IT DIDN'T GET JINXED
My new retro purchase is this arcade cabinet which formerly stood in an Arbroath pub. The 1942 arcade PCB was included.
I spent a good part of yesterday making space and shuffling things around for it.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour silhouetted by an orbital sunset as it approaches the ISS.
As the Sun is fully behind the Earth, the Earth is a silhouette, but the atmosphere is able to scatter light around the planet. This is why it's not completely dark immediately after sunset. (1/5)

An easy purchase decision when both Dino Crisis games are DRM-free on GoG but not on Steam.
I <3 Heroic Launcher for making playing GoG, Epic & Amazon games easy and it's been a while since I allowed myself a little treat.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
