I remember this especially

The mark is necessary. It’s the only way to tell whether the screenshot is from the PS4 or PS5 version.

Any Mass Effect fans here? Because I think ME snobs would look down on me. Andromeda is the only ME game I played and I loved it. Easily one of my favorite games. I can’t imagine how people would hate it — it’s got great characters, it’s full of stories around every corner, has a large universe filled with unique,…

At least until all its crazy vibration features give me carpal tunnel syndrome, I’m really enjoying the PS5 controller.

Hmm, if she is playing a teenager, then maybe the plot will echo the 2013 Kenobi novel, in which he befriends a mother and her daughter during his early days on Tatooine.

I just hope that Q turns Picard into a human again (He is a robot now right, or do I misunderstand?). I can’t stand that plot. It’s like taking the insanity of Voyager’s “Threshold” and mixing it with a boring episode of Enterprise. 

Yes — but it wasn’t a licensed Rock ‘em movie and thus not relevant.

It’s likely that this game was not created with gamers in mind, but for parents who are understandably hesitant about using games as mental health therapy for their kids. And maybe it can be helpful for adults who also don’t have any gaming experience.

I could think of worse ways to go

When she showed up I was like

After all this, the first half of the season is probably one giant barrel roll down a river.

I hope he totally defies casting expectations and plays a clumsy side-kick like Marcus Brody.

Game looks like a lot of arcadey fun. But, the bad guys are covered in so many tentacles and move so fast, it’s hard for me to actually get a good look at them (at least in the trailer). Hopefully the actual game will have some subtleties so you can enjoy the art direction -- rather than just shoot and dodge hundreds…

Right. I looked at the slide show a couple of times just to make sure I didn’t miss it. It also appeared in a number of episodes, so it’s definitely “canon” if there was any doubt. 

I’ll pack my bags!

I hope there’s Borg. I’ve always wondered how Kirk et al would deal with them and they’re the only big screen villain that hasn’t gotten an update. I’m also still sad about Anton Yelchin’s passing -- he brought a lot not only to Trek, but other performances. 

I think I’m still out of luck on the PS5. I scored one through Wal Mart’s 3/18 drop, but got notified today it’s delayed. If new stock doesn’t arrive in 10 days, the order is automatically cancelled. Anyone else in this situation? I’m hoping for a movie moment -- in the very last minute, they’ll get stock and ship it…

The Droogs will probably leave once they realize that Pepe LePew is off the team.

I never expected Picard to actually die, but I think the robot thing is ridiculous. Would have been much better if Seven saved him using Borg technology...i.e. still some trace elements of Borg nanoprobes in Picard’s bloodstream.
