Honestly, the sd card is arguably more important. I mean, headphones, there are workarounds like adaptors or wireless. But being able to stick a 1tb sd card in is just sooo good, basically a portable PC. There is no workarounds for sd card slot.

People will inevitably come in here saying "whatabout the Maverick and Colorado?" but those trucks are all the size of full size HDs from 30 years ago.

Edit: don't even get me started on the Tacoma bloat, the "only mid-size truck on that market" which is the same size as a Humvee.

Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?

That show ended way too soon.

Travelers TV Show. Doesn't even need the original actors, its perfect scenario for a reboot with different characters.

The Expanse. I mean come on, there still so much book material left... 🙄

And SD Card slots, god damnit. I don't wanna spend +$500 more just for 1tb storage, a 1tb sd card is like $100. Fuck these greedy corporations.

I get so petty about this that I got an A series samsung phone instead of the S series, just for the sd card slot.

The show runners for The Expanse claimed that they ended the show where they did because the show had reached a natural conclusion, the books took a giant time leap, and they felt the rest of the story would be better developed into a sequel series at a later time.

Inside Job. Canceling a series when there's a cliffhanger should be illegal!

Also, Windows Mixed Reality, my VR headset is going to become a paperweight when I'll be forced to migrate off Windows 10 in a year.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Upset about both of those too.

The WMR thing is bugging me so much. Like release whatever is needed to open the hardware if you're done with it, jerks!

I have a Samsung Odyssey+ that's a fantastic unit that of course I can't run when I mainline Linux these days. Monado is making impressive gains but the fact that they basically need to hack and reverse engineer the thing out of being e-waste is just messed up.

I really like VR and want to make things for it. But I can't swing a Steam set and there's no way I'm giving a single rotten cent to Facebook if I can help it!

Like others said there's still ways to keep it working but it feels iffy enough that it could just break at any moment =\

Not "technically" discontinued, but almost

Buying products and owning them.

Buying products and getting full repair manuals and electrical schematics

Cathode ray tubes

Overbuilt refrigerators and washing machines

Clothes that last and are repairable

Houses built with full bricks and iron with actual straight walls and unbroken woodwork

Firefly! We need more seasons of that amazing show!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I used to think like you, then I saw some sit down with joss whedon and the rest of the cast where he talked about where the series would have gone if it hadn't been axed by Fox after the first season, and man it was a WEIRD talk. Joss started going on about the eventually fate of Inara and not only was it super harsh, but Joss kept giving Inara's actor the creepiest looks and I sware on me mum the whole table got skeeved out.

Honestly made me appreciate Serenity that much more as the cap to the series

So what they actually did was basically flawless from start to finish.

But give me 100 more episodes of the Good Place anyways.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I agree but at the same time I'm happy it got an actual ending instead of being drug out because of its popularity.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

What they did was perfect, and there's no way they could have just added stuff and had it be the show it was. They stuck to the vision and nailed the fuck out of it.

But I could also sit and watch a lot of episodes of reboots 2-5000 or whatever. The chemistry of that cast playing those characters with that writing was all magic.

Coyote vs Acme

The movie is already completely finished, but some "genius" thinks that they'll make more money by shelving it and claiming it for a tax-writeoff.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

My name is Earl.

Loved this series so much. After finding out how they were going to end it, I would have loved to have watched it play out.

Santa Clarita Diet.

Just needed one more season to wrap things up. Damn you Netflix

How about things that never were but have always existed? Been waiting my entire adult life (I’m 42) for GRRM to finish Game of Thrones. My kid was 2 when the last book came out and now he’s driving lol

F-ZERO. Most innovative racing series of all time. F-ZERO 99 is cute and all, but high-speed was never the same after 2003. Aero GPX proves the most promising project since, and it is good.

Mind Hunter on Netflix.

Also JC Chasez’s second solo album that got shelved. I’ve been on an *NSYNC kick lately and would have loved more music from him.

Megaman Legends 3

Our boy is still stranded on the moon!

Worst thing is that they had a nearly complete demo of it for the 3DS, and released some video of the demo and testing stuff in-engine during development, then like a day before it was supposed to drop they cancelled the whole damn thing because supposedly not enough fans participated in their fan forums/events.

They could have at least released the damn demo! It was already finished! Would have cost them fucking NOTHING.

And then the series creator Inafune fumbled making a spiritual sequel to Megaman when he Kickstarted Mighty No.9, so when he tried to Kickstart Red Ash as one for Legends it failed to meet the goal.

Still frustrates me.

Lays had some chocolate covered potato chips that would come out around the holidays. I didn't care for them myself, but my wife loved them and I miss buying them for her

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Look at this gift of the magi level motherfucker. You can have anything in the entire world that you miss, and it's the joy of getting something for your wife. You're a good person.

Sarah Connor chronicles, Stargate Universe just of the top of my head, they weren't anything special but still enjoyed watching them and would have liked to see how they would have wrapped it up, a closure of sorts instead of leaving them in limbo like Half-Life.

A super niche one: the 2000s show "John Doe"

A guy wakes up with amnesia and doesn't know who he is

But he basically knows everything else.

Weird mystery that ended on a cliffhanger and basically no questions answered (although the show creator later revealed the later plans and plot)

I'd like it if Joss Whedon could finish a series. Firefly? The Nevers? So much potential to just get thrown away after one season.

Probably showing my age here, but OK Soda. That stuff was great.

Close runner up was Josta, which was briefly the official drink of GWAR (at least according to GWAR).

Stargate Universe, Alphas and Dark Matter. All left on cliffhangers. Sometimes I wonder if the writers see the writing on the wall on the cancelation and pull this shit to see if people get a petition going to have their show come back.

I always thought discontinuing the 3ds series was stupid. Nintendo switch is good and all but there is something about this console

Miiverse on the Wii U. Every games felt like a community. You could share tips, screenshots, etc… some games even had integrations like chat bubbles in Mario Maker. I always went out of my way to pick up a message in a bottle in Windwaker.

When they shut it down, the console main screen felt VERY empty and each players, very alone (You can spare the jokes about how we were alone anyway since it didn’t sell well)
