Happy belated birthday @Justin 🎂🥳

@MistaMaddog -  It's a decent on-rails shooter for what it is but has very little connection to the original. I like the art style and the static scenes used to deepen the lore.  In terms of gameplay, it owes a lot to Panzer Dragoon and also put me in mind of Elemental Gearbolt for some reason.  It's definitely a fun pick-up & play experience and worth a look.  Just don't expect it to feel like HSW's Yars'.  For that, the Recharged series version is a better choice.

I have next Thurs/Fri off, so I'm going to spend some time with this and Yars' then.  Thank you for the reminder!
 

Epic event. This should be a fun one that everybody can join in on 

STOP YELLING!  🙂

It still works!
Be aware that the code is cap sensitive. I initially entered all the letters in lower case because I couldn't be bothered to turn on all caps 😂 and it didn't work.

Welcome back, Rick! It's been a busy October for me, too. I feel like I'm still trying to catch up 😂

Well, the cruise lines offer starlink now.  It's expensive and from what I hear, not great.  And to be frank, cutting that tie is a good thing to do to decompress and really relax.  I didn't miss it at all. 

My condolences to your friend.  It is a difficult thing to lose a parent. 

It is really difficult, but fun. 
And the final "death" animation is pretty incredible. 
 

Great collection and love the photos! I should take similar photos of my collection. I am going to be moving my 7800 and 5200 collection in the near future (changing rooms).

At a bare minimum, you can change the Windows Update preferences to do updates outside of your active hours.  Like at 2am or something. 

You guys go outside?!? 😂 The giant window where my desk is set up is always closed with the shade down. I try to stay inside as much as possible. I'm delicate 🌻
We've been in the mid-70s in Seattle. Looks like we should drop a few degrees next week. Where's the rain?

💯 Completely agree.  And the high pollen count has been brutal on the allergies. 
 

12%? 😮

WOW I had no idea! THANK YOU @RickR! The Master System and Game Gear are very similar - can the Genesis Everdrive run Game Gear games also? Can you run Game Gear games on a Master System Everdrive?

Wow, thanks, Rick! I had been thinking of picking up a SMS console, but I will put away that idea. And it sounds like I don’t even need a Powerbase—nice!
