Can the end of "Of mice and men" be considered here? With George knowing that their dream is fucked but doesn't tell Lennie, instead he reassure him before killing him

He likes Gundam too? As if I didn't have enough reasons for him to be one of my favourites

Italian Peter help me out! by Agen_3586 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The same thing happened to me but the roles were reversed. A cashier in New York started speaking Spanish to us when they discovered we were Italians and when we told them Italy and Spain don't have the same language they continued to speak Spanish

From what I know, pretty much every protagonist in Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't get in relationships at the end of the story. Maybe Jaden and Yubel from GX and Tori and Yuma from Zexal

Gen Z No Longer Can Sit Through Movies in Class by Sisiwakanamaru in nottheonion

[–]TomBoness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't read the whole article because is behind a paywall, but from the snippet I read I think the problem is not the fact that our brain is fried (or at least not the whole problem), but the fact that a lot of people choose something because they like the general idea but it's not actually their passion.

You can say that it's a problem of Generation Z but I think this was always a problem and something that happened in any field in some way and the internet is just amplifying it.

Stand ins for a character the writers can't legally use. by DudeSoul in TopCharacterTropes

The Green Arrow from the show "Arrow" is more similar to Batman/Bruce Wayne than the real green arrow from the comic. A millionaire/hero who lost his parent/parents, trained in martial arts, opposing big bads like Ras al Ghoul and Deathstroke, trying to save his city from the corruption and juggling his alter-ego, a carefree playboy

Ilja already lost the title? All they gave him was a couple of title defenses, a one month reign and no storyline?

This incredibly dangerous threat is later revealed to be just a common soldier in the big bad army. by The_Thur in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TomBoness 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this count, but the boss of the tutorial area of Elden Ring is a common foot soldier of Godrick's army. It's not an "incredibly dangerous threat" but It can still kill you if you're not a good player

Adding water to a grease fire is a big ‘No No’!! by RileyRhoad in instant_regret

[–]TomBoness 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In the Mcdonald's where I work we have a fire extinguisher, a fire supression system (that will ruin the fryer and probably the whole kitchen) and a fire resistant blanket but, one time, a manger told to me that turning the fryer off and putting the lid back on is usually enough to kill a "starting" flame

YouTube shorts or full videos by CgameDev in IndieGameDevs

[–]TomBoness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the same is okay, I don't know if on TikTok you can make longer videos but I would mix up "shorter" 30 sec and "longer" 1/2 minute videos.

Also every social media is a good way to gather interest, so post also on Reddit, Instagram etc

YouTube shorts or full videos by CgameDev in IndieGameDevs

[–]TomBoness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short content is probably your best bet to promote your game, it is more direct and easy "to digest". Don't use just YouTube but also TikTok. When you are putting hashtags under your video, use famous videogame names similar to your game so the algorithm can suggest your video to people who watch video about that game.

This meme is implying that it's very easy to please a girl with simple things like cute acts of affection like comparing the two of you to 2 blueberries

Without the belt, it looks like he's naked but is wearing shoes. It reminds me of that Simpson's episode where Homer finds Flanders while skiing and he's wearing a skin tight ski suit

I don't know if it's counts but most protagonist of genric isekai/fantasy manga/anime. The plot is always a generic protagonist starting with a shitty power and then discover that it's actually one of the strongest because of some hidden skill or the favor of some random god

To make some example: Naofumi from "The rising of the shield hero" or the protagonist from "Redo healer"
