    Factually incorrect. 26 episodes of 40 minutes each gives a total runtime of 17 hours and 20 minutes. Perfectly doable, you even have time for a quick nap and then hammer out some beers with the homies.

      Depends on the series. Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds only have like 10 each. Lower Decks is only 26 minute episodes too.

      i was going to say something to this effect.

      nowadays, i just put it on as background noise when is start working and lip sync to the dialogue and imagine the scenes in my head when i’m not directly looking at the screen.

      We just gonna forget about TAS? Season 1 is 16 episodes at 384 minutes. Season 2 is even less with 6 episodes at 144 minutes. That’s just 8 hours, 48 minutes.

    I feel like a terminally online goon for it, but I generally watch shows on 1.5~2x speed. Random youtube crap is even worse at 2.5 or 3x. If I really, really like a show I’ll watch at 1.2 or 1.3x.

    There’s just so much content out there and I want to see so much stuff

        same. And it helps with listening to music on youtube… haha! Once I had friends coming over home and forgot to switch speed back to 1x, we had it like for an hour in 1.15 (yeah, wasn’t that bad really… that was part of the problem :P)

          i feel like it’s perfectly intelligible if it’s below 1.5x speed and i stopped noticing it too. lol
