LEONHART, in "Fantasy Zone" is such an innocuous name, too...

“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…”

ChillDude69,

“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.”

LEONHART,

Oh, totally. That was gold.

Halloween is a clear winner and doesn’t stop banging

Ghyste, in Happy Kwanzaa

Can we stop using the Chowderhead version of this meme? The shitbag doesn’t deserve it.

Definitely appreciate this meme otherwise

TokenBoomer,

Sorry. I didn’t think about that.

Ghyste,

No worries.

MashedTech, in Happy Kwanzaa

Idk man, I don’t like spooky. But I like being at home with my family eating the meat and wursts prepared by my grandma.

TokenBoomer,

Enjoy your time.

Snapz, in Happy Kwanzaa

Setup using this fucking idiot for your meme template, chuds.

Willy Wonka owned slaves.

Deiv,

Weren’t they paid in chocolate, their preferred currency?

meliaesc,

I have a hunch that it wasn’t their preferred currency.

In the first edition of Dahl’s novel, Oompa Loompas were Black pygmies Willy Wonka imported from “the deepest and darkest part of the African jungle,” according to Jeremy Treglown’s Roald Dahl: A Biography. In 1970, the NAACP issued a statement expressing concerns about the racist portrayal of the Oompa Loompas in light of the then-upcoming film. Dahl himself showed sympathy for their stance, and re-imagined them in the 1973 edition as having “golden-brown hair” and “rosy-white” skin.

Despite that change in description, the Oompa Loompas’ exploitative origin remained. Wonka smuggled them from their home to work at his factory. They worked tirelessly in exchange for cocoa beans, even as the chocolatier earned real money for their labor. They were prisoners restricted to areas inside the factory. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka learned the tribal language when negotiating a deal with the Oompa Loompas, but he was proud that “they all speak English now.”

afraid_of_zombies,

And seriously harmed children by bringing them into a workplace that he knew was not safe.

It should bother any decent person what he did. If they really did suffer from animal attacks he could have provided them with weapons. Hell, I am reasonable. He could have sold them guns and made a profit. “Ok peeps, work in my factory and I will pay you. You can use that money to buy stuff that will kill those animals”

Emerald,

There’s actually an interesting deep dive into this.

I'd go with fucking Megaman. Shit unfair as fuck

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

MonkeMischief,

Specifically those stupid sequentially disappearing blocks in the Iceman levels.

Maybe I’m just weak or something but Megaman X is like the perfect Megaman haha.

TIMMAY, in Happy Kwanzaa

Both are silly made up holidays that promote values that I find largely offensive, especially at scale. The only holidays that I personally value are holidays that celebrate the history of a group and/or person, and slutoween/caplitalistmas are the exact opposite of that.

TFW some arrogant kid thinks seeing a speedrun glitch is the same thing as knowing how to execute the glitch.

Let’s also remember that Willy Wonka fired all his workers and replaced them with slaves, in the original draft of the book they were people taken from Africa, so pretty much resembles slavery verbatim.

I’m not going to go too in depth with this because there’s a whole video already breaking it down in entirety (you can find it here.

    I was mocking too, but things changed when a phone became the device to play back videos. At this point the orientation didn’t matter as much.

    It got to the point that some services, like YouTube shorts pretty much mandate vertical orientation.

    ChapulinColorado,

    Cursing those services to never be seen on desktop devices because they look so wasteful of screen real state.

    bdonvr,

    It’s not so bad when your secondary monitor is vertical lmao

    JPJones,

    Sure, but then you’re viewing it on your secondary monitor.

    AltheaHunter,

    You don’t always need to use every bit of screen real estate. The goal is watching videos, not min-maxing monitor usage.

