I'm reminded of Batman Odyssey, which was written by a Hollow Earth believer that incorporated it into the story. It was also amazingly bonkers.

Sunswipe posted:I know the one where Superman bombs a concert hall to stop Pat Boone singing a song Clark Kent wrote about Superman where the first letter of each line spells "Clark Kent." Just turning Jimmy into a woman to seduce someone seems far too subtle for Superman. Jimmy cross-dresses of his own accord anyway. Batman Odyssey also has a lot of shirtless Bruce Wayne rambling at you.

I actually liked Automata, but it's one of those projects where I think they had about two or three good ideas and the rest is going to get stupid quick. And the robots manage to look more human than the supposed humans do.

From reading the bizarre China thread in GBS, a lot of Chinese people seem to be under the impression they literally can't survive without Chinese food, or something along those lines. Basically all-round awful education in health and food hygiene combined with ignorance and paranoia about foreign countries.

I think this came up in another thread, a lot of products and services coming out of the tech bubble madness actually do have genuine use cases for the disabled and frail, though that's not usually how they're marketed.

Facebook Aunt posted:Yeah, one soylent guzzler even said it was cheaper, but at the time buying ensure by the case from amazon was cheaper per serving than soylent. So even if you never wanted to leave your house and just have monthly supplies of nutrition slurry delivered to you, soylent was not the best option. lol Also soylent tends to be rotten and/or full of mercury.

Isn't that what happened with fidget spinners? The original kickstarter got a lot of attention, then they hosed around while everybody else in the world flooded the market with legally distinct knockoffs and ate their lunch.

SpacePig posted:Goop for Dudes sounds like some sort of all-purpose cream you'd find in some hipster shaving supply store. So start from there. I was thinking more just general goop that doesn't pretend to be useful. Possibly with food colouring. Can be ordered by the can, tub or barrel and delivered to your door. Goop for you!

Truga posted:My grandpa had his will and documents in a "document box" he took home with him when ww2 ended. He died some 15 years ago, and we needed them. Naturally, both the lock and the key were rusty, and the lock failed. It was a tiny safe, just large enough for a fat stack of letter sized papers on the inside, but it weighed a loving ton, because the walls of it were like an inch thick. Took us 3 days to get that thing to open without destroying the papers inside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjnJk5V9nSM sounds accurate.

Fun thing is the 360 controller had a mini-keyboard you could plug into the headset jack. (and it had another jack down the bottom for the actual headset). I actually used it a lot when I did play it, it's a good weight.

Makes me want to check out Traditional Games for some crowdfunded heartbreakers and assorted insane nonsense role playing games. I have a soft spot for games that are so ridiculously complex it's hard to imagine people actually playing them. (then again, The Campaign For North Africa is a thing)

I'd say a board game anyone wants to play needs some playtesting, but then again half the board games everyone knows and owns two or three versions of. What you need is a marketing campaign. I remember seeing an XCOM board game in Gametraders, they still do tie-ins. My uncle has an old Rex Hunt's Fishing Adventures board game, including fish trivia I argued with my dad about. (are sharks fish?)

Clearly a majority is keeping those in power instead of dumping them as an embarrassmemt the way a lot of other countries have. Most of the people behind censorship boards and whatever aren't elected in the slightest. In the few cases they are and attention is drawn to them, they don't last long.

FoP is basically in its own little zombie simpsons world at this point. Funny thing they introduced a new character to try to change up the formula twice and then they just stopped showing up after a while both times when everyone hated them. One character was a magic dog, a literal Poochie.

I want to say all the homestcuk and night vale people popularized non rape tentacle rape themes in all the fanfics and poo poo since the hs and wtnv characters are supposedly non human. Also this was supposed to be the woke and progressive tentacle sex card game that was promoted to displace the other icky tentacle sex card game

I've actually been to Bathurst and been driven around it, iirc it's a bit infamous among the NASCAR-style racing popular in Australia for its difficulty, lots of tight corners and occasionally kangaroos hopping onto the track.

It's not exactly hard to make a legally distinct Slenderman, most go with 'The Thin Man' or something along those lines. (the Supernatural episode comes to mind)

veni veni veni posted:Slenderman is the shittiest folklore ever for that reason. It all traces back to some goon making a Photoshop with no pretense that it's a real thing. Like, with other cheesy folklore stuff there's always some rural weirdo that swears it's real and he's seen it and it makes it sort of fun. With Slenderman it's just like "Some guy made content for a thread. Even he knew it was bs" Super scary. Basically the same problem as with how UFO sightings disappeared overnight when phone cameras became a thing, random corners of dead gay internet forums are the only place where genuine organic folklore comes from anymore, no one cares what rural weirdos think unless they voted Trump and you're the New York Times.

veni veni veni posted:I think if you want to make a modern addition to folklore you should at least be required to pull a hoax that people can argue about. Smdh that some little girls actually killed someone over some sloppy photoshop that was presented as "here's my Photoshop!" And yet stories mutate unrecognisably through the telephone game of the internet; that was a little girl who stabbed another little girl a bunch of times (she survived) as a sacrifice to Slenderman.

There's a recurring meta theme with Slenderman material, most of the YouTube series I've seen implied that he is attracted to online attention. (and just loves the camera in general)

fishmech posted:This is frequently exaggerated though. You CAN spend hundreds of millions making a game, but you don't have to. And often publishers in dire financial straits decide to pull some dumb bet the farm gambles and it completely wrecks them because they just weren't suitable for it. Isn't a shitload of that budget, up to half of it, often spent on marketing, too?
