It's worth checking out Metropolis Street Racer and F355 Challenge if you're into driving games. Also Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX was really nicely done.

I loved my Dreamcast, such a pity it couldn't be developed further

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.

The thing is, driving a forklift is actually fun, with the steering at the back and levers to move the forks etc, so I can imagine competing with them would be great ... maybe the watching isn't so compelling though

He gets found out when, after an emergency where he uses a forklift to save a puppy, instead of embracing the puppy in a manly manner he tries to sneak away to keep his identity secret

For anyone who wants to get in training, GTA5 has working forklifts and pallets ;-)

I'm not even mad, that's impressive!

After passing my certification with ease, my instructor pointed out that women generally make better forklift drivers ... so, this would make sense in an animé about the cut-and-thrust world of competitive forklift driving ... which is also a thing BTW.

Start with series 3, that's where it was up to speed and you don't miss much

That could be said of a lot of things ... a great concept let down by lazy writing and poor casting. Yet these things get money thrown at them - great effects, lighting, locations, makeup, etc etc

Mmm, I know exactly what you mean. I'm tired of limp lead characters who just tick the boxes of a target demographic to self-insert into.

The Expanse suffered a bit from that (the main guy had all the magnetism of limp celery) but was saved because every single other character was genuinely interesting. Farscape had a much smaller cast, so there was no escape!

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
