Why I caveat with words like “relatively”. I know game dev is a volatile industry, but that’s why I’m happy to see a small team put out a second game.

I’m very happy whenever a smaller studio (this game was developed by the Shovel Knight team) not just sees success, but becomes a stable small team able to put out multiple games.

This structure of small, but relatively stable and established teams seems like a much healthier gaming ecosystem than the bloated quadruple-A studio with hundreds of developers and a focus on mind numbing photorealism over actual gameplay.

Oh my. This got me.

Walking distance to the woods.

I feel like her getting with Lucky and having a baby near the end was complete character assassination. I recall hearing the Fox pushed for certain things in the last couple of seasons and I suspect the push for her to get with Lucky, and Lucky becoming a reoccurring character was part of that.

In my mind, Luanne taking over Jack’s barber shop was the end of her character arc in the show. She’d finally found her calling and become a success. (Then suddenly we never see that Barber shop again and she backslides into just being a one dimensional dummy, but now pregnant and with Lucky to be annoying with in every scene.)

the meme of Hank with the big can of WD-40 that won’t open, but he’s prepared for that and just pulls out the smaller WD-40 was representative of the whole show

And he had the WD-40 to fix the squeak in the door of a place he was staying in on vacation. It wasn’t even his house.

What back?

Rocket launchers don’t need much material for a tube. Tubes are mostly for aiming rather than holding a lot of force.

Encounter At Farpoint was a fine pilot episode, and I’m tired of pretending its not.

Hank is an annoying boomer but he lives his values, which makes him endearing. There’s an episode where he notices the tile in his bathroom is faded and says it was guaranteed for 20 years and its only been “what 17, 18 years? Where’s that receipt?” That’s an annoying and obnoxious boomerism. On the other hand, if Hank guaranteed something for 20 years, even as an unofficial offhand comment, and somebody called him on it, he’d go take care of it.

Same thing with tools. Many boomers pretend to have any idea what they are doing when really they don’t have any tools or skills. Hank had enough tools and skills to teach an entire shop class in his garage.

He believes in the idealized idea of America. That means he works hard and to a high degree of craftsmanship and honesty. It also means he can get scammed and taken advantage of with his expectation that other people are doing the same.

I think they struggled early on for different reasons.

American Dad was too laser focused on being a political satire show and I just don’t think the writers were equipped to write a good political show. It just comes off as angry and with unlikable characters. Once it loosened up a little bit, having that political satire premise as a foundation gives the characters a baseline to work from and they all feel distinct because of it.

The Orville feels like Seth didn’t want to make a comedy. It feels to me like he just wanted to make Star Trek, but because he’s “a comedy guy” a lot of the humor, especially early on felt like it was put in to meet some expectation of Fox that a Seth show be a comedy.

‘In Country… Club’ is the example episode I use to get people to try the show. It is so good and commits to hard to the premise.

American Dad is a fantastically funny show, but season 1 is basically unwatchable. Season 2 is a mixed bag. I’d recommend people just start watching from season 3 onward and only check out the earlier episodes as a curiosity.

The conversation wasn’t exactly productive. In any case it wasn’t just that he didn’t care for reading books, but he actively opposed it which was really a wild position.

Somebody once told me they don’t read recreationally because authors are lazy for making readers do all the work of imagining what their story looks like. He was completely sincere, and actually became agitated at the idea of people reading anything beyond manuals or mandatory sorts of things.

Andromeda. Yeah, the Kevin Sorbo show.

The premise is actually great, and the overall plot until Robert Wolfe got pushed out showed a lot of promise. The poisonous factor largely came from Sorbo wanting to intentionally turn the show into campy trash, and TV executives who somehow agreed with him.

Reboot the show, get actors who won’t sabotage production, and hire some half decent writers who want to do a Star Trek-like new franchise.
