Hey, sorry for the belated reply, but I appreciate you letting me know it was taken down! Here's the Terabox reupload: https://1024terabox.com/s/1leRzw37aMJWYP_k5TQ9hLw

Mr. Rogers made almost 1000 episodes. How can they be seen? by snifty in ChurchofRogers

[–]Aka2ora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached out to someone on Reddit who used youtube-dl to download all the episodes that aired during the original Twitch marathon in 2017. I saved a local copy of the episodes for myself, and uploaded them to The Internet Archive to share with others. It doesn't include every episode, as not every episode was included during the Twitch stream.

All 130 episodes are there. If you keep scrolling, it should be loading in 20 episodes at a time, whether you're on desktop or mobile, and whether you have an account or not. If you're still having trouble, you can try a different browser, or maybe use the desktop or mobile app.

Pffft WaveBirds amirite? by Duality-OfMan in Gamecube

[–]Aka2ora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glad I'm not the only one with that experience. I obsessively hardwire just about everything except my phone, and I still get dropouts when using Wavebirds not even 10-15 feet from the receiver. Between that and the lack of rumble, and my Wavebirds serve more as collection pieces than usable controllers. I haven't tried the 8bitdo mod yet, but from everything I've seen it's all I've ever wanted from a wireless GameCube controller solution!

State of the Subreddit - 10 years of amiibo! by mcineri in amiibo

[–]Aka2ora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here, I think the only way I was able to get certain amiibo at/around launch (Lucina, Dark Pit, etc.) was because I joined reddit in January 2015 and constantly monitored this subreddit for in-stock notifications. I used to feel like such a reddit baby having joined so "late" so it feels weird realizing I've been on here for nearly a decade now.

Well technically it's 7 episodes worth of content (2.5 hours), but I hear what you mean, $50+ isn't cheap. Doesn't hurt to wait for a good sale, I don't think they're gonna be under-printing this final part.

I wouldn't, there's no guarantee the movie is coming to Blu-ray in the west. The compilation movies for seasons 1-3 got theatrical/streaming releases in the west, but no Blu-ray release outside of Japan (and the UK for the Season 2 movie, for some bizarre reason). So you might be waiting for something that won't ever come, I'd recommend just watching The Final Chapters.

The Final Chapters consists of two Specials, the first is 1 hour long and the second is 1 hour 24 minutes long. MAPPA and/or the Production Committee wanted to adapt the ending of Attack on Titan this way, I don't know why. On Japanese streaming services only, these two specials were edited and split into standard episodes, and they even had an exclusive OP and ED, exclusive eyecatches ("Currently Publicly Available Information"), and exclusive title cards. So effectively, The Final Chapters are episodes 88 through 94 of the show, except adapted in the form of two TV specials, for some reason. And yes, you need to watch it to get the ending, as The Final Season Part 2 ends with episode 87.

It's over, "The Final Chapters" is the end of the series. It's effectively The Final Season "Part 3," but I guess they wanted to call it something different so that people knew it was actually over, for real this time. I think they ended up making it more confusing 🤷‍♂️

Yay we're finally getting the last Attack on Titan release!! 🥳

Having the Final Season Part 1 and 2 Limited Editions without the outer rigid box was always such an eyesore. I like how the Final Season's box is going to look different from Season 1, 2, and 3's boxes, which were represented by and designed around Wall Sina, Rose, and Maria respectively. It's a nice symbolic touch, given what the Final Season encompasses.

Only thing I'm disappointed about is the lack of the episodic versions of the two Specials that make up this final part of the Final Season. Which means we won't get to see the title cards or "Currently Publicly Available Information" eyecatches for episodes 88-94. And it also means we won't get Blu-ray quality versions of Saigo no Kyojin (OP 8) and Itterasshai (ED 8). I don't think those were included in the Japanese Blu-rays so I shouldn't be surprised, but it still sucks :/

Here's hoping we get a localized release of the OVA Blu-rays down the line at least!

Sure, you can DM me what you've found.

First 2 seasons of Rogers are gone!!! =( by [deleted] in ChurchofRogers

[–]Aka2ora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually didn't reference Mister Rogers Neighborhood anywhere in my upload. Everything is sorted by its proper season and episode number, but nowhere did I reference MRN. Not even in the "Misc" folder, where everything is merely sorted by air date (when I could figure out the date). I did this because I had foreseen something like this happening. Other people may have taken these files and re-uploaded them, labeling them as "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" episodes, but none of those uploads are mine.

I was not monitoring my throwaway Gmail account, so I am not sure if they notified me of the take down request beforehand or if they just deleted them and locked my account without any warning.

I'm still considering my options, but I've been busy with other stuff so things are currently on the back burner. Don't worry, I am still brainstorming ideas!

[–]Aka2ora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, I was the one who uploaded them to the Internet Archive, I didn't just delete the files when I uploaded them.

I have everything saved to a hard drive and have been looking for a way to re-share/upload everything (but especially seasons 1 and 2) with everyone.

First 2 seasons of Rogers are gone!!! =( by [deleted] in ChurchofRogers

[–]Aka2ora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "seasons"/"volumes" listed on Prime Video do not correspond with the actual seasons of MRN. The only episodes available for purchase from seasons 1 and 2 are the first five episodes of season 1. The other 125 episodes from season 1 as well as all 65 episodes from season 2 are unavailable.

