meaningful weapons and armor, but that would've required meaningful stats to begin with

Making it a looter and having to change my armor every side mission is not my definition of a good time

What would you have made the rewards

Actually I am $5 in. I will patreon that shit

I am in for 100 dumbest video game moments

Speaking of, holy shit Payback

That was one of my favorite side quests of all time.

I feel like complaining about the rewards of side quests is everything wrong with gaming today.

Doing sidequests because you want rewards is just a skinner box. Xenoblade chronicles was horrendous with this. The rewards were great and the sidequests were complete garbage. It killed the game for me because I felt obligated to do stupid meaningless tasks.

The sidequests in this game I've for the most part really enjoyed because they have expanded the story of the game. Some have been not great but for the most part I've enjoyed the world building

Yeah victim blaming would be blaming the dog. If you have a dog that is skittish you need to be a responsible pet owner about it.

It can both be sad that the dog died, and true that if something happens ever single year without fail on July 4th, it should be accounted for by responsible pet owners.

If you aren't responsible it can still be tragic, but it isn't the neighbors fault when the same exact action took place on that day for the last 50 years.

Scrappy is a totally fine character that needs to be written well.

He was not written well.

this topic also has a ton of victim blaming culture to it

I'm not a big fan of fireworks but people advocating the outlaw of fireworks is identical to the issue of Nimbys who try to outlaw loud music in New Orleans and such

It's just a selfish attitude that is inconsiderate to other points of view.

For some people shooting fireworks for their kids is important to them just like your dog being scared is important to you

damn people really don't understand sympathy on this board huh

There is some gentrification vibes going on here.

Like yeah your dog was upset, but moving into an existing neighborhood that obviously has a strong culture of celebrating independence day and complaining about it isn't a good look

I guess I've never really understood the concept of adult theaters at all. Are there really enough people comfortable enough to watch porn in a room full of strangers (who are all presumably equally comfortable with it) to make them worthwhile to operate? Regardless I completely agree with your assessment that the entire thing was blown out of proportion but that Reubens should have had the sense not to do something like this while he was still one of the major players in children's entertainment.

They made a lot more sense pre internet

hA! Speaking of purple and gay - jokes on you, Falwell, I never watched Teletubbies!

ngl I was waiting for this one to drop ever since I caught up. You could probably fill a quarter of this list (and I'm being generous here) with weird brony stuff. I appreciate the addendum. MLP: FiM was for a while one of my favourite shows though I never finished the series so maybe I am actually a FAKE FAN and it does suck to have a decent piece of media tainted by some very loud bad apples.

Yeah, I think normal fans probably fell off after the first 3 seasons or so. The songs fell off and after a while it was just fine.

Which was probably also part of the problem where the Fandom remaining was the most extreme

Being a brony was fun when it was still mock enjoying the show.

Then people were legitimately treating the show as the best thing ever

Ive kind of stopped following this topic as Im further behind.

But to me this game is what dragon quest XI promised itself to be. I bounced hard off that game because it felt like the plot went nowhere and the side quests were complete fluff nonsense. The explanation I read was that was culturally what gamers who played those sort of games liked which I thought was weird.

This game has echoes of that with the putting together the ship quests but I feel like it actually executed where I can play an hour a day and feel immersed in the world and maybe it doesnt really advance the plot but the characters are interesting enough that Im on board.

Man,

we did not like purple as kids

Im actually super bummed Saturday morning cartoons dont exist any more. I felt like I blinked and they were gone forever

It's also worth pointing out that releasing a big-budget anything also comes with a lot of expenses like advertising, and taking theaters away from films you either have out there or will release soon that could be a more efficient use of money for movies.

Going 'well, we put this much into it, we have to finish it' is sunk cost theory in action.

Its also residuals. You agree to pay the writers and actors a cut every time its aired or for however long its available.

if you never release it then you pay nothing

Oh geeze. We need a clutch cargo clip in here. It is even worse than the write up makes it sound

I feel like everyone who complains about corporate greed today needs to be reminded of 80s children cartoons

Well at least they probably learned their lesson. I'm sure cartoon network today has more variet.....

#29: Spamming One Show All Day, Seven Days A Week

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/3/9/AAAG8cAAEotr.jpg
I guess if you love Teen Titans Go... Merry Christmas?

Remember when networks used to play different shows at different times every day? You'd turn on Nickelodeon, and the average day's programming consisted of a couple dozen different shows. Same with Cartoon Network, and the Disney Channel. These days, you're lucky if you see more than half a dozen different shows in a day, as most kids' networks now spam the same show over and over again, sometimes only showing one thing all day. For Cartoon Network, it's usually Teen Titans Go. For the longest time on Nickelodeon, it was Spongebob Squarepants, with the occasional Fairly OddParents or Loud House marathon. Marathon... marathons used to be special. It used to be, people looked forward to seeing their favorite show two hours in a row. If a network was showing the same thing all day, it was an event, accompanied with things like interviews and trivia quizzes. Now, to paraphrase, "it's just Tuesday". And... I get it, to some extent. If a show's killing it in the ratings and showing it over and over again puts butts in seats, then it can be a good business move, at least in the short term, to do just that. But scheduling like this cuts down heavily on programming diversity. Remember the days when you'd change the channel and stumble on your new favorite show? Spamming programs like this doesn't give lesser known shows a chance to shine, and if the show you're showing repeatedly begins to decline in the ratings, it can take down your whole network's numbers, leading to firings or worse. Fortunately, these days networks seem to have taken that lesson to heart, and Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are both trying out more programming, but modern viewers still have painful memories of when it would seem like months would go by without anything but Spongebob and Teen Titans Go on their screens.

