What episode/season/movie do you consider as the ending in an otherwise long running franchise, and Why?
  • I'm currently watching The Office Superfan Episodes (would recommend, if you haven't. They add a lot of new scenes and jokes that have cracked me the hell up) and I feel like I am progressively moving the "jumped the shark" line up every time I rewatch the show.

    At one point I thought it was around the time Andy got on the boat. Then around when Robert California came around. Then, when Michael left. Now I'm kinda feeling like the show has taken a significant change in tone at the point when the original corporate office is bought and cleaned out by Sabre. That's not to say that there aren't good episodes forward from here, but I literally feel like I'm not starting to watch the show "waiting for it to end"

  • Once ‘dead’ thrusters on the farthest spacecraft from Earth are in action again
  • I own the book! It's in the backlog -

    I'm currently working my way through the Dune series. I'm nearing the end of book 3 and then I'm going to take a break from Dune to read a few other books. Hail Mary may have to be next up

  • Game Developer Rule
  • Except that they are talking explicitly about games like Rollercoaster Tycoon and Doom. Full colored games with animations, soundtracks, the whole thing (and aged pretty well too, imo)

  • Recommendations for "girly" games?
  • Even as a guy, I love the new Hello Kitty game.

    My significant other loves it even more. Lmao

    Hello Kitty Island Adventure is similar to a very relaxed cross between Animal Crossing and Breath of the Wild. There are elements that depend on time passing in the real world such as socializing, holidays, and getting certain resources, and there are also a lot of very funny and cute storylines featuring all the Sanrio characters. You don't need to be initiated into them to have a nice time (I sure wasn't).

    There's no combat, but there are many other systems and areas to unlock that make the game feel deeper than it originally looks.

    It also has multiplayer, if that's something you'd use!

  • What's a cancelled game you really miss?
  • Any sort of sequel to the Tribes series. Talk about a franchise that had, at one point, a massive amount of potential that was completely squandered!

    It has momentum (the franchise, not just the gameplay mechanic. Lol) and the visuals and world lended itself to be turned into something with great storytelling of they really wanted to make it into a story as well. Plus, it was fun a hell!

    Ascend is technically still online, but any sequel that gets "announced" every one in a while is a lost cause from the start

  • What's a cancelled game you really miss?
  • I never played that game, but I was about to... I literally installed it, but didn't play it, and it got canceled and shut down very shortly after. (I was a bit out of the loop, I guess)

    I still have it late in my Steam library, so I think about it a decent bit

  • What's your superpower?
  • I can do this as well. Pretty easily too. It feels like I can pick a direction to look in and then I just look behind the thing my vision is centered at. If I go a bit slow, I can look around the room and keep my vision somewhat blurry

  • What's your superpower?
  • Idk your wife, but I would feel like that's a very intimate connection to share that you have with her. I could see it going a number of ways, of course. But what's kept you from sharing with her, overall? If you don't mind me asking

  • What's your superpower?
  • I remember I was able to hear them as a kid. It's been a while since I've interacted with one, so who knows if it's even likely that i still have that acuteness of hearing, but I do remember it. Some good amount of years ago I found a crt monitor and turned it on and the dimming and slightly-static clicking sounds sent me back

  • Poll 84: Stackable Clues & More
  • I liked seeing this. For a second I considered voting 'no', because it's limited to just a few clues at a time, but I think specifically because they are rolling it back to a 3 min timer I am thinking that this is a good move. I was worried because it being such a limited number of stackable scrolls, people would prob juggle regardless after the change, but it being reduced to 3 mins convinced me. I can't imagine people would find it worth it to juggle 15 different clues while on a slayer team or whatever every 3 mins instead of just doing 2-5 of them as they get them

  • Poll 84: Stackable Clues & More
  • I appreciate the tokens. If they want to push for clues closer to their previous status of "a fun diversion to break you away from the current grind" it's cool to have a way to occassionally skip a step that would have you consider dropping a half-solved clue. And for those that clue-juggle because they can't do too many steps on their account, there's some qol.

    I feel like i'd be a bit against it if they didn't come FROM caskets to start. What's getting you to be unsure about them?

  • should i start a new ironman?
  • You could always drop-trade everything from the GIM to your main and the split from the group (or just keep playing that acc normally and go for more goals. Kill two, birds with one stone

    This is coming from the guy currently playing on 4 accounts. Lol. Gl!

  • Rule solid
  • Fits the archetype well. Medusa is a story often interpreted as one of defuse assault of a person on the lower end of a power discrepancy. She probably hated men and wanted to be by herself in the end

    Would have been annoyed in this situation.

    Also, she was hot enough to make Athens jealous. The Greek pantheon was vain as absolute Tartarus, but that has to mean something
