it can be books,video games,Movies,TV Shows, etc(though i will be focusing mainly on Video Games)
i wanted to ask long running/active since it would be more interesting.
i would love to hear your answers!
my attempt at the rules defining Active and Long Running
am also not sure the definition of long running/active.
maybe the last game(dlcs,updates and unreleased games dont count) should be from 1-3 years ago(or makes video games atleast every 1-3 years as of 2026), and the franchise should have first existed from atleast 2004-2006 or older i think.
it can also be that it says online that its still present
My list
so let me start:
franchise dates as of March 10,2026(if i dont say present it does not mean the franchise is dead)
Video games:
- Touhou Project(1997-2025): I love Touhou 18,good fanbase/fan content(for the most part atleast),good OST.
the bad thing tbh it used GenAI (its not as bad as it sounds though)
its franchise/video games are pretty Niche but good.
currently taking a hiatus (under the end of march/early April) but i will be back so am still including it here. - DOOM(1993-2025): well you guys know this ,DOOM 1 from 1993 and DOOM II are pretty good. but i prefer this open source version called FreeDOOM.(and put some TC mods on top of FreeDOOM)
the bad thing is the company behind it(Bethesda then Microsoft) - Asphalt(2004-2023): has been a while since i played any of its games,unsure .
like DOOM bad company good game
and thats what i remember
(i apologize if i posted this 3 times,my client glitched out )
My understanding is that Haki system hadn’t been developed yet when Shanks did that thing. But that’s what I meant with Oda being good at modular story telling. He consistently gave himself places to expand upon without having to do blatant retconning.
And yes. The pro-social aspects, the inclusivity, resistance to tyranny etc. but I also just adore Luffy as almost like a spiritual guide. He’s totally surrendered to pursuing his goal and is almost always in full acceptance of whatever that may lead to. And he does so with a joyful heart. And he is forgiving. There’s some Buddhist undertones there that I appreciate. I’m also just glad to see a popular show in this point in time that has a lead character like that and handles it well.
