So this goes back to the 50s and 60s, that I wasn't expecting. I guess CN isn't to blame at all.

People believed it before the 90s...

So that mentality started way further back than I thought.

Just as the title says, do you think CN is to blame for people thinking cartoons and anime are only for small kids?

why can't you do it now

I don't have the required qualifications to enter University. I still need 3 A Levels and GCSE to enter Science.

In year 2025 I will be able to enter University and start trying to get my degree. I find it annoying that I have to wait until year 2025 to get the required qualifications though.

If Microsoft allowed Steam on Xbox, that would be so cool. Having Xbox library + Steam library would be huge.

Sort of how Steam Deck allows Windows OS on it.

I find these topics hilarious. If consoles failed to exist these games would not come to PC, because they wouldnt be made in the first place.

PC fanboys really think Microsoft and Sony would be 3rd party developers if consoles didnt exist

Microsoft is Windows for PC and Xbox for console. There are games that you can buy on Microsoft store that works on both PC and Xbox, just only 1 purchase.

Sega makes games for PC and console, they didn't stop making games when their Dreamcast failed.

Sony has made exclusive games for mobile phones. They made some of their exclusive games available on PC.

You're actually wrong about that.

Any PSOne game that you purchased on PSP/PS3/Vita that winds up on PS4/PS5 is automatically yours.

I know, because I downloaded Wild Arms, Jumping Flash and Ape Escape after the update.

https://primagames.com/news/psone-classics-and-psp-game-purchases-to-work-on-ps5

Also, players who have previously purchased the digital version of select games from the original PlayStation and PSP generation will not have to make a separate purchase or sign up to PlayStation Plus to play these titles on PS4 or PS5. When these titles are released for PS4 and PS5, players can head to PlayStation Store and download a version for the consoles at no extra cost if they already own the digital version of the title. Some of the titles will also be available for individual purchase.

I didn't know that, I guess I was unlucky the PS3 PSN games I bought didn't make it to the PS4.

I had these games:

Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Fighters
Final Fantasy VII
Crash Bandicoot 1/2/3
Spyro 1/2/3

None of these games were available on PS4. The Final Fantasy Vii PS4 was different, meaning the one I had couldn't be play on the PS4 and needed to rebuy.

Why are PC gamers so obsessed with people owning consoles? I hardly ever see console gamers giving a shit about PC games.

I can name 1 member that give so much trouble, even goes out of his way to go to the PC board even though he has no interest in PC.

DarkRoast posted...

PS5 and PS4 both have access to PS1 and PS2 games, albeit a limited number of them.

If they got added to the PS4/PS5 that would require repurchase, even if they bought the games from the PSP/PS3 PSN Store.

DepreceV2 posted...

Do you think the majority of gamers have this kind of money laying around?

People that wants to play online on console, they have to pay $60 per year, while those same games on PC cost $0. This applies to games that can play with different platform users.

Plus Epic is always giving away free games each week or daily on special occasions. Steam and GOG offers free games.

MrKapowski posted...

Which of these do you think consoles can't do?

PS4/PS5 still can't play any games from PS1/PS2/PS3 gen. PSP and PS3 PSN Classic games can't be played on the PS4/PS5, such as original Spyro and Crash Bandicoot an example.

PC and PS3 games from the same generation such as Sonic Transformed, Sonic Generation, Sonic Adventure, etc, they can still be played on PC. PS4/PS5 can't do that.

Didn't they remove browser from the PS5?

yellowfin tuna steak

When I made this topic I was thinking about meat only. But thanks for mentioning that, I like fish food also.

All those sounds like good tasting meat. Maybe I can cook different meat and see which one I prefer.
Here are the meat so far.

ribeye
Filet mignon
flat iron steaks
tenderloin
NY Strip

I am curious to know what is the best steak, like an example the softest and tastest steak. The reason I ask is so I know which steak to buy, so I can cook it myself. Then check recipe how to cook that recipe.

some people prefer the comfort of sitting on the couch in front of a TV, grab a controller and game as much as they want.

People can do that with PC, playing on the couch with their controller. They can hook their PC to a TV and monitor.
A person has the option to use keyboard + mouse + controller.
I always use controller when playing my games on PC.

Playing console cozied up in bed > playing PC hunched over my keyboard while I install big booty mods

You can do that with a PC also playing in bed.

A lot of people prefer having a system that will run games fine for many years without having to upgrade and tinker with parts to keep up. Also a lot of people have been console gaming online with friends for a while and wanna stick with what their buds are gaming on.

I have the Nvidia GeForce 1080Ti and I can still run modern games without any problem. People don't need to constantly upgrade to play the latest games. Console has things like PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, doesn't mean they need to upgrade.

Although to play online people have to pay subscription on console, while those same games cost $0 on PC. Monster Hunter World and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 on PC we can play, while on console like Xbox and Playstation requires $60 per year.

If a person wants to play online on console for the whole generation, it would be $60 * 7 years = $420 to play online.

