Don't 100% sure whether it is or not. Also, I couldn't tell you anything about it since I haven't watched it as someone who doesn't play League.

Absolutely. I didn't realize they did more of a story arc until I ended up seeing clips on yt. I definitely remember some of the lore episodes but I definitely wasn't smart enough to piece together any lore. I might have to suffer through the occasional "lol random" episodes just to see the lore through.

Cartoons went from the majority of them having a unique enough art style to distinguish them from one another. If you take a silhouette of heads/faces from cartoon characters in the 90s and 2000s ( don't have experience with prior decades besides the standard MGM cartoons, Jetsons/Flintstones, or things like Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry ) you'd be able to tell the characters apart, even if you don't even know who they are. Try doing that with most all 2010s and upwards new cartoon characters and you'll get the exact same ugly, generic, and sanitized bean shaped head/face/smile imaginable.

There have definitely been some examples that might deviate a little from that mold, like Summer Camp Island, but those are far and few between anymore.

Also, for the most part, I would consider the overall quality as having been declining as well. I haven't seen a lot of shows, so my experience should be taken with a huge lump of salt, but besides shows like Steven Universe, Summer Camp Island, etcetera, the storytelling hasn't been as tight ( all of this in my opinion ), they're banking on you not actually paying attention to the show itself so they can cheap out on every single step, art style is being sanitized and overly simplified to cut costs, and jokes are all devolving into "LOL RANDOM", but that might have been a 2010s thing and I hope it's dead.

It also doesn't help that fans and fandom culture over time have become worse as well as you'll usually find a vocal minority who will kick and scream while doxxing you because you ship the wrong 2 fictional characters together or don't believe their exact highly specific headcannon, regardless of whether you are the creator or nor. Though, I'm debating of getting rid of this section because it might bleed too much into social media.

The only reason I had my bluray player connected to the internet was because the yahoo who dropped it off at the thrift store didn't bother signing out of their pandora account, so I could listen to ad free music. Otherwise I would never connect to the internet since all the old applications ( including a blockbuster app of all things ) probably wouldn't even work.

Knowing this could happen, I will definitely be sure to completely disconnect from the internet the next time I turn that thing on since last time I tried using pandora it wasn't working.

I feel called out. Should definitely make an alias or two that auto CDs me the amount of times I need...

I don't get angry about a post using AI images, but it definitely tells me what "artist" to avoid if it's on an art community and helps tell me who couldn't even bother looking up images online or cannot be bothered to do even poorly drawn images for memes.

Ever since I first heard it a few months ago, it has never left my mind for even a second.

Sadly this great song was tied to a spin-off series killing game.

The only time I have ever heard the word copacetic and only reason I know it exists is because of a song that probably only dinosaurs and hipsters listen to anymore: Bound For The Floor.

Other than that, I've never heard it used in any context. So I'mma agree that it's definitely an old person word ( or a pretentious "I'm BeTtEr ThAn YoU" kinda word ).

They may be dead, but we still have some amazing alternative OS's that exist that, as far as I'm aware, are still being updated. First thing that came to my mind was AROS ( Amiga Research Operating System that had to change the name to AROS Research Operating System ).

I personally don't use it since I don't use Amiga software, but it's still really cool. Under no circumstances would I recommend it as a daily driver because any software based around Amiga is purely hobby at this point, but it's still cool to check out.

Closest I can think of was maybe a little less than 2 decades ago now. I vaguely remember it, but some time after my grandpa had died, our landline got a call. I was in the room with my grandma and mother and my mom went to get the phone. There was no number, but instead just his name. Pretty sure she answered, but nobody replied. The line was dead.

My mom swears it was something like my grandpa, in the afterlife, calling to tell us that everything's gonna be okay despite his recent passing, but I don't buy into that kinda religious spiritual stuff

Other than that, I have memories from when I was younger that I cannot confirm or deny because the only people I know who might have an answer probably wouldn't remember and I'd feel real weird asking them about these memories completely out of the blue. One is me supposedly going on a trip with the family of one of my older brother's friend's family to a city/town ( don't remember name ) in a nearby county ( name not included for obvious reasons ) in the same state and me being in the basement in a house we stopped at for some reason. That's a very vague memory. Same with an unconfirmed memory where I swear I went with the mother of this friend to some berry picking place and was stuck in their van once we got back to their place, with nobody coming to help me get out. Very vaguely remember that I couldn't open the van door for some reason. I'd probably chalk that one up to me being a kid and time moving by relatively slow from my perspective, making it seem like forever when it was probably just a couple minutes of me trying to get out.

Both vague and highly unconfirmed, but I am more concerned about the memory of a mystery road trip that I somehow ended up involved in that my parents don't remember. Wouldn't expect them to since they weren't there, but the fact they don't remember this supposed trip happening adds to the mystery.

