As a middle-aged cis man, this whole thread is adorable to me.

Tear it down, whatever it be.

But there is a twist!

This is all people post-apocalypse telling a story about why the world is fucked!

…yeah. What a twist.

From a prior thread, the ride often makes women fall off and thus possibly expose themselves, not that there is necessarily a glut of perverts at the festival.

I love Tracy Ullman, but can’t argue with your summation. Still just glad she showed up.

And yes, it is nowhere near what the show was before, but I love getting a somewhat inspired new season.

Demonstrating skill in cooking is a great strategy, but you often can’t do that for a first date.

Still, practice, dudes. Have a few dishes you are good at making when that opportunity arises.

And if it doesn’t, you can eat well and expand those skills.

Good point, but it makes the headline much easier to write at the very least.

Yes, seed your torrents!

Seconding Taskmaster.

Every show is on YouTube and I think it’s on Hulu now as well. It’s probably on an actual channel in the UK too.

It’s more that the Clone Wars and other animated series filled in the gaps and made the odd decisions in the movies feel more justified.

But I never watched those, so they still seem like bad movies to me.

They don’t see themselves as part of the problem they are handwaving into a crisis.

They can’t put two and two together. If I need this, maybe others do too.

Is Android any better in this regard?

Not whatabouting, generally ignorant and curious.

That documentary was fucking fascinating. I watched it one night, then made my housemates watch it the next day.

They teased me at multiple points like “Oh, this is why you yelled ‘THAT’S WHERE THE EGGPLANT CAME FROM’, isn’t it?”

The entire reveal of Hal’s past was heartbreaking.

His dad thought he trusted Hal to handle the responsibility of his suicide, and that colored Hal’s entire life.

He was never able to let go of anything, broken from an early age.

He had no fear because he had no hope for his own life, only that he might manage to do enough to matter before eventually falling to depression.

…I would guess not.

And this is where the Fox Trot dance comes from. Go figure.

YouTube on my TV. Haven’t figured out how to block those.

Blocking political ad content… during the time in which I am being deluged with ridiculously biased political ads.

That is legitimately hilarious reasoning. The tears are of laughter.

You are definitely being creative in a roundabout way, but once you have all that work done, you can theoretically tell almost any kind of story within that setting.

I have been doing this in a very minor way (compared to you) in creating a D&D world so that I can step in at any point in history with an adventure and have the players version of the world change through their cumulative adventures.

I don’t have 5000 years of detailed world history or even a completed world map yet, but I am having fun and so are my players.

So to tie all this up, you are doing this for you and having fun with it. Why stop now? Write your stories. Maybe find an audience.

More or less though that writing process is similar to Tolkein’s. Make the setting well enough and the characters will suddenly start to make their own decisions for you. (And then you rethink earlier decisions when you get better at it and need to retcon things.)

Food is, indeed, a thing.
