Don't be sorry for your reply being long, it was clearly well thought out and considered. I agree on all the points you've made ... perhaps the majority of people here didn't like Picard 1 & 2 because it wasn't repeating the type of story telling that Star Trek has typically given, but was a whole new thing. People, generally, don't like change and I think in the current world there's comfort to be had in the "monster of the week" style 90s shows.

Well, 1 and 2 both dealt with deep themes of grief and generational trauma ... I appreciated that they tried to write a story with a deep meaning to it, even if it didn't 100% work it was better than a lot of the recent things I've watched

The thing I liked with 1 and 2 was that they both tried to tackle big ideas of past trauma, even if it didn't come out well the big thinking was in there while a lot of recent things I've watched has felt skin deep at best

Well, I'm glad it wasn't just me, lol ... I figured some people must have enjoyed it otherwise they'd have left it at one season!

If this thread is anything to go by, me and my other half were the only people on the planet that actually enjoyed Picard S1 and 2, and didn't like S3 as much.

In that spirit, if a film is made I look forward to enjoying it even if I'm the only one.

They did do a beginner's guide to Mastodon after Musk infested Twitter, but it does seem like they don't consider Lemmy or Mastodon to be "serious"

Do you know if Retroarch has controller support?

I love radio control trucks, but not for competition or to go fast. I like taking them for a walk like one might walk a dog ... it's just fun and a bit silly.

It's worth noting that Madrid, having been the center of the Franco regime, has a right-leaning populace and the Vox party has pushed things further in a similar fashion to the Trumpistas in the US.

I believe this is lashing out because the central government is socialist and has made recent decisions which the fascists don't like.

Rules for assault and domestic violence are a bit of a mess in Spain in general, there's some things that just aren't covered.

Thanks, I'll give this one the chop!
