@oddity@hellsite.site @00dani Correct!
@00dani yeah that's fair. I didn't mean to imply that the show itself had no meaning, but that the scope of fandom overwhelms the scope of source material. Sorry
@Primo And yet, 50 Shades of Grey ended up being basically that, so...
@Primo Kind of? Twilight was more fanfiction-focused, probably because making your own version of Robert Pattinson doesn't have the same appeal as a personalized cartoon persona
@00dani It's not that it *can't* matter, it's that the community is the main focus. At the end of the day, MLP isn't particularly special in any way. It's the community that makes it so engaging.
SA2 is great for the same reason that Twilight or MLP are great— the source material doesn't matter, because there's this recursive vibe that the community places around it that fills in all the holes. It's why we're still making Sonic OCs 20 years later
Something about the harebrained plot, the inconsistent game design, the chao garden, the unabashed way the game takes itself so seriously. If you took out just one small piece, then the entire thing would stop being incredible.
It's just such a weird game. There are games that play better, and look better, and have better experiences... There are games that handle the whole virtual pet thing much more elegantly, even.
But there's just... something about it.
It's not even a client-side or server-side error, minecraft just refuses to acknowledge that I'm connected to the internet when I'm connected to the internet
I'd change it from the blatant, ongoing half-puns but honestly I kind of like how her name works?
~ They/Them [plural] or She/Her [singular], please. ~
Nope
