The_Picard_Maneuver OP , 11 months ago to retrogaming in In Mario 2, why would I want to choose anyone other than Peach?

Maybe I should watch some speed runs. The others just feel terrible to use, and I can’t fathom how they would be better.

I always played her back in the day too, but I remember trying the others out.

It would’ve made a lot more sense if they were greyed out when you died with them or something, so that you’d have to pick the others.

Toad seems terrible!

Well that’s an upsetting thought.

As an American, nobody would question Washington, Jefferson, or Lincoln’s presence, but Teddy Roosevelt would be the odd man out. He did a lot of great things for the country as well, but he’s decidedly less famous than the others.

You better make it before the History channel creates a full series.

The discussions on here are usually really positive.

I haven’t even seen Discovery or Picard yet. I just love TOS and TNG and thought this was surreal to read.

I’m counting down the days. Even got mine a onesie that says “The Next Generation”

This is how I am too. TOS feels like a lesser commitment to watching something, so it winds up being easier to throw on casually.

This is a fantastic write-up.

This is what my brain is hoping for (and never gets) any time one of those click-bait articles tries to reel me in with a title that sounds similar.

She was so reminiscent of McCoy

Yeah, what was revolutionary in the 1960s (humans of all nationalities working together) wouldn’t have been enough in 1987, but I appreciate that it set the groundwork for the series as a whole.

The acting in TOS is over the top and often silly, but I try to watch it as a product of its time - audiences didn’t really want their shows to have an edge or get deeply philosophical back then, so Roddenberry and team had to sneak that type of stuff in where they could. I have a soft spot for TOS and the campy characters and still think it’s a fun lighthearted watch.

I’ve tried so many, and Liftoff is my favorite too.

It’s all that ghost magic.

The_Picard_Maneuver , 11 months ago to fediverse in Why are trending posts on Mastodon mostly negatively politically oriented?

It’s the worst part of social media, in my opinion. If you’re ingesting that stuff 24/7, you’d think the world was ending every week.

We aren’t built to process that volume of information without it warping our perception.
