I take it back, looks rubbish.
It includes all our favourite FF characters, like... Shiroma???

I’ll never get the appeal of monster Hunter.
It's like FIFA, for Japanese people.

How do you remaster perfection?

I haven't played any of the Total War games, but I do have TW: Warhammer (the first one) in my library. If I wanted to give the series a go, is it worth starting at the beginning, or am I better off jumping into the sequel?

Gutting! That's half the fun.
Folding the little corners up to ensure all the beams are correctly aligned, it's like physics or summat.

I do a great ox cheek slow cooked multi hour ragu but am quite excited about a tin of glorified Heinz baby food.
I make a really good pizza at home. Hand-stretched soughdough base, carefully seasoned sauce, and whatever toppings you like. But I have a soft spot for Chicago Town pizzas, with their strange little microwave platforms.

Not sure where else to put this for. GOG have put a load of old Star Trek games up - Bridge Commander, Starfleet Command III, Hidden Evil and Away Team all for £8.39 each. Both Armada and Armada II are listed as coming soon as well.
Some really gems in there
I've never played a Star Trek game. What's the best?

In a show that features time travel, there's so much wrong with the sentence "We have three days, before the future is changed irrevocably."

Mate it was just some movies about punching robots.

I'm up for some falling Moon. Closest we'll get to a Seveneves movie.
EDIT: except, someone is apparently making a Seveneves film! Well, looks like we've got ourselves a classic Moon-off.

On the subject of good vegan pasties, I had one of these a few weeks ago, and I was so impressed I had to look them up:

Was that size limit a limitation of the engine? Or could the engine handle bigger levels, but id voluntarily restricted their levels to that size for some reason? (The reasons @Fry Crayola suggested sound plausible.)
Did modders come up with workarounds in order to make bigger levels?
It was never a technical limitation, as far as I can tell, there was never any such limit in the engine itself. I've read that it may have been for ease of development as Fry says, but then I'm sure id software had access to networked machines at the time, so I'm not sure what advantage chucking floppies around the office would have had. It may have been only a non-functional requirement stipulated in order to ensure performance on older hardware.

I was hoping this was going to be a thread about celebrating the ingenuity of deveopers working magic in order to overcome hardware limitations.
For example, regarding the recent remaster of Quake, did you know that originally each of its levels could not exceed 1.4MB in size? It's not quite clear why the size of a HD floppy was chosen, as Quake was released on CD, but I think it's fascinating id Software worked under that imposition. Having to tweak the level geometry in order to skirt under such an incredibly low threshold, and yet the end result was Quake, is truly an accomplishment.

A few places are reporting that various Star Trek series may be leaving Netflix next month. It's not clear if this is global, or only where Paramount+ (what used to be called CBS All Access) is available. Nor is it crystal clear whether it's a blanket migration of all Star Trek property, but TOS, VOY, and ENT seem to be confirmed.

That trailer started off pleasant enough, and the idea of wandering around a beautifully-realised Korean town sounds great. Then there were robots and everybody started dancing and I switched it off.
