Having driven both the Prius and the Subaru, it's important to keep certain things in mind.

This is wonderful news. I still have my Homeworld 2 box in the closet, even if I haven’t played it in over a decade. I’m hoping that they make a multi-platform client for Steam so that I can just boot into it on my Mac and play a couple of rounds, or take it on the road when I’m traveling once the Haswell MBP13s come…

Why would it being handheld only be so bad? Granted, having to buy a current model 3DS or Vita is annoying, but there’s a definite place for JRPGs designed for handhelds, and Persona V would seem to lend itself well to the platform.

It felt very JRPG to me, in the sense that I was running a squad of individuals, each of whom had their own (however limited) story and their own unique stats and equipment within a larger, more common class.

The lower bar is also useful for town/commuter/cargo bikes where the rider may be in street clothes or for older riders of either gender who have trouble kicking a leg over the seat.

I enjoyed Dreadnaught! but I always thought it was something of a guilty pleasure. Piper is a bit too Mary Sue. (Though she's not any more unreasonable than, say, a young James T. Kirk would be.)

I think 'Uhura's Song', by Janet Kagan should definitely be in there. Not many Star Trek novels cover First Contact situations particularly well, and this one does. It also puts Uhura's skills as a linguist and translator front and center. I'll agree with 'The Wounded Sky' by Diane Duane as another great TOS novel…
