Inb4 bigots call Birdo depiction “woke.”

From that time period, it was probably one of the Spider-Man games that tied in with the Raimi movies. It would have had Bruce Campbell narrating the tutorial levels, if that helps jog your memory.

The first one had a tutorial level in a wrestling match, but the second one sounds more similar to what you described. Unfortunately, if you were playing Spider-Man 2 on a Windows PC, it means you were playing the worst possible version of a great game. The Playstation version was far superior in performance, controls, graphics, and well just about every other way. The Windows version (you can’t even call it a port, because it was an entirely different game) was developed by Fizz Factor. If you tried to play the game today, I would strongly recommend the Treyarch version on an emulator, but it might not have the nostalgia factor.

How appropriate that you’re bitching about people coming into your walled garden to criticize Apple.

“Still stands” means is impossible. Is there also a “no thumbstick” challenge? Or a “no controller plugged in” challenge?

Gotta catch 'em all!

Let’s be real, he ain’t visiting most of the houses. China and India, Indonesia, Pakistan, are mostly non-Christian, and then there’s a lot of poor people that Santa seems to skip over most years.

It’s a plot point in the early seasons that the replicators on the station are not as good as the ones you might find on a federation starship.

Looks are only half as important to a cyclops.

This joke is so much better in Picard’s voice, really enunciating the vowels in “sick beets.”

Is it possible I’ve never seen Michael Dorn without the Klingon makeup?

The problem is that transporters don’t actually exist, so there isn’t a “real” way in which they work. The show presented several different descriptions for how they worked, and the functionality had whatever feature the plot demanded.

So you get the ship’s doctor who avoids it because she thinks it’s basically as described in this cartoon, you get the copy of Riker from the time he Schrodinger escaped from that planet, you’ve got the autosaved DNA sequences that helped them reset after a virus was about to kill everyone, and you get teleported people perceiving their trip. All of that can coexist in just one of the mamy shows because it isn’t consistent. Star Trek has some excellent detail, and explores some interesting hard scifi topics, but it’s still just fiction.

Why did you put a bunch of asterisks at the bottom of your post?

While true, there’s probably 40% of the American population that has no idea who that is.

Shit, here I am giving it away like a chump. Imma write up an invoice for my wife.

I was surprised to see so many “AITA for cutting out certain foods? Yes, buy Weight Watchers, asshole!” ads disguised as posts. I’m sure they’re not new, but using a third party app meant I never had to see them.

That was also a plot point a few times related to the food replicators and the holodeck.

You may be right. See above.

You might be right. Time to rewatch all the Star Trek.

Wasn’t there a TNG episode about the night crew?

Hi, are you me?

You know what fucks with my head is having to explain to people why I can do something today that I couldn’t do yesterday. So sometimes I just don’t do things I know I can’t always do, because I don’t feel like having conversations about my medical history. Or maybe I could help you carry that furniture today, but because one time six months ago I was using a cane, you’re going to insist that I don’t have to help.
