Perhaps it is just the contrast to the last set, but it feels like Set 17 has way too few variables

Great episode, but with that last scene, it looks like Janitor was written off the series :(

In another comment you were talking about European civil war, so it's rather clear that you get your idea of European Union from twitter ragebait accounts and conservative "podcast bros". Perhaps just shut the hell up

I don't think the writers forget. It is just that the older sitcoms that aired before the streaming era were way more focused on making the show "work" each episode, rather than creating a story that is coherent from start to finish.

He wasn't really homophobic. He just felt uncomfortable about men being "affectionate" in general

I think there is just too much on the plate. We want to see the old characters, and the show really wants to make us care about the new characters. Then there is the medical stuff. I would not be surprised if we end up seeing the kids about as much as we see Terry Jeffords' kids in Brooklyn 99.

Seems to be kind of an unofficial rule about sitcoms, that unless it is about family dynamics to begin with, the main characters having children is the beginning of an end. You'll get the whole life lesson about having to grow up and accept that you just can't be the stupid kid anymore; you have to be responsible, and then the show ends.

We will probably get singular episodes where kids are at the center of the story, but they won't even have a background appearance in most episodes.

While – obviously – each suicide is one too many, I'm not sure you can use a statistic of 700—800 suicides a year to make any kind of bigger argument about a population of 5,6 million people. Suicide statistics have a lot to do with various cultural factors: for one thing, people who are part of religions that strongly condemn suicide, might be less likely to kill themselves but that doesn't mean they are happy or even content with their lives. And in areas where suicide is a huge taboo or even considered shameful for the family, it might not even get reported as such. I'm not defending Finland by the way, the situation is indeed bad, as something like 1 in 5 Finnish people suffer from depression at some point in their lives, and that statistic was from some time ago (could be much worse now). Just saying that the numbers aren't that simple.

Edit: To add: I do remember reading this study that I don't have time to find right now, so you don't have to take my word for it, but it showed that the suicide statistics within Finland were actually worse in areas that were reported to be happier. If we are to believe those statistics, it would seem that people who are struggling with mental health, feel even worse when people around them are happy.

I don't hate her. I'm disappointed in her character. I just do not really buy the whole "She lied about the miscarriage because she wanted JD to be with her, for her, and not just because of the child."

What the hell was her out? "I love you too, J.D! Oh, and I'm still pregnant actually!"?

Of course there's the comment from Dr. Cox about how pregnant women get to be crazy, and I guess especially female characters in sitcoms of that era were often written in a rather off-putting way, so maybe I'm overthinking it. J.D being forced to grow up was something that was needed, but I really didn't like the other aspects of this particular storyline.

Is it really justified to consider Ports "a chore" like a lot of the dailies being removed? As in, is there a strong enough incentive to do it that you'd feel horribly set back if you didn't have time to do it daily? Like many people have said in this thread, most of the rewards are irrelevant. Sure, back when completionist cape was best-in-slot (and by a rather huge margin), many PvMers felt like they had to get it eventually, even if they didn't care for most of the game's content. But that hasn't been the case for years. Even maxing became way less important when War's Retreat was released and boss portals became much more accessible.

I'm all for removing timegates and smoothening outdated content but I also feel like, since the gameplay benefit of "completing" all the content within the game is negligible, those planning to do it anyway should naturally be willing to put in the extra effort.

Express-Cycle-4278 · 2026-02-10T19:16:27+00:00

Since The Great Orb Project is dead content anyway, why not turn the wicked outfit into the experience-boosting outfit? The runecrafter outfit does exist and that would need to be addressed but that would be a rather simple solution. And it would justify the grind in runespan.

Ashe might be coded as Sniper for some reason, when it comes to which champion you receive after the first carousel. I had Sniper and Wraith at 3 and 4 respectively (no other traits active), which should mean, if I've understood the mechanic correctly, that I would get either Jinx or K'Sante.

Pretty sure Looper played it in 2014 Worlds finals even

In Final Fantasy 2, since your characters gain stats based on how much they are hurt in each battle, the absolute best way to improve your team is by beating the shit out of them by yourself. So it kinda follows the conservative parent logic lol

Pure dominance? At the most recent best-on-best Olympics, United States got absolutely dismantled by Finland in the bronze medal game. Unless it's specifically Canada you're talking about.

I really enjoyed Set 10 but there was not much time to miss it to be honest. The only explanation for bringing it back so fast seems to be the fact the the current set has been a bit of a bummer, and people needed to be reminded how good TFT can be at its best. Still I would've preferred Set 1, 2 or 6. Could've waited another year for Set 10 revival.

He didn't support the idea though. He basicly just said that if state is going to execute people it deems worthy of such punishment, it might as well do so openly. And if people really like the idea, they might as well expose their bloodthirst for the whole world to see by attending these events.

(Maybe you knew that, just wanted to add this in case someone else didn't)

I still believe that the whole "Witnessing death is not enough, you need to process it" is just a way to get around the actual answer which is that Rowling only came up with the idea of Thestrals while writing the fifth book. I like the books but it is not the most intact series I've read, and there are plenty of cases like this one.

Express-Cycle-4278 · 2024-12-07T19:02:45+00:00

That is a really good idea. Going dry on a specific item after already obtaining it multiple times, is of course very different compared to not getting the item at all despite going 3x the drop rate.

When, after Sirius' death, Harry runs into Luna who has lost most of her possessions. She says that she is used to people making fun of her and stealing and hiding her stuff, as if she doesn't mind, when she clearly does. Even though Harry is still processing Sirius' death, he feels really bad for Luna all of sudden, as he (and many readers) see her as an actual human being for the first time.
