/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

All this talk about flip phones, I almost forgot bag phones existed:
That reminds me of satchel charges from Red Faction.
Actually, looked it up and found it didn't resemble what I remembered (and was called the "remote charge" in the first game of the series): https://redfactionwiki.com/wiki/Remote_Charge
I remembered a green bag with an antenna sticking out of the top, very mildly visually reminiscent of your photo. Wonder what game that was.
You're thinking of the original half life. https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Satchel_Charge
That appears to be correct.
Thank you!
CoD: Modern Warfare (maybe MW 2?) had charges that looked like that, I think.
Thank you for the recommendation! I was not a fan of that series, so I don't think that was it.
DDG seems to mostly be recommending Deep Rock Galactic (which is a fantastic video game, but my memory is from the 90s or 00s, so I don't think it qualifies) and I'm not sure how many times I want the term "satchel charge" to show up in my search history.
My thoughts were GoldenEye, Red Faction or Duke Nukem, but unfortunately none of those appear to be correct.
Again, I appreciate the effort.
My dad had one of those. My mum decided it was dirty one day and put it in the washing machine.
Dad called too many of those 1-900 chat lines from the 90s?
