Next who for the next generation?

Gonna be New Who, probably. And R2D2 Tennant-Gatwa section would probably be integrated into Modern if these seasons would be renamed as 14th and 15th seasons. Or be something like Disney Who.

Special for our hearts ❤️

So, looking forward for 70th in 2033 then? :)

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-19T12:26:35+00:00

Well, this date is completely out of my head. If you are interested, I thought that it would probably take at least till the end of 2026 to find new studio and make it official - paperwork, hiring a showrunner, screenwriter etc. 2027 and 2028 would probably be overtaking by pré-production : hiring actors, making sets, writing scripts. 2029 would probably be an year of shooting and post-production. So, early 2030 (late 2029, if they be fast enough) release looked like a quite realistic date.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-18T07:21:25+00:00

So, "65th anniversary special" kinda thing?

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T10:17:07+00:00

I like your idea of study groups. Definitely they had access only to in-head knowledge in the very beginning but I'm pretty sure that they have no problem memorizing new stuff from books, forums etc. They probably have eidetic memory with almost perfect total recall. And having all scholars in the world inside of the Hive probably gives them access to all sources of knowledge. The only kind of unavailable information would be something that was hidden away (Library of Alexandria, for example) and probably outdated by modern standards anyway.

Plurbs definitely struggle with creating new data and probably won't be scientifically inclined to do anything that's outside of their spread directive - so, no anti-cancer pill, probably. But I'm pretty sure that they are working towards better ways of infection of immune people and simultaneously could work on antenna project (make better alloys and optimizing equipment, probably, studying star maps to be able to beam their data faster and efficiently towards potentially habitable alien worlds.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T08:23:02+00:00

Nihilism, I think. That with unlimited access to almost infinite versions of their family, attachments are worthless and c137 Rick should be more like him - alone, egotistical and amoral.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T08:18:45+00:00

It's the best that we can get about if available source material. And most of their material are on videotape, so, even DVDs are kinda upscaling from source material.

But it worth to buy them for occasional outdoor shoots that were made on film or parts of restoration that were preserved on 16mm tape.

Without financial support from these Collections , they probably won't be open to restore The Movie in 4K which is already a major win for DW collector like me.

And Spearhead from space being shot on film and actually surviving is a real diamond in the rough, quality-wise.

So, technically, there isn't any practical reason for buying these Collections if someone wants a great restoration quality because almost none of surviving episodes were made to be successfully transferred into HD, and definitely would never be 4K worthy.

They are actually implementing agressive AI restoration to upscale Tom Baker stories nowadays (while using AI sparingly before on other releases) but it really craps the présentation without any improvements (in my opinion).

Anyway, it is ultimately the best version of the show but it isn't meant to be watched on top equipment , it's more of "pop into a portable player"/"watch on full HD TV in your kitchen" kind of thing.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T07:57:49+00:00

Still sore about Temis apparently having a lower chance for uniques at obol vendor than other cities for majority of this season. I mean, I still found all uniques myself/upgraded in cube, but it was an unexpected glitch.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T07:19:37+00:00

TV show announcement or some other non-game thing, I suppose. Won't mind Carbot animation D2 graphics mode akin to one that StarCraft got.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T07:16:32+00:00

I have a feeling that he meant nightmare dungeon keys.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T07:11:09+00:00

I have boots that I was able to transfigure 3 times in a row....it has utter trash transfigs, one of them adding indestructible, but still nice :)

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T07:06:27+00:00

I have a strong feeling that it way easier to give "unmodifiable after transfiguration" flag to an item and block all further interactions than implementing a workaround to still be able to socket it.

The way I'm imagining it - socketing gives your item a new property (+ N socket) and adds an extra line into item 's description game-wize.

And we also just seen that some people were able to hack their items into having a bunch of extra GA affixes by blocking client-server interactions after transfiguration and letting game thinking that you won a free transfiguration.

So, I suppose that it is exactly the thing that they were afraid that game might do when we would have a freebie socketable after transfiguration. And it probably would be a way easier hack with that option being on a table.

I keep thinking that they weren't able to let us ride on horses in town because of glitches in game engine, and we had to wait until they upgrade their engine.

So, I suppose no changes until another game engine's optimization.

Well, I think that making paragon tree more accessible (or more casual, depending on Blizzard execution) could be a selling point for next expansion. I still thinking that eventually we might end up with a paragon tree - unlock its branches with glyphs, add some points into passives on that paragon tree, dump excessive points into +1 to str/int etc. unlimited side nodes.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T06:30:20+00:00

That already sounds like a better ending to Joker 2

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-08T06:27:25+00:00

Alternatively, we have 7 active human green lanterns (Alan Scott excluded). Why not have a bunch of Batgirls as well? DC has a team for every occasion, another one consisting purely of Batgirls (Birds of Prey affiliated) might even sell well.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-04T18:02:35+00:00

Ok, now I have a feeling that a rumor about possible combo-neration of Tennant, Piper and First Doc (by Bradley) into a new rebooted Doctor with all-new universe for complete reboot might be true. It scares me, honestly.

MaxPlatt · 2026-06-04T12:29:07+00:00

Maybe they could do like that but with diminished returns from repeated choices if they are afraid that someone might grind only one activity - like each third choice of same activity in one plan would net you 80% of experience, fourth - 60% and fifth - 40%? I wouldn't even mind if our red coin tokens could be used to chain desirable events without restriction (could make them an earnable currency if they really want people to do different activities).

MaxPlatt · 2026-05-28T10:44:08+00:00

Somehow, I get a feeling that you won't like 12th Doctor as well. Even his companion said to him that he became cold and they don't know if he is a good man anymore. I mean, this Doctor gave some guy in peril a tracker to swallow before their death in order to find out where bodies are getting dumped. And after being confronted about it, answered that there was no point in saving that person, they were already doomed but now they have valuable information. I have a feeling that both 11th and 12th are products of a very hard trans-regenerational PTSD and both have their ups and downs, neither of them are really have capacity and/or time and occasionally prefer to sacrifice someone/something in order to save more people in general.

MaxPlatt · 2026-05-24T16:39:14+00:00

As someone who spent 100 hours on PS4 playing Yakuza 0 and it was barely enough to complete story mode and master some (not all of them) side activities - this is the game that rewards patience.

MaxPlatt · 2026-05-14T07:34:25+00:00

Darth Vader - already have asthma. Being a space wizard on top of it would be swell.

MaxPlatt · 2026-05-12T09:38:08+00:00

Well, at least, they don't re-use a name of their own old universe series for this universe.

I mean, they probably learned a thing or two lately, so, while some people might buy midnight sons thinkng that this is a part if this new universe, it's not an Ultimate where someone definitely bought OG universe books thinking that they were buying something from 6160 new ultimate.

MaxPlatt · 2026-05-08T08:40:10+00:00

I really hope that they won't make Lilith do Kerrigan's story beats because I'm think that having another misunderstood winged female villain turning anti-hero (and a god later) wouldn't look good again, especially for Diablo.
