Metacommentary alone has never impressed me, and even the best examples of it still manage to emotionally involve the viewer, be it toward personal reflection or political action. The quickest way to discover how relatively easy it is to provide "trolling" commentary, and how incredibly difficult by comparison to provoke a genuine emotional response in another human being, is to try creating your own art.
If it were so easy to provide metacommentary/"trolling" commentary through art though I feel we would see waaaaaayyyy more of it out there than we do, and way more of it done well at that.

Also I don't think its THAT hard to get people emotionally invested in something, relatively speaking anyways. Like when I look at all the popular movies/TV shows/video games/even books out there (Seriously, there's a lot) that people are into the stories/characters/worlds of (Even when I don't even think they're good myself, like the Marvel movies or whatever), I don't think much of the investment in them is particularly ironic or detached and not genuine. I don't think this is a bad thing either just to be clear, but it is what it is.

Honestly The Simpsons has more to do with Nintendo than Persona 5 (and the teaser for P5R has a PlayStation logo at the beginning so it's probably staying there)

RANDOM CHAT THREAD HOLIDAY CONTEST!!!!!

Hey chat thread, because I got some extra stuff lying around and I want to thank you for letting me greedily be the OP of this thread every month for over a year, I'm gonna have a little contest. All I really want is for you to do some fan art of your favorite game you played this year. It can be any medium you want, any style and any game as long as you played it and loved it this year. The prizes I have are:

-A huge Overwatch art book (I got this from Secret Santa last year and one of my friends didn't know I had it and got it for me this year)
-A very slightly broken Gregg from Night in the Woods figure (it just snapped clean of the base. You should be able to make it good as new with a little glue or you can keep him off the base)
-Two download codes for the Switch version of Hollow Knight (I have nothing to put in the brackets here but I'm purring this here so they all have one)

You have until New Years and I'll put the winners in the OP of next month's thread. The four winners will be able to pick which prize they want and if they don't want any remaining prizes, I'll declare a 5th and 6th place until someone wants what I have left.

I can't draw but I wanted to participate. I've captured his likeness in the areas that matter most to me.

Byzantine is already a gross anachronism, they were Greek-speaking Romans who never called themselves anything but Romans!

Byzantium is a cool word, I'll give them that. It's just crazy though how basically every historical textbook is so completely wrong when they say the Roman Empire fell in 461 AD or w/e. It lasted over one freaking thousand years after that!

They were greek-speaking people whose ancestors had been greek-speakers in the same regions for at least 500 years before the Romans conquered them. They were greeks and also they were Romans, because by the time of the iconoclasm crisis they had been part of the Roman empire for a thousand years, and the heartland of said empire for 500

I believe that you will find the Romans continue to this day in the Sixth Rome (St. Petersburg) and Seventh Rome (Belgrade)

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I liked Iconoclasts up until the moment before the end game where you can go back through all the areas with all your powers. I like it a lot and am interested enough in finding the hidden poo poo but it also kept me from just finishing the game before something else came out. I should load it back up and just march to the end, then look at the hidden stuff on a wiki or a YouTube video.

It has some really cool scenes I was not expecting, and the story is pretty daring for what looks like a cute action-adventure game. On the other hand it deepened my dislike of silent protagonists.
