Does Lemmy do content warnings? If so maybe I should bite the bullet already and move.

There's that new clippy thing that lets you record an arbitrary region of the screen. That and HDR stuff. Everything else in Windows 11 is on par or a regression over previous functionality. It's the New Coke of Windows operating systems. πŸ˜†

A tie between HISHE and The Warp Zone.

I don't share my password but Disney+ is the one streamer my wife hasn't let me cancel. Would happily leverage even the slightest inconvenience to bolster my argument and ditch the mouse. Make my day, Mickey.

I went to see what thinkgeek dot com was selling these days. Sad to discover that they are no more.

I'm not sure what needs optimizing. It's fine on Pixel Tablet.

I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It's not so much the expense. It's the principle.

Mel Brooks and David Attenborough seem like safe bets.

I remember reading a book when I was a kid called The Dog Days of Arthur Cane. I think the fairy was a witch doctor but basically the same idea. As I recall, Arthur saw the best and the worst of humanity during his predicament. Sadly no Wikipedia page for the author but the book is on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2006378.The_Dog_Days_of_Arthur_Cane

Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.

Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride

Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.

I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.

I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.

Edit: fixed a word
