Haha no worries. Did you see the Kickstarter for the sequel to Star Control 2?

Do you mean Stardock?

So I played it for a while several years ago and kinda got bored with it. I got to the bottom of the mine and had married one of the characters, and my farm (such as it was) was mostly automated so not much to do there. I know there are a bunch of story moments but I got tired of wandering around randomly trying to meet the conditions to trigger them. I wanted it to happen organically without looking it up. I just felt like I ran out of things to do and there was no point to keep playing.

At the same time, I want to play it on my Steam Deck because I did enjoy what I did play!

After watching it completely through within the last few years, I can say I rank it higher than Voyager.

Yeah I have a game that pause is space, so I mapped one of the back buttons to that and it’s perfect.

That’s what I thought too, and then I got sucked in. I watched it a few weeks ago, I usually love her Star Wars stuff but this felt too long…nope.

Interesting! I recently finished my playthru and while I feel like it slogged a bit at the end, it was good!

Hmmm I think my expectations were set incorrectly for this show. From the rumblings I heard before the premiere, it was on a similair level as Andor and was kind of a murder mystery thing. It is nothing like Andor (so far) and the murder 'mystery' was solved (at least for the viewers) at the end of the first episode. I was excited about the possibility of 'Law & Order in space with Jedi' since it seemed like a fresh genre for Star Wars but this...is more like 'generic Star Wars plot line #45'. I plan to keep watching because the High Republic era is interesting, but the story has been bleh so far for me.

Also weird that Carrie-Anne Moss figured so prominently in the hype & advertising just to be killed off in the first few minutes. If I was excited that she was in the show (I was ambivalent towards it myself) I would be super mad about that.

I'm afraid Andor has ruined me when it comes to Star Wars media. :-/

So am I hallucinating that a few months ago when he was removed the Internet loved him? I feel like that consensus turned quick.

Also, he reminds me of one of my favorite lines from MST3K: ‘Sorry about your face’

So, I’m not a big fan personally. Like, I get why people love it but it just doesn’t do anything for me. And I’m a dad to boot.

That video was fantastic.

Islets. First Metroidvania I’ve ever tried and I love it.
