IKR they won't even give us Gremlins III, where they kill Hulk Hogan for real

Yeah but people aren't going to read 300+ page novels to understand the lore of M:TG, they want to have it explained in an entertaining way over the course of about 2 hours.

Also, The Thran would be awesome as a movie. Hell, I'd even go see a stage production of The Thran.

Most of the franchises that were supposed to make lots of money in the 2000's (D&D, GI: Joe, MLP) wound up fizzling in the latter half of the decade and into the 2010's (maybe MLP is the exception to this, but IIRC, Bronies being chuds put a huge dent in their sales)

The success of Honor Among Theives and Barbie showed there's still elements of the pop culture nostalgia market that can be mined for profit.

This being a hypothetical, Sisyphus only exists inside our imaginations. We MUST imagine Sisyphus as happy, regardless of whether or not he actually is. Those are the rules.

I watched some of the new Takeshi's Castle with neither subs nor dubs and found it enjoyable regardless. It might be the way I watch anime going forward. Asserting dominance through willful ignorance.

Oh yeah you left the D&D server and then I don't think any of us heard from you again. You missed @Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net using his breath weapon in the sewers and decimating the trade district.

Did he? I mean I guess he did. I suppose finding us is like walking in on your neice/nephew doing something just slightly weirder than what you were doing at that age. You can definitely see yourself in them but it's still unsettling.

To think there was such a long stretch where Eugene_V_Dabs' body of work was inaccesible to anyone who hadn't already saved it.

Edit: Oh also the time Big Money Salvia dropped by.
