Ah, that is so apt. Thank you for teaching me.

"On Earth, there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. Well, it's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the Demilitarized Zone, all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints β just people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not!"
Some of the best TV ever.
I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It's not so much the expense. It's the principle.
Thanks to the modding community we were able to play Mass Effect as if it were running on console many years before the Legendary Edition was available.
These days, for me the absolute minimum is full controller support due to the wife acceptance factor. She loved Dragon Age Inquisition so we tried to play Origins a couple years ago, and even though I'd cloned the displays, me sitting behind her at my computer instead of next to her on the couch was a deal breaker.
There are other plusses in terms of WAF, full voice narration and a good story being chief among them. There's a reason the only soulslike I've ever really played is Fallen Order. π
For me playing alone (which I almost never do anymore), one example I can think of is trying to go back to Dark Age of Camelot after playing WoW for a while. That was...painful.

Honorable mention to Dan Folgelberg - Same Old Lang Syne.
I remember reading a book when I was a kid called The Dog Days of Arthur Cane. I think the fairy was a witch doctor but basically the same idea. As I recall, Arthur saw the best and the worst of humanity during his predicament. Sadly no Wikipedia page for the author but the book is on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2006378.The_Dog_Days_of_Arthur_Cane
Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.
Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride
What the fuck is wrong with people? The whole world has gone insane.
Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.
I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.
I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.
