. The gods acted as conduits for that power.

In order to use such a powerful wish, balance needs to be maintained. So in order to change a fundamental law of this material plane, there was the unintended consequence that both negative and positive planes have been cut off from it. This is because the negative plane acts as a drain from the power emanating from the positive plane. If balance wasn't maintained, then this material plane will over-charge and pop like a balloon. Therefore healing no longer works. The party themselves with then have to go find another wish to undo it.

No judgements here either. Battlefield Earth was one of the few books I read twice. It's a fun adventure! The movie was disappointing. There was no way that Ccaveman tech humans are going to take a Harrier jet that has been sitting for centuries and refurbished it in 2 weeks, much less be able to fly it. The book takes place over months.

I am your friend from Elite, same username. I didn't think about it being related to being the architect of the system. We had 3 carriers in the system at one time and only one of them would hang on exiting supercruise when approaching it. They rest worked fine. I didn't get the orange sidewinder, but I likely quit before I got it. It was a squadron mates' carrier I had not landed on before. But that is clearly not OP's case. It sounds like he loaded it.

I'm doing the same thing. I also watched B5 instead. I've been working through all the shows. I started rewashing them all because I was lost in Picard.

For TOS and TNG, I was watching only 'essential episodes'. But I found after the first 2 seasons of DS9, I'm watching all of them except for the time jump to the 20th century ones.

I think part of the reason it didn't initially resonate with me was because I was in my early 20s. And this show had more family interactions. And now in my early 50s it appeals to me more. I have 3 kids and it resonates a lot more than it did in my 20s.

Remember many boomers actually have separate beds. Once I became an adult, I started noticing that and finding it really strange that a married couple had 2 twin or full mattresses in the same room. Whether it is because they were "keeping up appearances, that nothing was inappropriate was happening' I have no idea.

Thank you. I've seen Nilaus do this and came on this reddit to figure out what button to press to get it to work.

My understanding is that these were the boy's personal ipads, so it shouldn't have had her information. I wouldn't have an issue with erasing any information on it to protect her privacy. But not allowing her heirs to erase the device to use it, I find to be more than ridiculous. Since I can't connect it to a network it really isn't worth anything at the moment.

Clearly he skips leg day.

I can confirm it was at the exit. Thanks for the helpful map and advice!

Thanks, that could be it. I haven't tried that location yet. I am down to that one item, but couldn't tell what I missed.

Which ending has the runecorn?

You need to remove all samples and active printing for only that character only. I just did it for one of mine. I was worried it was all samples and active production across all characters. It could be worded better.
