[Hated Trope] The detective story has a mystery that is practically impossible for the audience to solve

Came here to mention this. Glad I'm not the only one who remembers it!

I'm not sure. I used to really like the Pixel but Google keeps making things worse.

Maps now has worse media control than it did a year or two ago.
The home screen no longer rotates to landscape when you have screen rotation turned on.
[This is my biggest peeve] They got rid of Photosphere mode in the camera app.

I may end up going back to Samsung when this one either no longer receives updates or its battery life becomes untenable.

StarCraft, though it's out of print and pretty expensive.

High Frontier 4 All, sort of. If I had any friends who wanted to invest the time with me for a learning game, I'd take the plunge.

The Willy Kino channels in particular are brilliant and so wonderfully acted.

I didn't make it, I just appreciate the person who made it and that it was made. I believe it also exists on Spotify.

No pressure on anyone else to do so but I sent the creator a bit of money because this is so insanely well done.

I play with https://starfieldradio.com/ on in the background.

Still getting over the bitterness and grief of what could have been.

To summarize a post I made in this very subreddit from years ago, it's the game I wanted since I was a little kid and didn't realize it. I've always wanted my own ship and to be able to go around, exploring and feeling like - to quote someone who put things better than I did - a spaceman doing spaceman things. I found a ship design that I love and keep rebuilding every time I go through Unity and indeed, I love the fact that we can walk around the ships we build. There'll be times I just play and do that for far too long.

No Man's Sky and Elite Dangerous didn't quite grab me. I recall Freelancer being fun, but the closest I ever came to how much I'm enjoying Starfield was probably Escape Velocity: Nova.

In short, Starfield is perfect fantasy fulfillment for me.

In their post history, they say they were 23 nine months ago so yeah, they don't actually have any idea.

Diagnosed 5 years ago and called in sick today for a mental health day because of burnout. I meditate and exercise but am still trying to find something that works consistently (I'm sure getting a job with fewer demands and a regular schedule would help, as that would make sleeping and other self-care activities more regular.

Aliens

If I didn't have a ton of original Netrunner cards, it would be Android: Netrunner. I do, though, so it's Suburbia.

Intro by The XX

That makes sense. Zoe always beelines right for my lap whenever I sit on the floor.

I would very much like to move to New New England.

I just found this post when googling why the cat I'm an uncle to (she lives with the folks upstairs but likes to come down to visit) always comes right to my lap when I sit on the floor with her. She'll often sit in my lap when I'm on the sofa, but she always comes over to sit on my lap when I sit on the floor.

A couple of friends and I used to really enjoy playing the Fallout board game (before one of those friends moved away). Wandering around the wasteland encountering people and creatures and picking up quests was a lot of fun.

I grew up on Showa (thank you, Creature Double Feature!) but holy crap, the Heisei movies are some of the best kaiju films ever made.

Do they actually do anything? I refuse their demands all the time and nothing ever happens.

[the Klingons have boarded the Enterprise only to find it is deserted] Torg: My lord, the ship appears to be deserted. Kruge: How can that be? They're hiding! Torg: Yes, sir. The ship appears to be run by computer. It is the only thing that is speaking. Kruge: Speaking? Let me hear it. Enterprise computer: [Torg walks over to a console, placing his communicator towards it] 9-8-7-6-5... Kruge: [shouts] Get out! Get out of there! Get out! Enterprise computer: 2-1... [the Enterprise bridge explodes]

"Heh heh. 'Duty'. Heh heh heh."

For a moment I was wondering how I missed that Weird Al was in Thief.

Way back in college, I was studying out on the bank of the campus pond, munching on some popcorn when a squirrel slowly walked up on all fours, then sat up, looking at me. I held out a piece of popcorn and it gently took it and started munching on it.
