Do beards count? Like many men, I decided to stop shaving during Covigeddon and discovered that a big, bushy beard suits me and decided to keep it.

Yes! Absolutely! Pair that with paying for shit with my phone and I feel like I’m in Star Trek, except without the uniforms and cool shit.

I got a Leaf and I’m surprised how well it handles, that low center of gravity with the battery pack really helps it feel planted through the corners.

I got a Nissan Leaf. I wanted a full EV over a hybrid to save on maintenance costs.

Eventually I’ll get myself a project car which will be petrol, but for a car to get from point A to point B, I don’t think I’ll ever get another ICE powered car.

Endless Space 2. The best OST I have ever come across in 20+ years of gaming. Several hundred hours in and I’m still not sick of any of the tracks.

Voyager was “my” Star Trek growing up. I live in a country where we didn’t get things as they aired, so we were behind in the broadcast seasons, 1 season behind, from memory. I was too young to really appreciate TNG, but I really liked the feel of Voyager, even as a kid. I always thought that the Enterprise was never too far away from a Federation starbase, but Voyager being all alone really struck a chord with me.

Also I was 13/14 when Seven of Nine came on board, so of course that ratcheted up my desire to watch the show a million percent.

But going back and watching it later, with older sensibilities, god DAMN was that a good show overall. Yes, some episodes were terrible, and some of the writing really fell flat, but The Year of Hell particularly stood out for me. I haven’t seen anyone mention The Doctor in the comments so far, and I have to say that Robert Picardo was the perfect choice for that character. The Doctor had one of the best character arcs I’ve seen on TV. He never got “flanderised”, his character was consistent and always entertaining to watch. Chakotay as a character was poorly handled, he was very milquetoast, never really did anything interesting to stand out, he was always just…there.

That seems a very typical “hands over ears going lalalalalalala” CEO type response. When a huge part of your userbase protests your changes, you would hope it would at least cause some discussion at a high level, perhaps a compromise. But for them to just stay the same course seems absurd. I suspect this will be one of the nails in the coffins of Reddit. It won’t go out with a bang, but with a whimper.

Ports of Call on the Commodore 64. One of the first video games I ever played. Set up a shipping company, buy a ship, buy low and sell high and get better ships. Occasionally you have to take control of the ship (incredibly rudimentary, but it was 1986, give them a break) to dock or leave port, avoid a collision or avoid reefs, but for whatever reason I keep coming back to it.

How about Lemmings?
