Great times!

Introducing my daughter to Trek this year, just wrapped up S4 of DS9 a few weeks ago and S3 of Voyager the week after.

We have a few more months of golden age Trek… soaking it in.

Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I’d heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.

Mayo clinic says yes though.

People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.

Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.

Yep. I found it fascinating. I think the version I had probably had a forward from Asimov talking about how we were wrong about guesses about Venus.

I don’t remember much else from the story except this, and the big reveal of the whodunnit. (Or more accurately the how).

There was a young adult sci fi series by Asimov called ‘Lucky Starr’ and I remember Venus was Oceanic in that one. Old old series.

Omg lol

You’re not so little anymore!

I u’se it to 'signify “here come’s an 'S!”*

I’ve been saying the same thing for a while. Same with the massive waves of ‘inflation’ and enshittification.

On Android Space RPG3 (free) and Space RPG4 ($3?) are really good spiritual successors as well.

Some of the original team are also working on a spiritual successor. Have been for a while. Don’t remember what it’s called though.

You…

You shot Captain Hector?!

Here’s one I played a lot of and loved that I never hear about anywhere… Bionic Commando - 1992. A port of a Nintendo game I only got to try a few times, but the game boy version was better to me.

Fwiw, sounds pretty similar to me. Depends on your doc, probably… but I have a good relationship with my Dr. and my ability to discuss my previous diagnosis as well as meds and what worked etc. Was enough for me.

I’m pretty sure this is exactly what happened.
