Ive seen that many adds for idiotic games where the stupid fuck in the add is obviously just playing the game poorly and I KNOW its a tactic to get me to prove how smaht I am by getting the game and doing better than the shitstick in the video. I KNOW its a manipulation tactic.
There’s a subset of those that end up actually being SUPER CREEPY. Ya know the ones where there’s, like, a pack of Albert Einsteins or Socrateses (Socratepedes???) all chanting and waving their arms? And saying some weird shit like “ONLY LEFT BRAINED PEOPLE CAN BEAT THIS LEVEL” or whatever wack-ass shit, like that?
That shit is somehow, like, actual nightmare fuel for me. It’s just too surreal and weirdly threatening. Makes me want to just not look at it, instantly.
Vinny from Vinesauce on twitch will often play the most horrible mobile games/ads on Sunday streams and him and chat are always just absolutely shitting on them. It’s a great laugh, I highly recommend.
Reality is even worse than the worst thing you can imagine. You know all those games you’ve seen hundreds of ads for and do do a pretty shitty job at making the game itself feel interesting?
Well that game content shown in the ads is actually the best part of those games. The actual game has nothing to do with what’s shown in the ad, but if you keep playing the super boring game, from time to time you get a chance to play a mini game inside of it which is still pretty boring but miles ahead of the rest of the game. Those mini games are what is shown in the ads.
I don’t know how those games afford so many ads. Who is even playing them. I can only imagine some people actually play it just for fear of missing out because the constant ads for those games make the game itself appear popular.
I don’t know if I’ve seen that one. But the Country Crock commercials show what non-abusive white marriages are like. Lots of small talk and occasional hand-touching, but not much else.
Wait - is that a SEQUEL to the one like 20 years ago?
I know about it because I had recorded some show on VHS and watched it a million times (as kids do) and the OG Folgers Christmas commercial was one of the commercials.
It was the same premise but the sister was a little kid and the brother was home from college IIRC.
I’d chalk it up to common marketing strategies based on family around the holidays.
That said, I really hope the one you’re talking about didn’t have the same sexual tension between the brother and sister. “I can excuse incest but I draw the line at pedophilia”
Well I stand corrected, the newer one is definitely a tribute to the old commercial considering it seems to have been a bit beloved. Except the newer one is also beloved by white brothers and sisters everywhere.
Ro was basically on probation in her first appearance or two, IIRC. Uniform modifications are allowed at the discretion of the officer’s CO, and Ro was already in something of a disciplinary thing, so forbidding modifications makes some sense.
While the earring is typically religious and she may have been able to argue for reasonable accomodation on those grounds, Ro specifically wears it on the left ear, which is considered a secular way to show familial heritage while also indicating you don’t follow the Bajoran faith.
Just double checked. Looks like beta-canon from the novels. Interestingly, according to Memory Alpha, the first episode or two with Bajorans in TNG had all the male Bajorans wear the earring on the right and all the female Bajorans wear it on the left, but right ears for both sexes became standard pretty early on. The only other named character that wears it on the left is Lt Mura in PIC.
Just got the wild thought in my head that I should tell you how to do this. Get yourself an appropriate sized pan and a can of two of garbanzo beans or chickpeas, whatever they’re called where you’re buying them. Get pan hot with your favored oil, mine’s pure olive oil. Then add the DRAINED beans (shake as much liquid as you can out of them) and fry to the desired crisp.
I played the fuck of Megaman 3 and battletoads and battletoads double dragon when i was kid, but i didn’t played this game in post, please enlighten me, from the looks of it it’s like touhou
I remember my mom found this one in the clearance bin when I was a kid! It was the only Tengen cartridge I had and it was so odd looking next to the other games on the shelf lol
I remember finding this game in black and white on a 386 “laptop” that ran windows 3.1, bought for $5 at a thrift shop on a curious whim, back in 2006. Thing was more of a lugtop, easily 15lbs.
Not sure how but I accidentally found myself in this game.
I’m not sure what the most original version was, but the one the screenshot is from is called Gorillas, and it was included with Mircosoft Qbasic, on DOS. It was intended as an example program, to show what QBasic could do. I modded the crap out of it, to make the explosions bigger and weird colors, etc. Changed the gorillas to be all mutated and fucked up, etc. Good times.
seriously remember when these first came out circa 2014 and only wealthy people were buying them? Then Amazon saw what power they had in their hands recording all audio from within people’s homes, they brought the price down way low so even Neanderthals can have these now. Oh the spying possibilities!
Like how they have a complete surveillance network of “Ring” devices on 98/100 homes in American suburbs?
You’d think it was mandatory. It’s so creepy. I don’t even wanna think how many cameras catch me from all angles just walking down the street.
Not a fan of how “meta” is swarming the VR market with loss-leader headsets either. Lord knows the kind of data they’re pulling from those things, and on top of it, they’re turning VR into another mobile-trash market in the process. But that’s another conversation.
“What’s that, Yakuza 0? You’d like me to complete a mission by achieving 100,000 points in a retro game down at the arcade? No sweat, what game is–ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“Ffffffuuuuuu” is right, but it WAS hilarious, how they introduced the Fantasy Zone cabinet, in the game. That arcade ho was like “I’ll show you my fantasy zone,” and Majima was like “I’m all ears. And, like, one eye.”
