Lol, it's funny how people categorize acceptable and unacceptable meat.

I would watch the shit out of that. YouTube broke the limiter on the length of content I will consume in a sitting.

Maybe. The YouTubers I see doing it are essentially roleplaying. It's a lot of reading into shallow dialogue like Pokemon or Animal Crossing, and I think it's hitting some button in my mind where it feels particularly inauthentic. Like overblown reactions that feel too rehearsed or planned.

Which is funny, because I can enjoy video essays that go on for hours, and those are also artificial. Maybe it's the lack of pretense of it being a deliberate planned work? But also if I wanted to watch someone play a videogame, I'd rather watch my partner play or just play it myself and listen to their reactions.

I think I'm running into something with my neurodiversity, but I don't want to be hasty and blame a part of myself if it's another reason I'm not enjoying it.

I remember playing p3 when it first came out and she called me out in a conversation where I picked an answer I thought she'd liked instead of what I felt. I started thinking more about dating Sims and romance subplots after that. Yuko is cool.

The cowards could have called it Air Force 2 and gotten the irony-poisoned audience.

That's a pretty deep dive

My favorite part will be when the movie stumbles out of the gate and calls Link Zelda by mistake like an out of touch parent

True. It's strange to think about how it slipped into a placeholder for magic points

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

True, but I think it's a flaw (not a huge one) that none of the main heroic characters openly agree or expand on the themes. It's good, but I sense it's from the writers not wanting to rock the boat too hard, or executive meddling keeping the themes less explicit.

It worked exactly as designed. Just functional enough to give the illusion of fairness. The great equalizer that sanitizes the image of nepo babies
