Not even going to pirate it. The entire franchise has become poisonous to me. I don't begrudge anyone for still having fond memories of the series, but it's really and truly completely ruined for me.
It's less that they're willing to compromise, and more that they know a lot of their beliefs are abhorrent to the general population, but they still hold them. So they have to hide their true feelings because they know that people would reject them if they express those beliefs.
Which is inself so fucking absurd. Can you imagine spending money to convince other people to work harder? Like, as a concept to itself it's so absurd.
You still haven't defined anything. So if a game is only made by one person, it's indie? Games made by very small teams aren't indie?
Look, I get it, "indie" is actually a bit of a nebulous term, and is often co-opted by medium/large size studios who want to pretend to be "better" than the AAA games, but no reasonable person would call Celeste "not indie."
So if an indie game blows up because it's great then it's not indie? That's a silly way to define it.
Have some mid-sized studios co-opted the term? Sure. Expedition 33 is on that AA spectrum, but a game by a very small team? In what definition is Celeste not an indie game?
This has happened a few times to me with little bunnies. Luckily those will let you just pick them up (with gloves) and set them down. Good idea with the towel wrapped cloth!
You'll find that most people on Lemmy are not super keen on AI, and using an AI summary to back up your points will pretty much universally be met with ridicule.
I personally think it's dangerous to use AI as a fact checker. It might be great a lot of the time, but you're basically deciding that you're fine with the random data and facts that it completely fabricates. To that end, "asking an AI if you're right" is NOT functionally equivalent to "making sure you're right."
It just has the same energy as Roger Ebert's weird essay about how video games can't possibly be art. Do you also not think games, movies, tv, plays, dances, etc are not art?
Hopefully you know that "pro wrestling" is an incredibly broad term, and if you're only thinking about WWE, you're only getting a piece of the picture. But even beyond that, even if every single CURRENT production of pro wrestling was actually this "kitche" term that you describe, can you maybe see the absurdity in thinking that it's literally impossible for it to be art going forward? You can't imagine a compelling narrative that also includes some people doing over-the-top gymnastics on top of each other?
I guess... Why is it important to broadly dismiss an entire genre of performance as "not art"? Wouldn't you rather describe your view as "so far what I've seen hasn't been art to me, and I don't really care to investigate further" and leave it at that?
This picture invites you to tell yourself a story about what happened, but it doesn't give you enough information to know what happened.
And this is the root problem of memes-as-news. Hell, half the time people here worked up over a 10 year old tweet. There are so many things that seem dumb or crazy without context, and then you provide a single kernel of explanation and people are fine.
But you're basically saying "I've never seen a good example of pro wrestling being art, so it must not exist."
If it's not your thing, that's fine, but going out of your way to say "this entire genre is actually lesser than REAL art" is pretty silly. It's judgemental and also pretty close minded. It's what I used to do as a teenager.
Seriously. There are multiple times where just showing someone's face is a big reveal, but you're expected to keep track of multiple versions / ages of various people AND their family connection and I just could not keep up with remembering who was who. Everyone looks like the same so that doesn't help.

Help Neighbor is an aggressively bad game. It released in a barely finished state and is only playable if you hate yourself.
It got by on ok art direction and a unique premise, but seriously go watch someone play it. It's pretty fun to watch someone else do.

Ah yes, adding measuring and metrics to friendship, surely a recipe for success!
Dude. Talk to her and consider therapy.
Still driving my year 2000 car, will drive it into the ground.

You get used to it. It's only jarring for the first few episodes and then your brain will tune it out.
Also it's a real audience.
Also has several full length books that are quite good.
The me with cake in me is a better me than the me without cake in me. There is no suffering from cake.
Also texting cost money at one point and was based on length, so you had to abbreviate.

This kinda has bro science vibes. We don't have nearly enough of an understanding of the brain to make statements like this.
