I'm glad they're making the correct decision to not skip Phantom Blood. I stop hanging out with people who say to just start with Battle Tendency. Imagine skipping the only Dio heavy part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Phantom Blood isn't even that long so skipping it just seems kind of dumb.

muscles like this! posted:Phantom Blood isn't even that long so skipping it just seems kind of dumb. Also, even if it's not indicative of the places the show goes in later parts, skipping over Phantom Blood kind of ruins the experience of watching the show rapidly lose its goddamned mind and then keep getting crazier... You can't just jump in to a dog and bird fighting each other with psychic punch-ghosts, you have to watch the show go from Victorian melodrama, to vampire hunting, to magic kung-fu vampire hunting and beyond!

all the talk about skipping JoJo parts is weird because like, what benefit are you gaining. its one thing if youre watching something and you find it kinda dull so you wanna skip to the more interesting parts but the way people preemptively say to skip parts is like. are you just obsessed with Consuming Content

The people recommending it are the ones who found it boring because they just wanted the bonkers anime, not the the context that makes it bonkers.

Folding Ideas' The Problem with NFTs is big enough that Dan Olsen went on [EDIT: some other youtube channels, not radio shows] and was interviewed by VICE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8St36RjHd2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLVOoE044ZA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMCs4fuW7Ww Assepoester fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Feb 16, 2022 |

The United States posted:Folding Ideas' The Problem with NFTs is big enough that Dan Olsen went on a radio show I do wonder if the superbowl crypto ad blitz was at least partially fueled by the industry needing to respond to Olsen's video. The video blew up in a huge way and seemed to really strike a chord with a lot of people, even those who were otherwise at best ambivalent to crypto and NFT's beforehand. Coinbase also tried to do a big response but that seems to have fallen completely flat outside of their existing userbase.

Rebochan posted:I didn't see this posted earlier, but Lindsay Ellis was interviewed for a segment on the New Yorker podcast. She's... not doing well. This was really upsetting to listen to. The interviewer seems to have completely missed the part where getting ripped apart by the internet is painful because colleagues and friends don’t talk to you any more, that it’s ostracism in the real sense of the word, not because people on twitter are mean, but I don’t think I would have wanted to hear any more about that given how rough that part of the interview is. I hope she finds peace that we don’t hear about, because that will mean her peace is away from the internet.

I AM GRANDO posted:This was really upsetting to listen to. Yeah. Considering it was a podcast about FREE SPEECH, I'm not surprised. Media tends to have a really hard time understanding the basics of internet interactions, they seem to be a deeply mysterious new thing rather than old social pressures just with no barrier of time and space. Ellis is in a very bad spot, and I really hope that she's able to get out of it. But I think you're right that we'll never hear about it if she gets there. I found a guy I wanna tell people about. His name's Grimbeard. He makes music, reviews old games, and talks about Supernatural. He isn't terrible. Yeah, I know, I was shocked too! His videos are all really high effort for how few views they get. I thought, when I found him, that I stumbled into one of those big youtube guys that everyone else but me knows. But nope, his stuff is produced like that but gets 50k on a hit. It feels really great to discover someone like this, someone putting their whole heart into making things they like to make even though they're not a big hit. It's clear he does whatever he wants, too. He loves spooky games, but that's led to him talking about Darkseed and Harvester as one of the few who actually get them and don't either fawn over how scary they are(cause they're not) or pretend to be totally confused by how silly they are. He also just talked about Headhunter, a game that came out back when videogames didn't know how to let you aim at guys, for an hour. Oh right, and his music. He makes gothic industrial music. Still. If that doesn't tell you that he's divorced himself from all trends, I don't know what to say. His channel's a blast, in a sort of almost nostalgic way where it's just some guy talking about the things he likes.

Macaluso posted:Rogersbase had a little dust up, and when I say little I mean extremely small, about his thumbnails. He actually responded to me: Once you've had images used uncredited over and over with "I totally failed to find the source, sorry lol" when a simple reverse GIS or even just the name of the thing in the picture would get a result on page 1, you start to get a little sensitive to that sort of thing.

Oh I agree. I had a drawing of Mario parodying Frozen years ago and George Takai posted it on his Facebook to millions of views and likes, completely uncredited. I tried to get him to at least credit me, but he never saw my comment and there was no real way to contact him. There were several people that stood up to defend his right to steal my work though. I'm still pretty sour on him after that. I had to mute the above thread at this point. Just so many people that think it's okay to use someone's art without permission because it's available online or all the idiots who think artists are hypocrites for wanting credit/permission on fanart when they didn't get permission to draw the fanart in the first place. The replies in that tweet are just so exhausting.

You will have a good time watching them.

I have absolutely no experience with Supernatural, so I've been watching his reviews of the early seasons just seeing it as a decent cable-tv fantasy action show, but every so often there's a clip from a later season that has me wondering how show got so totally off the rails, even worse than The X-Files did. Of course I realize that when a show has fifteen seasons, by the end you'll be nostalgically pining for the days when you still had fumes to run on, but the actual process of getting from A to B is still a mystery to me.

From there, inertia takes over and it basically becomes unkillable because it's still like the most-watched show on the CW by a factor of roughly every other CW show combined, and it effectively took COVID to finally bring it to an end.

Marshal Radisic posted:In that respect it doesn't sound that different from what happened with The X-Files. The original plan was to wrap up after the fifth season and transition to movies, but since the show was one of the Fox Network's few reliable hits they gave Chris Carter a garbage truck full of money to come back. They soldiered on for a few years more until even Duchovny started getting antsy, so they were going to wrap up with the seventh season. Unfortunately the seventh season broadcasted during the single worst year in the Fox Network's history, the 1999-2000 season, where almost every single new series was cancelled before completing their first season, with the only survivor being Malcolm in the Middle. With that disaster unfolding Fox gave Carter everything they could to keep the show on the air, which is why we got those awkward two last seasons. (Among the casualties of the 1999-2000 bloodbath was Carter's own replacement for The X-Files, Harsh Realm, which was canned after only three episodes. The show's been completely forgotten today, not even achieving the cult status of Millennium, but it's interesting as a sort of premonition of the 2000s in the aftermath of 9/11.) Don’t forget The Lone Gunmen, which was of course a premonition of 9/11.

I really like Grimbeard, he's just unashamedly doing his thing and I guess if you want to watch those things that's cool but he's going to do them anyway. I laughed a lot at the gag where he tearfully asks the viewer to look at a picture of the guy from Fields of the Nephilim while cocking a shotgun and preparing to euthanise them . His delivery is just great fun.

One does wonder if as the show slouched onward the writers started to regret killing off beings like, say, the Devil because it's hard to go up from there. I think they even pulled a Little Mermaid 2 and introduced something like the Devil's crazy sister.

The actual final season had them go up against God himself, who was depicted as a weirdo writer who had been scripting everything up until that point like it was a tv show, and who now wanted to cancel the show (aka destroy the universe) because his characters wouldn’t do what he wanted them to anymore.
