It's hard line between classic and temporary. Anything that follows trend hard usually doesn't last the test. Things that try to relive the past usually don't last.

I have problems with a lot of scripted television now when I used to love it as a kid.

Hell, I have problems with some parts of TNG because there science has progressed so much since then. THE EXOCOMS ARE SPECIAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE SAPIENCE, THEY AREN'T LIFE!

Can i ask everyone to please watch the movie M * A * S * H in honour of Donald Sutherland passing... And share then share your experience here.

Im very curious how it will be received, i wont be surprised by some problematic aspects, but it was an impactful movie (and tv show)

I think they dealt with subject matter that might be important in this current era

I am also looking to watch the tv show at some point. Which onr should I watch first, the tv show or the movie?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I think it's a personal choice, or at least i didn't have any specific reason not to watch the movie first. They are a fair bit different but if you watch the series first that's a lot of Alan alda to unsee if you watch the movie afterwards so i think it's better for your movie experience if watch it before the series, and it was released first so there's that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I'm not that knowledgeable on either, but if I remember rightly you also have the choice of watching the TV Show as it was broadcast in the USA or as it was broadcast in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) - the main difference being that the USA one has a laugh track added.

I may have some of the details wrong, but just FYI.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

If you can then watch it without the laugh track first.

So many things, too many to count. Been revisiting things pretty regularly with my partner and the ones that don't make me cringe are really rare. Things I adore are unwatchably sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or creepy.

I used to really enjoy classic RTS games. But other games are just more interesting that I can't seem to ever play them much.

I still really enjoy games like Princess Maker 2 even 20+ years later.

I was never great at RTS games, but I always liked expanding my base. I'm happy at the expansion of the "colony builder" subgenre which scratches that itch to make things and is more exciting than a SimCity type city builder, but isn't all in service of combat like an RTS.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried rimworld or Oxygen Not Included?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No but they are both in my wishlist. Right now I'm playing Colony Ship, which is coincidentally about a generational colony ship, but the game itself is an RPG.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Colony Ship

Oh wow it has a demo. I'm going to try it, looks like a modern fallout 2 kinda game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It's very heavily inspired by the original Fallout game designs. Very heavy on having lots of types of character builds and options to complete quests. I'm probably going to restart soon because my first character wasn't a great build.

The opening to Full Metal Jacket hasn't, uh, hasn't aged well.
