  I’ll go one further: I’ve never liked GTA.

  Most of that is a mismatch of the series to my tastes in games. It just takes a lot for me to like open-world games, and GTA has never hit the mark.

  The other small part is just my preteen self being resentful that GTA3 was the game that brought all my classmates into the hobby, instead of a game that I actually liked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lower Decks: Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  My story is a bit different than others. I am not a Trekkie, and most of what I know about the franchise is from cultural osmosis and from catching the odd rerun of TNG in the 90s.

  I have, however, been a junior officer in a ship, and much of Lower Deck’s content struck a chord because I’ve been there. I’ve been assigned the banal tasks, I’ve argued with other crew members on an opposite watch, and I’ve had to fight for the attention of the senior officers.

  Disclaimer: I am not encouraging you to join the navy just to enjoy LD. That would be silly.
