Comics and Other Media / Re: Tubi Dooby Doo!
Last post by Xev - February 05, 2025, 05:16:04 PMSo, after giving it some time and being stuck indoors due to weather...
Tubi is my current favorite place to watch stuff. So much stuff to watch that I haven't seen in forever. There's newer stuff, too, like the 2 Shazams, but mostly it's the old stuff that makes Tubi good for me.
The one flaw with Tubi would probably be picture quality. Sometimes they cheap out and show stuff lower res than the other guys. Some things are lower res because, I think, there's just no better copy to stream - yet. Like Black Brigade with Richard Pryor and Greatest American Hero, for example. Others, I know there is a better copy out there. Usually it's stuff that's old and probably no one watches - but there again, they have plenty of old and super old stuff that looks better than it did when it was new.
Their recommendations, whether by pure luck or not, have been the best I've had so far. I've yet to go to Tubi and scroll through Recommendations without finding something I actually want to watch right now, and, at least 1 thing to put away into saved stuff for later.
When the thing I'm watching is over they also tend to rollover into something I don't mind watching/playing for background noise.
Again, the main thing for Tubi seems to be old fantasy stuff. Fantasy, being - sci-fi, comic book stuff, cartoons, tales from the beyond, sword and sorcery, and in general - stuff that kids watch(ed).

Last post by WanderingAries - February 04, 2025, 02:07:34 AMYour best bet would be to use the Way Back Machine and / or the related efforts. At least a couple mentioned / attempted on HC servers to make that version searchable.

ParagonWiki / Re: Favicon Missing?
Last post by Blondeshell - February 03, 2025, 03:04:54 PMI am also now not seeing the favicon on Paragonwiki, using Windows 10 and Edge/Chrome. Titan's favicon (the green atom) shows fine.

Last post by Blondeshell - February 03, 2025, 03:00:18 PMI don't think there's a definitive technical way to tell what's originally from sunset except to have that version running on its own server. I'd thought about this, too, when considering going back and finishing the projects I'd been working on here. I think it'll just require a combination of memory and checking Homecoming patch notes.

ParagonWiki / 2025: I'm going to get back in...
Last post by Felderburg - January 30, 2025, 11:33:34 PMHi all, a friend of mine has started playing CoH, so after 5 years of not playing, I've been roped back in (it did not take much convincing). I will also be returning to edit the wiki. It looks like the Homecoming Wiki also incorporates changes from Paragon Wiki, but it also has Homecoming server stuff.
One thing that I was concerned about before real life had me stepping away from MMOs generally was making sure that Paragon Wiki remains as it says, an archive of the game at sunset. I know that there should be a way to get a sunset-version of the game, through Project Ouroboros? But is there a more definite way to ensure items added from a current private server are actually from sunset vs. added by their devs?

Comics and Other Media / Tubi Dooby Doo!
Last post by Xev - January 21, 2025, 09:51:54 PMHoly gee willikers how good is Tubi for stuff you've not seen in forever or wish you'd seen for forever!
Let me just give you an idea (hopefully this won't expire..)
https://tubitv.com/series/300009273/batman-and-robin
I've managed to go my entire life without ever seeing this! Until now.
Man, they have original Scooby Doo.. G.I. Joe.. America's Greatest Hero.. Gilligan's Island.. Land of the Lost.. Stuff I've not seen in forever.
I'm still finding stuff and am new to Tubi (which is not new) so it feels like I could make a lot better post about them if I used the site for awhile longer but I couldn't wait. I had to gush! Just go see for yourself, do a search or two, and see if you don't see something you've not seen in forever or want to see from forever ago. There's no signup/e-mail required. If the Batman and Robin link didn't take you there, this will: https://tubitv.com/
Tubi KIDS, which you can lock a kid into.., is restricted to all kids stuff and you know what, it's pretty darn good. I never thought that about a Kids section before so it seemed worth mentioning. I could and probably will spend weeks or more in Tubi "Kids" content.
Anyway, if even 1 person gets the warm fuzzies I've been getting the past couple of days, then this post was worthwhile! Based on the extremely low volume of ads on a lot of the stuff I've watched I'm guessing the majority of people are much less impressed with my choices. Another win for me! Good luck to you.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, to those that this is not old news, they seem to have a decent selection of newer stuff, too. At least as good as Pluto maybe? I mean, it's likely the selection will start to look old, soon, but for now it doesn't look so bad. I got to see Despicable Me 3 after Netflix only having 1 and 2 for forever *shrug* hehe. That Old Timey cartoon/comic book/sci-fi selection they have will always be good. They have some gems in there that I never see.
