    Every time they revive it I feel like this, except for the movies. Especially the obligatory first episode poking fun at the cancellation and explaining the revival. There’s usually a few gems though.

    Last time around, the eyephone episode with the butt mole and the strange “and this iPod, I don’t want it anymore”-line from the witness protection episode sent me cringing so hard I broke three ribs.


  • I’ll pay for convenience or a good service. When the legal option is more work than piracy that’s a problem. The entertainment industry at this point is kind of infamous for how late they are to adapt to changes. It took ages to accept streaming as a viable option, but they finally accepted it and found a way to make it terrible, too.

    It’s not convenient when I can’t find what I want to watch, it’s not convenient when the show I am watching is suddenly gone from the streaming library. It’s not convenient when only a sequel to a movie is available for viewing.

    Steam is a great example of how to make a great service that is actually convenient.







  • My favourite for the last few years has been Stormworks. It lets you build a lot of various vehicles with a lot of creative freedom. You can use out of the box controls, get a bit more advanced with the in-game microcontroller editor or go even further with lua scripting. I dove in blind and love it. Then there’s transport, logistics, rescue, research etc. missions to complete.

    Others I have played before are Scrap Mechanic and Besiege which are a lot more lightweight and easy to get into, but with less advanced building possibilities.
