Right there with you, after what they did with the season that doesn't exist (season 9, I refuse to acknowledge it) I don't trust them with this property. The whole appeal of the show was JD and Turk's growth, and of course the Cox rants. Also what's the point without Ted.

S9 was fine, it was just a different show

Wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Eliza Coupe is great; I don't see the problem

A show can have a fine cast and still not be good. I just personally didn't like that season, it's fine if others did, I just wanted to break out some Dr. Cox.

Thanks for reminding me about Sam Lloyd :/

Scrapping Ted would be the best decision they could make

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 4 points 16 hours ago

Hard disagree, but it's a moot point now, the actor died a few years ago.

I thought they were calling us late-model Gen Xers now. Or Oregon trail Generation.

(only barely tangential to your point but) I mean, I also played the Oregon Trail and I'm definitely a younger millennial.

I’m not gonna gatekeep, but was it on a floppy drive? We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.

I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.

We didn’t even get into the 14.4 modem sounds it took to see a webpage.

Edit: Oops I meant 5.25”, but TIL apparently actually 5.1”. Fun fact I learned back in college, is that CDRs fit into 5.25” floppies if you cut a slit and remove the disc.

Ah; you have a fair point, there. I've never used a 5.24". I actually didn't know it was released on those.

I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.

Haha; I know I'm biased since, as a developer and someone interested in computers, I'm also more aware (even if I've never used) of older tech. but it is incredible just how much things have changed.

We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.

Tech around that time depended a lot on what was affordable. Like I had 5¼ floppies at home but school had Apple IIGS with 3.5" drives that we used for Oregon Trail.

Also wikipedia is telling me that 5.25 floppies were actually 130 mm, which would be 5.1". I guess "five and a quarter" rolls of the tongue better so they rounded up.
