    Internet is weird for people who only stick to message board type social media like lemmy and reddit, and avoid account focused social media like tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, threads, etc.

      have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird

        Isn’t it absurdist horror?

        These kids seem way more into horror than I’ve ever seen. I was really surprised to hear how my cousin’s kids adored a freaky one called Poppy Playtime.

        Right the meme is well aged and starting to smell a bit funky, it’s time for the geezers to look at it. 👴

        I’ll give it a watch.

      With Michael Bay of all people. Sounds like something out of a comedy sketch.

      I played the very early single player Fortnite when I was messing around with unreal 4 back in the day. I thought “this is cool” and never played it again, and now it’s one of the biggest games in the world I never saw it coming.

        Because the single player fortnite was completely disappeared after they fully pivoted to making it a cartoon PUBG.

          It’s still top 20 by player count, despite being the only paid game mode and getting like 2 updates a year with some QOL and bugs every update

              I used this third party website tho. As it displays player count graphs and other things for each “”“experience”“”.

    Similar target audiences right? I’m ok with this, I’m glad that kids have games to look forward to like when I was young. Just because ST isn’t for me doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for the people who will be happy with this.

      This video from tale foundry touches on this.

      Let kids be kids, and enjoy their lore like we did when we were young. It’s just getting wierd because people can cash in on it easily.

        Yep, I remember the old South Park episode about “Internet Dollars” something like 15 years old, and suddenly, people are figuring out how to do just that.

    That animation is shit, it’s slow and doesn’t have the weirdness the OG has. You ruined a shitty meme fortnite, well done.

      It would require them to individually custom animate every face’s 3D mesh to it’s absolute extremes.

      If it were to be implemented properly it would probably have to be available only for the default skins and a small selection of popular skins. And that’s if they even have the tools ready to push facial animations like that at all, idk if there are limits to the current rigging that would need to be addressed, idk how they’d do it tbh.

        If they can spend the time making sure the stupid dances are right, they can spend the time making this shitty meme right.

        If you’re gonna do something, do it right or don’t do it at all!

          I’m getting the impression that your name isn’t exactly misleading.

          But I do agree that a limited implementation of a more well executed version would be more interesting. Even if the whole meme is dumb.

            I chose my name for a reason.

            It’s more the speed of the movement that ruins it, it’s too slow, speed the animation cycle up a bit and it wouldn’t look as bad.

            Just put skibidi toilet as a random NPC enemy in the game, I think that would be better, have it be like a random hord that runs through the map
