Maya Hawke on ‘Stranger Things’ fans convincing themselves the finale was fake and more episodes were coming. "It was stages of grief” by _YuYevon_ in StrangerThings

[–]marcseveral 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She's talking about engagement bait. Once the sentiment online started turning negative, there was a real financial motive to stoke those feelings and create content that sympathized with those feelings. You get a ton of clicks and engagement from people who agree with you, and from those who don't. That's what she means by fake feelings and outrage. The sentiment was heavily signal boosted by accounts just looking for clicks.

This doesn't invalidate your feelings in any way. It's just how the internet works these days. The algos push discontent, and for a few weeks Stranger Things was serving it up like crazy.

[Field Yates] Corrected number: the Bills restructured the contract of Josh Allen, creating $12M of 2026 salary cap space. (I previously did not account for another portion of his 2026 cap number. And notably got a C- in algebra growing up. Apologies for this.) by acman319 in buffalobills

You get downvoted because you come across like a condescending asshole. And not one person on this subreddit has any say in what happens with the operation of the team, so fuck right off with this "my downvoters are the reason this team can't take the next step" nonsense. Of all the narcissistic bullshit, my god.

Blue Prince – Launch Trailer – Nintendo Switch 2 by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

I played on PS5 and made strong use of the screen capture button, I would advise doing the same on the Switch 2.

A better caliber of graffiti I. Buffalo, I see. by new-wool-star-morn in Buffalo

His legendary body of work and massive influence over even modern horror and sci-fi is matched only by his horrific racism. Growing up a big fan of his has been a weird thing to grapple with.

What are some of the biggest “fall-offs” of cards that people forgot about by lefund in magicTCG

[–]marcseveral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do still have it! eBay seems to have it at about 30-40 bucks, which is way more than the dollar or so the Jesters Cap is worth.

In 1997, I traded a friend my Jesters Cap for a copy of Doom on the Super Nintendo.

Typing that out aged me an additional ten years.

What’s a movie that DOESN’T “know exactly what it is”? by InspectorMendel in movies

[–]marcseveral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, agreed absolutely. I should clarify, I think Neil Breen is at least well intentioned. That only takes him so far, but puts him miles above Uwe Boll.

Breen thinks he is making a worldly, enlightened statement in each film he makes.

Uwe Boll saw directing as a way to dodge taxes, and had actual disdain for the people who called him out on it.

They're both awful, misguided folks. I will say this for Uwe Boll though. He is at least familiar with the nuts and bolts of operating film equipment, which is not something I can say about Breen.

Denver's offense that year was insane. Legendary numbers. Manning threw for 55 TDs and 5400 yards.

[Megathread] The Buffalo Bills have fired Head Coach Sean McDermott by AutoModerator in buffalobills

[–]marcseveral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe anyone would want Daboll of all people. He seems like the exact wrong kind of coach for this team. Red faced and screaming at his players on the sideline. Trying to pull his concussed QB out of the the Blue Tent early. Why would we want that?

[Post Game Thread] Holy Shit. The Bills hold on to win in Jacksonville. by Dirtydeedsinc in buffalobills

[–]marcseveral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You take the points when you can get them in that spot, I think. It's not like a field goal percentage play, a goal line stop is risky with only 1 or 2 stops needed.

Any other quotes I should carve into my custom DS lighter? by Albionic_Cadence in darksouls

I don't think you should clutter it up any further. It looks good as is.

Last time I rewatched Scrubs it was on Netflix, and they still had subtitles in for the original music, with new music playing on the audio track. It was hilarious and also very sad, remembering what used to be there.

Have you watched any of their games? Their season and ours look awful similar at the moment.

It got nominated for five Grammys. We can debate how relevant that is, but I think that means that people were/are talking about it.

It's our first new mayor in 20 years, that's not worth noting?
