Sometimes its important to remember the Stadia, and how the Stadia was a bad idea and a bad product. Which like a bad product should, failed and sorta just crumpled up and died.

It's also important as part of that to remember its terrible performance, controller, and pricing. While also keeping in mind it was meant to be a massive step forward in removing ownership of things players bought.

Though it making Battle For The Grid the first 5 platform cross-platform game was cool I guess.

Edit: Remember when Fallout 76 came out and was a complete dumpster fire where every week a new dumpster caught fire? Do you remember how they tried to get good press for the game without fixing anything? Do you remember the charisma blackhole that was the three way stream of Ninja the streamer, Logic the rapper, and Rick and Morty as Vtuber models? A stream in which long stretches of silence into double digit minutes would happen, they couldn't figure out anything interesting to do, and the game ran like shit.

Edit 2: Remember that time Gearbox wanted to do a live stream to reveal the trailer for Borderlands 2, in which Randy Pitchford walked out on stage high as a kite doing magic tricks and derailed the show for half an hour? Then when they finally got Randy off stage they showed the trailer at like 10 frames a second with no sound.

So Green Lanterns in DC Comics protect vast swaths of the universe, ensuring the longevity of an endless amount of people and cultures. So obviously fans would be lead to ask where were the Green Lanterns when Krypton exploded?

Welp, they were kinda right there. You see the Guardians of the Universe knew of Krypton's coming explosion, but also of Krypton's extreme xenophobia. So they entrusted Green Lantern Tomar Re to covertly and secretly sneak onto Krypton and place a special element in it's core. This element would of stopped the chemical reaction turning the planet to unstable Kryptonite.

Now you see Tomar Re well, he was just two days from retirement. So as he was flying into Krypton he messed up and lost the special element, which cost him enough time for Krypton to detonate around him. Tomar Re would carry this failure with him for the rest of his life.

So on a whim I started playing Top Zilean, and it's been working. Over about 11 games I have lost 2 of them, which I did not expect to happen. I am however a Plat ranked scrub who is hard stuck so I don't pretend to know anything.

I essentially just want a higher ranked player to try it for like two or three games to see how it feels. Essentially you are just farming and harassing with bombs all lane phase, and using your W, E, and R to deny your lane opponent or enemy jungler any ability to actually interact with you. Then when you get out of lane you are using your passive to keep people's levels up, and using your Q to stun more aggressively since your bot laner already has a support covering for them. As well of course throwing your R to keep key players up that would otherwise go down in team fights and skirmishes.

For runes I am doing

• Aery > Manaflow > Transcendence > Scorch
• Cosmic Insight > Triple Tonic.
• Summoners are TP and Flash

Starting tear and typically building Rota first, but idk sometimes I feel just building Seraph's first might be better.

It just feels kind of weird that it's working, and the extra utility is just having a really positive effect on team fights that I otherwise didn't expect. Like I said in the title I just want someone who is actually good at the game to tell me if this is something, or it's just a fluke?

Going off the podcast discussion, I am curious what games really boil down to you only wanting to play a single character? Also has that character changed in a way that has ruined the game for you?

Overwatch was Symmetra for me, until they ruined her because they listened the complaints of people that didn't like her. Then they ruined her again after ONCE AGAIN LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T PLAY HER. After that point I lost all desire to return to Overwatch, and even if they fixed her I doubt I would even go back.

What are gimmicks and ploys that a company can pull to sell you on a piece of media that can only work once? It's appeal is that someone did it, and any other person doing it after that would be derivative.

Palworld was the first legit game to pull the trigger on "What if Pokémon but guns?" The initial reveal trailer got everyone, and cemented that game's early success on launch. No other company can pull a "What if Pokémon but guns?" trailer again without having incredibly diminished returns.

I finished Trigun Stampede and Stargaze recently, and Stampede is really great and Stargaze is pretty good. However I could feel an entity in the room with me as I watched it. A mysterious presence looking over my shoulder from the creator who clearly really wants Vash and Wolfwood to kiss.

​

Now I am a big fan of Trigun, I love the series and the franchise quite a bit. So I am well aware of the various ships, and get it. Stampede radiates the shipper in the productions staff's aura.

I kind of want to make a big list so we can break it down by the day, but this is a updating topic. So post them below and when I get a chance I will try and compile all of them into a big list.

So much of the world on One Piece is connected to music, to the point that even souls can respond to a powerful rhythm. Joy Boy's heart even beat like a drum from what we can tell from Gear 5. So I wonder if before Joy Boy became the first pirate he was just a musician that loved to jam? As music cannot truly thrive under authoritarianism, as its an expression of feelings and freedom channeled through an instrument.

Could explain the origins of Bink's Sake and why so many animals across the globe cant help but bust out into a dance when music starts up.

So I have been doing a Re-Read over the past couple of months, and I have recently gotten to Fishman Island. I had completely forgotten about the talk of the Deep Current because it has been such a long time since it's been brought up.

The reason I bring it up is because the founder of the Davy Clan, Davy D. Jones was according to Xebec the former King of the World before Imu supplanted him. Now it's never been confirmed as true or not, but it's been said that he was cursed to live at the bottom of the ocean on the sea floor.

So what if Davy Jones is actually at the bottom of the ocean, but he is trapped in one of these deep currents slowly dragging him along the sea bed for hundreds of years? Either by some form of magic or in some type of deep water vessel. What if a key to finding the One Piece is going down there and getting some sort of information that Jones took with him to the depths? Maybe Jones is just a dead skeleton on a ancient submarine, or perhaps a robot, and maybe even a patient of the immortality surgery?

I mean Rayleigh would of needed to learn how to coat ships for deep sea travel for some reason right?

So in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory we go to La Cité des Cloches, or the City of the Bells from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. If the Notre Dame Cathedral exists and is decorated in the statues of saints, that means Christianity is canon to Kingdom Hearts. What is the percent chance that Jesus Christ was a Keyblade wielder, and did he know the secret of Kingdom Hearts?

So parents will not stop naming their children after fantasy characters, it is not possible to stop. The best we can hope for is to try and curb it even if only slightly. I propose a rule that if you want to name a child after a fantasy character, that name needs to have been used by at least three distinct characters. So no Red 13, Cubix, or Nu Gundam as those are names that have only ever been used by one character ever.

Also I make a point of saying distinct characters, so no pulling from franchises for easy names. You cannot cheat by going into sequels, re-imaginings, or adaptations so that automatically cuts you off from naming your kid Optimus Prime for example.

Also I am fully aware that this opens the door to certain names that would normally be off limits, but the reality is that you cannot stem the tide forever. So Goku, Bahamut, and Darkness would in fact be legal under this proposed rule.

All characters in story go through their ups and downs, and often find themselves in the absurd. Yet some situations are weirder than others, that when put next to every other experience really stick out.

Like that time Wonder Woman was working at Taco Bell. Doing a 9 to 5 and learning the ups and downs of the human experience, and ignoring Super Hero shit because she has work and rent to pay.

What are SciFi "horrors" that would roll off you like water on a duck's back? Personally for me anything to do with cloning would not be a horror story for me. I can fully have a clone or copy of myself with all my memories and experiences it would fine. I can talk out problems with myself fine, we can work out any kinks is fine.
