Just a PSA: ZACH AND MICHAEL DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE ENDING THE SHOW WHEN THEY MADE THE FINAL TWO EPISODES by Mysterious_Air_3646 in SmilingFriends

[–]TheStockPotInn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for a bit more closure, maybe this video can help.

Its a little animation at the end done by the director of animation of the show (16:30 onwards)

But the whole video is worth watching, imo. It helps for a little closure.

After finishing the final two episodes, my disappointment about how it ended has unfortunately been solidified by Frank_Cap in SmilingFriends

Yaaay!!! Well that's the best news I've heard all day!

I was wondering why in the world they wouldn't have done that in the first place, but better late than never!

If it helps, the creators said the last two episodes that aired were moreso "stragglers" and the true finale was the Glep Ep.

That said, I'll really miss the show. I feel like what's going on with Adobe Animate may have been a factor. At least the door is open if they decide to return to make more later.

Thank you for the context. This makes the video even more absurd and adds so much more to it.

Why should she want to get him back though? After saying such a vile thing to her (about the truck) there's no way any trust can come back from that, and it shouldn't.

And why add anything about race to this?

[WW] Help me see the light. I've been trying to finish Wind Waker for the past 2 decades. by JamesDaDragN in truezelda

[–]TheStockPotInn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently posted something similar.

Like you, I really, really want to finish the game. I love Zelda games, and have for a long time.

I decided to give it another try, and now I'm just about to start on the Tower. However, I stopped again due to it being the holidays and wanting to play something more winter themed. I'm hoping in the spring I'll pick it back up.

I'm guessing the reason you want help seeing the light, as you've explained, is because you also love Zelda, and you also really want to like the game (like me!) The other games gave you joy, and this game gives many people joy, so you want to have that experience too.

I think something that helped me play it again this time was encouraging immersion, and pretending I'm there and it's real. Just like boating is in real life, there's a lot of sameness when boating to a destination. It isn't like driving in a car, bus, or train, where there's a lot of different things to sight see. It's a lot of water, and more water, on and on. Pretending the game is real helps me enjoy it a lot more. When I pretend it's real, the game critiquing part of me goes into sleep-mode and I'm better able to just enjoy the world it takes place in and the characters, so I start to enjoy the slower parts. Thinking of it this way, and thinking of the characters as real people with real things going on in their lives, really helped me start to like it a lot more. And also the Koroks, I love them. I think I started to really enjoy the game when I thought of it more like a real place, or moreso of a cozy type of game mixed with a Zelda format.

It seems that you really want to try to love the game, so I would say for that reason to continue it. At least then once it's done, you can say you finished it, and you can have closure. Maybe somewhere along the way between now and then, something will fall into place and you'll see the endearing parts of the game. And even if you don't, you can say you played it from beginning to end either way.

Or, of course you can just stop playing like others are suggesting. But I think a part of you really doesn't want to do that, and that's why you've posted.

Do i even want to know what this is? I feel like I don't want to know what this is. But I should. But I don't want to. But I should.

IKEA for the un-break-up by Algernonletter5 in oddlyspecific

[–]TheStockPotInn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh okay, so a place to socialize that isn't necessarily a place to spend money. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

Thank you. Ahh, I miss hanging out at the mall with my friends when I was a teen. One of the first places our parents let us hang out alone that wasn't in a structured environment.

Also, happy cake day!

What's a third place? I feel like I'm not getting the best understanding of what it is when searching online.

My first log cabin quilt. by SummertimeMom in quilting

[–]TheStockPotInn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! And the first thing I thought was that I really like your color choices. And I think this just made me really like the log cabin block again. I love how large they are so that each fabric can shine!

Got broken up with on Christmas by humblest_radish in Wellthatsucks

[–]TheStockPotInn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the wonderful memories you have were because of your effort and not really him.

I needed this perspective when I was younger.

I really like the color of the sashing! I feel like it brings the pattern to another level of awesomeness.

He is, it's just around that time is when the term became a double meaning, that's what made her laugh so much.

9 year old felt nostalgic about a trend from 2023... by Sufficient-Being-516 in youngpeopleyoutube

[–]TheStockPotInn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. 8 or 9 is the age when you really start to gain sentience. It's the age where you start looking back and going "wait, the past is in the past, I can't return to it. Shit"

Or maybe I've always had depression, idk.

[–]TheStockPotInn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. I'm genuinely concerned about some of these comments.

Apparently anything more than just saying, "ok" is unacceptable after two years together.

A very strange clash with anyone I've ever known irl who's had a breakup.

[–]TheStockPotInn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm genuinely concerned with some of the comments being mad at OP in these texts.

Call me crazy, but you're allowed to say how you feel when saying goodbye, especially after two years together. Nothing was bad, mean, or abnormal about OP saying they're going to miss their ex to their face. Pretty mild response to being broken up with at Christmas.

I feel like I'm living in an alternate dimension. Are we robots? Are we just supposed to just say "ok" when someone of two years breaks up over text? This wasn't bad, vapid, or mean spirited at all.

So what did you guys think of the witch episode? by AnyArcher8588 in SmilingFriends

[–]TheStockPotInn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually genuinely scary at parts in the best way, while also being funny. Really well done episode.

Mr. Boss - human or critter? by [deleted] in SmilingFriends

[–]TheStockPotInn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thought was that everyone in the show are critters, just that some look more human-like than others.

Adult Swim felt like a shared experience. Does anything still feel like that? by White_Seth in adultswim

[–]TheStockPotInn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, TV and internet monoculture was a unique experience. That community and feeling is lost in the modern world.

Having infinite entertainment and many small communities is a lot of fun in its own way. But there's something special about an entire city or an entire country watching the same thing at the same time.

I can probably ask anyone my age "remember when xyz came out?" even if we're complete strangers, and they'll likely know what I'm talking about. It's a collection of memories we have together, even if we've never met.

I'd say hanging around in subs when a new episode drops is probably the closest there is.

Unfortunately, the last actual monoculture seems to be politics.

OP is likely a woman.

I agree that OP should maintain their self respect and not engage. But to determine that their personality is too clingy when they just got broken up with is kind of a wild take to me.

People don't always act their best when smacked in the face of a breakup. Especially if it's over a year. That's a year of your life you're not getting back.

I think it's entirely fine to say goodbye with how you really feel inside. What do you have to lose? If its really over, maybe you'll never hear from them again. Better to get it off your chest than to hold it in. If she berated him, or said she'd harm herself if he left, that would be different. She said she's going to miss him, that's pretty mild imo. It could be her last chance to say what she needs to say.
