    A Dropout subscription is about the best per-dollar value I have ever spent. I’ve had one for about a year and a half and they just keep getting wildly better.

      I would literally cancel ANY other subscription I have before Dropout.

          @bear_necessities The Augbert episode was the best game of “Yes, and,” chicken I have ever seen and I was dying to talk about it with people.

              I really gotta know if I’m the only person in the world who thinks the new season of HotD is just not good. Legit questioning whether it’s AI-written or something.

                @Kestrel Unknown, I haven’t blitzed through S1 yet, let alone picked up 2, gimme a week.

                Edit: I forgot to come back after blitzing through and catching up. I don’t think that it’s BAD, but I think it suffers from poor source material (I haven’t read Fire and Blood, but reviews indicate it is booooring). Also theorizing that show writers are afraid of straying too far from source like GoT did leading to the massive nose dive, and over-correcting.

                  I binged the first two seasons of Yellowjackets in a single weekend and can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t believe I have to wait a whole week for season 3 now.

                  Anyway here’s a flawless ad for it I found in a YouTube comment section:

                      @Sillylily When I started working on my new game, it began as a Buffy game. My wife and I love Buffy/Angel and thought a Buffy game would be cool. We decided against it because it’d been so long since we’d had a series or something related to either show. So we pivoted to an original theme. LOL

                        @Sillylily Slayers, the Buffyverse audiobook by Amber Benson, was pretty effing entertaining, imo. It was kinda like listening to an olde-timey radio show, but make it Buffy. ~If anybody is looking for something in that realm.

                          I recently watched all four seasons of a series called Evil that was originally a Paramount+ show and can highly recommend it.

                          It revolves around a small team of people who investigate demonic or supernatural events for the catholic church. One of them is a atheist tech-guy, one is a psychologist, and one is an aspiring priest. They try to find the reasoned and logical explanations for events before the church gives the okay to come in slinging holy water around.

                          Also, if you are a fan of Star Trek there is a different Paramount+ show called Star Trek: Strange New Worlds that is honestly the best Star Trek show put out in a long, long, time but most people don’t even know it exists.

                          You get Paramount+ for free if you have a Walmart monthly subscription service for the free deliveries so I have been going through their catalog. They also have the Daily Show.

                            @RedRocket I love both Evil and Strange New Worlds. I’m a huge Trekkie and, for me, SNW the best Trek they’ve put out since TNG.

                              This is Lower Decks erasure but I’ll allow it on account of Lower Decks being cancelled after S5.

                              Edit: Also because Gorn Puppets.

                                There was an episode where the Lower Deck characters visited the SNW Enterprise via a time travel accident.

                                  @Jennkryst If it wasn’t for SNW, I’d say Lower Decks was the best Trek out there since TNG to be honest. It is weird because it’s a cartoon and I’m not sure on its continuity but it is really good. Not hating on Lower Decks at all.

                                    @Raistlin 100% agreed. Lower decks is kind of campy at times but it’s probably the most accurate depiction of how a crew functions in space.

                                    They go through all those years of academy training then are flung into wild, deadly, and chaotic situation after situation once they are in space that their training barely helps with.

                                    I think, on the majority of ships, it’s just a bunch of people trying not to fail so bad they blow up the ship.

                                      I will never stop ranting about only getting two seasons of Andor. If there is only one person ranting, that person is me. If there are no people ranting, it is because I am dead.

                                        eh. I’m saying this as someone who loved the first season more than a lot of TV I’ve seen in a long time, but the cognitive dissonance of watching such a politically charged show produced by a company that has been making some very uncomfortable choices has soured the whole thing for me a bit.

                                          The new season of Game Changer just recently released and I haven’t laughed this hard in ages.

                                          If you don’t have a DropoutTV subscription what are you even doing with your lives?! It’s the only streaming service who’s content is getting better and better and better as it goes along.
