In the pirate world, there’s two type of shows, “episodic” which is what you’d expect and “daily” which is more for regular/frequent/newsworthy programs. One Piece is episodic and sports are “daily”

My weird coworker did this with wrestling.

Started watching wrestling from the 80s to understand "the story". And I mean there are classic moments like Hulk Vs The Giant, but weird...

There is a lot of background to understand in professional wrestling though. This YouTube video is only one story arc of one wrestler.

Did he understand the history?

I’ve been doing this with world history. Just got to the fall of 1908. Feeling really bad for this young guy Adolf, rejected from art school.

Maybe he'll write about his struggles for others to understand.

Yeah...with a title that reminds you for some strange reason to a block based videogame.

damn son what year did you start at?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

But at least the Cubs won the World Series. As a fan, I think they'll continue to win the World Series several times over the next few years.

Makes me wonder how many watchable hours of NBA games there are.

Doctor Who feels like this.

Gotta get into the slow, more scientific feel to appreciate the pre 70s stuff. Still 100% recommend. Feels like science class mixed with a wonderful 50s movie.

They have to get through Michael Jordan seasons first.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

That season where he played with Bugs Bunny was weird. So many players lost their talent all of a sudden.

Not quite the same but very much the same feel...

I started doing this with the X-men comics. The first 60 or so issues are very rough and I haven't gotten through them yet. Apparently they did a 1-off around issue 63 where they reboot the series with a lot of the characters you'd expect and that's where it starts being good but damn I don't want to skip Jean Grey fainting while wondering if Scott is attracted to her and then getting captured one more time!
