So the new Fairly Odd Parents series seems to be even worse than I thought. Poof makes an appearance as an adult, but his name is now Peri because apparently, "Poof" is a homophobic slur in some countries. Him appearing as an adult makes no sense because I thought fairies aged slowly, but he claims that he hasn't seen his parents in over 10,000 years, but it still doesn't make sense because he is godparenting Doug Dimmadome's grandson.

Butch Hartman REALLY got screwed.

@beardalaxy Well if it's something like (pre-BOTW) Zelda or Metroid, then you need 40-hours worth of unique items that allow you to progress throughout the adventure and you need to be really creative with said items. The only other way I know how to do it is just to have a complete open-world like GTA or the newer Zelda games where it is completely non-linear or has a bunch of side-quests.

@beardalaxy The only ways I can think of to change the battle formula is to have Paper Mario style quick time events during attacks or something really unique like Undertale. Games like Earthbound have quality-of-life features like the rolling hp mechanic. Chrono Trigger has battles take place on the actual map with characters moving around during battle. I remember hearing someone mentioned about having items as characters, but to me that sounds a lot like the basic concept of Pokemon.

That's my main gripe with turn-based RPGs. They are way too content focused. They could all run on the same game engine provided that the engine in question has a good enough scripting language (which is probably why RPG Maker exists). The other gripe I have is that they would probably be better as action-adventure games if they actually have solid gameplay, but I don't know if anyone is welling to play a 40-hour action-adventure game.

Most RPGs and (non-action) adventure games are examples of "I have a brilliant idea for a world and story, but I have zero ideas on actual game mechanics."

@BigDawg869789 This is why I wish independent filmmakers/TV producers would release their films or series on something like Vimeo (basically YouTube but with paid content) or even their own websites instead. There is a serious untapped market for DRM-free movies and TV shows.

@BigDawg869789 I just hate how it's a Netflix show and you know that Netflix will be on the social credit score train if they ever implement it in the west.

Someone just created a chip that fixes a video output flaw on the SNES.

States like Indiana, Louisiana, and Oklahoma have nullified CBDCs. Louisiana in particular has blocked any mandate coming from the WEF, UN, and the WHO.

He calls himself a Voluntaryist which is just another word for anarcho-capitalist. He talks about spontaneous order so he probably supports smaller communities with different political and economic systems. He normally talks about agorism as a praxis, but I think he is open to secession and nullification movements as well. He openly stresses that there is not a single solution, but multiple solutions need to be made.

@djsumdog @Diceynes @cjd Do you still have faith in state/local elections? I think a mass nullification movement could be a powerful tool.
