Honestly, the sd card is arguably more important. I mean, headphones, there are workarounds like adaptors or wireless. But being able to stick a 1tb sd card in is just sooo good, basically a portable PC. There is no workarounds for sd card slot.
Moto 5g stylus has both. I just bought my daughter one for Christmas. The downside is using a moto phone which have gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6. But my daughter is 10 and just wants a phone with a stylus for drawing stuff and it was only $99 with my fi plan so why not?
Mandatory Firefly comment
Also Pushing Daisies, Better Off Ted, Jericho, My So Called Life, Dead Like Me, Freaks and Geeks...
I'm here for Pushing Daisies.
Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?
That show ended way too soon.
Dark Matter (the SyFy show), it was just getting good!
I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the original series from me.
Travelers TV Show. Doesn't even need the original actors, its perfect scenario for a reboot with different characters.
The Expanse. I mean come on, there still so much book material left... 🙄
And SD Card slots, god damnit. I don't wanna spend +$500 more just for 1tb storage, a 1tb sd card is like $100. Fuck these greedy corporations.
I get so petty about this that I got an A series samsung phone instead of the S series, just for the sd card slot.
The show runners for The Expanse claimed that they ended the show where they did because the show had reached a natural conclusion, the books took a giant time leap, and they felt the rest of the story would be better developed into a sequel series at a later time.
So what they actually did was basically flawless from start to finish.
But give me 100 more episodes of the Good Place anyways.
I agree but at the same time I'm happy it got an actual ending instead of being drug out because of its popularity.
What they did was perfect, and there's no way they could have just added stuff and had it be the show it was. They stuck to the vision and nailed the fuck out of it.
But I could also sit and watch a lot of episodes of reboots 2-5000 or whatever. The chemistry of that cast playing those characters with that writing was all magic.
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.
Edit: don't even get me started on the Tacoma bloat, the "only mid-size truck on that market" which is the same size as a Humvee.
How about things that never were but have always existed? Been waiting my entire adult life (I’m 42) for GRRM to finish Game of Thrones. My kid was 2 when the last book came out and now he’s driving lol
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.
Firefly! We need more seasons of that amazing show!
I used to think like you, then I saw some sit down with joss whedon and the rest of the cast where he talked about where the series would have gone if it hadn't been axed by Fox after the first season, and man it was a WEIRD talk. Joss started going on about the eventually fate of Inara and not only was it super harsh, but Joss kept giving Inara's actor the creepiest looks and I sware on me mum the whole table got skeeved out.
Honestly made me appreciate Serenity that much more as the cap to the series
Not "technically" discontinued, but almost
Buying products and owning them.
Buying products and getting full repair manuals and electrical schematics
Cathode ray tubes
Overbuilt refrigerators and washing machines
Clothes that last and are repairable
Houses built with full bricks and iron with actual straight walls and unbroken woodwork
My name is Earl.
Loved this series so much. After finding out how they were going to end it, I would have loved to have watched it play out.
A super niche one: the 2000s show "John Doe"
A guy wakes up with amnesia and doesn't know who he is
But he basically knows everything else.
Weird mystery that ended on a cliffhanger and basically no questions answered (although the show creator later revealed the later plans and plot)
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.
S tier TV Shows cancelled by streaming studio fucks:
Raised by Wolves (Max), Little Demon (Hulu), Archive81 (Netflix), Scavenger's Reign (Originally Max, then cancelled, bought by Netflix, then fucking cancelled again. Clowns)
Archive 81 was great. I’m surprised it wasn’t picked up by another channel.
Santa Clarita Diet.
Just needed one more season to wrap things up. Damn you Netflix
GLOW! A travesty it never got a fourth season.
Surge soda. They bring it back every once in a while but the demand isn't there.
Command & Conquer series as a whole, no releases in 4 years, the last new release was a mobile game in 2018, and the last proper new entry was 2012.
The fan community has (at least) two really high quality mods still undergoing active development, with an actual release in the last two years. Giving this series the Sonic Mania treatment would be incredible, and probably make EA a lot of money, but also is very unlike their usual business practices.
I have a few:
Choco Tacos: some places have been rumored to have brought this back
Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Reintroduced and limited.
Heroes franchise/series. Creator is rumored to be bringing it back.
'I am not okay with this' Netflix series based on a grophic novel.
Wish I had tried Pepsi Blue. Grew up in the 90's but never tried it.
Edit to add: The OG version of GTA San Andreas uncensored. My buddy had a copy we would play but I never got my hands on a copy of my own. If owned this would be a collector'd item.
F-ZERO. Most innovative racing series of all time. F-ZERO 99 is cute and all, but high-speed was never the same after 2003. Aero GPX proves the most promising project since, and it is good.
Mind Hunter on Netflix.
Also JC Chasez’s second solo album that got shelved. I’ve been on an *NSYNC kick lately and would have loved more music from him.
1899 on Netflix - Season 1 was great and ended on a really intriguing moment. And then they cancelled it. Sigh.
Megaman Legends 3
Our boy is still stranded on the moon!
Worst thing is that they had a nearly complete demo of it for the 3DS, and released some video of the demo and testing stuff in-engine during development, then like a day before it was supposed to drop they cancelled the whole damn thing because supposedly not enough fans participated in their fan forums/events.
They could have at least released the damn demo! It was already finished! Would have cost them fucking NOTHING.
And then the series creator Inafune fumbled making a spiritual sequel to Megaman when he Kickstarted Mighty No.9, so when he tried to Kickstart Red Ash as one for Legends it failed to meet the goal.
Still frustrates me.
Altered Carbon.
I know: the book series is very hit-and-miss, and they chose the hits.
I know: they changed the actor; but Joel Kinneman needs more time with Mireilla Enos, so you're gonna have to bring him back.
I'd like it if Joss Whedon could finish a series. Firefly? The Nevers? So much potential to just get thrown away after one season.
