What is this, what happened to it, and what does it have to do with Harry Potter?

No way anyone thought that game was good. Enjoyable because it's so bad, yes. Good? Hell no. That goes for Detroit Become Human and that EYE-dun game too.

I played this game in 2020 during lockdown with my roommate and it was one of the funniest experience we had together. IT WAS SO BAD. But also very enterntaining! The story made no sense and all the characters were awful but goddamn we got super invested in the end (and it was shit lol).

Also the meme of that "JASON!!!" bug is still one of the most hilarious shit I've ever seen. I almost pissed myself the first time I saw it.

Meh, I find it understandable that people are uncertain about what various tags imply. And discussing it with others makes sense to get a feeling of how your potential tags would be interpreted.

What is currently bugging me much more is the endless “is it okay to…?” or “are these good stats?” I know people are just looking for reassurance or validation, which I can relate to, but it’s so tedious to see them again and again. Especially when they’re all answered almost identically.

I don't visit reddit so I'm only saying this from my personal experiences with tagging in my fandoms.
In regards to AO3, it's whatever you want it to be IMO. Every writer has their own ideas of what good tagging etiquette is, some think harder about it than others, and I've been going back and forth wondering how I like to tag (tag so people can filter out what they don't like OR tag so people can see if my fic has what they want? still figuring it out).

However, on Tumblr if you tag wrong (accidentally wrote a word wrong, creating a tag that hasn't been used before, breathe the wrong way, etc) it can create a glitch and when you post your fic it doesn't show up in ANY of the tags, your fic only shows up on the timelines of people who follow you who are scrolling through Tumblr live and see your fic. It makes it so that your fic is guaranteed not to be seen by anyone (unless you have a lot of followers).
This happened to me a couple times and the first time it happened I was so confused as to why my fic got almost zero likes (my fics at the time would get around 20-50 likes and reblogs within a week on average). It wasn't until maybe a week passed that I discovered about broken links/tags on Tumblr. Once I got the tags working right, my fic began showing up in the tagging lists but I get the feeling it probably would have gotten more likes/reblogs had it not glitched and had the broken links.
Broken tags on Tumblr suuuuuuuucks.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't go on the reddit, so I don't know exactly what they're complaining about, but I find tagging hard because I don't think of most of my fics in terms of tropes, and it can be hard to describe the mood of a fic sometimes if it's not either angsty or fluffy and if it doesn't have smut I can tag with sex acts. I've gotten a bit better at it over the years, but it took some staring at what other people tag and some searching of what tags already exist to get beyond 'post-canon, casefic, get-together, um... what else do people search on/want to know that isn't in the summary?'.

(It also doesn't help that AO3 wranglers have occasionally made some bonkers synning decisions that do make a few tags weird to use and that freeform canonization has been dead for half a decade at this point.)

I've lost track of how many podcasts I've given up on because the "interplay" was so much stupid filler. Like, I don't care about your personal lives and that thing you guys do together on the weekends that you want to chat about now and your inside jokes. Just because you're having a good time doesn't mean it's something other people want to be privy to. There are some podcasts that feel literally like being at a party where you know no one and you stand around for 3 hours (because podcasts like these are always also way too long) watching a bunch of people you don't know get shitty drunk and babble.

One, people love Tom Cruise, even normal non Scientologist people. I don't get it but they do.

Two, people are hungry for good old fashioned non-Marvel blockbusters, and they don't make hardly any of those now, so people will take it where they can get it.

People want to have a good time at the movies and not get buried under shitty CGI, ironic quips, and lore that you need to watch three seasons of streaming TV and read a fan wiki to keep up with.

I just can't get past how unlikable he is. I can't believe any woman would find him appealing even by the end of the movie.

It was a good show, and it showed a lot of dong, the world will be poorer for its absence.

Wasn't Roseanne kind of similar? There's just something about Trump that infects people's minds. Not sure if it's the blatant racism or the victim complex or what. Or maybe the people drawn to him weren't all that stable to begin with.

Right there with you. Although not a fan of Elf either (used to be, got sick of it). Die Hard, Krampus, Nightmare Before Christmas (both a Halloween and Christmas movie), Carol, and the Star Wars OT are my go-to.

I guess once you find a marketing formula that works, why take a risk by messing with it?

Personally I've always liked the idea of book subscription boxes but they never actually seem worth it to me. They seem to come with so much tat that I would never use and these days I'm really trying to stay away from having stuff for the sake of having stuff.
