That it’s probably time to go watch it again and see if it holds my interest well enough to watch the third season. I’ve seen the first two and maybe the movie? But that was easily 15 years ago.
If nothing else though, Kyle MacLachlan is a treasure to watch and an absolute dreamboat.
And your niche IPs to wither and die, killing small but devoted fanbases. Fuck you, bring back Breath of Fire.
No, but I’ve had the Nectar of a Thousand Sorrows from Parks and Rec, which is red wine and root beer. It’s not bad, great way to slug down a dryer cheap bottle.
Honorable mention, His Royal Frogness Dominar Rygel XVI
Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, as a whole.
I guess within the band, my ranking would go:
Bum dee deedley bum dum de dum dum, (bum) dee deedley bum dum de dum dum…
Owlcat Games - they made two Pathfinder games, Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, some of my favorite CRPGs in recent memory. Their latest, Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, is supposed to be great as well, but I haven’t had the time to do more than check out the character creation so far.
Children’s Horror
We give gifts to both sets of parents as a couple, but we’re both involved in picking them out.
Actually what usually happens is my wife sets me loose to wander in a store and follows me like a dowsing rod or a truffling pig, and then I stop in front of a shelf and go “I dunno, this?” and 8/10 times she goes “holy shit, yeah”.
I think a lot of amateur writers feel more comfortable with a prompt or an established theme for the community to get started with. It’s part of why WritingPrompts, HFY, and HumansAreSpaceOrcs were pretty popular on reddit. After that, I imagine it’s just like any online community, a matter of promoting it to people and getting splintered tiny communities to band together in one place.
It looks like your community is pretty general theme-wise, have you considered maybe a “theme of the week” post, or a sticky where people can dump prompts for someone to pick up and run with?
Maximo
Fuuuuck, I haven’t thought about Maximo in years. That, Dark Cloud, and MediEvil are probably highest on my “It’s been 20 years, where the hell is my third game?” list.
Nethack maybe? It’s been updated over the years, but it’s still largely the game that released in '87.
I’m also playing Might and Magic 6 [98] right now, and remembering why I liked 7 so much more. Planning a playthrough of World of Xeen [93/94] soon too.
Romantically? I don’t suppose that there’s much choice to falling in love. But continuing to love someone once the honeymoon glow wears off, and it’s not always as happy and easy? I think that is, to some degree, a choice you make.
You can use a chair as a table, but can’t comfortably sit on most tables. QED, fuck off tables.
Also we get Will Sasso to come back as hotelier Gomez Calhoun at least once a season.
We’re bringing back Sliders without a reboot.
It was the real Arturo that got left behind in “Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome”, and Remy ends up finding him again after his cliffhanger solo slide.
Working with Arturo, they manage to get a slidegate up and running to go back for the others. They also find a dying copy of Quinn along the way who has some valuable Kromagg info and end up merging him into Mallory like the accident that melded our Quinn into him, in a last-ditch effort to save him. The presence of this third Quinn, who is almost like the original, outweighs Mallory so we have Jerry O’Connell back in the cast.
The gang all back together, they go to deliver the Kromagg bio-weapon in Remy’s blood and succeed. It’s now slowly spreading across all worlds. But the Kromagg big bad they’re fighting during this process sets off some kind of nuke inside a slide-tunnel, destabilizing the entire thing and basically scrambling sliding across all worlds. Even if you knew how to precisely connect to a world before, it goes somewhere else now.
And now we’re back to the classic formula, we can do whatever we want from here.
Oh my. I’ve only seen like 2 episodes of fallout and forgot he was in the first one, so I just looked him up and other than some extra silver he appears to have barely aged from when he played the mayor on Portlandia 10-15 years ago.
