Anything: Series, video game, book, food, old toy from childhood, service, etc. Also, any series which you wish did not end, etc.
Canadian here. Chocolate company Laura Secord made a chocolate bar called the Royale. Or Mint Royale? Something like that. Basically a “solid” mint milk chocolate bar that would just melt in your mouth. Those things were fantastic.
When I was 16 (now late 30s for reference) they sold off the chocolate bar to Nestlé Canada. Who immediately changed the recipe to use, I assume, cheaper chocolate. Maybe cheaper everything. It was never the same and after a year or two they just disappeared, never to be seen again.
My first experience with enshittification I guess.
Avatar The Last Airbender.
61 episodes was far too few. That show could have rivaled Simpsons if they let it.
They’re bringing it back! I think the original creators too!
I just hope it’s better than Korra. I personally didn’t like most of that avatar storyline. Ang is the best haha
I want another Splinter Cell game.
But seeing what Ubisoft has become…maybe it’s for the best we haven’t had a new one in 11 years.
Too bad they won’t let someone else make a new game.
Same for Deus Ex.
Better off ted. Fantastic show.
Ahh hells yeah
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.
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 =\
Then migrate to Linux and see if there are devs working on open source drivers
Monado is making impressive strides, but VR is a really tough nut to crack, given how ridiculously proprietary most units are. :(
The controllers especially seem to be giving them a lot of trouble.
I know M$ always extinguishes things it embraces, but they should really just release the WMR code if they’re done with ir. An open source WMR implementation would save SO MUCH headache of trying to engineer custom drivers and everything from scratch!
Microsoft will take a blowtorch to the project and products before making it open source so expect nothing there
You are not the first one suggesting that, I have been dual booting Linux for 10+ years and open-source support for WMR headset is very barebones.
Monado is the only project I’m aware of and it supports the headset only, not the controllers. Not a full solution for most people.
Don’t migrate off of Windows 10. Switch to the LTSC Enterprise edition, which will continue to get security updates.
You will have to manually install the WMR package on it, though.
Taco Bell’s Chili Cheese Burrito
Taco Bell’s Frito burrito was also good.
Taco Bell seems to make a great new thing, then they gradually put fewer and fewer ingredients to where it’s basically a tortilla and people stop ordering it. This is my thoughts on the Frito Burrito, black bean crunch wrap, chicken fajita burrito.
Mega Man Legends 3 - get Volnutt off the moon!
I can’t believe they released a playable alpha and then … cancelled it.
Google Reader
The Old Reader is pretty close.
Light pickup trucks.
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.
Yeah. I hate that shit. Those suck too.
Indeed. I have a (parked for the past year, need major suspension work but w/e) S10 which is honestly perfect for me. I know that even in the 90s it was seen as a “mini” truck, but it’s carried everything I’ve ever needed to haul
If the made them again I’d buy one for sure. I had one I high school but the transmission went out so I traded it in for a Civic (which I still have). I love the car but it’s annoying having to borrow my dad’s truck every couple weekends when I need to haul stuff and I hate driving it because it handles like a school bus and I’m too short to see over the front end.
Milk Duds that take effort to chew
Manual transmissions in the United States.
The joyful wonder and whimsey that lived in my soul and twinkle that shone through my eyes, or at least I think it was there. It’s now just a faint memory of a memory, something that I yearn for but unsure if I ever even tasted it.
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.
Anker Spirit X earphones.
Compact pickup trucks. I got one of the last S10s made and it’s older than the average Tiktokist.
