Is it even technically a movie? I thought it was just a recorded version of one of her recent concerts.

It's a concert movie.

E: a series of still images displayed in rapid succession to give the illusion of movement. I recommend starting with zoetropes and then moving up to the real poo poo once you've mastered the fundamentals

Ben is so silly that it’s hard to feel the same level of contempt for him as other terrible GOP Propagandists, similar to how you know the dumb henchman is also a villain but he’s so pathetic you feel a bit bad. Ben is supposed to be the awkward-but-really-smart-kid but he’s chronically walks into rakes.

That English Conservative personality who told him “If only you could understand how foolish you sound” after Ben accused him of being part of the Far Left media really got his number.

His Barbie meltdown was great, but nowhere near as bad as the WAP thing.

Nah, he's one of the more strident advocates for the ethnic cleansing of palestine. The fact that he's a weird dork who bought a plank of wood and boasted about not being able to please his wife merely adds flavour to how awful he is.

You can't just have dorky assholes in politics anymore. They have to be the biggest scum on earth and/or an absolute clown. Anything but a massive buffoon won't grab enough votes anymore, it's its own kind of inflation.

He's a guy who got famous going around to colleges picking arguments with freshmen to make himself look smart, and he was only able to do that because of shadowy right-wing orgs footing the bill.

Yeah he started out making Christian games. FNAF happened because people said the main character of a side scroller he made looked creepy.

I think he has stopped being directly involved with the series though. The newer games did not have much of his input.

He’s a writer and producer on the film. He’s getting hella money from it and he’s going to turn it around right into Ted Cruz’s pocket.

FNAF survived by being centrepiece of the "long videos about lore and theories" era of YouTube.

The FNAF fanbase is still very much alive and the movie is currently tracking for a $40 million opening weekend, which would make back its budget instantly and be the second-best opening weekend of Fall only behind Taylor Swift. They all got very upset upon learning their money was going right into campaign contributions for Mitch McConnell, but internalized it so they could continue to Consume Product pretty fast.

The time for it to have ended was at least five or ten years ago, oddly, it's stronger than ever.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
FNAF always sounded to me like it should be a sequel to Weekend at Bernie’s.

¡Hola SEA!


Anecdotally, while my kids and their friends are aware of FNaF, the horror games they are interested in are Poppy’s Playtime and Rainbow Friends. These are elementary age kids at an urban, ~80% black school. Obviously both of those games are direct descendants of Five Nights but it seems to have been superseded a bit.
