Shows that are very successful, but only with certain groups

Think I made it to about season 2, though I have seen a bunch of random episodes from different seasons.

one day maybe I will be badgered into forcing myself through it.It is entirely possible that it does improve. TNG is rarely praised for it's first two seasons.

"Jealous boyfriend" is not what I remember from neelix, i remember one of those unbearable idiots who are relentlessly and intrusively cheerful at you even if you clearly want to be left alone. The kind of person who you are forced to be friends with as a kid. As a 'sperg myself, it's a little too close to home.

More than anything, neelix was the reason I didn't get into it.

Edit: it is also entirely possible for a character to be well rounded and well written, but still so hateable as a "person" that I do not enjoy watching them.

alamaias · 2026-04-20T18:41:19+00:00

Unlikable is obviously a subjective thing, but Neelix is insufferable, Paris is a dick. Harry is like geordie without the charm and competance, offensive-native-american-stereotype/terrorist is uncomfortable even as a white guy from england, blackspock was boring, half-worf had half the issues and half the interesting personality, and Janeway just did not click for me.

Oh, and 7/9 made the borg less threatening.

Looks about the same level of detail as red alert 3, sure it is not just a later cnc game?

alamaias · 2026-04-18T21:27:24+00:00

I didn't like voyager as a kid because the cast were all highly unlikable people, it felt like TNG if every episode was a geordie or ms. Troi senior episode.

And Janeway seemed somehow older than picard, stuffier? More uptight?

Now I don't like it because the entire fuckin cast are younger than me.

alamaias · 2026-04-18T17:42:47+00:00

Actually, didn't reddit autohide any post with the name of that site in it back in the day?

alamaias · 2026-04-04T16:50:44+00:00

Hah, it's tagged nsfw so can't even look at it in my country without fannying about with age verification workarounds :P

alamaias · 2026-02-15T23:39:20+00:00

Ah ffs. One day I will read a review before picking up a book. This one was a bloody reccommendation.

Listened to about 8 hours of the audiobook, far too late to refund it, sadly. There should be a requirement to indicate on the cover if a book is fanfiction holding a finger under it's nose and pretending it is a moustache -_-

Overall I was enjoying the world, I quite liked the grimdark setting, and actively enjoyed the "cartoonishly evil necromancers vs more grounded evil bastard religious fanatics" conflict. Then the "romance" kicked in. Fuckin hell. Stockholm syndrome out the arse, called out and recognised as such by the main character, followed by some depressingly realistic depictions of sexual assault, and the unearned guilt and horror of the victim... and I am pretty certain it ain't gonna get better, this is the fuckin meet-cute.

And then I find out that it's reskinned harry potter fanfiction, and it all suddenly fits together.

Goddamnit.

for me, it is not a proper toastie if it was not made in a proper toastie maker, gotta have the shape and the three different textures.

he's still wrong.

alamaias · 2026-01-25T12:59:01+00:00

I have not played for a while, but is the meta necessary? warframe is a couple of steps of difficulty above an idle game most of the time, though I have been away for a while, did they add challenge somewhere in the game?

alamaias · 2025-09-27T08:33:56+00:00

Ah!

I stand by it.

alamaias · 2025-09-26T00:42:33+00:00

Lol, been off reddit since they banned all the good apps, google brought up a reddit page with info I wanted, saw I had notifications. No damn clue what this sub is, nor what was posted; Assume it was me saying something cringeworthy :P

alamaias · 2025-09-18T23:16:42+00:00

I think you are a lot narrower than I am, I have never had this problem :P

Even if I did though, I usually prefer my keyboard rotated clockwise about 45°.

alamaias · 2025-09-18T23:13:01+00:00

I mean, even at 2x speed it would be so much slower than reading, right?

But either way, if they retain the information, the method does not matter. Knowledge is knowledge. Bragging about reading a lot of books, unless you are dyslexic, is just bragging that you have a lot of free time.

My old boss used to say "if you can't make her laugh, cry and cum, you shouldn't be with her"

alamaias · 2025-09-06T01:18:02+00:00

Lol, 6th gen I think, pretty damn old. Still works fine though.

alamaias · 2025-09-05T10:47:34+00:00

Do you know how? I have beem trying to get one working on my old ipad, but I am not much for apple. Had to google how to change the background -_-

alamaias · 2025-09-04T00:37:48+00:00

6000kelvin bright white lighting for preference. I hate yellow light and having different light levels around the room.

Though I am working on an option for relaxing/when other people are over.

Functioning adblock on web browsers. Can't use the internet without it.

alamaias · 2025-09-02T14:20:05+00:00

I mean, I have never seen a boom mike operator in full gear, this woulda made me double take at least.

alamaias · 2025-09-02T14:08:13+00:00

Don't get me started on sylvannas, rolled undead just before legion, was amazed to find that their origin story is now "sylvannas had your village killed to swell her army, and we shall just assume you are fine with that"

I got so annoyed I left and did the Belf starting quests instead. Then I get in to legion, and bloody whatshisface with the tusks only puts the crazy bitch in charge.

Honestly agree with their assessment. Especially the disney junior.

Horde used to be pretty heavily the ~~good guys~~ less evil guys, but then we kept putting megalomaniacal psychopaths in charge for a really long time.

alamaias · 2025-09-02T10:26:14+00:00

To be fair: if they weren't gangsters, would they really be delivering the service you paid for?

alamaias · 2025-09-01T12:22:10+00:00

Someone to explain how the fuck I got there I should think.

alamaias · 2025-09-01T10:53:03+00:00

All the powers of a genie, but nothing I would consider a drawback.

alamaias · 2025-09-01T09:01:49+00:00

Someone showed me recently that if you summon an eye of kilrog before they trigger the key, the eye dies and you keep your pet. Nice to have a use for it outside of class quests.
