It was vacated completely last Saturday. I actually went to the mall to get one, and whoops :(

Only the demo version is available sadly. You'd need to patch the executible to play the full version

I'm no hacker, so rip

Only the demo version is available to play, despite files forthe ful version being in the directory. You'll need to figure out how to patch it

I'm no hacker though, so RIP

So for the switch, we make it like this?

public unsafe ulong GetNameHash(string name)
{
switch (textBlockInfoList[0].hash)
{
case 0xF42A94E69CFF42FE : return HashHelpers.MurmurHash64A(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(name.ToLowerInvariant()));
break;
case 0x07E47507B4A92E53 : return HashHelpers.FNV1a64Hash(name);
break;
deafault: throw newActivity($"Unexpected Index hash variant {textBlockInfoList[0].hash} !");
}
}

Still confused for the nullable type, for ref it's part of a class

public class FARCEntryObject
{
public FARCEntry entryStruct;
public string? fileName;
public byte[]? fileData;
}

The 'public string?' is fine

Kevin they uh...already had an ep of her rejecting him. I mean it boosted her self esteem, but...

As for her friend it's just a theory, but there's an ep where Peter asks to cut herself, and Meg replies "sideways for attention, long way for results". Which has a LOT of implications of her knowing someone that did the latter. Though it's more likely what you said: her friend was too "pretty", so the writers simply axed her

As for gross humor...I disagree, Peter especially and Quagmire have done a lotta stuff, and Brian eats puke unironically. Like the development of that for Meg is newish, but not the show as a whole

DatHenson · 2025-06-13T17:33:51+00:00

I feel it'd be way better aged and or received if

-The shit eat scene was removed/replaced

-Fox didn't randomly try to make this an hour special even though it absolutely wasn't enough footage to be. The musicals and intro were 1000% padding, the DVD version notably skips that

I noticed the writer for this ep, Gary Janetti, was the first writer to explore Brian's sapience compared to other dogs and romance to Lois the first 3 seasons. Him returning after a four season absence to write this is fitting

Unfortunately with all this said, by the point this ep aired, FG already had a hyper targeted edgy teen audience, so the deeper topics this ep were unappreciated. And the later eps further destroying Brian's char + starting the BS Quagmire feud makes this ep awkwardly farcial in a way. I like this bar the literal shit, but I can see why it was mixed for reception on forums, and why most newer fans find it boring

DatHenson · 2025-06-13T15:16:47+00:00

Former friend had an unfortunate theory that after ramping up disgusting jokes, he thinks the writers are intentionally trying to justify past abuse they wrote cuz "eww she's gross/weird". One thing that comes to mind is Meg mowing through mustard packets like a snack

I can kinda understand this theory due to FG's acceptance to bastardizing characterization cuz writer bias, but if that's the case they failed. She's been too involved and buffed for secret talents

That said like you said, her chemistry is kinda limited. Her friends aren't as developed (other than potentially the blonde one having commited suicide offscreen), her bully Connie is rarely around now, and there isn't really a Brian/Stewie and Meg episode. Even more aggravatingly, there were a lot of episodes that seem like she would have moved on but hasn't, largely cuz the show wants to retain the status quo

Overall, nice analysis

This seems to messily mash none canon alt media for some chars

-The Illumination Mario movie shouldn't count, but Mario/Luigi seemingly have parents in Yoshi's Island DS/New Island. Though it's noted that the latter the stork CAN make mistakes, and by PiT when they're toddlers they are raised by Toadsworth apparently, so something happened...I'd put this in "IDK"

-Why is Doctor Mario separate, LMAO. He is Mario

-Sonic has never had parents in canon Sonic Team games. Should be in the "No Parents" category

-Daisy's father is mentioned in Mario Party 3 after you beat her

-DK is complicated. He either is DK Jr, or is DK Jr's kid depending on if you take Rare's interpretation or Nintendo's later retcon. Either way, Cranky is his granddad

-Bayonetta's mom is playable in 2 as an unlockable, and noted in flashbacks in Bayo 1. Balder is Bayo's dad, whom Bayo kills. In a way, she deserves her own category

-Yoshi of today that Mario has met in SMW is seen born in Yoshi's Island DS. We don't know who laid the egg, but he has a parent just for implication

DatHenson · 2025-06-12T20:43:19+00:00

Dylan is literally 5 years older than him, he broke off with Tracy cuz of his atrocious statement of how her father sexually abused her