    Meowoem,

    I actually prefer them to landscape because like a growing amount of people I only watch YouTube on the right side of my screen and use the left for work, drawing, or if course internet browsing and chat windows.

    ramirezmike,

    it’s not stupid if that’s the format it gets viewed most in

    JPJones,

    Rotate your phone you dirty savage! Or don’t idc really.

    stolid_agnostic,

    I think you just proved the meme lol

    ramirezmike, (edited )

    all I’m saying is if you’re recording something for tiktok or Instagram, it’s going to look best if it’s recorded vertically

    ExtraMedicated,

    Yes, but we also hate tiktok and instagram.

    vaultdweller013,

    Hell I refuse to acknowledge either, mind you I also dont enjoy the content of either.

    Anemia,

    How is this controversial. If its made to be viewed on a phone then I don’t see the reason to film hoizontally. Epecially the type of content that most people seem to make on like tiktok etc. seems better in vertical view.

    ramirezmike,

    it looks like it’s controversial because any app that has vertical content must be terrible 🤷‍♂️

    Anemia,

    I mean I don’t perticularly like the content of any of those apps (lemmy is the only real social media i use). But that doesn’t change the fact that they are using the correct format for the job.

    ramirezmike,

    don’t get me wrong, I agree. Furthermore, despite the problems with apps like TikTok, I do think there’s an incredible amount of amazing content created on that platform. It can be such a showcase of the creativity of the average person, it just sucks that it’s pretty objectively terrible in multiple ways.

    Sl00k,

    Lemmy definitely showing its older age skew here lol. Almost anything related to any social media will be better vertical. (Even lemmy itself ironically)

    Hell the vertical video trend on TikTok this year was a phenomenal trend and I even recall seeing A24 doing a vertical trailer cut just for TikTok.

    SpiceyDejarik,

    I think it depends on your intended audience. If what you’re filming is meant to be viewed on a phone, then vertical makes sense. If the video is meant to be viewed on a TV, movie screen, or computer monitor, then rotate your phone.

    GrammatonCleric, in Times have changed
    @GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

    Ah yes, nothing like seeing a 16:9 picture pan-and-scanned on a portrait display.

    It’s not a generational thing; it’s a filming standard.

    Maven, in Times have changed

    I still do. Phones can be turned to view it either way. Screens can’t. I’m not gonna ask my bud to get up and rotate his living room TV 90 degrees so we can look at my vacation photos. Plus, until we learn to levitate with our minds, the plane humans interact is and will presumably remain much, much wider than it is tall, so landscape captures more of it.

    cyberpunk007,

    Yup. It’s a shame the camera lense can’t like rotate or something, phones are much easier to hold vertically.

    aulin,

    They’re just as easy to hold either way though.

    cyberpunk007,

    I find it too difficult to take a picture or video landscape one handed compared to portrait

    mamotromico,

    Why is that? Most phones allow you to press the shutter with the volume button so it should be easy either way

    cyberpunk007,

    I usually change settings, my phone is big. Like depending on the scenario I might change my frame rate on the video or the optical zoom. I find it too difficult with a pixel 6 pro and my hand size. Also I use rotation lock because it’s annoying if I’m laying down to have it rotate on me. So then I also need to tap the icon in the lower corner to rotate it, or disable it while I take a video. Lots of mucking about for one hand.

    aulin,

    That’s true, but I find it just as difficult to access those features onehanded in vertical orientation, so I either do those twohanded before shooting, or I struggle about as much to reach them in either orientation.

    FlyingSquid,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    The weight is more evenly distributed if you hold it vertically. I still hold it horizontally though.

    aulin, (edited )

    I don’t know. If I balance the phone on my pinky, with the index finger on top and ring- and middle finger behind, it sits very solidly. My thumb is then free to tap the shutter button.

    HughJanus,

    Ehhhhh no that’s obviously wrong.

    stolid_agnostic, (edited )

    I suspect that the sensor has the same dimensions, roughly, as the phone itself. Putting in a square one would probably cost more. Not saying that either way is right, just that that’s probably the reason.

    someguy3,

    Lenses are circular, so the most cost effective would be a square sensor and square picture. I don’t actually know what modern sensors are though.

    LostXOR,

    Most phone camera sensors (and most camera sensors in general) are 4:3.
