No, you can fly it. The thing is, manually piloting your ship sounds like it’s not used for transportation, only for combat and docking/boarding other ships and space stations. But those things are apparently pretty fun.

This looks amazing. It’s time for psychedelic and dream imagery in video games to come back.

Also the article is an iPhone ad.

The ones that I find myself going back to the most in the last decade are indie classics. Hyper Light Drifter, Kerbal Space Program, FTL: Faster Than Light (I just realized all these titles sound similar, but they’re a 2D character action game, a spaceflight simulator/shipbuilder, and a very unique strategy game, respectively, and they’re all among the best in their genres). Also, as a horror game fan and a Resident Evil fan in particular, I keep replaying the Resident Evil 2 remake from 4 years ago; easily one of the best horror games ever made.

I’ll bet that any TOS fans who were furious at the time probably did not go on to like the show.

As a TOS fan who wasn’t too happy with what I had heard before TNG came out, I would bet against you. Most of them probably became TNG fans eventually, because the most impactful thing a show can do is simply to be great. Canon complaints and complaints about characters not returning are mostly about nostalgia, and if the show is compelling (especially if it’s compelling in a similar way to the old show), nostalgia can’t compete. If anything I’d guess that the people in this article were more likely to become fans of TNG, because it would have exceeded their expectations, which can make things seem better than they would otherwise.

Were you really a Trekkie if you thought TNG was going to be good in 1987?

Kidding, sort of. I remember thinking it was going to be a cash grab, and I still think I was right to think so at the time. Keep in mind, you couldn’t go on the Web and instantly know everything about an upcoming TV show. I think I learned it was in production from the back of a cereal box. I didn’t even know Gene Roddenberry was involved. The Enterprise-D design was pretty weird, and the cast of characters was more than a bit out there–a Klingon? On the Enterprise crew? Come on.

It’s making search engines useless, for one thing.

I don’t think they can recognize the flyswatter, but they do seem to find a sudden increase in movement around them suspicious. Move slowly and strike from close up.

I don’t see them as replacing the originals, although I guess in a sense they are. It would be one thing if they weren’t as good as the originals, but they’re arguably better. I’ve been a Resident Evil fan since 1996, I thought the original was better than Resident Evil 2 (which was an unpopular opinion at the time), but right now, if you ask me the best game in the series that I’ve played so far? RE2 Remake. Don’t even really have to think about it much.

They’ve given out Loop Hero before, it’s a fun and unique roguelite but extremely grindy.
