There was this website I used to frequent, and it had a thread like this in the forums.

Basically write stuff like: "Dealing with the Twitter-TV Tropes merge rn" or "Google? They haven't used that name since Microsoft bought them out."

Reminder: Nothing in bad taste, please.

Meanwhile, Game Freak is actually making de-makes of all their Gen 5 and beyond Pokemon video games for the Game Boy Color. How is all of that 3D data gonna fit in a small cartridge? Also, don't they have better things to do than that?

The 1st anniversary debacle in 2021 killed Genshin Impact. The backlash and review bombing got so out of hand, the player count rapidly dwindled until HoYoverse was forced to pull the plug on all servers due to low revenue. All my spent primos on my lovely Ayaka, down the drain in an instant. Oh what a dark time it is to live without Genshin to fill the void in my heart. I heard some fans took it upon themselves to try and revive the game on private connections but, surely those rumors were only born from extreme withdrawal affecting their sanity, right? Right?!

Congress passed a law which bans all record stores! Dammit! I like having my CDs and vinyls...

Welp, gonna have to go to YouTube music, since Google bought Spotify, Tidal and the like to dismantle them all, and used the monopoly status to throttle absolutely everything.

[up][up]Honestly Spotify had been on the decline for awhile now. They still never released hi-fi audio, and what's worse, not even premium subscribers could free play anymore. And even when you listened to playlists, they'd insert a Top 40 hit every few songs to promote it.

I can't believe that TBS made the bold decision to air The Big Bang Theory reruns nonstop. I genuinely thought they were joking at first but, nope, it's real.

It's still better than what's going on with ABC. I mean, which executive thought it was a good idea to turn the network into a 24/7 soap opera channel? Come the fuck on!

[up] They got off light! Have you seen Cartoon Network lately? It's been a 24-7 marathon of Velma. It's gotten to the point I'd long to see the sweet embrace of Teen Titans Go again. God, why did it make me long for that point previously seen as low?

String instruments have been banned worldwide due to a chemical found in the strings that causes instant death after prolonged exposure, for some reason. Now movie soundtracks sound less full, like there's something missing in them.

Think that's bad? Warner Bros. has jumped on the "Live Action Remake" bandwagon with their remake of "What's Opera Doc?".

Now they're doing a live-action spinoff of Family Guy. I'm sure this will go well with fans.

Battle for Dream Island hasn't been the same since 4kids got the rights to it. They redubbed it and everything even though it's already in English. They even changed Death PACT's team name to Faint PACT. Can't have shit in Goiky.

When Cartoon Network bought the rights to Tropers: The Series, I thought we were going to get something amazing. But then they realized that making a new show would mean they weren't playing Teen Titans Go 24/7, so instead they turned TTS into a crossover episode with TTG, and it's all about the Titans mocking the tropers and saying how weird it is that the tropers live in an apartment and go on weird adventures, even though that's basically what the Titans do too.

Apparently that Star Wars trilogy by D and D of later Game of Thrones seasons has been greenlit after all.

They're making a Spinoff Babies version of Terminator, and when I complained, someone called me ageist. And don't even get me started on the wave of bigotry that's been happening against people with seasonal allergies.

For every low there is a high.
