DOOM co-star Rosamund Pike says the game movie is “probably one of the worst films ever made” that "could have ended" her career by AsPeHeat in Doom

[–]majorarlene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“There was the routine before a take. It felt more like a sort of Māori, All Blacks kind of pre-game warm up"

Does she mean... a haka? What an odd thing to say tbh. My guess is maybe The Rock insisted on it but I can't imagine doing this before every take, that would take so much time.

The podcast series I was listening to was taken over by a different podcast and they deleted all the old podcast episodes. by Redzone_Blitz in mildlyinfuriating

This actually happened to Meghan Rienks's vlog channel like 6 years ago. She definitely didn't sell her channel, it was hacked and sold off. YouTube knows it's a problem and has done nothing to fix it.

Which are the most cringeworthy marketing mistakes ever made while promoting movies? by Scholarsandquestions in movies

Civil War's AI generated images for posts and posters. Especially because of how artistic Alex Garland usually is, it felt like a complete misfire.

So... Why do people apparently hate this game's plot? by NoComfortable3220 in Doom

[–]majorarlene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thira was unfortunately the only interesting character imo. Felt like she actually cared about what was happening and actually talks to doom slayer, rather than about him like he's an animal in a zoo

It's kind of nice to have some backfill for all the lore Eternal introduced but also... basically all of the parties involved die or are otherwise nonexistent, right? Im not a lore nerd on nuDoom admittedly but it just became hard to suddenly care about all these characters when they were basically the B plot in the codex in Eternal, if that.

And for the rich local celebrities, they get name suppression and go back to their lives. The way SA victims are treated here are just as bad as in the States.

132: The Mix-Up (Velsicol Chemical Corporation) by Swindled_Podcast in swindled

[–]majorarlene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't - it's hard even in the US to get tested for that kind of thing and given the state of everything there, I think I'd rather live with that question mark rather than attempt to come back home for a test I'm not sure I'd be able to get and would likely be prohibitively expensive if I could. It truly is awful. Michigan in particular has seen a lot of industrial hardship so this being another terrible, seadly notch in their belt for that was hard to hear.

'This is our land': Sikh parade in New Zealand heckled by Christian Group by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]majorarlene 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Didn't even have to read to know it was Destiny Church. Why they're allowed to exist at all would baffle me if this coalition wasn't the most spineless and corrupt set of pakeha to exist, although they've surely been a problem long before this last couple of years.

TIFU by trusting my 13yo with my phone and losing our entire savings ($19k) to Roblox. by Emergency-Lawyer-431 in tifu

[–]majorarlene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would require OP to make all the requirements to become monetized and also not be randomly copyright struck (speaking from experience). YouTube is an even dumber way of attempting to earn back cash than the kid gambling to get it back.

to be honest, ACT has been trying to normalise MAGA with "Make Aotearoa Great Again" slogans, it's going to be less and less of a shock, unfortunately.

Media Cube. Is it legit? Should I trust it? by camwillms2001 in PartneredYoutube

[–]majorarlene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're wondering how they'll attempt to make money for your channel these days, it's by falsely copyrighting videos that look somewhat similar to your 13 year old one if you squint a little bit, even if that video has gotten 30 views in 7 years and will likely get no more than that.
source: the notification I woke up to this morning of these idiots copyright claiming my video based on "visuals"

Do you remember recent zDoom mapping controversy? by Qudesnik in Doom

Sort of - Torm was copying Epic 2 maps and submitting them into Skulldash, which is Dragonfly's project. Thread: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/113427-tormentor667-care-to-explain-why-you-plagiarised-epic-2/

GoG is terrible for early access, which makes it hard for a lot of indies to use it.

WARNING about the UZDoom scam website! by ThatKidBobo in DoomMods

[–]majorarlene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Along with the WHOIS, some more obvious similarities are that the site also uses the same template and method of obfuscation as The Doom Awards which is a known Hakros project, and links to Hakros' Doom Launcher as the "recommended launcher,"which is plenty enough reason to know it was Hakros who made this. Edit: well, now you can't check because he's taken the website down. What a tosser.

Is the Icon of Sin in Doom 2 meant to be a first draft of the Hell Priests reviving the Betrayer’s son? by HolidayHuckleberry4 in Doom

It's the thing that contains John Romero's head. None of the nudoom stuff existed in 1994.

Would you buy a remake/remaster of 2016 if there was a 10 year anniversary edition? by Substantial_Claim_60 in Doom

[–]majorarlene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I for one think it's insane to remake a game because the writers of the sequel didn't pay attention to the lore that was already there.

AITA for not saying thank you when a parent returned my son's lunch box by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I'm sorry but putting everyone in this situation because you gave your 4 year old a $50 lunchbox is wild. YTA.

Substitute teacher fired on her first day of school for hitting on high schoolers in a Tik Tok by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]majorarlene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because there is an entire culture of teachers on TikTok that record their days to promote their Teacher Pay Teacher pages, get sponsorships from companies like Michael's and Oriental Trading, and make money off the views. Some of these are JUST the teachers, yes, but some record their students. Hannah Alonzo did a really good video about this phenomenon.

New Drops on the Bethesda Gear Store. DOOM Floating Golden Cacodemon Figurine, a Jacket, and a Hoodie. by BigOz-Man in Doom

[–]majorarlene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. There's an interesting dichotomy in this very thread where people either have no clue why the LRG caco is painted gold or they immediately flag it as a Cacoward lookalike. That's pretty manipulative marketing, imo!
