this makes me so sad… there’s so much humor in this video but behind that is a real feeling of loss. it’s a small kind of grief to never be able to play a beloved game ever again
i feel like all the people are like “wikipedia is NEVER accurate!” severely underestimate the sheer power of a bunch of dedicated nerds who find no greater joy than in correcting each other
i find it strange that people take "you should monitor your child's internet use" to mean "you should install invasive surveillance programs" and not "you should have enough trust and rapport with your kid that they're able to tell you how they spend their time online"
it’s crazy how these two were just stereotypical snooty mean girl characters at first and then in the last season turned into venomously racist working-class-hating young republicans
i found a relic on my backup drive. the entire DR somethingawful let's play from back when this was literally the only way to consume this story as an english-speaking westerner
if you're sad this is a sign to draw your two biggest comfort characters as the steven meme. yeah my ocs my comfort character. yeah my ooak lagoonas my comfort character.
TW disordered eating
having an ED and participating in e/dtwt CANNOT be treated as the same thing. it’s like the difference between being addicted to hard drugs vs selling them to children
myscene is more like what bratz was accused of being than bratz was. the bratz just wanted to rock out, run their fashion magazine, and go to school. the myscene girlies on the other hand are nightclub regulars and probably own fake IDs

after that awful situation where somebody drove away with + dumped a rider’s cat i swear i will NEVER allow my cat to be out of arms reach in any ridesharing context
i genuinely think fab faces has one of the funniest doll gimmicks in existence. like yes ik they're ugly but maybe i'd like to have more dolls that are capable of making 6 different types of grimace
the titans of the “cozy gaming” genre like stardew, animal crossing, and harvest moon never refer to themselves as that. it’s implied but not directly stated. when “cozy” is plastered all over the game description it just feels like shallow SEO-driven coattail riding
like. don’t get me wrong if it’s shutting down it’s best to remove the option to pay for it sooner than later. but this also is basically guaranteed to be a sign that the game will be gone soon.
i’m still on the dollskill email list despite not buying anything from them in years because how else could i get real-time updates on the ugliest shit i’ve ever seen
it’s so crazy to me that so many parents viewed myscene as the “safe” alternative to bratz just on their comfort w the barbie brand alone. like bratz were just teens who wore crop tops and the myscene girls were doing shots and molly
even if it’s not 100% reliable, wikipedia going down would be DEVASTATING to the internet’s ability to act as a place to aggregate and access information. it would leave a hole that wouldn’t be able to be filled for years, if ever (not saying there’s imminent risk of that)
imagine reducing a movie with the most heartbreaking/influential speech for women ever to a movie about “big boobs” like I’m so serious we need to find a way to reproduce without men
@LSMark_
exactly; the problem isn’t with the fact that this scenario was depicted in the first place, but the fact that it was handled with such a lack of tact. this is behavior that traumatizes kids, not a goofy quirky thing to make jokes about
So, this is awkward. We're still here. And will be on December 31st. But super sweet that you all love us so much that the thought of us leaving got us so much attention!
PS - we made Pop free to everyone this month! 🎁

i feel like people who get frothing-at-the-mouth angry at the concept of people setting boundaries like this are the same type of people who build their whole personality & sense of humor around making people uncomfortable and upset
the monster high-ification of the myscene art pissed me off sooooo bad like ik it’s a more “polished” look or whatever but the redesign is just so drab and unmemorable to me
i really have zero empathy for the mindset that kids media is this sub-class of media that isn’t worthy of quality, criticism, or analysis. if we as a culture completely stop caring about the quality of kids media, all that will remain is Cocomelon
nahhhh if we’re going to talk about toxic friend groups in kids tv that award goes to the bratz. these girls were at each others necks at every opportunity
i love mascot characters because there’s no lore required. all you need is to see this little guy to understand. he’s just vibes and that’s all that he needs
trying to 100% these shopaholic games as much as possible for the sake of thoroughness but unfortunately due to an error, the stores in Shopaholic London that are supposed to be unlocked in 24 hours will instead be unlocked in 54 years
