  • I don’t have anything really against the topics in lots of modern Star Trek, and I like a lot of it. Lower Decks is great, I loved Prodigy and what I have seen of Strange new worlds was quite good too. Even some parts of Picard Season 1 and 2 was good (and it got so much better in S3).

    What I can’t watch though is Discovery, this show is just, in my opinion, so bad written on so many levels. A waste of time and money in my eyes. I tried the first three seasons and stopped. I am happy for everyone who likes it, it is just not a show for me and that is fine.

    But all of the new shows are so much worse than the old shows (TNG and newer, I am too young for TOS/TAS), by miles. Maybe it is nostalgia (I started watching TNG as a teenager) but I don’t think so. Sure it has it’s own cringe at times but for me the quality of the writing and storytelling is on a completely other level.










  • I recently played Phantasy Star on the Master System (the original from 1987) and I really loved the game in general, story was fun and the characters (as little as you see from them) were cool. But I have two issues with the game

    1. The huge, multi level first person dungeons without a map and without any landmarks to navigate by.
    2. Hardly any information on what to do next or where to go, just walking over the map until you find, by chance, the correct place or NPC to get further.

    Both points made me drop the game about 2/3th in. I don’t have the time for that kind of gameplay, I am not 12 anymore.

    So yes, those old game mechanics are problematic. And it’s in so many old JRPGs, Star Ocean, Phantasy Star, the early Final Fantasy games. Really sad.
