Some of her releases can be tedious. I like to put them on when I'm doing repetitive things at work, so I can sort of zone out and get in the flow

One of my favourite things with Gollum is that I saw a few people out there acting like it was "another highly anticipated AAA game from a big dev that was a disaster", putting their apology tweet up there with ones like the Cyberpunk one.

When actually it's a low-mid budget game that no one wanted, from a dev that had previously mostly made 2D adventure games, who somehow got the Lord of the Rings license and tried to sell the game for $60 off the back of that.


Huge shame about the devs. They made a bunch of really charming and / or critically acclaimed titles in a genre that kind of doesn't exist anymore, outside of indie projects

So I dunno what's up with YouTube but I tend to use YouTube for two reasons - watch video-essays, long and short form. And listen to music. Whenever I pop into the shower while listening to something, once that video finishes it 100% without fail auto-plays to something by Dan Olson. Like I love the guy, sure, but I've probably by now accumulated 10 hours on his NFT and metaverse videos. It's alright, autoplay me some hbomberguy for once

No idea how much about animation costs but it seems beautifully done

I should probably play FO4 one of these days. I know the story is dogshit but I hear really good things about the sandbox.

I agree with that assessment. Whenever a thread discusses FO4, I Kramer into it to let everyone know that it's a bad Fallout game, but the best Bethesda game.

Get the game, get some mods (Sim Settlements mandatory), then start a game in survival mode. Forget about the main quest entirely. Just live your life scavenging Houses for scrap to build your self a shelter, and inch ever closer to Boston, building or save point after another. What was once worthless background clutter becomes a valuable commodity. You think how many bullets and grenades you should carry and whether you want to bring screws or ceramic mugs. And bit by bit you slide into side quests, meet companions while rummaging around, and build a new Commonwealth.

I loved it to bits.

I had always wondered why hololive has all these nendoroids and figmas and statues and other expensive, elaborate merchandise, while nijisanji only has acrylic standees using default stock images, or audio download packs or whatever. That is indeed why, nijisanji fired a talent named zaion lanza and she spilled the beans on a ton of internal knowledge including the merch share. There is a reason nijisanji is now listed as an example of a Black Company on wikipedia.

dokibird had 9k subscribers when she retired to join nijisanji and became selen tatsuki, who had like 860k subscribers at her peak. She definitely benefited from it. However, thanks to all this, we have learned how little nijisanji actually assists their talents beyond giving them access to certain sponsorships and the like.

In hololive's case they definitely put in some effort for their talents in regards to collaboration and sponsorships. Calli got to do both that one piece song and also the metal gear song(regardless of what you think of the quality of them), which is a pretty big get.

neither of these are true, there are plenty of successful indie vtubers and also agencies that don't exploit their talents. Vshojo is the ideal situation, where it's more like a proper talent agency rather than a company you work for and don't own anything. Vshojo talents own all their IP and can leave whenever they want, and the company also provides things like mental health therapists and legal support.

It's not so much "clues" as that the nijisanji livestream named names of people who would "be doxxed" by selen's statement, which, why would she mention these specific talents in a legal document if they were not involved? But again, none of that should have been public and indeed would not have been if nijisanji had not blown their entire foot off unprompted!

I'm in no way trying to offend anyone. But when I read all these online personality nonsense names and associated drama all i see in my head is the "Stop Doing Math! They have played us for fools!" meme.

It's just all so alien to me and I'm completely out of touch with it. As though this was too online for people who are already terminally online.

How you interpret an online personality involving their loved ones / children in their work also depends on culture. In the Anglosphere yeah sure, it doesn't surprise me if a loved one walks through the camera, says high, and shows up every now and then. In German-speaking countries where people religiously blur bystanders in the background and license plates I expect that influencer parents are much less inclined to put their kids in front of the camera.

Rogue One ruled. Was the only of the newer movies where I felt like there was something at stake. And it turned out there was!

I felt it was very, very intense especially in comparison to the rise of Skywalker. Which at several moments just had me sitting there asking myself if I was understanding it correctly because it didn't make any sense.

The prequels were absolutely hated in the online discourse of the 2000s. Didn't stop them from being very successful and beloved by now.

I'm wondering whether that'll happen to the sequels. I liked the first two but Rise Of Skywalker is just so drat chaotic and as others have said, at times plain incoherent. It's legit hard to follow in my opinion because so many scenes felt distractingly nonsensical. I think you'd have to release a substantially different edit to make it work. (Luckily Star Wars already has a bunch of CGI actors so you can call them back to reshoot if you must)

That’s why I liked the last Jedi more. Rian brought prequel poo poo right up and didn’t shy away from it. Basically summed up the point of those movies which was “the Jedi were too blind and complacent to realize they were being manipulated by the most evil man ever”

TLJ rocked imo. I loved the spooky vibes around Rey exploring the dark side. The fight scene in the red throne room was so gorgeous. And that moment they cut the star destroyer in half. Plenty of really strong moments in that movie.

No idea what the plot was about. IIRC everyone complained about McGuffins and other cliches.

a key point a lot of people miss about shinji and eva is how anno talks about otaku stuff and closing yourself off from the world and indulging your hobbies.

specifically, he says its fine. if you want to do that, go for it. its your life. the problem and the people hes frustrated with - and the behavior he was frustrated with in himself - is when you do that but then expect other people to reach out to you and try and fix you, or accommodate for you, without making any effort to do that on your own. you want human relationships, but you make no effort to get them. you retreat into yourself while hoping someone else will pull you out into the world.

its a common otaku/neet fantasy to have that wish fulfilled. in the 90s/early 2000s it was 'magic girl/boy teleports into my room,' for the past few years its been isekai type stuff. circumstances pulling you out of that rut without you actually having to put in effort until you've already been pulled out. basically, wanting someone else to take the first step for you.

this is very consistent with how shinji is portrayed in eva. hes constantly wanting the people in his life to put in more effort than he is. gendo's a dick, but shinji makes no effort to try and connect with him. itd be one thing if shinji made that effort and gendo rebuffed him, but shinji gives up without even trying. there's no attempt to even attempt to understand his father. same with asuka. he projects onto rei rather than actually trying to communicate with her. his friendship with kensuke and toji is mostly surface level. etc. shinji makes no attempt to be emotionally open with other people, yet he expects them to understand him. thats the problem.

i hate how relevant this dumb anime remains to my life lol.

I mean I suppose it's hard to put hard numbers on it. But on a qualitative level, you can see echoes of gamergate in the online radicalization of a lot of chuds and boomers. IIRC Bannon himself was using gamergate as a template for mobilizing frustrated men. Doesn't make it any less tedious but I'm convinced that there's a throughline from 2011 "I'm just quoting Hitler ironically", to 2014 "The SJWs are ruining video games" to 2023 "woke Disney is suppressing information about white genocide and in order to ensure the survival of our kind we must banish abortions".
