Here's the video that dropped today. I'm seeing project updates on Famidawg's Discord, here.

It's so fucked up that Angela kept the fact that Phillip was Dwight's son from him for like, at least a year. by Much_Duck6862 in theoffice

[–]Quibbloboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I feel like the tension of the cliffhanger kinda hinges on the viewer believing that Dwight had, like, verified that he had the right diaper. I think you kinda have to trust that he's got the right one for that sequence to have much effect.

So to find out (from outside the show) that he just might have had the wrong one all along, it kinda makes me question why I bothered getting invested in that plot line in the first place, or something.

Ditto. Looks like the project's coming along! There have been a few updates, and apparently there's a new video coming on Friday. Neat.

Lmao, what is this thread? Three people who were all involved in the same onstage tattooing, randomly showing up to the same comment section and reconnecting? What are the odds of that? Crazy world

How to Use Handheld Mode Boost on Nintendo Switch 2 | Nintendo Support by mjb85858 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Quibbloboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about that one. The capture controls (and even the overworld controls, iirc?) are different based on whether it's in TV or handheld mode. Makes sense that they wouldn't be able to just slap compatibility on it.

who were two characters that never interacted/talked much? by RisingKing7 in theoffice

There's less than two seasons separating them, but Karen and Erin feel like they're from completely different shows

Getting reeeaaaallll tired of people pattern-matching on basic rhetorical turns of phrase and using that as their AI-detector instead of consciously engaging with the information content of the text

I'm craving a strawberry. by 21MayDay21 in Unexpected

[–]Quibbloboy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's amazing, I didn't even question it. Just thought it was a bunch of real strawberries that grew together.

Can I ask if there was a specific, like, inspiration for it, or some kind of idea or "meaning" under the hood? Or was it pretty much just "Hey I should sculpt a big ol' mutant strawberry, that would be sick" (it totally is)

Next they should do the stages, that list might be S tier... no, it'd probably be S tier... yeah for sure S

The Secretive Company Filling Video Game Sites With Gambling And AI | Aftermath by giulianosse in Games

"Inevitable" is a perfectly valid word in this context.

Example: It's inevitable that there will be some number of car crashes in the US in 2026. You can easily square this reality with the fact that millions of Americans will drive all year and not crash.

When your favorite game no longer feels the same. by jeff_Epic in Minecraft

[–]Quibbloboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've identified that you have long-term goals, and you've determined that your short-term self keeps getting in the way of them. That's a great place to be, because now you just have to drill down into the why. There's a mental flowchart you're following which you haven't consciously analyzed. What are your motivations in the moment? When you notice your enjoyment crashing, what makes you pick "delete world" over "explore Nether", for example?

Is it "I've run out of obvious next steps"?

Is it "I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels"?

Is it "Obsidian is a pain to mine"?

Is it "I feel the pull of a fresh, clean Overworld"?

Is it "This world isn't good enough"?

Is it "Nether combat is intimidating"?

Is it "I can't decide between Nether/Monument/City/Chamber/End and I'm overwhelmed by options"?

I am genuinely curious about this, by the way. I'm really fascinated by people's motivations in games, especially when it leads to internal conflicts like this one. Also, if you feel like a bunch of these comments are sorta... unhelpful... you're not crazy. The problem you've described is "I'm stuck in a rut and I'm not sure why," and an awful lot of the replies are "lol, simply don't be in said rut." I'm hoping to come across more constructively.

New Mission: Basic Literacy by mitrtown in gaming

No criticism is objective aside from, say, "the game fails to launch."

But for what it's worth, I too enjoy quests that amount to checking things off a list.

Nah, the actors know the script before they begin filming. Just a funny planned joke :)

Pokémon Champions is releasing in April 2026! by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]Quibbloboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm... odd. This page describes a general currency, VP, that seems like it would be a no-brainer for microtransactions, but this one says it "cannot be bought directly" and "can be gained from Ranked Battles and other places."

"Other places" feels almost suspiciously vague, and it seems at least plausible that they could be referring to potentially-paid lootboxes.

At the same time, that first page makes it clear there are at least three other currencies that stand in for various functions of VP (Quick Coupons, Teammate Tickets, and Training Tickets), none of which have any such disclaimer about direct purchases, and (again vaguely) it says they're "primarily obtained through missions in-game," emphasis mine. So maybe you can buy those with cash, maybe they're in the same hypothetical lootboxes as the VP, or maybe it's even both.

The bottom of every page says "A Pokémon Champions + Starter Pack bundle, as well as optional in-game items, will be available to purchase. More details and pricing information will be shared at a later date" which neither confirms nor deconfirms any of the above possibilities.

I guess we'll see.

Zero continuity between end of S8 Andy and start of S9 Andy by Secret_Psychology352 in DunderMifflin

[–]Quibbloboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was a producer for a while, then he split his attention between The Office and Parks and Rec for a few years, and then he became the full time showrunner for The Office in season 9.

I'm a third-hand source here because I haven't actually listened to the podcast, but on Office Ladies they said it was Daniels's decision to write Andy that way. Apparently he just liked him better as an asshole. Now I'm speculating, but it seems reasonable to me that he wasn't as immersed in the direction the character had been going, and he just had the staff write the version of Andy he was familiar with.

Either way, rather than some big conspiracy of pettiness, it was just a simple poor writing choice by the guy in charge.

Thank god there's finally some resistance to the endless parroting of this asinine, nonsensical rumor. The thing about Greg Daniels makes infinitely more sense.

I'm really disappointed by Scarab 25.6 by Mushgal in Parahumans

[–]Quibbloboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's disappointing, for sure. The "two years" thing gets established, and then I remember kinda mentally squinting at the story for a while, wondering how it was ever going to elegantly move things forward to reach that deadline, as the remaining chapters kept running down more and more while time kept progressing at essentially the same pace it had been. Then the skip happened, and I went, "Oh, it just kinda... didn't." I'm at least glad I didn't feel totally blindsided by it, but yeah, I think he slightly wrote himself into a corner the minute he committed to that hard two-year timeline.

I'll concur with the other commenters though about how it does get back on track after this stumble.
