People also need to stop treating every pilot that isn’t film quality animation as if it’s poorly made

Thank you @robertrath.bsky.social for this moment (and thank you @caitlinroseboyle.com for the art!)
This also cracked me up
Saw an article pop up about "cozy horror" I am once again tapping the sign
I'm just more puzzled on the Fortnite side of things, like - who there was like "Yeah, sure, the woman from Obsession. That's an IP that makes sense in our shooty game - that's worth spending money for the license and will get us cash back."
Look, this is extremely stupid, but I also can't pretend that I honestly....care? At all? Obsession remains a fantastic film. This is just other companies capitalizing on that. Fortnite doing this is no worse than Space Jam 2 having the nuns from The Devils in it.
Nikki from OBSESSION joins FORTNITE tomorrow. You wished for this...
Gamers, would you pay $1800 to play Madden on a NEW console? No? What if we sweetened the deal a bit and charged you a fee to play online and took away discs and all games & controllers cost $100 now? Still no? What if we put out a new CEO deep dive article every month talking about how great we are
Hey sorry my war elephants just gave me a poke and I bolted awake somewhere deep in the French Alps what do these assemblages of script mean
On one hand: being radicalized by Umamusumes concert being cancelled and not the last two years of shit is fundamentally fucking embarrassing on the other: if we get Amerimaidan because of this and Haru Urara ends up in U.S. history books I may literally laugh myself to death
my kink is Dragon Ball characters deflecting ki blasts
Perpetually annoyed whenever I see an ad that’s just a TikTok. The ad industry used to waste so much money on elaborate, high concept garbage and society was better for it. Let’s get Jonathan Glazer to shoot a Cadbury ad where the devil does sexual chocolate ballet with babes.
It is done. My magnum opus. My legacy.
i think i will keep just approaching things with an open mind and try to have actual constructive criticism of things instead of reactionary takes! I find I tend to just enjoy shit more like that
Being a turbo pervert isn't a bad thing, so long as you understand boundaries and consent, and have a big heart. And consent is the hottest thing about being a pervert.
I really don’t think people understand what R* is like to work for. There’s no “field” it’s a black box you exist in. There’s no games industry or meeting people from it. It’s just you & the other people who work at R*. You don’t realize but they’re pitted against each other constantly.
Wow holy fuck what a shit in principle but also at least have some selfworth and ask for more than an hour of time off for betraying your entire field www.verticalslice.news/rockstar-acc...
If you’re on the fence let this be your wake up call. You -can- be a girl. You can do that. You’re allowed to. Don’t let yourself or anyone else get in your way. All you gotta do is accept yourself for who you’ve always been~ 💖
a cool thing about indie animation is that it's expected to save the entire industry, every show has to look better than the things the fans grew up on or it's a waste of time, there's no union to be found anywhere, no budget for any of it, and asking the audience to pay anything to watch is illegal
I finished Silent Hill Townfall, beautiful game and captivating narrative, I think I just really dislike hiding in closet horror stealth personally. The parts of the game I liked most had no closets. Maybe its a generational thing idk. do the children love closets
This isn’t even a “haha digital circus fandom bad” thing. In my opinion ALL fandoms are bad because the internet, by design, enables all sorts of zealotry and narcissism. “Fame” affords me a lot; more than most people can say. But also I need to maintain a healthy distance from it.
Every time I consider quitting I see some phenomenal passion and fanart for my webcomic and I tear up and am excited to keep going
Pleased I was able to surface this. If you also think labour reporting is important please consider supporting @verticalslice.news!
Absolutely repugnant behavior.
M. Night Shyamalan's YouTube channel (which is something he has now) came out of nowhere with this great line.
