Adamant refusal to conform with societal norms. There's a number of reasons why; it may change as streamers become more attractive, but right now they haven't tipped into the 'gotta spend money on' category.

Oh I don't remember what I had, I just remembered hating trying to figure out why stuff wasn't working together - my least favorite aspects of PC.

You may not get mods with consoles, but you know what you also never get with consoles? To spend hours troubleshooting why your audio driver and your graphics card decided to start fighting with your OS when you booted up a new game to play. Shocking and terrible indeed!

I was on the math team in high school, and competed in state wide tournaments, and we lost. And we didn't get any medals or awards. And it didn't scar me for life. Being on a math team in high school, however... -
I never finished MotB either, but I'm not a big fan of 'eating' mechanics in console games, either. Not really a fan of them in PnP either, and usually played where you only paid upkeep in town and as long as your visits weren't infrequent to town, the assumption was made you were repairing equipment and restocking food/water. So food, water and equipment status only mattered if you were away from town for a significantly long time.

I liked it, personally. I have a copy so will probably rewatch after the tv series.

If C64 games count, I remember loading games from tape. Slow process. Dunno which was first, I remember Spy vs Spy, Bruce Lee and Phantasie. But my first C64 game I bought was Datasoft's Black Magic.

Yeah, I recall that. I saw the movie years ago...also have a high tolerance for trippy scifi...

The original Space Adventure Cobra series from 1981 (cue disappointment it isn't a magical girl series). I saw the movie years ago, but I know the story is a bit more involved than the movie could show and have been curious to see the original anime series which I think is a more straight adaption of the manga, while I think the movie trades on a certain understanding of the characters you could get from the show. I have a few other anime series around so may roll into one of those (the Galaxy Express 999 tv show or Future Boy Conan if it's released by then on the upcoming new bluray release in the US) afterwards. EDIT: I don't have a streaming or cable service, so rely on rentals, borrows or purchases fir anime.

I had an uncle who had a PC, and not counting C64 games, those were the first PC games I ever played. Which would make Duke Nukem (1991), Wolfenstein 3D (1992) and I think MS Flight Similator 4.0 based on the age of the first two the first true PC games I played.
-
I actually saw the DIC dub that aired in syndication in the US and was never finished back in the day. But I haven't seen any new theoretically better sub that would include the whole thing.

Not a trailer yet, but footage from DC Fandome:

The first video game I ever played was a free standing PONG console in the mid 1970s. I was raised wrong.
-
I've not watched any of Cowboy Bebop so can't judge fidelity to the source material, but I thought it was a fun trailer.

I loved TO:LUCT. I wish I was better at strategy games, as I liked the idea of Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen as well, and the game was good, I just sucked at it so never completed it. Never played OB64:Person of Lordly Calibur and OB Gaiden: Prince of Zenobia never got a western release (and was a Neo Geo Pocket Color release). TO: the Knight of Lodis for the Gameboy Advance was okay, but not quite what TO:LUCT was, partially because of some nerfs they did to some of the classic LUCT classes (IMO), but the story wasn't as involved either. Sadly with Square's purchase of Quest, the series will most likely never be heard from again in favor of Final Fantasy Tactics games. I loved the first FFT, but beyond that the games weren't that good, IMO. I particularly hated the first sequel (FFT Advance) and the horse it rode in on.

I'm really only familiar with The Invincible story by reputation/talking with people who'd read it; the story of the game seems to be taking the basic set-up (the Invincible arrives on Regis III to determine what happened to the crew of the Condor; one crewmember is sent out to find what happened). But it also seems to be starting us in that mystery, unlike what I understand the Lem novel does, and the wandering crewmember seems to indicate a very different kind of encounter than the one in the novel (as I understand it, having not read it).

Thing is there have people peddling that kind of thing for decades (Wally George, anyone?) So...anime it is. I actually have some anime series lined up (sadly not Sailor Moon, haven't found a copy) to watch here shortly.

Lots of 1-and-4s in that list. We beat the Jets and the Giants at least even if we lost to Football Team and Eagles (other loss was Bucs). I guess that keeps us from being the bottom fart (Lions) of the list. That's...something.

Hello everyone, long time lurker, first time poster to this thread. I have a lot of PS4 games, but my time gaming in front of a TV screen has been severely limited. That said, before I curtailed my play time, I enjoyed the PS4 (then again, I've played consoles for a long time and have almost never had a super-powered top-of-the-line PC to jade me over inferior display/input). However, as I've ended up mostly playing Switch games if I play a console game, I'm not sure about upgrading to the PS5 or X-Box Series X. It also depends on how much you want the exclusive games that end up on a system (as a huge Persona fan, I got my PS4 in anticipation of it being released. Ironically, as it turns out, I've never had a chance to play it).

TNG "Rightful Heir" Worf has a crisis of faith. He goes on a vision quest. His vision turns out to be real, so he immediately becomes a skeptic and seeks advice from a robot about faith. Meanwhile, Gowron's eyes bore into your very soul.

Hmmm, it wasn't until this moment that I realized you're probably talking about the 2018 Jim Cummings THUNDER ROAD and not the 1958 Robert Mitchum THUNDER ROAD...