Just the other day I figured out the Plants vs Zombie fangame has not only a community server ( discord, sadly ), but they also have a demo out! I had an old build using an old engine that has more levels, but I downloaded and played the new demo and it's amazing so far. Officially called 植物大的僵尸: Universe ( Plants vs Zombies: Universe in English ).

Totally looking forward to the games completion ( assuming neither EA or Talkweb don't destroy it ) because it's a very ambitious project trying to take content from, if I remember correctly, pvz1 international, China's exclusive pvz1 journey to the west edition, 2 international, pvz2 Chinese edition, Online, and the card game ( not 100% sure if I'm right on that one being added ) and rolling it into a single game.

Demo currently gives you Emperor's Mausoleum from Online and Ancient Egypt (the pvz Online version), with just base levels for now. Minigame side levels, which are present in the old build I have, aren't currently available in the latest demo they have linked in their discord. As a big enough fan of the non spin-off titles, this makes me very gitty.

Otherwise, more dungeon clawler and that's about all for non-mobile games. I did try modding Sonic Lost Worlds on PC, but I can't with my setup.

1. Definitely gonna keep my subscriptions as minimal as I can, like I currently am: just a VPN. Obviously I have a few others I'll need in the future like utilities, internet, and phone, but those are the bare minimum you need since you can scrape by without paying a dime for content thanks to piracy, so long as you are careful.
2. I have a couple of ones that I'd say are both high on the list ( no idea which is higher because they're both pretty annoying to me ).

The first is that when I do dishes at home, I put certain things a very specific way when filling the dishwasher and putting things away, which is why I absolutely hate when other people do dishes. I'll deal with other people doing the dishes, but then I always feel like I gotta go and put things back where they belong when I'm not the one to put the dishes away.

The second is more furry fandom specific. So, when it comes to fursuits, some people might ditch the fursuit head and just maybe wear the paws or other pieces of it if it's not a single piece costume. My gripe is specifically that: not wearing the head. I don't care if you poodle ( wear a partial and show some skin ), talk in suit, or whatever, but I think it's extremely disrespectful to the character your suit is based off of, whether it's your fursona, OC, an adopt, liberty suit, whatever, to not wear the head at a bare minimum. It's why my opinion the bare minimum you should do for a fursuit commission should be the head.

I imagine if you told these same people that AI slop is for losers, their heads would explode and you'd be called all sorts of colourful words. It definitely, in my experience, feels like AI slop enjoyers aren't the most stable. Though, my experience hasn't been too much since I actively avoid them if possible.

I've got at least 2 on my desk. Both from my new phones ( the one I accidentally fried in a lake and the replacement I got ). They're both connected to some little piece of magnet strip that I have no idea where it came from.

Calabash Brothers ( the original from either the 70s or 80s, can't remember which decade ). Still looking for the series that came after ( and also the 2010s version ) with ENG subtitles just to see how insane they are in comparison.

Original contains death in a couple different ways at least, and some weird scenes like one of the characters losing their powers by essentially having magic strike his eyes or 2 characters that look like minors ( but probably aren't ) getting drunk and passing out off of magically conjured wine.

Out of the ones I've seen, The Cat Returns. It's not the most cinematic, amazing, fantastical movie like Spirited Away, Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, etcetera, but it's one I really like regardless.

Though, if we're talking about the opposite, Earwig and the Witch is at the very bottom.

Look! He left a publicly available email address to spam! You know what to do, people!

I remember reading an article about an airport staff person ( possibly TSA? ) laughing about a little girls name. Same exact name. Crazy stuff that any parent could start their children at square -3 upon being born.

If we're talking strictly the games, just a about any place from gens 8 and 9 because they're either sparsely populated in a way makes them way too hollow, boring, and pathetic, or you can't even interact with what little NPCs or majority of the buildings that are in the town, which leads to the same problems. To me that's more depressing than any lore could ever build for a town.

Though, that's only my opinion, as I would much rather prefer things like gen 1-4 where every single city/town you can enter just about every single building and talk to the NPCs and they'll have a line or two of unique dialogue that really helps me feel like the world is lived in by people and not NPCs.

I haven't been playing it much, but Chuzzle Deluxe and Mahjong (the match 2 tiles, clear board version).

I don't know the exact specific version of Mahjong my grandma used to have on her laptop because it's generic and has 3 trillion different clones/versions of it, but the reason I haven't gotten rid of the KDE version on my laptop is because it reminds me, in a way, of a long time ago when I'd spend time with her. Same with Chuzzle.

I had a pretty good time earlier on my laptop just spending a little bit of time in the zen chuzzle mode and it was great. 10/10 would recommend.

I also learned earlier today that there was a Christmas skinned version and there's a non-EA Chuzzle 2 mobile game out, but as of now the Christmas version isn't available ( as of May 15, 2025 ) unless you pirate it.
