What i can't comprehend is how impactful this is gonna be. Like, people are going to be terrified of using any technology for months if not years. It might spread to other regions. How sending people mentally back to the stone age productive in anyway?

True, vicious and diabolical terrorism. It's like they wanted to be become the best example of it ever.

Am I the only one who felt that Zelda Switch was nothing but grade A Nintendo slop that fanboys ate up happily? Horizon to me was how you mix combat, with traversal without dumb meters, and let’s face probably the dumbest way you implement physics. Garbage game, with a garbage cartoon world, and 100% garbage fans. Nintendo rewarded once again by unnecessary childhood memories.

BOTW was boring as fuck and overhyped due to the typical Nintendrone nostalgia. Nintendo finally made something barely modern and somehow it is hailed as the best shit ever.
And how is there whining about hand holding in that Xbox Zelda game when the Wii Zelda game was the most annoying offender?

Yeah I agree, I bought it off the hype (being a sega kid I never played a Zelda game before) and after about 40-50 hours of it exploring the open world and killing 2 of the bosses I gave up, it’s a glorified science kit which is cool and all but it’s not an experience I want to keep coming back to, just feel its trademark Nintendo and unless you have the nostalgia of the franchise from when you were kid living at home with no responsibilities then it just doesn’t cut it.

Yeah I agree It helps that From games sell AAA numbers at absolute miniscule budgets.

People need to stop repeating this. Because no Fromsoft games are not made with pennies. Elden Ring is the most ambitious game in their history and took more than half a decade with more than 1600 people being involved with the game by the time it was finished. Which is to say nothing of their crunch and underpay controversies.

Sorry...

It's all good, it's just important to remember that any "biggest game of the year" esque release most likely isn't some AA project with that didn't involve tens of millions of dollars if not more and 1000 people.

You missed the real 'juice', which is this bizarre slapfight between the OP, ContractHolder and a poster called Ld007.

I think it's worth highlighting and reading because,

1: nampad is right. ResetEra has become very boring recently, with a lack of lulz
2: It's Sunday. Even slower than usual, so this'll make for a nice read with your morning coffee
3: ContractHolder could be 'the next ZeoVGM' based on this interaction. He has all the vital ingredients: Massive levels of retardation. Blind devotion to companies. Talks out of his ass. Holier-than-thou, dismissive attitude.

This argument is over why the OP keeps referring to the films production company in thread titles.

I'll preface this by saying that Ld007 is absolutely right. You don't refer to Inception or Oppenheimer as 'Warner Brother's Inception'. Or Avatar as 'Disney's Avatar'. Or Lord of the Rings as 'New Line Cinema's The Lord of the Rings' It's often as Christopher Nolan's Inception, James Cameron's Avatar or JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

By referring to a film's production company continuously, you're stripping away the authorship of the movie from the director and creative talent. So Ld007 is correct.

Ld007 is highlighted in bold.

Nothing against the OP at all. But why is it "a24's" seems to be a thing with them, it's not like it's "Warner Brothers" Lethal Weapon now on Netflix, the are just studios/production companies.

Because a bunch of people don't realize it's an A24 film when I don't do that because A24 isn't as big as the other companies

The question was why does it matter?

They are a company.
A24's Barely Lethal is the same as saying Universal's Jack and Jill.
I don't get it, and more so when I have a 20 year old Stop Making Sense DVD and a near 40 year old Laserdisc in it's OAR that is now an A24 breakthrough in cinema?
It's odd.

I answered your question. Anyone who wasn't aware of the movie doesn't give a shit if they don't see A24, but does when they see A24.

It's not different than someone seeing Studio Ghibli next to a title and getting more interested. A24 is starting to get more interest as a brand as well. Doesn't matter that it's just a company.

I don't put Universal because it's a larger company and more people are aware of who's the distributor for most of their films. So they know what they're getting into. A24 they don't always know, and it's been obvious to me when I make these threads people give more of a shit when they see A24.

Which Ld007 dismisses with a...

That's depressing.

 
( ) 

A new challenger enters the ring with:

What is depressing about a studio putting out movies people like and thus people wanting to watch movies from that studio?

