Whether it was playing this game 10 years ago and thinking I was getting somewhere by deciphering the in-game language, or sitting here watching this TAS right now... I still have _no clue_ wtf is going on in this game.
Fun fact: There was literally never a time when the speedrun timer _wasn't_ called "GottaGomezFast" internally 🦔 Shame that the TAS goes so fast you don't get to see the preview thumbnail when starting speedrun mode!
I'm sure this TAS is fine, but like the game proper, I couldn't even get through half of it. The game was just such a huge disappointment to me. I probably expected too much or the wrong thing of it.
Nah, it never got a sequel 'cause Phil Fish is an unstable manbaby who _really_ shouldn't have had a public presence on the internet. Dude once said something to the effect of 'if you monetize Fez videos you owe me a cut and if you don't it's basically piracy." I dunno when streaming really hit it big, but I think it was after the 360 era, right? Can you imagine the gasket this guy woulda blown seeing dozens of people streaming Fez after it went live? All personally jumping into chat to scream at streamers, all yelling back on Twitter (and possibly ragequitting it again) after getting banned. I know this was a bait post, but the history surrounding the game and its weirdo creator is always fun to talk about.
@@prismaticowl I think copyright should be abolished all together. But most people who defend streaming don't go that far. And its weird, right? The Copyright system is permissive of derivative works only though licenses and purchasing rights, but videogame streamers rarely deal with those. If you support copyright law, you have to face that career games streamers don't face the hurtles as a career cinema streamer or music streamer would need to overcome. Why is that? How do you deal with that dissonance? Many people point to games streaming as uniquely performance art compared to the other two, but I disagree. That definition depends on arbitrary goalposts and imaginary hard genre boundaries. I deal with the dissonance by saying "full stream ahead" and abhoring copyright. idk though maybe I'm just built different
ngl this is me when the universe has fallen apart on a molecular level but i realize it doesn’t really matter and proceed to do a kickass drum solo anyway