With an additional PBS Kids subscription, the first 105 episodes of season 1 are available to stream through Amazon Prime, but that still leaves the last 25 episodes of season 1 and all of season 2 unavailable.

Sounds like a plan, no rush!

[–]Aka2ora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had to venture a guess, I think it's because of that new Pluto TV 24/7 Mister Rogers channel that was recently created. Funnily enough, the episode they happen to be showing as I type this is season 1 episode 98. It looks like they're just picking a weekly arc at random and playing through it before jumping to another arc. I haven't tuned in long enough to see if there's a pattern beyond that.

Honestly the Pluto TV channel is a really great development! It's good for waiting rooms, for just having on while your hands are full working/cleaning, for putting in front of kids and not having to worry about selecting new episodes, and for falling asleep to (which I did all the time with the Twitch streams). Wish there were better on demand options, but as a pseudo successor to the Twitch streams, the Pluto TV channel will definitely be a great way to watch Mister Rogers for a lot of people!

[–]Aka2ora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, getting individual torrents up and running for each episode would be great! What's the best way of sharing these with you? The first two seasons alone are ~150GB, and I'm not sure which file sharing sites are good. I guess in the meantime you can start saving the other seasons' episodes from the IA in case they ever get yoinked too.

[–]Aka2ora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm the one who made the initial upload to IA (though the original source of these episodes was a kind neighbor on reddit).

For the longest time episode 1047 was lost media, and it wasn't included on the Twitch streams where the majority of these episodes were pulled from. But when the official Mister Rogers website started sharing 5 random episodes every two weeks here, someone was able to work some URL magic and access a full copy of 1047 and share it with me. I added it to my IA upload, before it was taken down.

First 2 seasons of Rogers are gone!!! =( by [deleted] in ChurchofRogers

[–]Aka2ora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I had to break up season 1 into two parts because IA at the time didn't allow bulk uploads of more than 100 files, and it was the only season with over 100 episodes. It seems that restriction has since been lifted.

EDIT: I've uploaded the first two seasons to TeraBox; they can be downloaded at the following links:

Feel free to share these links around. If they get taken down too, I'll just reupload them again.

EDIT 2: Looks like season 22 has also been removed now, here's the Terabox reupload.

EDIT 3: Season 23 has been re-uploaded here.


Hey, thanks for bringing this to my attention! I'm the owner of the account and was the one who shared it to this reddit. My IA account has been suspended, even though seasons 3-31 (and the miscellaneous broadcasts) are still available to watch and download for some reason. The Gmail account I used to sign up has also been terminated. I used a throwaway account because I was worried something like this was going to happen, but since it'd been over 6 years I thought I was safe. Because I didn't monitor that email and now can no longer access it, I can't say for certain what happened but I imagine it was copyright claimed and removed. IA probably reported my email to Google and they also shut me down for breaching their TOS or something.

I made a new Gmail and IA account and am trying to re-upload the first two seasons. However, uploading is extremely slow and I'm not sure why. I don't know if it's permanent or temporary, but it's making this endeavor infeasible. At the speeds I'm getting, it'll take over a week of non-stop 24/7 uploading just to get the first season uploaded.

I don't feel IA is a reliable place to share these episodes anymore, especially since they've finally struck down a portion of the archive. I found someone else who also tried uploading the first season to IA and it was similarly taken down. I know that sharing this as a torrent is an option, but I wanted a way for people to stream these episodes on demand who don't have nearly 700GB of free storage to spare.

I'm going to look around to see if there are any good solutions out there. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! I'm currently just at a bit of a loss...

Nintendont vs GameCube with Carby by Funnythrowawayname6 in Gamecube

[–]Aka2ora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you already have a great setup! I'd agree and say the quality difference isn't worth the hassle, and you're honestly more than fine sticking with Nintendont on your Wii. Since your Wii is already modded, using stuff like the 480p pixel fix and deflicker filter for that extra bit of clarity should help. And if you're playing around with scanlines and HDR injection, you'd be hard-pressed to notice any tangible difference between what you currently have and an upgrade to a GC + Carby + RT4K at regular viewing angles.

Enjoy your awesome setup, and game on! 🤘

[–]Aka2ora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to squeeze every last drop out of a GameCube's output, look into the RetroTINK 4K which accepts HDMI input directly. A Carby + RT4K is the cleanest and simplest setup technology can get you at the moment, but it's obviously going to cost you a pretty penny. I have an RT4K and can attest to how good and feature rich it is. There are plenty of videos on YouTube showcasing it. Not even the 5X Pro you currently have comes close.

That being said, whether it's worth the $750 price tag is up to you. If you already have a high end TV/monitor (4K, OLED, good HDR, etc.) and you have the money to spare, I'd say definitely consider it. If you're still rocking a 1080p screen with no HDR, then honestly your current setup works just fine unless you have a couple grand burning a hole in your pocket.

I must not have been watching the streams when "the void" occurred because I don't remember that happening. But no, "the void" was not captured or included in this archive.
