  • Oh God, that artwork. It’s even worse when you see it in motion!

    The Dutch government and Royal Dutch Philips should officially apologize for the CD-i Zelda games.

    I actually played that shit as a kid! Imagine my disappointment when the game we rented turned out to be an extremely shitty platformer! Also, good luck playing that abomination with the default remote/controller.



  • There’s a lot of negativity in this thread that I don’t think is entirely warrented. It sounds like you’re both still very young and you haven’t been dating for more than a few months. It’s alright to just have a fun, shallow relationship for a while and then move on, especially at your age. That doesn’t make you a terrible person.

    If you want your relationship to last beyond the first few months, though, when you’re both still in love, you’ll have to develop some sort of emotional connection beyond just fancying eachother.

    The way I see it you have two options. The first is you enjoy the relationship for as long as you do. You get your emotional support somewhere else. When the initial attraction wears of you break up.

    But if you want a serious long-term relationship, you’ll have to address this issue. You could try telling her how you feel the next time she changes the subject. Tell her you need to work through these negative emotions, and it’d be nice if she tried to listen and/or comfort you.

    Or perhaps next time she’s feeling insecure and needs to be told she’s not stupid and ugly, you change the subject and show her some funny videos. See how she likes it! This is arguably a bit passive aggressive and immature, but it does sound like empathy isn’t her strongest point. It might help her understand if she experiences things from your point of view. Depending on how she responds, you could then address the matter in a more direct fashion.










  • The best three are TNG, DS9 and VOY.

    TOS is very much a show from the 60s. If you love SNW, though, it’s definitely worth checking out. If you can’t get into it, the movies are still worth a watch. Wrath of Kahn is obligatory watching.

    Be sure to watch First Contact. The other TNG movies aren’t as good.

    ENT has its moments. If you get bored with the Xindi or temporal cold war storylines feel free to skip a bunch of episodes. IMO it gets good in season 4 and great right before it was cancelled at the end of that season.

    Lower Decks is a funny cartoon that you should watch after you’ve seen a lot of other Star Trek shows, so that you’ll get the references.

    Discovery and Picard are not as good as the earlier shows. At least, not in a way that appeals to fans of earlier Trek.

    Starfleet Academy doesn’t deserve as much hate as it got, but it’s not great.

    TAS (The Animated Series) is a curiosity that might be worth taking a look at for fans of TOS.
