I just saw a good video from the escapist that wasn't by yahtzee, and, in the interests of signal boosting a good feature on a channel that's otherwise mostly a landslide of white noise, I'm going to post it here and encourage people to check it out

it encapsulates a lot of thoughts and concerns that I (and, I presume, a lot of other people) have about the streaming services boom and the over-farming of recognizable IPs, and it does so in a succinct ~10 minutes


if you like it, tell your friends, I really think this deserves a chance to rise above the noise and find an audience

I've been playing the game Hypnospace Outlaw recently, and honestly the game looks and is written so wonderfully it just makes me wish the game had... gameplay. Seems like a waste, but maybe it's just because point and click games aren't my thing usually. This one is alot of fun though.



This is a screenshot from it I took, I love writing that's both cute and funny like that :D

It's weird seeing the fat comic sidekick from My Name Is Earl being built like Schwarzenegger and I'll still think of him from that scene where they're drinking the bottoms from empties at Darnell's bar and Randy complains about the cigarette butts ruining the flavour

I didn't realize until you mentioned it. that is bizarre to look at. good for him though.

hi, i'm carl jung, and this is 'what are the odds'
<Marlin Clock> This thread seems proof positive that divisiveness at any level is usually bad for the Clock Crew.
<PhantomCatClock> are we talking about the same clock crew

the uneducated layman would see this as an obvious coincidence but the truly enlightened jungian knows every grey/black ball with red spikes is a flounderman the universe put there on purpose.

that's a Dick the Birthday Boy-tier coincidence imho

impossible to convey clearly in text: that thing black women do where they agree with something by saying "okay?"

impossible because: people say "okay?" to convey that the person they're speaking to is not making their meaning clear, and they do so in so many ways that no matter how you write it, it will always be read like a different version of that before the affirmative meaning
e.g. okay? okay??? okaaaaaay? ok!? okay? ooookay? o-kayyyy? etc.

awesome track to vibe to:


sad british goth voice like robert smith of the cure: "😞 it's like theres ALways rainclouds WAIting for me... and I've got this itch-I-won't scratch. it's like a FLU I can't uncatch... a phantom PAIN hurts SO bad THAT it's UNreal..."

(lil stringed instrument goes blwoongg)

shirt-rending wail of anguish voice:
"I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT BAD NEWS
I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT BAD NEWS
I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT BAD NEWS
I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT BAD NEWWWS 😭"

(boinky sound, possibly a synthesized percussion instrument, comes in with this needling insanity motif like bink bink bonk, beedy bink bink bonk, beedy bink bink bonk, beedy bink bink bonk, etc)

(oldies-sounding ass horn comes out of fucking nowhere to play a melody that reminds me of like Seals & Crofts or the M.A.S.H. theme or something)

Slurpee

(lil stringed instrument goes blwoongg again)
and you're like 😲 oh shit is the angst coming back? but no, it holds off... gives you more oldies horn solo

then
(lil stringed instrument goes blwoongg again)

the sad british guy again but now he sounds sexy and also autotuned: "🥺 and I got a feeling I can't shake,
it's like a bone I'm trying to break,
it's like seeing spiders running riot on your lover's grave"

and you're like ohhh, that's the title

and he's like "oooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
it's hARD to know what's re-allllllll 😭
like a vlialimasleeeeepeh*
I seen your face beFORRRE
but (letting his voice crack like john legend in everybody knows) nOw I FEel so used... 😞"



* ?

Slurpee

beats runs for a few bars with no accompaniment, just leaving you feeling hollow and abandoned JESUS CHRIST)

(boinky insanity motif comes back 🤤)

"nOW I FEEL SO Used-"

(FUCK THAT SHIT. skrillex-ass bass drop interrupts like DUHHR DUHHR DUHHR BR-R-R-R-R-R-R RRRRRRRR etc while the british guy repeating himself in the background gets obscured and buried under autotune and distortion ala circa 2010 kanye until the dubstep fades out and it rings keening and clear just before it fades)

"noW I FEEL SO U-u-u-sed..."

slightly drunk sounding sad british guy, sounding like he's curled up in the fetal position in his bathtub and also at the end of an abandoned dock somehow that's also in a cave:
(repeating insanely to himself)
"I feel so I feel so, I feel, now I feel so used... IIII feel so... I feel so... I feel, now I feel so used..."

(an alien begins quietly reassuring you in crazy echoing alien gibberish while the sounds of calming ocean waves and sizzling bacon fade in)
