AirDevil,

I post a reminder in a group chat with my friends every year. Someone today asked how the hell I remember it and I told them it’s in my calendar

AirDevil,

That’s fair. It’s the double-edged sword of internet stardom. To me it’s about remembering a simpler time then the world was less of a mess than it is today.

AirDevil,

AirDevil,

For real :[ unfortunate circumstances and a very unfortunate outcome. For all the memes and lols this created, I hope he’s doing well

AirDevil, (edited )

It sure would be a shame if you bought new, identical Joy-Con controllers, found they didn’t have drift, and returned the old drifty ones by accident.

5/28 Ninja Edit: today I learned is a form on Nintendo’s website where you can fill out a repair request form. I thought the US had been excluded repair.nintendo.com/cc/soConsumer.html?lang=en&sy…

AirDevil,

Unfortunately, that’s not available in the US :(

AirDevil,

You’re totally right. For some reason I (mis)remembered it only being in the EU while the US was excluded. I found the form on Nintendo’s website and will look into that later.

AirDevil,

The Next Generation (TNG) is a great start.

My journey was TNG, Deep Space 9 (DS9), Voyager, The Original Series (TOS), the animated series, Enterprise, Discovery. Movies as you see fit

Each series is very different and has character of their own. TNG is largely unconnected episodes with a 2-parter bridging the seasons. DSN starts pretty unconnected, but gets into a overarching plot at the end. Voyager follows a main theme, but has some unconnected episodes. TOS is episodic and doesn’t have much follow up between episodes. Discovery is the latest and the most singular plot of the Star Treks (ie don’t skip episodes in it).

Note also that the term for a show to “grow a beard” came from TNG. The first season was kind of slow with some very meh episodes. Riker physically grew a beard in the second season and the show got a lot better (unrelated coincidence, but a funny connection).

One other thing is that even though I recommend TNG, remember it came out in the late 80’s. Some parts of it are slower and feel dragged out. The television show runtimes were longer back then.

Notable mentions are Galaxy Quest and Lower Decks. Both are funny on their own, but will 100% be rib-crushing hilarious only after you’ve watched a lot of Trek.

AirDevil,

Oh! I can’t believe I forgot Strange New Worlds. It’s a very good show and scratches the episodic exploration itch of older Treks
