I used to watch this a lot when I was younger and was obsessed with #Voyager as it was airing in real time.
I was made to feel somewhat strange for being a #Trekkie, but thankfully, those influences are gone, and in more recent years, I've drifted back to my love for all things #StarTrek

This is what #StarTrek does for me folks.
It keeps me SANE and Mentally Stable.
Found that over the years various Star Trek series are my top favorite things to rewatch often.
Star Trek is my Comfort Series for sure.

Getting up this morning for work was a struggle after the #Christmas break. And possibly due to medication. But it could be worse and it could be a job I dislike. So I'm quite lucky in that respect.

There are literally hundreds... but one of my favourites would be the seldom referenced #Dilbert series.

Got the Platinum Trophy for the game #CarrotSmash on #PS4 and #PS5 and realised they obviously cared *so much* about this game they've misspelt Platinum! 😆

Im thinking of buying an #Evercade as a gift to myself for #Christmas, with some funds kindly provided via some relatives.
What sort of games would people recommend? Im especially excited about the #GremlinCollection so they'll be an absolute
Suggestions on a postcard - or comment

33 years ago today (12/20/92), ‘Streets of Rage 2’ released on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. Know as ‘Bare Knuckle II’ in Japan, this side-scrolling beat ‘em up is considered one of the best games in the genre. It also boasts a soundtrack considered to be one of the best ever.

"Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace,"
I don't find Monday mornings difficult going to work, but I think physiologically, there's always something that tells you it's a struggle.
And not that I particularly dislike Mondays or are they Manic...

You will struggle to find a better soundtrack than that of #FinalFantasyVII, and the #FF7R soundtrack is an incredible evolution/adaptation of this. I suppose it must be like what Swifties felt when they first heard Taylors Version
