All entirely true statements

He had AI Tupac tell people that liking young girls is a gift.

Edit: that isn’t a joke

Meat-tea

I know someone who plays the Ace Attorney games and long text based RPG games actively and this is a very targeted post.

Mostly just results quality and starting to push more ads instead of real results. I can’t provide any real stats but I have been very frustrated with it and had to switch out and I know a few others who had.

Like the other guy said. Results quality and pushing more ads instead of results.

DDG has fallen off HARD recently. They definitely aren’t what they used to be.

Oooh. I appreciate that. It’s been a long time since I’ve watched that series. I mostly stick to Ross’s game dungeon now.

They literally already are. The Crew is a Singleplayer racing game that sold 12 million copies, many of them physical, and none of those copies are functional anymore.

Bastion was definitely indie when it was made so it counts

It looks like that’s intentional. It’s trying to capture the vibe of games from the original Half Life era and seems to be doing a fine job from what I can see.

For peak realism

I have no idea how you would be this confused here.

You just named 2 of my favorite episodes. Clearly they just weren’t for you? The fantasy one did a fantastic job showcasing a father’s love for his daughter and the musical episode was both funny and moved the characters forward a lot… I don’t see how either of these could possibly be bad things but ig to each his own.

BUT THE PROPHECY DOESN’T EVEN COME TRUE!

That movie wasn’t like those ancient Greek stories because in quite a few ways but most notably the prophecy is just some guy believing that 3 teens are going to kill him. In the end… Madame Web kills him with a Pepsi sign! (Buy Pepsi! Drink Pepsi! PRAISE PEPSI!)

The movie does actively try to be like those ancient stories but it falls flat with even a slight amount of thinking about it because the villain’s motivations make no sense… Let’s break it down!

For the last 20ish years he’s had the same recurring nightmare about 3 teens showing up into his New York apartment, smashing some of his stuff, stealing from him and then throwing him out a window…

During that time every action he took seemed to recreate that dream? He moved to New York (he didn’t live there before), bought the apartment from his nightmare, bought all of the furniture from the nightmare, decorated it exactly the same, and then spent the rest of his time making sure that the 3 teenage girls he is afraid of have a reason to dislike him. This whole movie could’ve been prevented by… Moving to a different place… At any point in the last 20 years…

Unrelated to the story but also every single line from the villain is dubbed for some reason??? Every other character clearly sounds like they did the voice during the scene and then he sounds like he’s in a recording booth and they just slapped it on… ???

This turned into more of an essay/rant than I planned but holy fuck that movie was so bad. Funniest shit I’ve seen in so long and will watch it again. I’d never seen a superhero movie before where the main character’s super power includes hitting people with her car.

The entire motivation of the bad guy in Madame Web is that he saw the heroes killing him in a dream so he wants to kill them first…

The only reason they want to kill him is because he keeps fucking attacking them…

That movie is so fucking stupid

That last bit is really the issue that led to the shut down. They stopped staying independent and were bought by a big company years and years ago. That company was then bought by someone else who then sold it and it was bought and sold and bought and sold until we got to Warner Bros which likes to kill things just for funsies.

I really hope that the talented creators they had can find a way to branch out independently like Dropout managed to when College Humor was getting shut down.

GOG is also a filter too. Everything in the whole store you know is DRM free when with other stores you have to check each game individually.

Steam is also a form of DRM in most cases though either way.

Well they are most known for Red vs Blue but since then they branched out into a bunch of smaller brands. Fun Haus, Slow Mo Guys, Achievement Hunter etc etc. they were a full media company instead of just a machinma group.

I kinda went the other direction where I had to cut out all anime. Too many fascist undertones and sexualizing children for it to be comfortable to watch for me.

Obviously not all shows/movies from anime do those but it’s difficult to really know until you’ve already started watching and so it’s safer to just cut it out.