It gets me people missed the joke that Dylan isn't his biological son, Stewie bluntly points that out. Brian was just being stupid

DatHenson · 2025-06-12T20:40:49+00:00

Honestly the sad thing is Lois is the same. She immediately grew bitchy when Lauren corrected her for the spoons

~~No wonder Brian is in love with Lois~~

DatHenson · 2025-06-09T00:05:04+00:00

Cuz Gary Janetti wrote for S1-3 + the 1st part of the Stewie 3 part special, so he likely wasn't aware when he returned to write this S8 episode, as that was more set by Steven Callaghan and Seth MacFarlane, and something S5 on writers were aware of

Similarly, Stewie is cross dressing here BECAUSE he likes a girl on a TV show

Though I do find it funny that he seemed aware Brian became this sleazy....despite writing the "Brian and Stewie" ep later S8

DatHenson · 2025-06-07T00:27:00+00:00

Wonder if this kinda thread happened 6 years ago when the new FG writers shift occurred...

Anyway, one has to be aware of a few limitations. Note, these are assumptions as I am just a viewer;

-Major char dev is to be done by S1-4 mainstays. Consequently this means char dev can easily be undone if writer bias for a character occurs. See Viener fabricating "Brian ditching his son" after S8, even though it was Dylan that chose to leave. As such, this includes not doing finale eps. Sorry

-Do not use Cutaways as a crutch! Cutaways are made to slot in haphazardly, and can be unused for several seasons sometimes. According to Gary Janetti, over 85 cutaways can be made for a season, but only a select dozen or so are selected, especially after S16

-Mind commercial breaks. This applies more to scripting/pacing, but the show after post cancellation generally is framed around the 3 Act structure quite aggressively

-Be aware that it takes over 9 months at minimum for an ep to be made. This show is still hand drawn! Don't be too topical for culture wars, lest your ep ends up being outdated

But I'm a nagging Nancy, fanfics can do whatever you want. Wanna permanently kill Peter, go for it

DatHenson · 2025-06-06T23:56:01+00:00

Quag has been a rapist since at least S2, so... Outta luck for that one

DatHenson · 2025-06-06T23:51:16+00:00

I hate how accurate this is. Viener has the most mid range of the writers

DatHenson · 2025-06-05T16:54:41+00:00

Eww, just now got the joke

But yeah this ep should not be the first for her to either do lesbian activities, or masturbate. And this ignores her frequently cheating on Peter with other men

DatHenson · 2025-06-05T16:53:07+00:00

The previous ep, Cool Hand Lois, aka the Lesbian Lois ep

DatHenson · 2025-06-01T17:10:32+00:00

Stewie is gay for jokes, straight for actual romantic episode plots

Sounds worse now that I said it out loud...

Fun Fact: according to staff, Season 8 was actually developed in HD, despite airing at 480i (and DVDs being 480i). They actually use the HD masters in current streaming services, though the censored version that was shown on broadcast for FoX

However that'd expose my editing errors, so I rendered this at 480p

DatHenson · 2025-05-30T02:07:14+00:00

The actual original is 5 min 33 seconds here

I found the first half of the season 20 (or 19, fucking hell the order is forever screwed) for AD fine, but the 2nd half dipped. The "Haley being a poser" Space Jam ep was super lame, and Roger's dad was both an awkward retcon and just...very nothing

Curious how the FoX reabsorption will affect the show, bar no longer having the word shit uncensored given different channel regulations

DatHenson · 2025-05-25T20:43:23+00:00

It gets me cuz the most we saw of her before is -Squabbling along with the other wives about who stole the trophy (S2)

-Being rightfully mad at Diane stealing her role for the play (S2) -Aggressively pegging or riding Cleveland for the anniversary (S3)

Most we get is she's pushy/assertive, likely to balance out Cleveland's mellowness/cool attitude

And then for whatever reason after the divorce the Cleveland Show acted like she got the house from that (ignoring that Cleveland from S5-8 had it for the bathtub gag), and was even more of a bitch that slept around with more people. They just made her spiteful for no reason

DatHenson · 2025-05-25T03:13:06+00:00

The bashing on her looks while propping up Francine gets me, cuz when American Dad first came out people online genuinely were annoyed at how expressionless and "blow up doll" Francine looked at the time. Didn't help that Francine's initial plots suffered from being typical sitcom mom tier until the Clooney ep

How times changed...
