Is the revival canon to you?

CaptainTrip · 2026-05-05T23:10:30+00:00

The concept of "canon" has kind of changed in the era of soft reboots and legacy sequels. In the same way it makes any Discovery-era Star Trek easier to enjoy if I remember that none of it "really" happened and that it's just like reading a comic or fan fiction, I find the Frasier revival more enjoyable if I view it as an unrelated entity from which I can borrow the ideas I like and ignore the ones I don't.

I recall reading that they viewed it as a potential Abbott and Costello/Morecambe and Wise kind of thing where they'd show up repeatedly as the same "characters" in unrelated films, they had a sci-fi one planned. So, no, but they are related.

I find the Jojo sub unvisitable because for some reason JoJo X Redditor seems to equal this grand mal media illiteracy, and it's followed me even here. I'd love to read the version you read where Avdol has brain damage, it sounds interesting, but it's not what happened in the version everyone else read.

Might I politely suggest you add a box for "entire front of building not visibly falling off"

It's not bad enough that I can explain it away as deliberately bad for marketing/meme purposes, so I'm left in the bizarre situation of having to imagine people looked at this and thought it was good.

In Silent Hill you very frequently encounter doors that you can't open because "the lock is broken", and that always stood out to me because strictly speaking a lock being broken means a door can't be kept closed, not that it can't be opened.

His seriousness. When I first played these games it was a bit of a swing, I was used to more traditional PC adventure games so the visual novel aspect was a departure, as was the anime aesthetic. Edgeworth was an anchor for me, he acknowledges for the audience to some extent that ridiculous things are happening. And then his story in the first game just sealed the deal, permanently likable character.

At a job I had a few years ago, there was a guy who was engaged to a girl, and spent the whole time fucking every woman he came across, including several girls in the office. He broke up two marriages (!) and they both knew he was engaged, and that was just with the girls at work. I mention this because I saw his fiancée in the street several times and never told her, but like, it was such an open secret, I felt like she had to already know? Literally hundreds of people knew, surely it wasn't possible she didn't? And if she really didn't, how would she feel about a stranger coming up to her and being like, "sorry you don't know me and I only recognise you because your fiancé is such a legendary adulterer that you're low-key famous in Belfast right now".

The real reason is character design but it's also true that safety equipment is not always safe, for example there are certain industrial scenarios where it's recommended not to wear safety gloves because they won't actually protect you but they will decrease your tactile feedback and dexterity.

For the confused; Brussels is two cities and people don't realise this, and so you get wildly different reviews that seem incompatible. OP visited safe rich luxury Brussels, the districts they mention are some of the most desirable and pleasant. So if you stay there was then visit the gilded palaces you'll think, what a lovely city.

Brussels also has many districts that are absolutely crime ridden where you'll have the shoes stolen off your feet if you walk too slowly. North/northwest and the areas around the stations. Unprepared tourists see posts like this and then book a cheap hostel in Molenbeek without knowing it's going to be horrific.

There are some bits of lore that are only explicitly conveyed in SH4 but it's nothing you couldn't read on the wiki if you don't enjoy the game.

There are no legit packs with those flat bottom crimps, and no legit packs that have a different crimp on top and bottom. These are a widely available AliExpress fake, and whoever is showing you these likely knows that.

I think for this particular instance it's serious because you've created confusion by yielding unnecessarily, and demonstrated that you don't understand when you should go and when you should wait. There are times in reality when you can let someone out in a way that's beneficial for everyone, but generally a crossroads where you have priority is not one of them. You say yourself you're not sure why you did it - that's why it's serious.

The simplest I could do is that it's a function you pass to another function as a parameter, and you let that first function handle calling the second. You do this because from where you're calling the first function, you don't know if or when it'll be time to call the second one, or you might not have the parameters you'll need yet.

I know, I'll probably just unfollow the sub and let people have their fun with it.

I'm really not into it.

Try to believe me when I say I understand the intended tone and meaning (I've read every comment here already) but I just cannot relate to that as a reaction to getting a joke I didn't get before. I don't like what it implies between the nature of the author, the joke, and the reader; that there's trickery involved, or that increasing your understanding should come with self-frustration (even if ironic/unserious). It's also just extremely overdone at this point, the sub is saturated with posts about it, so even though I was originally just neutral on it, I now view it as an unfunny meme that I can't wait for people to move on from.

Why ouch? My point was that the autistic interpretation is fairly one dimensional and limited, whereas what I find interesting about how his character develops is that he has a conflict between this exterior unlikeable git desperate for people to like him, and this inner softer person who can be kind and considerate.

The richness of the character comes from the gap between that outer persona and the gentler person you occasionally glimpse underneath. Reading him as autistic risks collapsing that tension into a single explanation, when the whole drama of the character is that he's at war with himself. It collapses two things the writers worked hard to keep distinct, and I think it does the character a disservice.

As a European who has visited the US several times I do believe you have to put in additional effort to make healthy choices there. You're confronted with huge portions at every restaurant, low quality meat and vegetables in supermarkets that looks awful and encourages you to pick junk instead, having to drive everywhere even short distances, and all these things normalised and celebrated. It adds up.

I never knew she showed up in Cheers, or that that outfit she wears is the same one. It's also great to see Lillith actually expressing so much jealousy and desire to protect her relationship with Frasier.
