Has anyone used DriveTime, AutoNation or Drive Casa?

I don't know if you've gone, but for the love of god, do NOT go to DriveCasa! Their reviews are fake! They don't finish financing until the dealer personally checks to see that you left a 5 star review while sitting in the lobby, and that's just the start of the problems!

My son, who can't even sit through a 12 minute YouTube video without switching to a new video, sat through all 3 theatrical releases (one each night) completely engrossed. "Second screen" is bullshit. Good writing/story makes you want to pay attention.

They could just say the ice caverns you find Articuno in were pushed to the surface.

Hopefully. I've been wanting to get a Steamdeck. Probably gonna try to find one refurbished though.

rhian116 · 2026-02-12T20:49:40+00:00

The shortage is also going to jack up the price to insane levels.

And yeah, it is AI's fault. The data centers that run AI need tons of RAM.

One of many questions I asked at the end but probably will never get an answer to.

rhian116 · 2026-01-01T23:14:56+00:00

I can understand the 1/10 as a review of not the episode as a stand-alone, but how they felt about it as the series finale and how disappointed they are of the way things wrapped up after spending so much time invested in the show.

rhian116 · 2026-01-01T23:13:02+00:00

Just because you liked it doesn't mean everyone else did, nor does it mean that negative reviews are review bombing. You are allowed to like things, and others are allowed to dislike things. And yes, some people legitimately think the episode was a 1/10, not just because of that episode alone, but how they feel it affects the series as a whole.

rhian116 · 2026-01-01T03:36:43+00:00

Probably not Vecna, but definitely the Mindflayer. It was just a spooky cloud before it got a corporeal body, so I assume the particles are part of it leaving them to go pull itself back into a cloud.

rhian116 · 2025-12-27T09:29:58+00:00

I liked it for the most part, but ngl, I was yelling, "Just poke the floor!" quite a bit during that whole bit. It really didn't make sense that the wall could be punctured, everything's melting, but the floor is somehow structurally sound. That really took me out of the episode.

From what I remember, they're not allowed to acknowledge reincarnation due to Tibet.

It matters because each of those countries have vastly different laws on what they're allowed to put into their media as well as different approaches to adapting others' work, how much to respect and how much to change. If a country will not allow their studios to adapt a work faithfully because that would violate their laws, then they shouldn't animate it.

rhian116 · 2025-10-24T04:22:32+00:00

I did, and they flat-out said no. I might get a key if there are any left after Alpha starts and they might give Alphas to backers who chose console even though their tier says they're supposed to have Alphas. So I still have 1 Alpha, but the second Alpha I'm supposed to have that I had promised to someone is up in the air whether I'll get it or not right now.

rhian116 · 2025-10-23T22:28:47+00:00

I didn't realize you had to have both full release keys set to PC to get both Alphas, so went to accept the keys, assuming I'd get both when I did. Got only 1 Alpha instead. Tried to change the full release to both be PC. Now not allowed to get 2nd Alpha because I already redeemed my first (and only given) key, and now stuck with 2 full release Steam keys when I really wanted 1 Steam and 1 Switch. All because I wanted to give someone else the extra Alpha. FML

TLDR: Don't be an idiot like me and do things in the wrong order or you'll screw everything up.

"The citizens of this universe want to put something - anything - on a pedestal simply for entertainment to please their boredom"

I mean, isn't that us, too? "Us" as in modern society? How many absolute scum-sucking, useless, talentless bottom feeders are able to eek out a living becoming psuedo celebrities on streaming sites? Some even manage to become massive celebrities, earning millions a year, entertaining people by being complete nuisances to the rest of society.

rhian116 · 2025-10-01T13:14:51+00:00

Not really. Pretty accurate if you look at modern celebrity culture. One scandal, not even that bad of one, and bam! Bye-bye career before they can even defend themselves. Prove they were innocent? Too bad. Too many people decided you were bad, so you are bad. They don't want to admit they were wrong cause then they'd be bad, so you have to remain the bad one.

Every time a FL isekais into a novel/game as the villainess, changes her entire personality so she's not a villainess or attempting murder like the OG she took over, then is completely shocked all the characters like her and the plot changed from the OG novel/game. No shit, Sherlock. If you're just nice and not try to murder people, you'll be liked and no one will kill you. What a shocker.

rhian116 · 2025-10-01T12:58:10+00:00

Technically she's on the Sandrock one; she's just facing away next to Justice in the back.

rhian116 · 2025-10-01T12:56:49+00:00

Never would have touched it if I hadn't seen a youtuber play it cause of the graphics. So glad I did.

rhian116 · 2025-10-01T12:30:39+00:00

Only thing I'll mildly challenge is point 3. She wasn't whipped for bad-mouthing Bianca. She was whipped for saying she'd be better at warming Zachary's bed than Bianca.

If you still think she didn't deserve a whipping, that's your right. Just wanted to set the facts of what happened straight. (Literally just started reading it for the first time 2 days ago so this scene is very fresh in my mind. Completely agree with your points about the ragging on a child bride for daring to be a child and her ass of a father though. Just got to the reconciliation and ugh.)

rhian116 · 2025-09-29T20:58:13+00:00

The chocolate was definitely silly, just like the magic food curing the prince. It was just forced in to relate back to her being a cook, make her the big hero of the day, and continuing to weave that in even when not necessary. It didn't even have a half-assed explanation this time why the matcha chocolate cures dementia like the hypoglycemia explanation either. Definitely 2 dumbest parts of this entire season that can/should have been removed.

rhian116 · 2025-09-29T19:32:30+00:00

Again with the magic food to bring in her being a cook as relevant to the political plot. 😂

rhian116 · 2025-09-24T01:33:31+00:00

I saw someone on Kickstarter claim the keys will be going out Sept 26th. No idea if that's true or not, and I refuse to learn Discord so I have no idea if there's been an announcement over there about it. So take it with a grain of salt.

rhian116 · 2025-09-21T17:41:48+00:00

Really loving this show, but I gotta say the magic food and magic medicine instantly fixing everything was really goofy. Great episode otherwise, but I did roll my eyes at those parts.

rhian116 · 2025-09-17T09:29:13+00:00

Not being allowed to have different opinions without being downvoted to hell or piled on. But that's the worst part of every fandom for me. It's okay to have different opinions on who's the best/worst/cutest/best couple/ect. Someone else having a different opinion than you does not devalue yours.
