Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice. Just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

Me neither, OP. No interest whatsoever. There are a lot of comedies I haven't seen really.

This entire secret is a shining example of "it is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled."

You sound like a generally smart person, OP. Having done this doesn't make you a stupid person or a person with no self control, it just makes you someone who was at one point emotionally/psychologically vulnerable. And everyone, in the long-enough-run, has a moment of emotional/psychological vulnerability.

Gacha games and shit like this are called predatory because its exactly people in those moments that they're waiting to jump on and suck dry, which they do, a lot. They know it, of course. Catching "whales" and waiting patiently to catch them is their entire business model.

This isn't to say gacha games can't be good games or fun game or totally safe to play as long as you stay calm and rational all the time or have the patience to trudge through f2p. But to deny that the system is lurking there, all the time, luring people with shiny colors and flashing lights and 8000% made up value promos just waiting for every single one of its players to have a moment of weakness, is being willfully blind.

I hope you find something that makes you happy again, and I hope it's not another gacha.

Too be fair, the moral justifications were already there. They just got worse when people forgot they're allowed to dislike things that aren't Evil.

Is the Philip Qast anon still around?

I was watching reruns of Midsomer Murders on Youtube when I saw his name in the credits and thought of you! Here's the episode link. He first appears about 7 minutes in, riding one of those motorbikes with the side car:

Tv shows with best theme or credits

[philstar22]

What tv shows have the best theme song/tune? What tv shows have the best opening credits?

recently bought something shilled by one of the youtube content creators i watch. first time i've done that. felt weird.

tbf the thing i bought was something id already been looking at anyway, and the youtuber's ad was just a reminder and a convenient discount code that supports their channel, so win-win.

still felt weird though.

I don't think the more recent MCU movies have reduced in quality at all. I just think that a large portion of the audience, including reviewers, are MCU-fatigued and that is coloring their reviews.

+1

People used to accuse others of wanting to fuck their siblings if they shipped incest, were abusers or rape apologists for shipping something very fucked up, etc. Social media as it is amplifies those voices sure, but the idea that it was never like this is very weird to me as an m/m and f/f shipper of old who used to be told I was going to hell for 'sinning' with my gay ships in the early 2000's. And that isn't getting into if they found I out I was actually gay, hooo boy got banned from a het-ship comm because of that. But it was a pure, non-toxic time in fandom, for sure. :)))))

Oof, OP, that's a lot. For what it's worth, the whole gacha profit model absolutely does rely on the use of frustration to manipulate players. If they don't weaponize frustration like that (and some gachas actually don't) they're leaving money on the table and usually don't last very long because they're not turning a tidy enough profit. Most gacha I've played have resulted in me ragequitting after some difficult battle left me in tears (again, that frustration, which the game was hoping would make me spend). If I ever find myself in that situation of crying over a gacha game, I delete the app and never look back. That really sucks what happened to you. At the same time, I'm glad you've reached that point with Genshin Impact.

People talk as if the EU was this amazing, perfect thing. Nope. It had good and bad same as the new movies. The EU also stupidly brought back Palpatine at one point, and it also had Boba Fett survive the sarlacc. So the EU had major flaws too.

All I want from the future is for all historical records of the late 20thC to be lost except for the lyrics of Don McLean's "American Pie" lets see how future archaeologists explain history from that. [fandom is music and archeology]
