@ArdainianRight It seems like we are going to have both WWIII and Civil War II simultaneously.

I really hope this is not the case.

Everyone should really try to set up a searx instance on their machines. There's only a few hundred users right now. If enough decent folks started running it and scraped a little piece of the Internet they care about (you can even set it up as a proxy server to scrape any site you've been to) then we'd have a search platform that, while imperfect, would at least actually have all the sites places like Google refuses to show.

@BigDawg869789 The first one aired exclusively on Paramount+ and it was a live action sitcom where Timmy went to college and gave his fairies to his younger cousins. Not only did it end after one season, but Paramount+ also delisted it, so there is no way to legally watch it anymore.

@berkberkman @BigDawg869789 Butch Hartman has been hinting at a Danny Phantom for years, but it seems unlikely as he has long left the studio to focus on his Christian cartoon. He stuck around as an executive producer for the first FOP reboot, though I'm unaware of his involvement with the recent one. Butch Hartman is a pretty controversial figure now so it's possible that Nick has cut ties with him completely.

There was also the Tranny Phantom shooting and one has to wonder if it destroyed any potential of a DP revival.

@BigDawg869789 Believe it or not, this is actually Fairly Odd Parents' SECOND reboot. The first one aired on Paramount+ two years ago and it contradicts this one. The FOP timeline has more branches than the Zelda timeline and it's insane.

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.

Despite what supporters of the monster state want you to believe, there are times when states push back against federal power and the supremacy clause doesn’t even apply. Learn about this powerful 10th Amendment tool called anti-commandeering.

@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.

We can’t rely solely on lawsuits and courts to protect us from the growing wave of anti-speech internet legislation. We need to let the lawmakers know that the public is becoming aware of their censorship plans—and won’t stand for them!

@PurpCat @reclaimthenet I'm kind of out of the loop about this Mr. Beast situation, but I'm starting to think it was a psyop made to get this bill passed.

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.
