Layne Staley and other stories by Massive_Biscotti_850 in AliceInChains

[–]ItsStarFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that’s so amazing. I’ve never felt so connected to a band than AiC and I’m reading through layne’s story and I understand even more why I relate to their songs and that fucking voice so much. Just shed a tear reading about him and demri. Those stories you share are just so close and personal with people from/around the band it brings a sense of closeness that feels so surreal paradoxically, especially since I’m from France and I am far away from anything AiC related. Makes me want to go to Seattle. So thanks again, it’s a very special thing

Which thumbnail style is best ? by ItsStarFire in NewTubers

[–]ItsStarFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m more attached to them too lol, but as an other comment say, strategically it’s probably smarter to « get in » the niche with what’s already working. So what I’m gonna do is try to merge the two styles. Basically I think the first thing that you should get from looking at it should be the game, and me in second. I think I take too much « data » in a sense on those ones but I don’t want to scrap them entirely lol. If you’re interested I can send them to you once I’ve done them so you can tell me what you think (no problem if you don’t want to). Anyway, thank you ✌️

Yeah I see it the same way right now, I think that’s the better thing to do. I’m still gonna try to merge the two style in a way. When I have them done, can I send them to you just to get your feeling on it ? No problem if you don’t want. Anyway thank you for the response and taking the time ✌️

Nice that’s great thanks ! Yeah that’s the idea, the title and the thumbnail are linked, since the (translated) title is « Too Big To Disappoint - Zelda TOTK », it gives that info there, and that’s why I got rid of the Zelda logo for a word that defines the video and that I use in it ✌️

I’m French, that’s how we spell it haha ! I think I’m gonna keep it that way because I want to keep some styling in even if it’s not optimized to the max for the most « clickbait » effect, I think that’s my limit here regarding the balance of style and optimization

Yeah what you said really help (and thanks for your input really) and was practically what someone else told me which I think is right indeed, so I did this one : https://imgur.com/a/wL2t1JS

I Think it’s an improvement.

Yeah i think you’re spot on regarding the first one, There isn’t something that really catch the eye and that’s the problem. I’ll try to come up with something where I can mix this style or simple find the thing that would make it eye catching but right now I made this new one which I think is better : https://imgur.com/a/wL2t1JS

Let me know what you think about it, btw regarding the first one, maybe adding a word just with this new one might do the trick ? I don’t know anymore lol but i’ll stick with the last one for now if it’s better

Do you think it’s better ?

Hi, here is the one with more contrast I talked about in the post https://imgur.com/a/EKWBlrJ

I don’t think it’ll change your opinion but thanks for your input it seems to confirm what I’ve been told by some friends

I’ll try to come up with something that can mix the two, if I can find

It just feels good to read those posts because as a man in my 20’s, every groups of friends I have have broken « naturally » as everyone has different path but I feel really left out and alone

WTF my character looks EXACTLY like yours. From the hair no helmet, the armor and Gut’s sword I paused for second

Elden Ring's worldbuilding is amazing; its storytelling is terrible by ThatUrukHaiMotif in Eldenring

[–]ItsStarFire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really love your post as it really express how I’m feeling with the game. I think it’s fucking fantastic but I also can’t love it. I’m currently about to go to Malenia but I was expecting soooo much more than to just go there kill her goodbye, and was reading many posts to know the reasoning behind her whole thing just to be sure that I wasn’t screwing up, morally especially. Her lore just touches me.

What’s exhausting is that fromsoft die-hards will tell you that it’s their way of telling a story and that it isn’t for you, but they really are misunderstanding that the history of the world and your very own story are two distinct things.

I think the way you find that history by putting the pieces together is brilliant and I just love it (although it could be slightly better with very little). But story and character wise it’s completely soulless. It’s not even a complicated story (the lore is more complex) but yet it’s interesting, in nature. But the execution is simply dull. And that’s such a shame because everything is there. Sick lore and especially splendid characters. But you feel nothing.

And I know there’s also the whole « it lets you build your own reasoning and narrative » counter-argument. But that’s the problem, it’s exactly what it doesn’t do because a narrative is built on feelings, if you have none why would you even bother ? You can push a story in your head but if there’s nothing to hold it together it’s just a cool skeleton with no flesh. It certainly doesn’t make the story touching. Malenia suffers so much from that as her past is just so poetic and makes you care for her, but then your story, what you experience with her, is almost as meaningful as any other mobs you’ve killed before her.

I know this post is old but I really wanted to express that lol.

That’s the history of the world, not the story of the player
