Same LMAO they’re neat but I’ve always been so meh about them. And there’s not even like new ones, it’s always the same versions over and over again

Superheroes are gay.

I’ve been watching countless PirateSoftware drama videos since it’s the clown that keeps on giving. I never bothered with drama channels on YouTube, so I never realized how much of an industry these people made out of it now that I keep getting recommend them. It’s sickening.

I can’t help but wonder how much the popularity of reality TV led us to where we are now. I don’t just mean how the US president used to have his own stupid show, but how many people grew up thinking that “watching people create drama” is peak entertainment.

The same era saw the decline and demise of a number of educational channels and shows. Is it a coincidence? I don’t know. All I know is there are lots of adults who grew up watching “reality” shows who now think politics are just a game to “win” and that when their opponents are upset, it’s amusing. It’s like the concept of empathy or working together don’t even enter their minds. Everything is just for entertainment, no matter how serious it is or how many innocent people get screwed over by it.

It’s cheap to make. People watch other people at their packagable worst. That’s about it.

Interdimensional cable is arguably better.

It’s not just to watch the game, it’s to watch/listen to the streamer. It’s like a talk show.

For the viewer: Playing take a lot of energy, watching is more passive. Especially like horror games that raise your blood pressure / heartrate. Also, not everyone can afford games, some are console only, and even PC games have hardware requirements that people don’t have, because people either have a potato computer, or just have smartphone only. Also, games are hard, watching a streamer dying is kinda funny.

For the streamer: Socialization (even tho its kinda one-sided, they can still read comments / live chat), and most importantly, money.

I only follow a handful of streamers, I really don’t care what games they play. What’s important to me is that they’re entertaining, not too loud like 90% of U.S streamers.

I especially like streamers who play with their friends, I find solo streamers boring and compensate by being loud and shouting all the time.

Sometimes I just don’t have the time to play so I leave a streamer on in the background while I work and look at that screen every once in a while to catch s glimpse of a game that’s nostalgic and comfortable.

Yea it’s decent, but what really takes the cake is that it’s far better than what you can get at McDonald’s and (at least in my area) it’s cheaper than McDs

Their double double combo is like 10$ compared to McDs pitiful BigMac combo at like 13

It’s not worth flying across the country for like some do, but if I have a choice between McDs or In-N-Out…

It’s worse than ok. I’d rather have any other common fast food. Fries are stale, shake melted, burger bad. The burger was the best part, but god damn it was a terrible meal. Not worth the meal. I would have rather eaten saltine crackers and peanut butter. We ended up throwing most of it out and going somewhere else.

Contrary to the negativity, while McDonald’s for me is generally considered the bell-curve available absolute 5/10, their food engineering is incredible and worth admiring. They’re the one chain that I confidently am in awe of from a scientific perspective, AND, still hold the crown for best Coke.

When an artist is the first to inspire a movement, history tends to look back on them differently. There’s a related trope that covers this phenomenon - “Seinfeld is Unfunny.” From that page:

There are certain works that you can safely assume most people have enjoyed. These shows were considered fantastic when they were released. Now, however, these have a Hype Backlash curse on them. Whenever we watch them, we’ll cry, “That is so old” or “That is so overdone”.

The sad irony? It wasn’t old or overdone when they did it, because they were the first ones to do it. But the things it created were so brilliant and popular, they became woven into the fabric of that work’s niche. They ended up being taken for granted, copied, and endlessly repeated. Although they often began by saying something new, they in turn became the new status quo.

Nirvana is one of the artists mentioned under the “Music” examples on that same page. The point is, they were groundbreaking when they came out, but they changed the music scene so much and have inspired so many similar artists that their original work has become overshadowed by the successors they helped create.

Your experience is common and it’s okay not to enjoy their music, but the key to remember is that without Nirvana helping to pave the way, other grunge bands may not have risen to the popular level they reached.

I respect Nirvana tremendously for the movement they ushered in. I cannot enjoy most of their music, however.

Foo fighters is a bit better, but I admit I pick and choose.

Nirvana was ok. They are the ones credited with killing the hair metal genre.

But honestly Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots…they are all 10 times better than Nirvana ever was.

The TV Series or the real estate scam by the rich?

Hey don’t bring vanilla into this, vanilla is actually an amazingly deep and complex spice and flavor. Common =/= complex or good