Because they are a company? It's no different to my Universal example

Blind brand devotion is very, very depressing.

The Substance thread doesn't say Mubi's The Substance..
I haven't liked all A24 movies, I also don't like all WB and Disney movies, they are the same thing and it's depressing.

Leading ContractHolder to GO FULL BENJI and write a massive wall of text, defending his thought process:

Alright, let me put this another way than you. Because I don't see this as Blind brand devotion perse. Especially as someone who doesn't like all A24 films or all films from a specific studio/distributor.

Not everyone is as invested in the medium as you. Or myself.

Depending on your level of interest in the medium, as well as emotional investment in the medium (which I consider to be two different things), you are only going to be aware of so many films coming out on a regular basis. Like what, we're looking at (even with less films than usual because of strikes and ect) a couple of hundred films this year.

Let me also remind you that the smaller studios and distributors do not run ads as often/in as many areas as the big distributors. Let alone run them in every theater. So A) Not everyone is going to realize they exist and B ) You're going to need to be at least somewhat interested regularly watching films as it is to just realize some of these films exist unless someone literally points it out to you. Now again, let's say you throw out the company name/distributor name. Unless again, you are so emotionally invested in the medium and interested in films that you regularly watch a ton of movies/you actively seek out smaller films, this is just on title alone one of HUNDREDS of films that came out this year. And if you're not super invested, you're not going to spend even a few seconds on every film title to figure out if it's something you'll give a shit about.

Like real blunt talk: I'm already digging way deeper into film list and tracking than a bunch of people on AN ENTHUSIAST FORUM. Before some recent hits from A24 got more attention, people who had about a medium level of interest in films and a slight emotional investment were not aware of a ton of films.

Like it or not: Not everyone has someone who is into films on a level you're describing/knows what they like to accurately recommend whether one title from a smaller distributor is right for them. And not everyone is going to give a shit enough to go "fuck it, I'll give it a try/I'll look into this film more" on every smaller film. Sometimes people need a quick half second sign that says "Hey, you might be interested in this fyi". And yes, sometimes that's a studio name. It can't be a director, because for smaller films it could be a first timer or someone you won't know unless you're extremely invested in the medium. Actors aren't always enough because A) they're not always well known as the big films and B) it still requires you to look more into a film which means you need a certain level of investment/care. And genre doesn't automatically mean you're going to like it either, people have certain tastes and opinions and need something more to ensure they can dedicate time.

It's great that you're willing to look at this from a individual movie perspective, rather than a studio. But you have to understand that you can not expect everyone to give a shit in the same way as you because of different interests/amount of time available/emotional investment. And that's perfectly ok that they're not on the same level as you. Because for other mediums/industries/knowledge, you're probably coming off as depressing in how active you're seeking out things too because you're not as interested/emotionally invested as others.

... Also, bluntly, getting depressed that others aren't thinking in the same way as you is kind of silly.

Which Ld007 again brutally dimisses, this time with just 5 words 

Getting personal is a choice

Ld007 is totally right, but should have stated one thing bluntly: A24's releases are made by different writers/directors/crew from across the world so you're taking away authorship from the creative talent, instead making it appear as if a bunch of suits at A24 was responsible for the entire movie.

It's why the Studio Ghibli and Pixar argument doesn't work. Hayao Miyazaki founded Studio Ghibli (along with 2 other directors) and is so closely entwined with him, as to be inseparable. Indeed 80% of their output is just Miyazaki.

And Pixar movies are always in-house. They are not a distributor and still have mostly the same people working from them since their foundation. The Pixar look is essential to their identity. 

Honestly, the brand devotion on ResetEra is so extreme and bizarre. I don't see anything like it elsewhere. I occasionally point out that Era is men mostly in their late 30's and early 40's, because when you're in your early 20's, the impossible levels of stupidity you see on Era on a daily, hourly basis can be somewhat excused.

But when you're middle-aged men with a hardcore devotion to Nintendo, Sony, Star Wars, The MCU and now film production companies... it's just nuts.

Another day, another relationship thread.

