@Zari_Wari I remember the show Cheat!, on G4 showing me where to find all the submachine guns around the mall, only for me to painfully realize most of the guns actually suck against bosses.
@bad_takes Current speculation on why this happened is actually that he wanted like a blank check for his latest game, but Death Stranding 2 didn’t sell well enough to justify it.
@TheRealHenry32 One of those shows where the backstory behind it is probably 5x more interesting than the show itself (comic strip it was based on had been out of circulation for years, creator allegedly lied about its popularity until he found a network willing to fund an animated series of it)
@KnightDreak@antiTWSF Surströmming - it was actually an internet trend like a decade ago where people dared each other to eat it, apparently it tastes fine but the smell is insanely bad.
At my school all the kids that sat at the frutiger aero table during lunch thought they were so much better than the frutiger metro or global village coffeehouse kids
@biggieU_U Yeah l think early Xbox 360 era was when the whole “Game Developer that’s just a bunch of friends hanging out” phenomenon started to die out. By that point I think it just became incredibly hard to develop a triple A console game unless your people took that shit deadly seriously
@biggieU_U The brown Unreal Engine look works so well for the Gears universe specifically, it’s a shame a million other games that gen also used it and basically forever tainted that aesthetic.
@YungKark I remember I got one of the Wish Granter endings in SOC (I think the one where you wish to become immortal and get turned to into a statue?.) Then looked up the true ending, said “yeah that’s kind of weird I kinda like my ending better” and ended it there.
@doubleday14@WillSloanEsq Genuinely tried really hard to love that movie but it just didn’t really do much for me. I think nowadays the wall to wall ugly CGI doesn’t help either.
