How about a Grim Fandango movie? Or a Sam & Max or Monkey Island movie?


How do you race swap a skeleton?


Phrenologically. Now both sides are happy!


Times like this I really wish I could downvote people on here


You can, I believe the requirement is 500 karma.


I’m aware, but thank for your sharing the info for anyone who might not be :)

I just meant that I wish that /I/ could downvote people. I don’t comment much, but racebaiting like that should just be greyed out


Very easy to do a shamble in the eyes of fans, very hard to attract other people who didnt play the games.


As a counterpoint, look at the massive cross cultural success of the Last Of Us on HBO. My SO never played the games, nor heard of them, yet loved the show quite dearly, saying multiple times to anyone who would listen that its one of the best TV shows of all time she's ever seen, and it takes alot to get that kind of praise from her.


I don't know anyone under 35 who likes that show


Anecdotal evidence:

Myself and my SO are both under 35. Most of our friends like the show, and they range from 26-41. I know one of my best friends, who's cousins kids watched the show intently, all between 16-20, as he told me.

It was also a weekly discussion point in our friend groups, it was fairly actively engaged.

It was also a gangbuster for ratings[0] and is number 6 on the Nielsen streaming stats[1] with a staggering 837 Million Minutes watched in a fairly short period of time. Willing to bet you don't really "get there" without a healthy amount of people under 35 watching this show.

Tucker Carlson hit 700 million minutes watched for his first episode.

I have rocks to sell if anyone's buying.


1. Horrible abuse from media and devs since before I was born.

2. No one ever has infinite time and I totally understand that there are devs that can currently just grab and use if they're employed.

3. I dunno and defer

4. That makes sense on a first glance but the efficiency of profit will prolly never be like that again?

5. new people are born every day

6. First time I ever experienced screen burn was this month.


Location: NW USA

Remote: sure

Willing to relocate: yes to many places but not all

Other stuff: still wanting someone to take me under their wing and teach me how to harness my learning skills to be able to afford rent and utilities and sustenance and such. Willing and able to learn anything that can be presented to me as mutually sustainably beneficial.


Facebook, the CDC... they all suppressed legitimate concern about the most horrible thing during my life-time and even-more-so the younger people that continue to be traumatized by this when they were already in a worse position. John Cena, Daryl Morey, Hunter Biden - a star QB like Drew Brees in the US can't respect the US flag. LeBron James in US territory can't respect the US and can't disrespect the world's only hegemon, the Chinese Communist Party.

I don't have the means to fix very much of our world at all. I'll keep trying, though.


Seems like too little too late.


Blackmailing and framing must be easy for people who don't care. From there, I guess it's how well you can cultivate an audience for it?

I wish states had left us alone. Some of the much older abuses are "public" like from Montreal, a few are well known and even joked about, the rest continue to rule the media ecosystem over me. Multiple music videos are released under the name "Billie Ellish" depicting forcible injections and it still doesn't get discussed.

Another lesson for us poor and abused.


I am interested in what you're trying to get at here, but I must admit, I am at a complete loss as to what you're trying to make a point about, other than a very general those in society without high visible status still aren't given proper attention, or at least in that ballpark.

Do you mean the US? What exactly do you mean about Montreal?


Meanwhile, many of us powerless cry ourselves to sleep over widely seen, publicly available evidence that happens to implicate rulers.


I never cared who "won".
