Oof. Good thing I stopped caring about streaks.

It’s definitely continuous in tone with the last seasons of AT, which is why I think it’s an Adam Muto thing. But it feels like it’s turned into Doctor Who. (Or what I imagine Doctor Who to be now; I haven’t actually watched in a while.) Like, it’s fine when you have a world with no rules as to what’s possible (because of magic and/or advanced science) if that world is silly, but it makes it hard to generate dramatic stakes if every obstacle is magic bullshit and every solution is also magic bullshit.

FC isn’t trying to be AT though. That’s why it works.

I agree, I guess I’m just lamenting that it doesn’t work as well for me.

Was unsure about “mother”, but it worked out.

Man, I was a few episodes into Season 2 of F&C and I made the mistake of watching a season 2 episode of the original series. It was a breath of fresh air. It was the sillyness that got me into AT, and it’s hit me how much that’s missing in the newer stuff.
I don’t know much about how production worked, but I suspect it’s a Pendleton Ward vs. Adam Muto thing.

I’m not sure how it does it, but my Synology NAS can act as a Time Machine server and my laptop backs up to it, no cloud involved. So I know it’s possible, but I don’t know what kind of open source solutions are available.

I thought green was the herring.

I also have way more beans than anyone needs in their house.

My mother does this and as soon as there’s an apocalypse she’ll be vindicated.

194 boxes of penne, because you can’t remember if there’s any left and you might as well pick some up while you’re here.

Oh, so I’m the only one who went for the red herring? Should have known it was too niche.

I knew it was the herring as I was putting it in, but I still hit submit.
