American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 at the moment, finally with head tracking! It’s so much better, to the point that I would find it hard to go back.

Yeah, that is sad. I enjoy seeing futuristic aliens and ships too, but I guess I’ve never really understood why a lot of these shows have to look like movies now. I would be perfectly happy to see them cut those fancy effects way back and spend some of that money on some good writers to make a few more episodes. I’ve found I very rarely remember how good the CGI monster or alien building looked, but I often remember what the characters said.

No, I’m not as old as I sound! ;-)

All of the above! ;-)

Seriously though, I just like to give things a try before deciding for myself what I think of it.

It is a hot take, I know! 😂

We’ve seen basically nothing of it other than a short trailer, so it’s way too early for anyone to be deciding whether it’ll be good or not! I’m planning to give it a try, just like I have with every other Trek show so far. If I like it, I’ll continue watching. If I don’t, I won’t!

I personally like 1/2/4! I guess the best way to put it is that none of the Trek movies, even my favorites, have really stuck with me like my favorite episodes have.

From the information I’ve seen of it, I think I would have liked Phase II better than the movies they did instead. That being said, the movies probably brought the franchise to a lot of people it may not have reached with another show. So TNG and the later shows may have been a lot lower budget or maybe not made all.

That would be an intriguing idea, and animation would be a good way to do it too! I would usually prefer that they go the new ship and new crew route, but if they tell stories I’m interested in I would be happy to see it.

I’ve thought about having a more serious animated series in the franchise, and I think it could work. There would of course be a group of people that wouldn’t watch because it’s not live action, but depending on how they do it the costs could be a fair amount less too.

My head hurts just looking at this one! 😂

I haven’t being following news on this show too closely since it’s still a way out, so maybe this has been mentioned elsewhere. I noticed that the Klingon character has a pretty similar ridge structure to Worf and family, especially with Worf’s updated look from Picard. Might just be a coincidence though.

I dug my sim racing gear back out recently and have been putting in quite a few hours into the rallycross mode on Dirt Rally 2.0! I’m currently trying to tell myself that I normally only do this for a month or two a year, and that I don’t need to buy a sim cockpit to do it with! 😂 Although I could use it for American and Euro Truck Simulator, so maybe worth it.

I second the recommendation! I’ve sunk a lot of hours into the game, and the plugins add even more variety and replay value if you finish all the content that’s already there.

I believe it’s the Chameleon Plant, which is a type of ground cover I see various places.
