yeah, that's mine too along with PointnClick adventures, my reflexes/reaction time are crap, so I can't really deal with all the minuet speed clicking
See, I'm also a shooter guy... I can adjust to twitch-shooting quite easily, but I prefer a more tactical and strategic shooting experience. The big thing for me is that all the "fast paced" games are just so incredibly shallow that I lose interest.

never really got into FPSs since the original wolfenstein 3D
To each their own... I'm a fan of Turn Based Strategy myself, but that's considered a niche genre.

As long as it explains the curses, it can't be bad can it?

He'd probably think it was an oversized scanner there to blind him and beat him up, then grow very attached very rapidly, then get pissed at DOG when he forces Gordon to go to Ravenholm.

Halo Master Chief... But only long enough to get pissed at the mandatory Microsoft account to even do singleplayer.

so how is the beer bug quarantine finding you?
Just bought Halo Master Chief Collection, and have been getting more and more pissed at the fact that it requires a Microsoft account just to play the singleplayer, even if I don't want to have achievements.

What part of my analysis is false?
I wasn't against Picard saving the survivors. I was saying he shouldn't have sent the drugs back with them AFTER rescuing them. If the Enterprise never showed up, the drugs would have burned up in the atmosphere (along with the survivors). I'm saying him giving back the drugs was the violation; the Enterprise's actions literally changed the course of history for planet A in a big way. Simply rescuing the survivors wouldn't change the course of history much, if at all.
He saw helping the addicts as violating the prime directive. Fine. The planet would have gone through hell and recovered in some fashion. You can argue he shouldn't have helped them, but then he ALSO interfered by giving them one last shipment that would never have made it otherwise.
The false part was that he had already violated the Prime Directive by saving them in the first place. It's well established that a distress call always trumps the PD.
After that, he has to do everything he can to have his presence have the least possible impact on the culture, not cause events to continue as closely as possible to what they had been. That meant that he had to send the drugs, because not doing so would actively put the Federation into their history books as "the bad guys that made us suffer" instead of as a footnote of "this one ship saved our crew, and then left". It's not just about making things continue as if they had never been there at that point, it's about having as little impact on the culture as possible.

And the overwhelming sense of dread is what overloaded her circuits.
So Data lied at the end when saying why she died... That's your theory?

For example, the admiral who manslaughtered Data's daughter by saying he was going to take her away to use her for Starfleet's interests, against the desire of her, her father, and Picard. He terrified her into death
That shows that Ross wasn't the only one to misremember the episodes they review... She literally had a critical error in her hardware that killed her, not fear.

That's a weird thing to ask...
You think Syria cares what Israel calls their government?China considers Mongolia a part of China, and you can see how they've treated Hong Kong and the "one country, two systems" thing they said they had going on there... If you're unaware, here's a nice "short" summary for you...

Also, the campaign has ingenious design that adds on the mechanic. You retain your fleet for the entire duration of the game, so while each mission may pose a different challenge, you're stuck with what you had from the previous mission and need to adapt.

Can't report them if you aren't allowed to test for it...

I have no idea what the provisioning file is nor what is it named, I barely just learned what a host file is

that's good (that's an improvement over 16)
Yeah, but then my modem glitched, and the provisioning file got corrupted to not allow access to any websites... Comcast support wasted an entire day trying to get my local IP address for no reason instead of just refreshing the provisioning file, all because their system said "nope, looks good from here". (they can do it manually, as I've had it done many times over the years) I had to do a really old trick to deliberately trigger my modem to wipe the provisioning file, and redownload it.
Now I'm getting full speeds for the download, and almost 19Mbps for upload... So Comcast customer service is absolute shit, but once the network is working, it's decent.

And now Comcast just did "scheduled maintenance" and my upload speeds are now in the 18Mbps range...

Neat! Too bad it wasn't finished... It could've been a big player.

I've always hated bullet hell games with a passion... If you have to move in a specific pattern to not die, there is no game, that's a button pushing challenge. A game gives you choices in your approach to winning.
