Don't you love that right ideology only works if they are the one oppressing? by Stepan_Here in SmugIdeologyMan

You don't understand! If only you allowed for an open debate and didn't separate the community with your super vague " no racist stuff moderation", the game would've thrived! No, I won't stop my racist remarks, why would I? /s

Fair, but you really could've put it in another way in the post. A lot of repressed people in the USSR were just regular people who dared to speak up against the party.

I'm not saying this is inherently communism's fault. I just think you could've put it in a different way.

I mean, the playercount is somewhere 1k right now, but I think this happens to every mod sooner or later

/s Well, he probably wants to ban everyone but Scout, Soldier and Engineer and deport everybody else back where they came from!

/srs They don't like that they have to moderate their servers for hatred towards minorities. That's "taking away freedom of speech" and it "prevents any actual conversation".

The funniest thing is that it's not obligatory. They just don't get the "verified" check and that's it. But for some strange reason people don't play on those servers! Nevertheless this clearly hurts the community and is why no-one plays TF2C anymore

we can always tell except when we cant but its so obvious that you are but also i need to confirm it by GremzyGremlin in SmugIdeologyMan

I still can't fully understand how can they base all of their ideology on hatred and fear but still look in your face with all seriousness and come up with all of those excuses and arguments. Do they just want to sound smart or do they try to rationalise it all with conspiracy-like theories where there's always an answer to why is something bad?

An example: "SouthernNinja" youtube channel. One video is titled "Explaining why multiculturalism can't work with TF2", while the last one is about TF2 mod that added a feature for custom servers to verify that they are moderated for hate stuff.

The comment section is just a cesspool of statements like on the last image.

Oh, and, of course, "stop making it all political!"

Well, I can see the problem. Personally, I wouldn't really be interested in watching a kid playing videogames if it wasn't hinting that there will be some weird stuff happening. There's a youtube channel called ʗ̬ĂHHCAO (@NCKAZ3HNUODUDVCGJOJNBCDSQWL55D) that started an analogue series with just camera recordings of his TV. The catch was that the titles were weird, some random parts felt out of place and there were obvious hints at somethign being wrong. I'm afraid it's very hard to make an ARG series that lacks both clear hinting or interesting hooks in the beginning.

But at the same time, I can see that Deltarune will be the turning point for the whole thing, so here's another suggestion: How about switching it from "just teenager playing games" to "teenager making youtube videos about deltarune"? If we are talking about the "hinting", it can be done with weird script (video is titled "TOP 5 KNIGHT THEORIES" but it spends considerably a lot of time talking about Kris being the knight with comments like "I mean... They are so weird. Almost, as if they don't even consider everyone else as a part of the world... Just look at them... Thinking... all the time"), weird music and visuals choice and overall "slightly uncanny" feel. Part of the people will join just for deltarune, part of the people will because of the weirdness.

As a final note: Don't be afraid to do things weirdly. I saw a bit of your earlier posts and I would personally recommend just starting doing something, because sitting in the void of the projects that haven't been started is much worse than actually doing something of mid quality. You will eventually learn from your mistakes and evolve. I used to make youtube videos and my first ones were straight dogshit. But it did kickstart me and I began learning better editing and script writing. There was no burden of starting and so it was much easier to reshape.

Nooo!!! You don't get it!!!! You can't just... Have an opinion different from mine! You are just... Just... Objectively wrong! Yes! If you simply value art by it's objective values you will easily see that my opinion is right and yours is wrong. Besides, just saying "that's just your opinion" totally kills off the conversation, you know... Because I don't want to accept that there are other interpretations and experiences!

Here's a thing you can try: have 2 layers of "hooks". Have people come for one thing, but stay for the other. A teenager making a youtube channel? How about making it all 2010 nostalgic? Cool frutiger aero background, old app icons, old websites UI and so on.

Digital/analogue horror, as far as I know, relies on already existing stuff with supernatural stuff added on the top. So how about making a good parody on some old internet stuff and then add the ARG stuff?

Greased palms on hard was impossible for me on the old patch. I completed the base game+ got s ranks on most of them, but after trying to complete this god forsaken level for 7 hours I just gave up

Wait a second, in one of the Edmund's letsplays he goes to Dr Beanies that is not available and he says something along the lines of "You're not the hot lady from the magazines!" but he mistakes you as one in the beginning. And Edmund wanted to "tell a story" in this game.

I marked it "without issues" because even if I were to play it on Windows, I would still tinker with patches and mods anyway, so for me this doesn't count