There is a reason to shut down CN, when they give cartoons a bad name. They give a bad impression what the majority of cartoons are like.

CN has no respect for their animator and viewers, so even more reason to shut down.

Hayame_Zero posted...

That's the case with most cable channels

Sorry but CN doesn't get a free pass, assuming other networks are doing it also. They should be trying to make their network good.

CN in the past had variety of cartoon and anime. They allowed any time length for any cartoon and anime, it could be 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes per episode.

Dragon Ball Super is huge, but since it is anime and 20 minutes then no it won't be on CN. Other anime that really popular still nothing.
DC cartoons are still popular, but they get cancelled on CN or don't make it on CN at all.

Right now CN only allows 10 minutes cartoons and no cartoon can exceed 10 minutes per episode.

Just look at the cartoon board and see how CN continue to have terrible time schedule and CN cancelling cartoons just because. Then CN giving some cartoons trouble and doing whatever they want to sabotage.

All I can say is CN is a terrible network.

Anything that is CN exclusive cartoons, no way I will watch. CN will just screw around too much. Last CN cartoon I watched was Steven Universe and the insane amount of hiatus was crazy. That channel stopped watching it many years ago.

CN has no respect for their animators and they have no respect for their viewers at all.
CN just sabotage anything they don't like, especially DC high quality cartoon so they make excuse that no one watches it. The only DC cartoon they don't sabotage or spam so much is TTG, which is low quality garbage.

The only reason CN is surviving nowaday is due to their name only, nowadays they are just a shell of their former self. They surviving due to nostalgia, for how good they were before, not because of how good they are now.

CN used to be the best, while now CN is just pathetic.

Some wanted to make their cartoon 20 minutes for special episode, which CN denied. The fact that 20 minutes is special is dumb.
The animator of Kids Next Door wanted to make a sequel, which CN denied.
Many cartoon got cancelled due to CN decisions in sabotage.

Mibahlzitch posted...

Do kids still enjoy it? Not sure if we are really the target audience.

Kids like Pokmon, kids buy those merchandise and games. Yet CN removed it.

CN doesn't care about target demographic or quality.

As for why I care that CN has become garbage? I guess I don't like the idea that one of the best channel has become garbage.

Edit there are cartoons that animator wanted to make, which CN didn't allow like the sequel of Kids Next Door.

g0ldie posted...

I have no real opinion, since I'm not a part of the target demographic.

but if kids like how it's set up, then I don't think it should close down.

One doesn't have to be the target demographic to say if it is good or bad. I know many kids in the target demographic that finds CN bad, they just watch anime online and read manga.

CN gives cartoons a bad name.

Haven't watched CN in many years or decade. I quit around Ben 10 Reboot happened or PPG Reboot.

DocileOrangeCup posted...

How do cartoons get canceled because of it?

CN give certain cartoons extremely bad schedule like only air on Saturday at 06:30. Basically limited time slot.

Then there is also not airing certain cartoons and no rerun for a long time, basically CN trying to sabotage.

Then maybe return without notice.

The question is do you believe CN should close down? You can give your reasons why it should close down.

In my opinion I believe yes it should close down. It is just a shell of it former self, everything about CN is bad. The only DC cartoon they have is TTG, they don't have other DC cartoons.

No anime, only cartoons that are 10 minutes per episode, no super heroes cartoon, cheap low quality cartoon, awful schedule, CN sabotage to make certain cartoons fail, etc.

Many cartoons gets cancelled thanks to CN.

When it comes to A Levels normally they take 2 years to do it. I have already done Business Studies and ICT for 1 year, so only 1 year left.

When those two are done, I will try to do A Level Maths and GCSE Science. Sadly I found out I need science. Although I can't find a place that teach Science, the closest I can find is GCSE Biology, so I will do that next year.
I spoke to the University and they accept Biology.

For A Level I need to get BCC.

If everything goes good and there is no failure, then I should be able to go to University on year 2025. It is annoying that it will take some years to get there. I checked the university and I checked the requirements, I spoke them them and said what I needed.

This is a easy challenge, there are 365 days in a year and I only need to eat 25 times in a whole year. Then the same for next year and onward.
I can choose anything in Taco Bell menu, to count as my dinner. On the bright side I do enjoy Taco Bell food. With how little I need to go to Taco Bell that wouldn't make it boring.

There is no downside to this challenge. I would eat the complete meal.

Here is a question, how come some people are born lucky while some people are lucky if they are born?

To make it more simple, how come some are so lucky to have everything, including a perfect body, while some don't have everything and has a terrible body.

Some people does terrible things, but nothing happens. They get to enjoy life, while some have done nothing wrong and mostly bad things happens.

Just imagine everything we can do if we didn't need to sleep and didn't ever get tired.

I like my job, what I don't like is my pay. Let say I get less than 1,000 per month.

That is why I am so focus in getting qualifications and a degree.

I've had YouTube premium so long I forgot that people get ads like this.

