I caught a whiff of Bowie in the tone but the comorbidity of Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli did sail past my head.

In general the vibe will always be whichever media brought the franchise its mainstream popularity, though.

Personal/regional experience makes a difference too. While the virtual pets came first in all regions to my knowledge, Digimon didn't really get POPULAR in America until Digimon Adventure, which leads to the feeling it's "an anime".

Billy and Stu couldn't do anything creative after each blowing their one murder load a piece and all the copycat Ghostfaces thought the pathetic post-nut stabbing was part of the point somehow.

Now, because they didn't understand Game Design in the 90s, they made a lot of Video Games. This is widely seen as a mistake.

Everyone knows you make money by making NONE Video Games.

I'm beating the drum yet again, unfortunately. Electric is asking for us to pay off $250 more by the 15th, we're behind $400 on the rent, and if the government shutdown keeps up, we'll be even further behind since we can't rely on SNAP and SSI to help us keep afloat.

Please help.

I don't like having to rely on Yet Another Payment Processor at this point in time when payment processors want to tell people how they can and can't live, but unfortunately we live in a society and it hates my family.

I just looked up where Minkus actually went and, "oh no Urkel is hot, we can't have WHITE URKEL" sure is an executive decision, huh.

90s Job Training Video Muzak.

Also Scholastic Book Fair.

It's very much a genre without a name but a very definite shaped-like-itself form.

Also I figure people answered with wrong seasons because the show didn't really take off until Boy Meets Puberty, and that was way past S1.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Digimon: The Movie and y'all, when they talk about films that "couldn't be made today," THIS is it. A weird, funny and fascinating time capsule.

Same way anyone else does: nepotism and money.

You can "pass" a lot of certifications using those as backdoors.

GOD, PLEASE. I've seen it enforced on exactly one (1) server that you just Do Not Post X Links. No fixup, no twitter, nothing.

And you could do it with bluesky, too, if you wanted to, especially with how the staff here is chasing that idiot clout!

I'm glad folks were down to abandon RetroAchievements for enabling fascists, but I hope that folks forwarding around twitter links are functionally doing the same in platforming a hateful platforms.

Think before you post!
