  • To be fair, it’s software specifically designed to run digital backups of what’s supposed to be personally owned media. It just so happens that it’s very easy to obtain a copy otherwise, but there’s nothing inherently illegal about it or the games.

    Strong arming independent projects, and individual developers especially, that are very careful to not endorse that, effectively holding them accountable for others, is morally questionable at best.


  • I’ve very slowly gotten over the old muscle memory. For a while I hoped they’d be able to get the same configuration, but I’m not sure that’s technically possible from what I’ve heard. It doesn’t really bother me much anymore even though I loved it being all keyboard.

    Rambling aside, are there not any mechanical updates that diverge from v47 yet? Obviously there’s been a lot of work getting adventure mode and graphics up to snuff, but I thought some sort of minor changes were made along the way. Even what I’m thinking, or likely imagining, would be pedantic differences, though.







  • There are a few moments that nod straight to Breaking Bad though, like Tuco’s entry. It had me fanboying and hyped for the directing/writing especially across shows. I also feel like you can really get a sense of the writers’ personal development coming off of Breaking Bad, like they refined so much that was already some of the best TV. And the contrast between Walt’s unreal saga and how Saul is so humanized; he’s deeply flawed but just a guy trying to make it.

    I really need to finish Better Call Saul.


  • I can’t believe I forgot about Letterkenny. The riffing is just so good, it doesn’t get old, and every character is perfect. And the music, especially season one’s display is exactly my taste. The whole show is top notch, but season one is something special.

    Schitt’s Creek, too. Both are Canadian gems. I love how like half of the cast is Eugene Levy’s family, and Dan Levy is bae. It’s one of the few comedies to bring me to tears, I’m pretty sure more than once.

    So many shows have to be tied for number one for me lmao. Every time I look back at this thread the list gets longer.


  • I was recently watching Archer again, so I’ll have to see how the later seasons hit this time around. It’s one of those shows I’ve watched multiple times over (all the shows I mentioned are, honestly) and it seemed to fall off, but I might have just been finally burnt out lol.

    And that’s a good point about Bob’s Burgers. It’s always pretty wholesome. I almost forgot about all the songs, too. They’re so good!


  • It’s Always Sunny and Bob’s Burgers are standouts for me, along with a lot of this thread.

    I guess I’d categorize them both as shows where every character, however minor, contributes perfectly to the hilarity and overall vibe of the show. Really, any show with great chemistry/cohesion and ownership of the characters, where you couldn’t change a single thing to make it better. Psych and Futurama are a couple mentioned that fit the bill. Others are on the tip of my tongue but not coming to me. Oh, King of the Hill!

    The best thing about IASIP and Bob’s Burgers is there isn’t a single off/bad episode in the first like 12 and 5 seasons, respectively. I stopped keeping up with both at some point when I was up to date and waiting. There’s not really a bad episode in any of those shows.

    What I really like about Bob’s Burgers is how they record all together and have a lot of fast quipping and reactive energy.

    Oh, and Archer! At least until things really switched up.
