Recently got a hand-me-down r2d2 Xbox 360, and have an issue where randomly after it being off for a while it'll just turn itself on? All controllers are in sight and not in a position where any accidental button pushing could be happening, nothing is ever near it when this happens, and the only solution so far has been completely unplugging it when it's not in use. For reference, it's been sitting in my grandmother's room hooked up for a year and a half and hasn't done this, but when we moved it into my room it started???

ETA: it will not turn itself OFF, only on

I was talking to my boyfriend and he said he was getting frustrated because he felt like he had already seen the entirety of how I met your mother, so he asked me to just tell him who Ted ended up with so that he didn't have to watch the entire thing again. I had a very explicit memory of Ted saying to the kids , "and that's how I met your mother" about Robin, and then following it up with "which ... Means you don't exist" and it panning back to the empty couch. I then tried to find the scene, only to see him ending up with Tracy until her death, then Robin, which means there was no "which means you don't exist" and no empty couch. I've been searching for hours now for this weird alternate ending my brain came up with, but I'm wondering if it was some sort of weird April fools episode I watched or something?

Edit: I think you guys were right! I looked up the robin kids scene and it plays out almost exactly how I remember, thank you so much!!!

What the title says, looking for some good picrews for my whimsigoth aesthetic character!!!

Hello! As the title entails, I am working on a visual novel. I am stumbling my way through this coding with ren'py tutorials and grit, as an HTML and CSS native. the issue is, after the first branch I cannot continue making branches inside of it. This has posed two issues. the first, is at the three option first question, you cannot go back and look at the other things. if you chose to examine the couch, you cannot then choose to examine the stairs or table, it just auto-passes to the next part of the game. The second and frankly more pressing to me, is I'd like there to be an option to pick up multiple pieces of paper throughout the game, and if you choose to not grab any of them there's a different ending than if you picked up some or all of them. However, since the papers show up depending on which room you choose, there is already a branch in progress and so I cannot make it give a second option on whether to pick up the paper. If its needed, here is what I'm hoping is the link to the pastebin with my code(I've never used pastebin before so I'm sorry if it doesn't work)

Hi! I've been coding with HTML since high school, however I've been stumbling my way through learning python as I had an idea for an interactive visual novel that I've been wanting to see come to life. I've been following the Ren'Py tutorials, and for the dialogue they worked well enough, but for the parts where the decision path starts the code it taught me hasn't worked. I can't attach images here so I'm unsure of how to describe what's happening outside of this, here is lines 27-68 of my code, which I presume is wherein the problem would lie since that envelops all decisions that can be taken, plus some dialogue. if anyone could help me understand what I'm missing, the game gives me a whole slew of error codes when it comes to the part where the menu for the decision should show up, and then if I press ignore(I did this to see what part the issues would stop at) it skips from line 31(The "Hey! What the hell?!" dialogue) to line 65(The "There's a note here..." Dialogue).

Recently was rewatching and rereading the first book and started thinking. Why did they not just kill him? He already had a fatal leg injury, they discussed several times how he was likely to succumb to said injuries soon. Why could they not say that they tried everything they could but that they couldn't save him in time? I just find it odd.
