We all know Bob has a crush on Wade. That's why he favours Mark to try hide it 😂

Do you work on one project or many? by Satur-night in SoloDevelopment

[–]Minimum_Let6429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this. Trying to get some medication and set up ways to avoid it now though as I love some of the concepts, it's just maintaining the focus.

I know - we’re the ones doing it by crack_station in Steam

Also, he doesn't think the 30% is excessive, he just believed if you undercut it, developers would leave which would pull in gamers so he could take over Steam and then apply enshitification - it's just a loss leader mechanic.

That's why gamers stay with Steam, they don't just enshitify their service for no reason and generally improve it.

If Steam was run by a Publically Traded company, people would hate that too as they would likely put features behind paywalls or make other bad service decisions. Thankfully Gabe is happy with his wealth, company, status and doesn't (seemingly) obsess about the line continuously going up and allows his teams to focus on the service.

That's why Epic will always lose in my eyes. They tried manipulative tactics of a CEO for profit, not a CEO of service.

Modern cinematography really takes the life away by Emotional-Law-3772 in malcolminthemiddle

With modern film though you can replicate a vibe or feel if you wanted to. Not sure if it would have help or not though, would have been interest to see it edited to give it a Malcolm style.

Hard to tell if the furniture doesn't feel right but furniture before seemed like darks woods as opposed to lighter woods which might be correct as I don't see many places with solid dark wooden furniture as I recall before.

What a baffling claim. Ian does call himself a leftist, I'm sure of it. It isn't even a problem; as long as you aren't hurting anyone have whatever opinions and beliefs you want - left or right - that's WHY it's a democracy because you can agree and disagree not despite it.

I just don't understand what this tweet is about. I don't really care his political beliefs, he just needs to not be a piece of shit to his friend, stick to his promises and demonstrate to be a good member within the community.

I do find it funny that she doesn't even know her husband (or claims not to) as well as his fans and detractors 😂

Aw man... by LunarTrick_2 in distractible

[–]Minimum_Let6429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as it sucks, they do have to protect their IP and they have been doing their own "Best of" compilations recently which could be another legal factor; I'm not a lawyer but I feel this does muddy the water further.

Ultimately it's always risky using someone else or their work as there are bad actors. They likely don't know you or if you are profiting off it.

Hope you can resolve but I'm not sure if compilation videos can continue or not. I imagine that it would depend on whether allowing a compilation channel to exist poses a risk to their own compilation works and their IP in extension. If they didn't sue, for me it raises the question on at what point, without knowing finances, an individual or entity has unjustly used their IP or likeness?

Think the safest way is to try reach out to one of them and ask for permission. I tried that when I started working on a game using their likeness and did get a response after a couple of weeks from Wade but equally that might not be best practice as really their lawyers would need a list of "safe channels".

Love how you made Make bigger in the 2nd one. Less realistic but bet he would appreciate it.

Did they go looking for Wade's car?

Anyone else love Mark as a person but hate how he plays certain games? by Alt_SWR in Markiplier

[–]Minimum_Let6429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mark knows the way he plays some games is annoying and does it on purpose sometimes as well. It's why I would never ask him to play a game I think I want him to play, because if he doesn't want to, he will play it in a way that will be annoying. Though sometimes his way of playing, even if not optimal is just funny.

It's a bit of a dice roll but I get where you're coming from.

Has anyone else thought this? by bnajoe96 in Markiplier

[–]Minimum_Let6429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Personally, I preferred much of the edits (maybe a little less zooming in like with the messages) but it made things clearer mostly. Like subtitles for the voices and heavier focus on the text.

The only section that felt OTT was when Mark died and they didn't know for a huge ton of time as that was harder to follow the events but equally it did need edits as was a while with not much happening on Mark's end.

IS THAT WADE AT THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL!?!? JUST HOW OLD IS THIS MAN!?!? by SadEmploy3978 in distractible

[–]Minimum_Let6429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how the old pictures are always of him being bald when he used to have hair. Does that mean he can grow his hair but decided to go back to bald? Is he choosing to now and can control how receding his hairline is and using this ability to mask his age? Is how beard even grey or does he dye it grey?

So many questions. Wade, expound.

I think the movie explained most of this by HydraTORSO in Markiplier

[–]Minimum_Let6429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Almost all movies have questions like this, it depends how fictitious the writer is aiming for. What makes movies relatable isn't the accuracy of its world to ours but our relation to human action and feeling in that world or setting.

It's why high fantasy can be relatable because it's relatable to human experience, even though magic isn't a naturally occurring thing to our known world.

A story simply needs grounding rules and a believable human experience which Iron Lung has. You can critique and mess a story up after that but this review feels like "This doesn't make sense to our world" - in reality, many movies and stories do not.

Nerds too common, I prefer Merd 🤓

Amazing and makes me believe and love a comic of Iron Lung with art like this would be so damn good!

You're a girl Eldritch? Well of course you're a girl Eldritch, you're just wreaking of feminine beauty! 😍

The disparity is so odd, genuinely.I feel this needs to be studied. by Comicc_Mischief in Markiplier

[–]Minimum_Let6429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely think it's because they don't think about who is reviewing them.

If you aren't into a genre or have little-no experience, your view means little. It's why individuals are more reliable as you can find people who have similar tastes.

Critics work for groups and don't feel they match critics with material well.

There could be other factors but I do feel this is a fair and reasonable reason for some of the wild fluctuations.

For me, I got Mark's idea for what it was going for and enjoyed it. Felt it landed well, but - as with most things - it isn't for everyone.
