I'll be honest, I kinda forgot that guy existed. I didn't really notice any difference while he was gone.

The fusion retcon was stupid. And then retconned the retcon with the old "they were too powerful so it was over quick." Rather unsatisfying end to an increasingly disappointing arc. So Vegeta can't ever catch a break, but for some reason, writers gotta give future Trunks another win?

Hm. Maybe a mb issue. Seems otherwise functional enough. Most of the google results made it sound like it was probably some background program scanning through drives periodically or something. But I should probably try with the other drive I have just to see. Kinda just keep cannibalizing these from old laptops when they give up the ghost.

Yeah. I'm discovering this as I continue to use things since the update. Unrelated issue I may as well bring up. This laptop came with an SSD, with an extra slot for an HDD. Thought to myself, cool, can have my extra storage on demand, instead of using old drives as external storage. Problem, when the drive is plugged in, it randomly spins up for apparently no reason. Even after formatting the drive, with nothing stored on it, just spins itself up without rhyme or reason. I can change my settings to turn off the hard disk after 1 minute of inactivity, but can't seem to figure out how to just keep it off until manually accessed. Running task manager and watching to see any changes when it spins, I couldn't really identify anything specific. Googling around, found plenty of instances of similar problems, but couldn't seem to find a definitive solution with my limited knowledge. This was all well before this update, and I long since just removed the HDD again to keep it from needless wear and the annoying whir. But I'd still love to figure out how to get it to play nice.

Wasn't this a thing like, waaaaayyyy back when you could log into [as] for the games? I seem to remember some folks had accounts for that and never even touched the boards. I think that was also when there were some complaining about their registration date being wrong, because they made an account but never actually hit the boards for it to connect and set up the board account.

Windows 10 just did an update on my computer a few days ago. Previously, with my screen saver set to Blank, the screen would go dark, about the color of the top bar when you quote someone here. After the Windows update, without changing any settings, the Blank screen saver is now a very bright grey. If I open up my background settings, and search for Screen Saver to change the screen saver, the selected option only opens up the folder for the C: drive. Can only access screen saver settings through the link in the Lock Screen tab. Once I finally get there, I can confirm my screen saver settings are all the same. Previewing the Blank screen saver sets the screen to the original dark. But if the computer is left idle until the Blank screen saver should kick in, it remains the brighter color. Any idea what Windows broke? And possibly what I might have to break to fix it? Googling was kinda awkward, finding too many results of the "blank screen" variety and not so much anything about screen savers. About all I found was this, and the stupid fuck didn't even follow directions to confirm if it worked. If that's my solution, is "Uninstall Device" in the Drivers tab what I'm looking for? I updated the drivers on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, Intel HD Graphics 630 says it's up to date, so may need a re-install?

I suspect different town. Different town, different MM plant.

My bad. I did a dumb and forgot I don't actually watch [as] much anymore to notice these things. Remembered all the ads leading up to it, but hadn't yet seen or realized they are in fact doing a "next time" ad as well.

Kinda confused how they can get something this big and not continue to advertise for it. I guess Super takes up all their weekly allotted ad time.

Which, in its own way, is a point in itself. Ignorance is bliss. As long as you never know about the shady shit, it can't affect your perception of what it may have influenced. Re: previous discussion of separating art from artist and enjoying the work despite more intimate knowledge of the creator. As long as fans or anyone potentially interested don't go digging that far, it won't have quite so huge an impact as the pessimists would suggest.

Of all the examples brought up for comparison, kinda surprised Ren & Stimpy creator wasn't one of them.

My impression is this arc exists solely to show off a super mega special awesome flashy amazing badass fight, by giving the strongest characters an opponent that can take everything they've got and keep going. A fight that doesn't end when they "give it everything they've got." But it gets really boring when you keep in the back of your head, "Ok, but, he's immortal/indestructible." But it's Dragon Ball. Fighting is never not the answer. Next episode promos kinda spoiled the rest, it seems like. "He fused, so he's only half indestructible now. But since we're showing off the biggest most explosive fight ever, we may as well have you two fuse as well. And keep hitting him. I'm sure it'll work eventually."

"The universe has a buttload of centers."

Nobody in anime discussion cares about your trolling, zeni.

Nah. Just about everything with Jinyu seemed like it was trying to copy Haruko's actions. In fact, the scene with Haruko and Atomsk makes me wonder if Jinyu is some sort of split-off counterpart to Haruko. Kinda looked like Haruko finally caught him, and couldn't handle the power.

Man, this episode was so much more bearable than usual. Gee, I wonder why.

Reading through comments, it almost sounds like you missed the kid talking about sex with teacher. Combined with the bandage and the vespa foreshadowing... Even though some of you did guess at Haruko. Idk. This episode felt like it was trying too hard to be FLCL. And, I'm guessing since we've already established some stuff from the original, this just felt like it was all too logical. Still interested in how the story progresses, and what themes it'll play with. And more importantly, if any of the stuff in the ending will be relevant.

If you're going to teabag someone, you don't want to do it with a sack of marbles.

Maybe 500 posts is meant to make the boards look more active than they really are. Cuz that's an investment when there's nobody and nothing worth sticking around for.

By avoiding any videos or promos of this, I might just be able to stomach giving the show a chance. I sorta vaguely tried to watch OK Go. Too generic-kids-show for me, but at least it didn't seem inherently awful. Craig reminds me too much of Clarence artistically to give it any attention. So, while the art here looks somewhere on the spectrum between Steven Universe and OK Go, I'll hold onto the belief that it might not be totally atrocious. But it's certainly nothing close to what Thundercats fans would want out of a reboot. Creators getting defensive about it certainly doesn't help, either. But by the end of this, somebody's going to be eating their words.

I disagree. I think this episode is probably my most favorite, for the sheer absurdity.

Random question, what was that bug on the coin supposed to be? 12 legs and 3 body segments kinda rules out a lot of things.

Don't get me wrong, I get the coolness factor. But I also struggle getting over the practicality of it. But also it felt a bit silly in a fight such as this. Bringing a knife to a gun fight, so to speak.

I kinda felt like there were a few chunks of this arc that still could've been trimmed down more for Kai. Lot of needless feet dragging here.

FFS, this fuckin episode. "I made a scythe! But then I realized fighting with a scythe is actually kinda really stupid so here's some shadow clones for you to punch, because I've been on a bit of a Naruto kick lately." "My power is beyond even my own comprehension." "Here, Trunks, I just happen to conveniently have this video of the Containment Wave plan we came up with, and since nobody else is going to use it... Oh, wait, nvm, actually that was all doomed from the start." "I mean, you had to expect we'd fuse eventually, right? Chekhov's Gun, yo."
