What blows my mind is that I’ve never heard of this game until the past two days when suddenly it has shattered records. I don’t know if I’m just outside of demographic shit or what now a days but this game might as well have not existed for me up until 48 hours ago. Like… did I somehow miss everything or did they have a subdued marketing campaign or something?
shit dude I didn’t ever realize I missed the superbowl until I saw a random post about snacks for it. The older we get, the less fucks we have to give.
I knew about the Haunted Mansion movie but only because of my playstations media tab. I tend to just leave the PlayStation on that screen to kill system audio if I’m just in a party chat. The page has ads though for different streaming services. Disney plus has been pushing that movie for the past 4 months for me.
That’s how I felt about Palworld. I don’t know how I completely was unaware of its existence, but there was enough prehype around it to get the huge sales it did at launch.
Same. A friend of mine messaged me about it, and I had never heard of it, not to mention there was an entire other game that came out before it. Same with Palworld. Shit came outta nowhere (for me).
Seriously. I’m fairly active in checking Steam Early Access, but I’d never heard of Palworld until the day of its release.
As for Helldivers, I had no idea there was a sequel in the works, though I’d heard off-hand that the first was pretty good (but still not my kinda game, anyway).
Maybe it’s because I have adblockers on everything I can and don’t use social media outside of Lemmy. Actually, that’s almost definitely it.

This is how I feel about movies. Did you know there was another haunted mansion movie last year? I didn’t until a month ago.
I feel like I’m aging outside the demographic for entertainment, so news of it doesn’t reach me anymore.
