Just a heads up, idk if you knew but in 2016 and 2017 they released a few new seasons. All just as good as the original stuff if you ask me.

Is this from Trigger Happy TV? Because it looks identical to the stuff that show used to do. I loved that show so much.

I agree completely. Thats why it needs to fail now and fast. If it collapses fast enough there may not be enough time to push the alternative. Stuff like that needs to be a slow adoption for it to work. If the plan is to obvious people will reject it for multiple reasons. I dont think they will have enough money to waste to prop that plan up. Thats just my opinion though, and I hope it’s at least somewhat correct.

Good, more of this everywhere please. If nothing sells the prices gotta tank eventually.
- Comment on A $40,000-per-Year AI School With No Teachers Is Opening in Oklahoma This August 1 week ago:
Idk how anyone who is a parent would believe sending their kid to a giant experiment would be the best thing for them. Then take into consideration this costs 40k and I can’t think of anyone who is paying that much for higher education would ever think this is the best option available for the price. I hope it fails as hard as I see it fail in my head.
Also the comments about how they won’t pay teachers like they pay AI is an understatement. AI took over so fast and shoved in peoples faces that a lot of people are just realizing your not saving any money by replacing people since the AI as a whole cost more than all the individuals you let go! Its like they missed the memo that it needs to be cheaper for most companies to try it but instead it cost a fortune to do worse work and hold no accountability if something does go wrong.
- Comment on Only 7 PlayStation games have sold over 100,000 physical copies in the US this year, says analyst, as commenters demand discs without buying them 1 week ago:
I thought it was proven that during the Sony leaks it was found that they padded the numbers of physical copies sold and presented them in ways to benefit their stance.
Second, of course these numbers are going to be much lower if all you do is push digital over anything else and lower how many copies are even made making them harder to find and then not producing more to meet the demand.
Third, if your only selling keycode in box or a disc that just downloads the entire game instead of having the content on it then a lot less people will be willing to buy that as well.
If they want a true comparison they need to make the playing ground fair first, but we all know they love seeing this so it supports the one thing they keep preaching which is lower numbers. I know I am absolutely one of the statistics here. I purchased every game up until covid. I had a hard time finding a game that I absolutely wanted to play day 1 so I gave in and brought it digital. I caved more and more due to convienence, plus I absolutely do not see the point of buying key in box or game with download. Until they change that I can’t see the point of buying physical anymore. I would love to if it was.

Only 1 point I can make is it’s rare but there are still some that you can buy physical and still play it right away without internet. The newest one I can think of is The Adventures of Elliot. From the demo I played It’s really good if you like older style Zelda games.

It’s still a silly question because who would even think SpongeBob would be close to public domain anyway. It’s the lifetime of the creator plus 70 years. Were no where close to this ever happening and the only stuff we are even seeing now are crazy old.
- Comment on The pinnacle of Commonwealth culture. The trifecta of kids entertainment. 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇬🇧 1 week ago:
My kids went through the same shows (they are 4 years apart) plus others. My 2nd kid absolutely loved bluey and was the first thing she found entertaining on tv and i was like well thats a win! She loved the music which was the hook. Sadly we watched it so much we seen it all many times and she moved onto other things. Barely watch it these days. Still wondering when the next season is coming!
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE - Pixel Trailer 1 week ago:
Octopath is owned by Square Enix as well so idk about that. I am happy they are finally doing this, I’ve been asking for this since before octopath but once i saw octo I just wanted to see it more. Personally I think they should break the series into 2. The main one continuing to do whatever it is they are doing, and then a classic style series like this but completely new stories and just continuing to do the old school way while improving the systems to be more modern. I feel like they would have better luck pushing that these days over a truly new FF sadly.

Yeah they did, it’s called Octopath Traveler! Lol, I am still looking forward to this though.

I would like to think a lot. Just because some are going this route doesn’t mean all of them are. I have played a lot of games with some new game mechanics that werent around and it will continue to happen.

- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 2 weeks ago:
Maybe have a new rule for shorter games, like if its reasonable to complete the game normally in under 5 hours then the 2 hour window should be 1 hour or even 30 minutes. Idk how games are submitted but it should be an option at that time on how long the game is or a question about if its over or under x hours long so they know how to treat the game for this policy.
- Comment on The End of Ownership. Sony’s announcement has fans worried they might never truly own their beloved games. 2 weeks ago:
Im sorry if this sounds cold, because I agree with you, but I feel like it would take ALOT to ever get something like this off the ground let alone profitable enough to make sure it survives. It would take a massive injection of money by the biggest companies to create something that people would even look twice at sadly.
The closest thing to what you are proposing would be the failed OUYA console back in like 2013. It didnt invest in physical media, but it did want a store where indie developers can market exclusive games with the same hopes you had where it would get big enough to gain the attention of bigger companies. I invested in the kickstarter and had one, it was cool but needed a lot of work and fizzled out when it became clear that they were not going to make money off that model as there were not enough quality games being made to keep it afloat. On top of this the handful of really good games just ended up being ported to Steam, Switch, and even PS or Xbox which meant why bother at all buying it on OUYA. I think the biggest successful game that they had first was Towerfall.

It was definitely a talking point for a bit. It was looked into and proven incorrect. It was most likely always a lie to further discourage people on the fence from giving up gas cars. I’m sure it had an impact on some people out there so it probably worked.

- Comment on Interesting bathroom design 3 weeks ago:
If I do go through with it I will be informing people it is a number 1 toilet only! I used to host poker games and the basement was the best spot. The only problem was no bathroom so they would go upstairs and risk waking my wife and now kids by doing so. I wanted it for that convenience basically and also for myself when I hang out down there. Definitely do not want it to be for number 2’s for the reasons you stated. If you need to do that then upstairs it is!
- Comment on Interesting bathroom design 3 weeks ago:
My friend had something like this in his basement and it was hilarous. That was like 20 years ago. Now today I was looking at possibly having a small bathroom put in our basement and realized exactly why it was built like that for the first time! You cant have the toilet lower than the sewage pipes, otherwise you need to put in a pump system which if it fails at some point could mean more issues. So they probably used the height to avoid needing that.
- Comment on How does a teenager learn to "eat out" a women without doing it like a dog at a water bowl? 3 weeks ago:
As others have said, yes she will most likely communicate with you, but if you are both young then she might also not know this yet either so encourage it. Sometimes its not even talking but she will guide you with how her body moves or her hands as well.
Another nice touch that I havent seen mentioned here is dont forget you have hands and using them will only help more. It doesnt have to be right away, but then start with each hand on each side and gently move them up and down the outside of her legs and work your way up to her chest. After that you can sometimes work one hand and finger into the mix while your still down there, but it’s not necessary all the time and sometimes she may not even want that. Its all about listening.

I also have had issues with catbox that I could not figure out. I believe it’s DNS related and being blocked by the one I use. I tried setting up a local entry on my firewall but that had limited success as well probably due to the multiple IPs used.