This dude keeps referring to his partner as 'they', so his partner probably hasn't decided if they are a girl, guy, horse, donkey...

https://www.resetera.com/threads/your-new-relationship-just-announced-they%E2%80%99re-leaving-the-country-in-four-months-what-do-you-do.988233/#post-129074199

Just to give some context, I met someone I've been dating for the past two and a half months, we've been hitting off really great, to the point where we were already feeling like we were in a relationship.

Cut to yesterday, where they said they've filed the paperwork to work in another country (in a distant continent) and that they're moving definitively in January.

No mentions of how the relationship could work, the text just mentions that they're telling me this for me to figure out what I wanna do.

I'm two years away from finishing med school, so moving to another country is out of the question. What do you do?

Personally, I'm leaning towards breaking up now, since I know it's only gonna get tougher if we stick together until then, and being over 30, I will most definitely not try to convince them to stay and pass on a life changing opportunity

Thread follows the same repetitive, predictable pattern of every other relationship thread on Era.

'Hi, I'm having a problem with my partner-'...

'BREAK UP! DIVORCE! BREAK UP NOW!'

If it's a permanent change and you have no desire or intention to move yourself, break up now.

End of the road imo

Break up is the only good option. Too much resentment from the other ones

Break up immediately. I speak from experience

Break up now. Doesn't seem like they took you into consideration when making that decision

Break up immediately.

I can't do long distance relationships

I don't do long distance. Easy break up

Etc...

Why does anyone ever go to Era for any kind of relationship advice?

You're on a forum filled with most of the loneliest, angriest, bitterest, misogynistic, forever-alone, women-hating men on the internet.

Of course they're gonna tell you to break-up. They want you to be as miserable and lonely as they are, dummy

Context: World famous soccer player Cristano Ronaldo tweeted a promotional video regarding his involvement in the upcoming Fatal Fury game. It is a crossover event, so it's possible that he may be a playable character.

If you're a fan of fighting games, then chances are you'll probably find the prospect quite hilarious. While Mortal Kombat gets the T-1000, Street Fighter gets Terry Bogard, Fatal Fury gets..... real life soccer player Cristano Ronaldo. Trading blows with Terry Bogard and Mai Shirunai.

Of course, Ree couldn't help but to be rancid cunts about it, choosing to focus on something controversial that obviously would sour the mood entirely. I don't even know much details of this alleged rape case, but something about Ree loudly virtue signaling about it makes me more focused on their petty bullshit instead of the case.

I know deep down they probably don't actually care about the woman involved, they just love virtue signal and being able to say the word "rapist". It just must feel so good to their empty shells once they bleat out "Ewww, this is so disgusting! I'm not buying a game that has a RAPIST in it!"

https://www.resetera.com/threads/cristiano-ronaldo-x-fatal-fury-city-of-the-wolves.987954/page-3#post-129055638

his win quote leaked, pretty weird


"She said that she didn't want to, but she made herself available. The whole time it was rough, I turned her onto her side and it was fast. Maybe she got some bruises when I grabbed her. She didn't want to give it to me, instead she jerked me off. I don't know exactly what she said when she was jerking me off. But she kept saying 'No, don't do it, I'm not like the others'. She said no and stop several times. I apologised afterwards."

This is really fucking weird and creepy, especially because it's a hardcore virtue signaler making a drawn out "joke" that would .....actually be somewhat insensitive to the victim.

Like if a woman was actually raped in this situation, and this person is a fragile little pussy complaining about insensitive remarks all the time ....why would he tell a joke that details the traumatic experience of the victim?

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/22/middleeast/israel-strikes-hezbollah-weakened-analysis-intl/index.html

Suspicion pierces through the catastrophic aftermath of the attack. Plainclothes Hezbollah members snatch the phones of people snapping photos, demanding they be deleted. “Get the cell phones out of here!” screams one woman.

I imagine this is the reason why there has been little bitching about collateral victims given that Hezbollah seems more annoyed of being portrayed as weak than saying “they kill 8 random babies living in the office building”.

Isn’t this what ERA wanted? Attacks targeted to the combatants for the most part?
