  1. I took your reply as incentive to clean mine up a bit. It needed to be done. Before and after shots.
  2. I'm mostly envious of your shocking lack of desktop icons. I've avoided showing off my desktop wallpapers because the icons consume 1/3 of the screen. That's the way I like it, though.
  3. Those look nice! I'll just never understand why Atari skipped the end labels on 5200, 8-bit computers, and Jaguar.
  4. The machine is out and hooked up. I'll try to play sometime soon!
  5. Oh wow, this is a special one. I'm going to put my Jaguar away and get the TG-16 out for this. Great choice.
  6. I had this exact thought since the very first "demo" video was released. It totally looks like something on a phone or tablet. I didn't say anything for fear of being lambasted by the zealots.
  7. "Yesterday's Enterprise" was such a classic. It felt like the moment that TNG finally turned the corner into greatness.
  8. Two-Headed Ghost - silent but deadly
  9. I'm going to guess Enterprise C? Or whatever class of starship the C was?
  10. I've revised my review to be more specific by adding "if you don't like real Bud, skip this one".
  11. Beer Name: Athletic Brewing Upside Dawn, Athletic Brewing Run Wild Notes: This brand makes (I think) six different NA beers, and I've tried two. I want to try all six. What I think: The Upside Down is a pilsner, and it's pretty good. Not watery and very hoppy. Much more flavor than the Budweiser. However, the aftertaste isn't pleasant. Bitter. Run Wild is an IPA and it's very good. Nice flavor. I like it. Rating: Upside Dawn 🍺🍺 2 out of 5 Run Wild 🍺🍺🍺 3 out of 5
  12. Thank you for sharing those tips, @Doug.dryerlint17
  13. I was going to invest, but I found this bootleg version for $24.99. It's very refreshing!

  16. Next up is this one, which was a huge surprise. Beer Name: Budweiser Zero Notes: I scoffed at buying this, as it only comes in boxes of 12. I just assumed it would be terrible. Of note, I got this whole idea of trying NA beer from "Men's Health" magazine, and they actually rated this one best. What I think: This has been my favorite one so far. It tastes exactly like real Budweiser. Not watery at all. If you like a plain old American pilsner, get this one. My wife concurs with me and grabs one of these when we have pizza. She dislikes all of the others I've tried. If you are new to NA beer, you cannot go wrong with this one. (If you don't like American pilsner beers like Bud, skip this one). Rating: 🍺🍺🍺🍺 out of 5 (4)
  17. I think we have Beck's here too, and I will try it sometime. As far as a soda alternative, I've found the NA beer to be really refreshing and "different". I've even thought about showing up to a work zoom meeting with a tall frosty glass, but it would be hard to convince people it was non-alcoholic!
  18. Beer Name: Clausthaler Original NA Notes: Pale golden lager. Made in Germany What I think: It doesn't taste watered down at all. Very strong flavor, but more bitter than sweet. I'm no expert, but I'd call it "malty" and dry. I don't think I'd buy it again. Cool looking bottle, though. Rating: 🍺🍺 1/2 out of 5 steins. (2.5)
  19. Non-alcoholic beer. What's the point, right? I've been working from home exclusively for the last year now. I've given up soda. And I've gotten tired of plain water or iced tea at lunchtime, so I thought I'd give NA beer a shot. I'll post reviews of what I've tried so far here, and give them a 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 stein rating (out of 5). The basic review template: Beer Name: Notes: What I think: Rating:
  20. That one debtor that gets $100 per console is probably the straw that broke the camels back. There is simply no way to make money on this project. Debts are too large. Maybe those folks that bought the boxed software will have a valuable collector item in the future.
