Example; the Legend of Zelda: BotW and TotK weapon degradation system. At first I was annoyed at it, but once I stopped caring about my “favorite weapon” I really started to enjoy the system. I think it lends really well to the sandbox nature of the game and it itches that resourcefulness nature inside me.

People have a boner for Simpsons seasons 3-8, the Conan years.

The Simpsons were excellent pretty much through season 12, much of seasons 13 and 14 are still legit.

I don't disagree that most of the best episodes are in that era... But Trilogy Of Errors is forever my favorite Simpsons episode, and that's S12E18. (Linguo... Dead??? "linguo IS dead.")

I woukd go as far as to say that seasons 9 - 13 all contain at least one 'top 30 of all time' episode.

The fall off was not swift with Conan's departure.

The truth is there are SO MANY great episodes of The Simpsons. Even the current seasons have a lot to offer.

I also think that the earlier seasons get an advantage because they're the episodes we've all seen dozens of times.

Obviously I won't deny that the earlier seasons have 10/10 episodes. Maybe there are fewer 10/10 as you go along, but even a "bad" episode will have some great jokes in it.

In fact the "I'm a sign, not a cop" meme/macro, that's a season 20 episode.

Omg I love that episode too. I quote that grammar robot so the time "shuddapa yer face" "shut up your face"

I also am a software developer and use 123 fake street for testing forms all the time.

I'm surprised at how late it was, would have assumed it was pre double digits

The newest season has a nicer animation style I've noticed. It feels almost season 8ish, and has none of that digital gloss that pervaded in the last ten seasons. I'm genuinely interested to see if they stick with the classic almost hand-drawn style.

Yeah I think seasons 4-12 are the kind of 'safe' era, but you can go a few seasons either way and still get some bangers, it's just a little more patchy.

Rewatched the Golden Years of the Simpsons recently and I think it's crazy that season 2 isn't included in that era. Season 2 Simpsons is fantastic.