YouTube and Facebook relies on fake game ads and people being stupid in the game adverts for mobile phones.

Why should people pay to not see fake games and people being stupid in adverts. That is fraud that they are allowing.

This is why adblocker is worth it. YouTube don't deserve a penny for allowing fraud.

IOS/Android games are a infestation, I normally block any games when it comes to those device. No more chance.

They like to rely on fake adverts and people that fails in their advert.

Never got any adverts like the one mentioned in this thread before.

Why worry about the shit you cant change

put your foot and your mind forward, bitterness like this is a soul killer

You are right, think can affect on my mood. It can affect my performance in life like in my job or anywhere.

I can't say I am happy about my past, I try to ignore it but it isn't easy at times. Sometimes I think how bad my health screwed me a lot.

Even though my health is way better, I can't change what happened.

I only have at the moment 5 GCSE, that is all I have in qualifications. A level at the moment is zero. I know I am close to my goal, but I hate the fact it taken me so long.

So it is still safe to use Paypal, here is another question and probably the final question.
Is it a good idea to keep a Debit card on Paypal without removing it or is it save to remove a debit card on it?

I haven't used Paypal in many years, I was wondering is it still good to use Paypal? I plan to buy things with it.

I have to agree with there VeggetaX.

Where do you live? If you're some sort of deal then the requirements will be very different, than just coming as an international student.

When it comes to education we have the same rules as UK.

I can do this, when I go to the gym and do cardio by doing bicycle I can also study with my phone. I can watch video and listen on subject related to ICT and Business Studies. Normally I do 1 hour or more bicycle.

When I have free time, I can study hard.

I still need to work on not getting pissed of at myself, although I have got better with that.

It would be good when the day comes that I can create a thread saying I am in University.

MedeaLysistrata posted...

You could always try to do some uni in your country then transfer, or do graduate school somewhere else. But I'm sure you've already considered most options.

In my country there is only 1 University, they don't offer anything relating to computer degree at all.
I tried checking and speaking with them, but no luck.

Before there was no university, so people had to go to UK to study.

MedeaLysistrata posted...

https://future.utoronto.ca/apply/requirements/international-high-school-secondary/british/

Not sure. Have a look.

Edit: it looks like you need 3 A Levels, shitty

So even as a mature student I would need 3 A Level. So that means I won't be able to go until my 36.

For these GCSE subject I got these grades:

English C grade
Spanish C grade
ICT C grade
Business Studies C grade
Maths 4 grade

MedeaLysistrata posted...

TC have you considered Canada to study?

I'm assuming you're from outside the UK

I never thought of Canada, never been to Canada.
Your assumption is correct I am not from UK.

MedeaLysistrata posted...

Anyway... @supermichael11

Check out mature student requirements for the schools you want to go to. They might be totally different...

I will check later when I am home. Let's assume I can get accepted, will it affect me not having A Levels or little A Level?

teep_ posted...

Which A Levels are you taking? What university course do you want to do? When I was applying to universities in the UK, they all wanted 3 A Levels, not 2

ICT and Business Studies A Level I am doing.
So University wants A Level if they are not mature students.

My original plan was to do Maths also, but that was too much.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


The answer is yes I want to go to university.

Michael_Booth posted...

Hey, you're a mature student -- UK universities don't need the same qualifications if you're a Mature Student. Look it up. You could also go the route of a Foundation Year (only lasts a year), which leads to a Three Years degree

So I can get into University by applying for Foundation Year. Will not having A Level or level little A Level have hinder me in anyway?

(I can't believe I said went instead of want).

RlP posted...

What is 2 A level?

You could also explore going to university in a different country if the wait time/politics/cost/ whatever are just bs.

Normally to go into University about 5 GCSE and 2 A Levels or more are required. That is how it works if I go to UK to study.
I only have the 5 GCSE, but no A Level at the moment.

Michael_Booth posted...

How old are you?

33 years old.

Best case scenario I will be 34 years old when I can go to University, assuming 2 A Level are enough. Worst case Scenario would be 36+.

I just hate how I am getting older, yet I still haven't gone to University yet. I can imagine getting a degree would help a lot in getting a high paid job.

I just hate how slow it is going.

I want to go to University, however I still need to get my A Levels, which will take either 1 year depending if 2 A Level is enough or 3 years if I require more A Level.

I hate that in the past my health was so bad, I was getting sick constantly and at the wrong time. An example getting Sinus Infection near exam or on exam. Imagine doing an exam with Sinus Infect and not knowing why the symptons were happening the 1st time.

Right now my health is way better, but nothing I do now can change what has happened.

Knowing that for me to get into Univerisity can take about 1 year or 3 years depending if 2 A Level is enough or not is annoying.
The only thing I can do is study as hard as I can do, but there is nothing I can do to speed it up.

I know when the time comes for University, I have to leave my job, seeing that I would have to go to another country to study computer related course.

I hope I can pass my 2 A Level in 2023, I hope to get Grade A.
