Wreck it Ralph 2 and Lego Movie 2, those trailers wounded one deeply.
Mortal Engines just...oh my god, that was torture.
-
Okay on the topic of "posts I've done I think are good"
I had to tweet that old pinned tweet of mine, on my new private twitter.
Just for...posterity, as such.
It was very well recieved after all (even if the context might be forgotten these days)

@maiyannah
It's horrific ain't it.
...One mightn't think trailers could get worse.
*whispers* Mortal Engines.

@maiyannah
I don't have too much stake either way cos I...don't really pay any attention to Marvel Comics. I'm just enough of a -general- 'comics fan' to have kept track of this.
I just find the strange fan reaction to this development...ridiculous really. Everyone found out he was very obviously being controlled. So everyone agreed "no one trust what comes out of his accounts"
...His accounts say he's definitely totally fine now guys.
And...everyone believes it.
This...baffles me.
Love, like, dislike, hate, whatever the feelings. I don't understand the logic, of such a huge collective of people, going...basically overnight, from "his account is controlled and always lying" to "his account said he's fine now so he's fine now"
-Especially- with the tweeting photos saying they're recently taken when they're from years ago, thing. Cos that's been happening -after- his acount said he was all okay now.
-
Seriously, it went from "no one trust what Stan Lee tweets cos he's not in control" (which, he genuinely seemingly wasn't)
To "Stan Lee tweeted he's back in control, and thanked the fans, so he MUST be!"
...Those trains of thought don't quite work together, surely?

It's always sorta...there's a disconnect of sorts for me? I'm trying to think of how to explain.
The only times I ever see Itch mentioned is either, discussions like this, saying how it's unfiltered nature is bad.
Or, ...when someone releases a game on it and has to spend ages spamming about it because barely anyone aside from other indie devs, uses Itch.
So it...Itch seems propped up, for the most part, by the very people who create and put games on there, and that...kinda defeats the point to me.
-
@maiyannah
Yeah, so you have...Steam, which as noted, essentially just does shit then dares you to leave.
GoG which does shit then dares you to go back to Steam if you don't like it.
And Itch.Io which just kinda...exists, and is only ever really mentioned in the hipster indie circles most of the time.
-
@maiyannah
(Side note I like the ! it makes you seem excited to know the precise word for the situation :3)
Yeah, with a pure monopoly, you get the little niche ones springing up. Don't usually do all that well but at the least they're viable enough if you -really- hate the main one.
With a duopoly you mention. It's pushed into "huge one vs big but not quite as big one" so everyone is fucked. They act just as bad as eachother, and if you don't like one, rather than having that potential small timer, you get funnelled into "go to the other one."
In this case I suppose there's technically others? But the biggest I can think of after Steam and GoG is Itch.Io and ...it's pretty awful because it''s purely indie and somehow, god knows how, less filtered than even Steam is.
-
@maiyannah
Valve just...repeatedly abuse the fact that Steam...doesn't really have viable competitors. So they're in that position of calling peoples bluff, they do shitty stuff then go "what? you gonna just stop using Steam?"
Most people aren't, and if they do...they usually end up with GoG, which does the same calling bluff, but in reverse. They do shitty stuff then go "what? you gonna just go back to Steam?"

@maiyannah
hehe
blanket cuddles then
-
@maiyannah
...I think that's us two.
...Well I'm in favour!
-
@maiyannah
Well, lemme check my lineup of activities...
We've got...me giving you cuddles...me giving you more cuddles...me giving you naked cuddles...me giving you 'naked cuddles' then...back to me giving you cuddles...this seems to loop.
Seems to work! ...Maybe all the cuddles should be naked ones tho, I'll perhaps revise that bit.
-
@maiyannah
Certainly hope so yes!
Cuddles will always be given, of course.
-
@maiyannah
:o So...I love you...and you love me...that makes us both happy. Wonderful!
-
Gods I love sweet @maiyannah

Things being announced...or more trailers being released just before E3, is always a bit odd to me.
I'd assume they'd get a -lot- more publicity if they were up there at E3, and oftentimes...they're linked with companies that mean there's not really reason why they couldn't be.

Avalanche releasing new self publised game in 2019.
"Experience an explosive game of cat and mouse set in a vast open world. In this reimagining of 1980’s Sweden hostile machines have invaded the serene countryside, and you need to fight back!
Go it alone, or team-up with up to three of your friends in seamless co-op multiplayer. By utilizing battle tested guerilla tactics, you’ll be able to lure, cripple, or destroy enemies in intense, creative sandbox skirmishes.
Generation Zero will be coming on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One in 2019."
Sounds vaguely interesting yet...there's something about it that pulses the idea of 'this will end up really generic' so I dunno.
Plus the fair to mention, having faith in Avalanche or not.

On the topic of Hitman 2, apparently this one won't be episodic which is interesting to me.
On the one hand, makes sense, they got a lot of backlash for that.
On the other hand, most of the people I've heard pick it up. Appreciated the detail put into each map, and how they could properly delve into all of it over time, due to the way the releases worked.
It came across as something the general base responded badly to (cos episodic games these days only really apply to a certain subset) but those who picked it up, ended up appreciating it. Hence me finding the apparent choice for 2 not to be, interesting.
-
People seem to have 100% hyped themselves up and believed without a doubt that the WB games 'surprise' announcement wouldn't be Hitman 2, despite all the signs towards it, and are now very angry.
I...dunno what to tell you. Not every announcement is gonna be what you precisely want, and if you consciously ignored all the signs and mentions it'd very deeply likely be Hitman 2, just to keep believing in your theory, that's on you.
