  Without getting all the references we at least found lower decks to stand very well on its own. Will rewatch once ive seen all of the tng-era shows as i think you obviously get more out of it if you also get the references, but my point was just that its not a prerequisite to enjoy it.

  Im only about 4 episodes into s02 of tng so far. I was just expecting s01 and s02 to really suck based on discussions and recommendations to skip straight to s03. But ive had a good time so far and now i am really looking forward to s03 if it is so much better.

  Both me and my gf started with entire lower decks, then snw and now ive started tng (from start, currently in s2 snd enjoying more than i thought based on all the recs to go straight to s3)… That has been a great entry for us at lesst

  I recently finished main story in bully on ps2 (emu). About 55% completion after end mission, and 11 hrs. Did some additional missions to get me up to about 65% and then retired the game as im not all that crazy about hunting down blue rubber bands and whatnot. Did most of the classes, but lacked a few art and photography.

  Moved to another ps2 title now: jak & daxter the precursor legacy. No experience with this series before, but enjoyable first 45 mins which is what i have been able to play so far.

  Neverwinter nights still on the backburner for now, and tomorrow i will play some kind of multiplayer game with an old uni buddy of mine, but not decided which one yet

  When watching some videos from retro game youtube channels, they tend to point to how much more daring they were back then, and all new games will just safe it. New aaa games cost so much they cant fail, but then a flop was to a larger extend “meh” and move on for the studio. Guess that made some of these games feel more freaky as you say

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just completed bully on the ps2 (emulated on pcsx2)! Had a lot of fun, planning on going for jak & daxter series next i think. I never owned the console myself, so there are many gems ive never tried, and many i only played at friends houses sporadically.

  This thread is a gold mine for suggestions!

  I love soulcalibur 2! I played it (and still play sometimes) on gamecube tho, but apart from a different special character (link from zelda in the gc version), its the same game. Tried soulcalibur 3 as well, but didnt really get into it - cant put my finger on why, but it was ages since i tried 3

  Ive never used their software, but it exists for android, so maybe you can use it on linux with waydroid?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo Has Announced The Successor To Its Ultimate Wireless Controller | Time Extension⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have the original and it works both with 2.4ghz and bluetooth out of the box. Been a very good experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which shows are worth watching?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just chiming in that lower decks was what really set the snowball running for me (having before only seen first three seaons of disco, first season of picard, some of the tng movies ages ago and the chris pine movies). Even if you dont catch all the references, lower decks is a very enjoyable series and i plan to rewatch it after having seen the other stuff. Did snw first after lower decks and liked that a lot, and currently doing tng and enjoying that a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are on my to-play list for ps2-games as well!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Been continuing my playthrough of bully on ps2 (emulated) since last week. About 35-40% in now. Really enjoying it. Controls are abit clunky and the story can seem a little incoherent at times (eg suddenly a character has disappeared from the school right after doing a mission where he was very much present), but overall it is just alot of fun. Not big on collecting things so wonder what % is needed to complete main story. But got my eyes open to ps2 catalogue now as i never owned this myself and there are lots of gems i have barely or never played before. Was recommended the other ps2-era rockstar games red dead revolver, the warrioes and manhunt last week and i will check those out later.

  Intended to play some more neverwinter nights, but didnt find the time. Had a real dnd session tho

  Ive recently picked up Bully for the ps2. Only about 5% in but finding it entertaining. Reskinned ps2-era gta with the same kind of humor. Still have neverwinter nights on the pc but not picked that up in a couple of weeks because i died on a boss and i dont like to die (im not patient in that sense). But also liked that and will try to play some more this week end.

  I think it does. It is in invaluable tool for me to choose my next game and the farther from release the more datapoints make up the playtimes :)

  The Nordic countries are about to ban gas.

  No we are not. The 2025 100% ev target in norway was always a target, and there was never talks of a ban on ice. Were somewhere at around 95-100% new sales being evs but you can still buy ice and wont be prevented from doing so atleast in the forseeable future. Rest of the world just went on assuming that it was talk of a ban. Its not. Well probably follow suit with whatever eu is doing when it comes to actual bans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ive started neverwinter nights for the first time ever :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of newer games i am considering super mario bros wonder or tears of the kingdom. But i also never played metroid prime (had it on gc but hated the controls) - just not sure if i want to play it on wii (i liked corruption controls) or the remastered version om switch.

  Ill probably also start a ds game i never got to play in parallel.

  Maybe uncharted on ps3? Never playes those. As you can see i have not yet decided :p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ah very nice, the sidebar is not visible by default on jerboa and i forgot to check this. great resource!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TNG is best to start after season 1. Not saying season one is bad, but it might be harder to get into for a new comer.

  i think i am now prepared for what to come and will try to also watch season 1 but with the mindset that i can skip bad episodes.

  I still think that lower decks and strange new worlds can not be fully enjoyed without some other older trek shown under your belt, but it’s only a few episodes so you can finish them both quickly.

  getting much enjoyment out of lower decks now, but i can obviously tell there are many references i dont quite pick up on. If i end up watching it all, i will definitely go back and rewatch lower decks. Good point about few episodes, as i think i will try to squeeze in snw before i start tng-era.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea need to rewire my mindset there, but this is a recurring rec so i think it is one i definitely must heed!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  hehe i at least assumed the more comedic aspects does not fit into the true star trek lore :p I think i have settled on starting from TNG and moving onto DS9 from there. Still considering SNW first since its not that many episodes.

  be prepared for sudden urges for Rick Berman to “accidentally fall out an airlock”, if you know what I mean.

  not really but it sounds like some soviet putin stuff!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Episodic is good!

  Im prepared for slow start with TNG-era stuff, not sure if im prepared for TOS. But checking out a few episodes camt hurt, i guess i for some reason think i have to commit to one series from start to end and that is obviously not true

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats a fun idea! If i knew about this before it would have been cool to do it in parallel from the start. I think i at the very least will definitely aim to go through LD again after having seen through 90s stuff if i ever get that far to pick up on the references!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the list! I think it will be either this or try to watch TNG from the start and follow the 90s shows. But SNW first is still a contender

  Btw what do you mean by syndication?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think ill reserve TOS for if i become a trekkie! Hehe

  I definitely need some of that brighter future-stuff right about now. I think what i mean with adventure of the week i mean problem of the week. It doesnt have to be jungles and temples and stuff. But i dont want that hbo-style “oh we are so dark and you have to pay attention for every fucking second of every episode or you will lose the thread because we are so intrcate and did i mention we are dark now fuck off and get depressed”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you stop after that or have you since seen more?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea i am prepared for a slow start. Leaning towards trying to see it from start to finish and if that gets hard then check out some of the good episodes mentioned here.

  Didnt know about TOS-movies, i guess that is a good way to check out that era! I saw three of the tng-films as a kid. I remember liking them, but i was like 12. Only remeber one being very borg-centered
