@river_is_nice "Twitch, except gifting subs gets you a shirt or appliance or something" actually makes a lot of sense

QVC basically invented live-streaming decades ago: Goes 24/7. A good 80% of the show is just the hosts going on long personal digressions. People watch it as background. Heavy parasocial element. Hosts know the callers (95% are repeat buyers). It’s 100% Twitch for grandmas.

I really gotta watch more QVC 💀

@corsaren "Twenty-thousand years of this, seven more to go" is such a microcosm of how so many people felt during COVID until we all slowly woke up and realized the world was not ending and everything was more or less fine
English
Inside by Bo Burnham is *the* definitive piece of Covid art. Nothing else really compares imo.
It even manages to capture those little details, like rampant millennial narcissism combined with pedantic socialist politics.
Emma Camp@emmma_camp_
Question for the group: has there been any great art about Covid? Any incredible literary novels or films? I can't think of anything off the top of my head but my cultural knowledge is not limitless.

@tomiwebstr my fav is the nuclear vault opening in Dune 2; noticed it the first time in the theater. Truly amazing stuff
English
@PantsAlmighty @BenRitholtzNBA Attributing something unintelligent to the “hood”. Interesting
English
@redeemed_zoomer Sometimes I feel they are a bit silly, but then I think about how many people might be having a life crisis and then they see such a sign. It becomes less silly to me then
English
The "Jesus saves" signs on the interstates in the Midwest are based
They're basically the only signs that people pay to put up and don't want any money from you for
It's random people whose "ministry" you'll never join who simply care about your soul
English
@gotnothingforya i think he's having a hard time being away from home AGAIN after having just been gone for 40 days. at this point, they've already done like 2 weeks of preseason press and stuff so it's easy to imagine he misses his family
English
Just finished Split Fiction with the wife; lots of fun. Level design had us oohing and ahing at several points. Sometimes even made me think of the best Mario games; however, Mario isn't trying to tell a heartfelt story about Jungian archetypes through millennial one-liners; 8/10

@summoningsalt Your video on this in 5 years (The Quest to Beat GreenSuigi) is going to win Oscars
English
Suigi, who holds all 5 speedrun world records in Super Mario 64, put out an $8,000 bounty for the first person to break any of his records.
So far, nobody has been able to claim any money and Suigi has beaten his own 70 star record twice.
Suigi@greensuigi
THE $8000 BOUNTY HAS LIT A FIRE UNDER ME I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CLAIM IT BUT I CAN STILL PLAY (Yes im crine 😭😭)
English
@titopinha I was just calling him the Michael Phelps of speedrunning. Holding records like this is so impressive, but then you take into account it's one of the most popular speedrunning games there is... bro is actually in a league beyond everyone else.

Podemos pararnos a analizar la santa puta locura que es este pavo?
1. Mata la 16 stars
2. Saca las 5/5 main
3. Pasa el tiempo y nadie lo supera en ninguna
4. Para motivar a que la comunidad lo supere dará +5000$ a quien bata 1 sola categoría
5. El primero en batir un tiempo es él mismo 1 semana después de anunciar el premio
6. Por si acaso lo vuelve a superar a los 2 días
Estamos hablando probablemente del Messi, no de Mario 64, sino de todo el speedrun.
Esto todo sin contar las categories extension y demás títulos donde también posee world records y tiempos que compiten con los mejores

@PracticalTAS @Darth_Rest and people won't say he's the GOAT
English
@Darth_Rest Not a typo. Hbox has attended 150 majors in his career and only missed top 8 four times.
English
16 Melee players have ever achieved a streak of 10+ consecutive top 8 finishes at major tournaments.
Armada is currently the only player who retired before his streak was broken. Will Cody join him?
English
@MindReader_PEI i believe acola's tag is actually meant to mean A Cola. Like, that's the joke
English
acola has been a top player for years now why does EE still pronounce the tag like he's ordering a beverage at a restaurant

@notjojoagain @thegrayfruit mmm ok. i might revisit. i guess i've never heard of someone who played it and finished it and thought it sucked.
English
@PantsAlmighty @thegrayfruit Brittle hollow is also a place with tons of information. Theme based would mean you can "hunt down" specific stuff. During my first playthrough i chased down the music using the signalscope
English
@notjojoagain @thegrayfruit i've been to the twins and giant's deep. i've also done some exploring around timber hearth. wdym themed based
English
@PantsAlmighty @thegrayfruit I mean, the real reward is putting the pieces together with the information you have. Which planets have you been to? You could also do themed based exploring :)
English
@thegrayfruit and don't say skill issue i've beaten hard games before, the physics just take a level of practice that i haven't put in yet because it doesn't feel rewarding
English
@thegrayfruit i made it 3 hours into gameplay and i'm getting frustrated at the lack of progress i'm making on the story. i only survive 1/4 attempts to get to a place, and then i get there, do the 5 minutes of discovery, pick a new place, and repeat. convince me to keep playing
English
@LiquidHbox my conspiracy is that this was an intentional reference to "stalling" from some based dude in the production of this. it's just too specific
English
@jonathanmb32 watching it, I was also thinking about how tasteful the laugh track was.
English
@ecto_fun in the same way blockbuster film lighting has become increasingly bland in order to maximize appeal, film scores have done the same thing. Most movies with the zeal to make a statement with their music don't have the budget for a big orchestra. Source: degree in film scoring
English
can someone who knows what they’re talking abt tell me the real reason scores dont sound like this anymore
All Things Movies@ThatMoviePage
It's early Summer 1996, you're at the movies sitting with a packed audience still munching away on your popcorn. This comes blaring out of the speakers. Life is great.
