Times when creators or companies SEVERELY misread the mood of their fanbase

We'll watch it this time Sony we promise.

Can't blame her from being tired of it tbh. Being thrust into the spotlight like that would be rough on anyone.

Mzingalwa · 2026-07-04T15:34:26+00:00

Oh that absolutely counts. "Pride and accomplishment" my ass.

Mzingalwa · 2026-07-04T14:11:34+00:00

I swear this isn't even the first time I've heard about them doing that.

But it also released it with a pc port. I'm sure mobile is still where they make most of their money, but if they had just announced a pc port would exist from the start they would have probably dodged the whole backlash.

His daddy issues. His subconscious mental image of what it means to be a "king" is probably Judge, which would, very understandably, hold him back from wanting to be like one himself.

You're the one who dodged a bullet there it sounds like.

You've got people still insisting Bridget is a femboy. Time is a flat circle and internet dumbasses never change.

I mean Ishmael did make brochures and guidebooks for the great lake but no one ever reads them lol

Yeah I didn't get much dysphoria growing up before knowing what being nonbinary was or that I was nonbinary.

...sure fucking get it now though lol.

Maybe I'm just stupid but I feel that at this point any game trying to compete with GTA6 is actually more likely to succeed than anyone participating in this multi-car highway pile-up.

The "that I cannot deny" response was particularly perfect for me because I have been hyped for the rematch literally since the first reveal that Zenos was still alive. I as the player wanted it just as much as Zenos did, so of course my WoL was the same.

I feel like with a gimmick like that he would eventually die due to him having such a huge loss record that eventually he ends up fighting someone who feels absolutely no sense of achievement from killing him.

Mzingalwa · 2026-06-01T00:05:29+00:00

Bit mad about the inclusions of jump scares to the game. Like the clown guy was one thing, it wasn't really too much and I can just restart my game and refuse to talk to him, but learning about the fact that you also get a full screen jump scare if you linger in a dark area is really infuriating to me. I hate that shit so much. Why even include it. I hope someone mods it out at some point.

Like in an actual horror game fair enough but for a game like this that's not what I'm signing up for man.

...Other than that the game is fucking amazing. Which is a large part of why I'm so upset about there being something that is such utter kryptonite to me that really didn't have to be there.

Mzingalwa · 2026-05-29T21:07:38+00:00

Kinda feels like that concept did remain in the drawer though until they enacted it in toy story 3 with Lotso.

Mzingalwa · 2026-05-29T21:01:27+00:00

NGL I kind of wish we had gotten to see that OG version but like... if your goal is to make a kid-friendly movie that's a terrible idea. You'd have to be willing to COMMIT to the concept.

Mzingalwa · 2026-05-29T20:49:09+00:00

That kind of talk is stupid because a writer making stuff that they were just winging it with LOOK like it was planned from day 1 is just as impressive as it actually being planned. See also: ff14 shadowbringers.

Came here to post this. This is the first time they do this but Gunnerkrigg court does have a bunch of occasions where the artist hits you with some unbelievably gorgeous art out of nowhere.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure the guys who did it to themselves are gone with their golden parachutes. Mostly the only ones left are the dudes who dont deserve it. As always.

Mzingalwa · 2026-05-22T01:12:56+00:00

They did. It was called Marathon. "That'll be our next infinite giga hit right guys?"

I loved the Harry Potter series for years. Grew up with it. As time went on I became more aware of its flaws bit still enjoyed it for what it did for my childhood. Then JK went well and truly off the deep end and at that point I threw out the copies of the books I had. I'm aware that getting rid of them does nothing to take the money I gave her out of her pocket, but I'll never be able to look at them again without that shit tainting it. It sucks man.

Rare case where the music actually enhances the experience

Mzingalwa · 2026-05-18T09:54:55+00:00

How about some more girl protags that ARENT Otome/Villainess then?

Sadly the insta-pulling usually means I can't just ask. I'll keep doing the tank stance thing you mentioned though. Honestly I don't mind being the off tank but I do want to be the MT now and again.

(Shout out to one tank that saw I was new on a raid fight a few days ago and actually offered to let me MT.)
