I mean that’s a big question…

Most of the stuff I struggled too much with I’ve forgotten about, tbh. I like to try to find everything I can, and I’ll sit on stuff for months if I have to… I’m definitely a data hoarder. I have 498 cartoon series and most of them aren’t anime or pre 1990s. But I have adhd and no attention span so sometimes i just give up.

Specific things that have caused significant issues and I’ve already watched and enjoyed: wolfboy and the everything factory, Elliot from earth, crossing swords, costume quest, human discoveries. I know a lot of the ones on my to-watch list were also tantrum inducing and I have a whole ass list of others I can’t find at all

But most of the stuff that’s had the fewest seeds and leeches has been stuff from the last 10 years, especially the last 5, if it wasn’t on syndication (and even a lot of that is painful to get)

I’m not so sure it didn’t have a target audience so much as it was a casualty of the shift to dispersed streaming where everyone pays a ton for platforms so they only consume what’s on it.

It just dropped at the wrong time and didn’t see widespread chatter because everything is so fractured.

It feels like these days things need to either be picked up by a platform willing to ride it out (like Apple+ seems to be), or find some way to get a solid piracy footprint before the contract ends. And that’s a tall order for animation not aimed at kids, sadly.

But most of the best animation in the last 5-ish years is super difficult to find on most piracy sites… so nobody gets a chance to actually see if they like it.

I really enjoyed both the plot and the animation honestly. I’ve only watched through it once so far so I’m probably not remembering everything (I have a lot of “new” stuff I want to see), but despite not getting more seasons, I personally felt it was decently self-contained.

I really liked the whole internal/interpersonal conflict with the main character, and making the …position? purely based on compromise.

Hmm, would you consider this an iron overdose instead?

Requires medical attention and all ;)

Yeah, aircraft carriers are only allowed to dock at certain ports that are equipped to handle them. They are really quite large ships. Floating cities, really. They have more people on them than the towns I grew up in. Combined… crazy, really.

The only reason I know any of this (beyond being in the navy; I was never on ship duty nor at a carrier base, tho I was 30 min from the carrier base in San Diego) is that for a while my zombie survival plan was to hijack a semi (which I don’t know how to drive), back it into a grocery and load it up, and use it to high-tail to one of the ports that docks carriers (which I also don’t know how to drive), and try to steal one. They have enough deck exposed to the sun to grow crops, and can lose enough internal equipment to make up for the weight of soil, making them workable for emergencies. So I’ve looked into it a bit… That minimum number of crew is a huge deterrent to commandeering one for this purpose though, cuz I’ve met military boys, and they would absolutely be infected early on, unless they were on deployment during the outbreak, in which case they wouldn’t likely come back to shore…

Hey candy land is difficult. I mean how can you play after you eat all the candies? Plus hospital tables aren’t ever big enough for the board!

So someone is sending these to CEOs, right?

Riiiight?

Probably because a skeleton crew for one of those is an absolute shitload of people (Nimitz-class carriers have a standard compliment of 3,200, not including the air division, so pilots and mechanics and such)… and like sure you could probably get rid of some stuff and cut that in half, but it would still require a lot more staff than a super yacht (20-50 crew), including nuclear technicians/engineers and stuff which would probably be expensive.

Plus you’d be spending a ton to demilitarize and make the below-decks spaces comfortable, as that’s the vast majority of the ship. But in so doing, you may actually alter the ballast of the ship causing it to float higher and become unstable…

Why bother when you can get a status symbol custom made for you, you know?

Yeah but then they wouldn’t be able to sell 1,000,000 copies for $65 with all the little plastic bits that will get lost as soon as the box opens and need to be replaced.

You clearly aren’t thinking enough about the shareholders… For shame.

But I do agree. I like when breweries, cafes, and bars have board games, but it really sucks to have to go to a money-spend place to play them. I wonder if libraries have them, or would be willing to host a game day or something.

I think I might be going on a quest in middle earth…

He’s like that guy every woman in the friend group avoids and is like “no but for real he’s a creep and I don’t want to be around if he’s around”

And the us said “yeah but he’s always been cool with us, so you’ll just have to get over it”, and people in the know are like yeah, no.
