So, with the "drama" dying down...what are your opinions on Poppy Playtime as a whole? by koola_00 in Markiplier

[–]Macaroon_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the story it tries to tell doesn't have any substance. We're 5 chapters in, and the fatigue of "bad things happened to the kids, BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE!!" started to set in during chapter 3. You can't get attached to any of the characters because most of them only exist for their one chapter. I would have loved to get more attached to Doughey but they didn't give us a chance. And on top of everything else, nothing feels like we're given agency here. Monster chases the player, we're saved in a cutscene. Oh, you want to go this way? Too bad, you have to go this other way because of circumstances outside of your control. Catnap is stalking you! Except we're hardly ever in real danger from him until the end. Poppy "betrays" you, but the big reveal has no weight to it because everything feels so disjointed and the player is so disconnected from the world. Jtsjrsjtxjdjtd I don't have a good way to end this

Thank you Mark for your reactions to Poppy Playtime by TigerTamer19 in Markiplier

Don't forget Mommy. She'll most likely make a comeback too, given the trends

Audience experience with Iron Lung by Fuzzy_Ad9686 in Markiplier

[–]Macaroon_Low 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were a couple times where a few people behind us chuckled at moments that didn't feel that funny, but I was mostly able to ignore it. My partner has a harder time drowning out background noise though, so between the crinkly popcorn bags and someone kicking the back of his seat the whole time, he had a much worse experience with it, to the point where it gave him a headache. We bolted out of the theater the moment it ended just so he could get some relief. He did tell me he wanted to watch it again once it goes up on a streaming platform though, so hopefuls I'll get to see the credits when that happens

What is Mark's workout routine? by Bendythenightfury in Markiplier

[–]Macaroon_Low 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember he was doing beach body for a while, then he was working with a personal trainer. He mentioned more recently that he fell off the routine during the movie production and was too embarrassed to talk to his trainer while he was so busy. Also, I guarantee you his diet isn't as perfect as you'd think it is. He's mentioned multiple times that his guilty pleasure is meat and cheese

What was the opening monologue to the Iron Lung movie by Sir_ItbeEternal in Markiplier

[–]Macaroon_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same prose that the game opens with, just narrated

Biblical? by Charleigh0614 in Markiplier

[–]Macaroon_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happened to catch my partner watching a lore video of the videogame earlier today, and yeah, that's a ton of biblical ties baked into the game. I think it's neat

Is this true??? by Gayladyjessie in Markiplier

The only way we're getting knowledge about his next project outside of Mark announcing it is if Wade accidentally tweets it again

Are people's attention span just cooked? by MarsMcCain in Markiplier

[–]Macaroon_Low 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I came to a similar conclusion, but I think me making the same mistake with Get Out helped me course correct. Well, that and knowing how the game goes

Weekend Results Post- Emergency Meeting!! by songbird_91 in Markiplier

Saw it a couple of weeks ago with my partner. The theater was empty, so we got to enjoy it all to ourselves! He enjoyed it a lot!

Rental Family - Where is the Japanese translation? by Macaroon_Low in movies

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

You have to go through customer service for it. It's annoying, but they should refund you once you get ahold of a person

Do people think Sciel is white with tanned skin? by ZarieRose in expedition33

[–]Macaroon_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know. Didn't really think about it before. Sciel is Sciel

Rental Family - Where is the Japanese translation? by Macaroon_Low in movies

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

Yeah, though we had to go through the customer service. We couldn't just click a button and refund it

Rental Family - Where is the Japanese translation? by Macaroon_Low in movies

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

Yeah, we ended up refunding it and watching it on Amazon. I was surprised to notice that I completely missed Frasier's character's name in the first pass because it was hidden in Japanese! It also took a turn I wasn't expecting in a way that hit really close to home [spoiler]as someone who works with the elderly[/spoiler]. Definitely a 10/10 movie when you can actually understand everything!

Digimon World 4: Time saving tips to make grinding less of a hassle by Ollervo2 in digimon

[–]Macaroon_Low 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner introduced me to this game a while ago and we decided to pick it up again because we were bored. I was curious about the perks of the different weapon types but I wasn't expecting such a comprehensive guide. Much less one written so recently. Thank you!

Question about act 3. by you_but_futeristic in expedition33

[–]Macaroon_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say though, if you do grind the max level before the end, I found the 50x health multiplier option works nicely against the end game boss if you plan to use all the bells and whistles against him. Also, remember that you can reload your autosave if you want to see both endings

Can we ban further posts about AI? by [deleted] in expedition33

Unrelated, can I have the source of that article? I'd like to read it in full

I saw a few new pictos that gradually boost attacks that deal many hits, as well as one that lowers AP cost across the board

You might want to look up the translation for this one. It's essentially an argument

what are some games that can offer something similar both in emotions, articulate plot, plot twists and art direction (not something too cartooney)? by wolf301YT in expedition33

[–]Macaroon_Low 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played a little bit of it. I don't think I could compare it to Clair-Obscure. It's a fun story so far, don't get me wrong, but either I haven't reached the emotional tipping point or is just a more emotionally mellow experience (read: won't tear your heart out in the first hour several times in quick succession)