This is.... incredible

And its during christmas break when kids actually might want to watch during the day too?

Even if you wanted to watch Teen Titans go, why would you be playing the same movies multiple times?!

I thought about getting Gran Turismo... what makes it the weakest one on your list?

I got it with a PSVR2 and it was extremely fun as a theme park style ride and really not something I like playing as a game. Played it once for a couple hours and never really felt the desire to play again

Returnal is great

Spiderman to me felt like.... more spiderman. It wasn't bad by any means but I didn't finish it

Looking at the list of games I've played on PS5 I would rate them

1. Elden Ring
2. Returnal
3. FFXVI
4. Tactics Ogre
5. Demons Souls
6. Spider Man
7. Tiny Tina
8. Gran Turismo

Comedy Central started airing Ren and Stimpy here in the UK last year. Rather tellingly, it's on late at night instead of during the day when children would be able to watch it. I'll always wonder how on earth it got away with The Lord Loves a Hangin'.

They also playing the adult seasons? I know it came back a decade ago or so on adult tv

I absolutely despised jimmy neutron. Thought it was super weird and cringey

But in a different way. I was always annoyed it was supposed to be super sciencey and then they did things like not wear helmets in space.

It was the Big Bang theory of kids shows

I absolutely despised Zim. Thought it was super weird and cringey

I just sort of have a problem seeing shows like Owl House and Steven Universe, which involve a hell of a lot more critical thought than The Flinstones ever has, being listed as "children's TV" and for some reason Flintstones is not.

Its just what the target audience is. Succession and Baywatch are both Dramas despite the gap in target audience IQ being at least 45 points apart

Not to get philosophical but I feel like we're actually hardwired to be good. There's just a lot of complicating factors.

We are immensely selfish but care about people around us.

Our destruction of the environment (And to be clear we have records of the Roman Empire causing the extinction of plants from over use, this isnt a recent thing) has lasted millennia.

Yeah that was.. 13 years ago?

Yeah, I can believe it. Its just crushing that humanity will never escape the plague of actively hurting itself for the dumbest fucking reasons imaginable

When you realize that humans arent that different from other animals it makes it make more sense.

We are hardwired to be horrible

Ah yeah, give me more WB incredibly dumb decisions. I can do those all day

Yeah, say what you will about jabber jaw, it isn't any more derivative than a host of marvel or DC characters

As opposed to some of those direct rip offs

This is a really hard question because R/B/Y obviously is the most flawed but how much do you hold that against it compared to later games which are basically patch notes of earlier games

#66: Buffalo Gals

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/0/3/AAAG8cAAEoC7.jpg
They came out, all right.

Cow And Chicken was one of the original Cartoon Cartoons, and was known for its absurdist humor and its love of sexual innuendo (with more butt shots than pretty much any cartoon ever aired up to that date), but Season 2's "Buffalo Gals" was not only completely over the top, but was positively loaded with offensive stereotypes of lesbians, complete with a group of motorcycle riding women who literally break into people's houses to chew on their carpet. I'm not making this up, they REALLY went there... not only that, but one of the Buffalo Gals was actually flirting with Cow... depicted as a seven-year-old child on the show. In the episode, the Buffalo Gals break into Cow and Chicken's house, and Cow is enamored with them, eventually following them to their hidden campground. Eventually, Chicken has to show up and fight them off to rescue Cow once she becomes disillusioned with them (which, being a seven minute cartoon, happens very quickly, with about 30 seconds of that seven minutes just taken up by a performance of the classic "Buffalo Gals" song). I'm not sure what the writers were thinking that kids would get out of this episode, but needless to say, this one courted controversy from its first (and ultimately only) airing. It was a different time, to be sure, but even back in 1998 this was never going to fly, and you can't even defend this one on comedic grounds: the episode wasn't even funny. Cow And Chicken was always surreal and controversial, and sometimes it was at its best when it was at its most bizarre, but this was just offensive, and it blows my mind that somebody signed off on this.

I hated cow and chicken as a kid.

But the moral of this story is dont piss off everyone at once. Cant imagine anyone was ok with their kids watching that

I honestly can't fathom why people are still using Twitter

My guess is teen titans go is just hated by some teen titans fans because it is a completely different show.

I've seen a bit of it and it seemed amusing enough, but obviously it's just officially produced fluff fanfiction
