I hate that I know what game that's advertising and I hate even more that I know why they're running ads like that even though they're peddling an idle auto-battler. God, I wish Google would crack down on all of the weird sex poo poo in game ads.

do tell

i see ad's for these games allover instagram , the comments are always 'this game looks nothing like the ad'

and it's always the person 'playing' in the ad is clearly severely brain damaged

so what is the hook, what's the angle here...

"This person playing is so so stupid, I can do better"

As for why the ad looks nothing like the game? It's because the ad is made by an agency that gets paid based on how many people they get to download the game, and they don't care at all what happens after that. In many cases, the developer of the game also doesn't even care that most of the players will instantly abandon the game, because just getting those downloads to begin with puts their game higher up the app store ranking giving them effectively even more free advertising.

They cost almost nothing to make so it only takes a few downloads to make money on them.

I'm sure they're in the same mold as this guy: A dev trained robots to generate “garbage” slot machine games—and made $50K

Also games and ads are developed entirely seperately and assigned to each other after the fact.

STEEP does have its moments as a game.

One of those activities that looks like an incredible thrill, but so dangerous that the risk-reward ratio seems way off.

Pros: 25% chance of unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime adrenaline rush, never feel more alive, better than sex
Cons: 75% chance of unforgettable, literally once-in-a-lifetime splattering your corpse across a mountain, never be alive again

I guess 100% of the people who survive trying it say it was worth it, though.

This sort of thing always looked relatively playful to me until someone explained how loving strong they are compared to any resistance your body can put up so even a little tap is like getting hit with a brick wall. gently caress that poo poo.

At first I thought he was skitching. If he were hanging onto the back of the truck at least he'd have some sort of connection to the truck's momentum that wouldn't result in an immediate wipeout if it touched the brakes, but no. He's really cycling a few inches away from the back of a speeding truck.

i just saw a documentary on that yesterday. the whole situation is OSHA.txt because the ship sunk because the captain ordered the ship to sail in way too close to shore, the guy steering kept getting conflicting orders, and they didnt sound the alarm and tell people to evacuate until after the ship was listing

for bonus points the captain snuck off early with his side piece to sneak in to a lifeboat instead of helping the ecacuation process. 33 people died because of this rear end in a top hat

When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
