Do you know if Retroarch has controller support?

I love radio control trucks, but not for competition or to go fast. I like taking them for a walk like one might walk a dog ... it's just fun and a bit silly.

I went and did a search, looking for cute tanks and I have to say there's a lot of good choices which come down to personal preference, the Luchs included.

Of course, this isn't including Tankettes, which are almost all incredibly cute.

You may be right, the more of Voyager I watch the more flexible each character appears in order to fit around what the story requires. Apart from Tom Paris repeatedly being an idiot, that's a constant.

We can agree to disagree and enjoy it on our own terms I guess. If I have been dismissive of your argument I would like to apologise, that was not my intention.

Not an obsession, I tuned out of watching Voyager when it was first on TV and I'm partway through a complete watch now ... she's simply my favorite character from the show, and given that Star Trek fans have a pleasant and active community here I thought it was a good choice. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Being interpreted as smug was not my intention, I thought I was simply stating my opinion with equal force to the poster above. How should I have responded?

Would you like 1 maglev train for 10km, or 10 extra trains to make better use of existing infrastructure?

Nice photo!

Also, I do love the Delta (and the Ebre in general, travelled a lot of it's length this year up in Aragón)

I appreciate your writeup, but I'm curious as to what interesting things Godzilla 2014 tried, because I just watched that and came away thinking it had nothibg redeeming in the story or script (though the producions values were great)

I have to admit, that is easily the cutest tank I've ever seen!

(I've seen Girls Und Panzer, and read everything Tank Girl, so I'm an expert!)

Picard was written by different people who needed different things from the characters, however there were occasional moments where her previous manerisms showed through.

A feral child who was not ASD could have been portrayed like Mowgli (or, for a more Star Trek reference point, Tuvok when he had brain damage). Seven gradually learns how to navigate human interaction (and how to smile, for instance) through studying and is surprised when it's occasionally useful, a non-ASD character could have learned through interpretation of people's reactions and would have sought socialisation rather than peace and quiet in a neatly ordered cargo bay (I'm led to believe that's how it works anyway).

You're completely right, there is obviously no deeper meaning to presenting a character who is a mature adult yet requires structured classes in order to learn how human beings socialise.
