The worst ones were the Ferengi teeth in star trek DS9. All the poor actors had these huge fake Ferengi teeth in their mouth and they had to try and articulate regardless. It took them literally 7 seasons to learn how to speak clearly with those fake teeth in, and by then the show was over lol. It took Worf, the klingon in starfleet, a whole TWO different star trek TV shows to learn how to articulate properly with his fake klingon teeth in, cos he was in all of star trek TNG and then was a main character in DS9 after that. I always thought damn, these are relatively very big budget TV shows and they can't make proper teeth for their main characters, let alone side characters who rarely appear. These were the main characters in an ensemble cast. I gotta respect them for doing as well as they did despite the bad fake teeth

@k.morningstar7983 3 года назад

Was JUST talking to my partner last night about how some of my favorite games--Undertale, Spelunky, Stardew Valley--are ONE PERSON dev teams. It almost... I don't know, seems like small teams are making what they love and want out of necessity, working under the belief that it might not make it "big" (at first) but they want to make something special and fun.

@Sofiaode18 3 года назад

@jacksonsmith2955 3 года назад

Not to defend large companies, but you can't claim indie devs make consistently good games. For every Stardew Valley there are tens of thousands of awful one-person games that no one has ever heard of. Bad EA games are of far higher quality than 97% of indie games.

Non-Americans and people that don’t know history don’t understand how the unions here are just like guilds that have partnered with the government rather than any kind of labor association. Historically the unions that were supported by our government were racist and supported gun control and gerrymandering. Joining a union in America is like joining a cult, complete with bumper stickers and political ideology. And none of them actually try to unionize a wider labor market, it’s all like local trade unions that cost more than an average laborer, because they pay people to stand around because the young people do all the work and the old dudes that should be in an more intellectual position are stuck on the job because (capitalist labor market).

Free market sounds great in theory and it might even work on a smaller scale but once a company grows big enough to become a corporation, they will crush any competition but the sheer amount of money they control. And when a few huge corporations come together and start lobbying aka. buying politicians, in order to gain even greater wealth and tax breaks at the expense of the common people, that's when you get the USA.

Abi and James Stephanie Sterling were already LGBTQ icons before both coming out as trans, because they were already both out of the closet as bi, which especially for James Stephanie is a pretty big thing as gamers don't seem to like anyone who's not straight and cis (and male and white). The fact they already had a huge RU-vid channel about gaming, one of the biggest channels on gaming in fact, and they weren't dislike-bombed every video like other LGBTQ or left wing gamer channels have to suffer through, is really a testament to how good they are. They talk facts, about how fucking awful most gaming companies are both to consumers and to their employees (basically destroying the mental health of everyone who works for them) is something all people who play video games can be angry about. It's not socialism to bring up how awful the crunch-time for these developers is. I mean it is inherently left wing, but James Stephanie is always great at getting everyone to be on the same page about it. Kinda stealthily talking left wing politics every week without a lot of people even noticing. It's impressive.

It wasnt until game companies started controlling their servers that the very concept of "toxicity" was born. Porn and Gore sprays on CS 1.6. Porn maps on WC3. Racism, Sexism etc was all up to the players discretions and the only bannable offense was blatant hacking. Those were the days...

@AtomicSource11 4 года назад

Yeah weird huh? Except (standalone) games as we buy them today have this weird duality of being a good AND a service at the same time. In order to play the game, you need to agree to a EULA which gives you a *licence* to play the game, which can be revoked at any time by the publisher. We also buy a delivery method (might be a physical disc, or access to a service to download it). Most of what we pay for when buying a game is the IP. IP is honestly the weirdest category of 'good'. Like, if you've bought a game disc, you've bought one of the strangest commodities in existence.

@DeepDiveDevin 4 года назад

@@AtomicSource11 It actually _cannot_ be revoked by the publisher. When you purchase a game as a good you purchase it under a _perpetual_ license. That means you are entitled to a working product, or some reasonable chance of making it work again. You don't own any part of the IP when you buy games. You're buying a copy of that IP's image which you can do anything you want with. If you fully pay for it, it is YOUR COPY. Shutting down a server that is REQUIRED to play it is effectively destroying that copy. EULAs aren't going to do _shit_ for that. If you pay for a new car up front, some fine print on the paperwork saying the company can steal the engine in the middle of the night and sell it back to you isn't going to help them in court. Because they're intentionally destroying something YOU OWN, they aren't entitled to control over it anymore. There's nothing "service-y" about any game that doesn't have a subscription fee. If you _buy_ a game, a "license to play a game", or whatever, it's a good. You are legally entitled to be able to use that product until it either wears out on it's own (see: newer OS versions not running certain games) or you choose to be done with it. This "you only own a license they can do what they want" is just the industry narrative talking, because they can profit off of murdering games and then selling the same shit in a new package because certain players have nowhere else to go for that specific type of game.

Not even 3 companies, but most popular music is written by 3 _people_ who cover pretty much all the pop singers. Capitalism is all well and good when it promotes innovation and higher quality, but there is this point where it starts to spiral out of control. There is this point where companies have done the whole quality thing and are looking for even more profitable ways of selling their products. And that is where in the case of music we enter the realm of tunes that are not artistically created, but purposefully designed to be psychologically catchy. What a large part of the music industry does nowadays is simply create tunes that follow a certain recipe of catchiness and create a slightly different version of it for a new hit every time. We are now in the age where quality and profit no longer correlate. We're in the age of mass consumerism, wherein max profit is attained by making your washing machines break after a year or 5 instead of building them to last, wherein max profit is attained by creating a fashion trend each season and producing clothing in bulk to fit the fashion for short term wear instead of producing high quality sustainable clothing to fit a certain _style_ for longer time wear. It's a sad time we live in and video games are on the brink of entering into that next stage too now. We already had to deal with this yearly subscription for online multiplayer (because of this I only play single player games nowadays), but streaming services are truly going to be the killing blow.

throughout the years it's seemed like an arms race between news/corporate/adverts/politics and the satire of them, eg the satire taking news and making it punchier, sharper, more bombastic, the news taking that satire and learning lessons from it. It's almost like satire has turned out to be at best a bit shit, or at worst wildly unpredictable in its political effects, which is disappointing

@@Donnerbalken28 Having worked in tech for the last 4 years, that bit sounded exactly like every large big tech company I've ever seen or been acquired by. I've literally heard 3 exact same speeches from CEO's from larger companies that have acquired the start ups I've worked for which they then made us all redundant a couple months later to replace us with their own worker bee's because they pay them half the amount in salaries.

Nobody talks about how Vampires definitely would have a bit of a lisp, as exemplified here lol

It's actually pretty common to talk about it among vampire enthusiasts (expecially LARPers). Depending on the size of the prosthetic and wether it was custom made, you can adapt to it and speak without a lisp.

@medes5597 4 года назад

As the other commenter says, those with good/expensive prosthetics (especially if they have no real teeth) don't have any lisp. This lisp is because it's over his real teeth and thus larger because of it. IRL vampires wouldn't have a lisp.

I remember the Vampire in the IT Crowd having a pretty obvious lisp.

A New Hero121 ehh, i got the same fangs as ollie for halloween and i was able to speak without a lisp. it goes away the more your tongue gets used to a slightly different positioning when forming the “s” sound
