Tumblr’s Core Prodct Stratgy

Here at Tumblr, we’ve been working hard on trying to keep our sinking ship afloat for as long as possible. This means desperately trying to copy every new fly-by-night social media app that some multi-billionaire sh*t out during their daily Peloton routine. What follows is the strategy we're using to accomplish the goal of user growth. If you find the things we say here worrisome, please understand that is our exact intention. You've outgrown our target demographic. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

The Diagnosis

It's lookin' pretty bad y'all!

After somehow losing hundreds of thousands of users during the great pr0n purge of 2018, we started to wonder if anything could be done to get back to where we were. We even brought in a management consultant who charged us a ridiculous amount of money. It would make you sick if you knew how much, but we got a few nice meals out of it at least. Anyhow, we handed this guy the app, and HE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO USE IT! It was f*cking hilarious! But suddenly it all clicked -- our users are a bunch of stupid idiots who can't even do basic arithmetic. I mean, they spend all day looking at their phones, so what do you expect?

Tumblr’s best feature is its unique content and vibrant communities. But who cares, right? We're just as happy getting traffic from people sh*t-posting memes, vague-booking, giving out-of-context hot takes to news events, and spewing whatever random thought is in their head at the moment. Plus that stuff doesn't p*ss off Apple.

To keep this thing going we need new people. And by "people" we mean teenagers, like we used to have back in the good ol' days. Unfortunately we're all in our 40s now, so we have no idea what they want. But teenagers are so cool! Imagine if they talked to us like we're one of them? We're getting hard just thinking about it.

Our Guidng Principls

To make Tumblr cool again, we must address these huge glaring issues.

People can look at a blog without logging in. How is that fair to all the poor schlubs who had to fill out forms to get an account? Also we haven't figured out a way to force ads onto the personalized pages yet. But we swear that's not the main reason.

People can see content they are looking for or linked to. People can keep up with blogs they follow. But the problem with this is, people don't know what they want. We know what they want! We're smart. We wrote this damn site, remember?

Promote posts that incite pointless conversations. Posts that are guaranteed to bait every troll into responding. Isn't that why all your Magat relatives love Facebook so much? We can do that!

P*ss off your content creators in every way possible (see #2).

Create algorithms that throw an unending barrage of irrelevant content in your face. Have you seen Instagram lately? We could do that so easy!!!

The app is slow. The website is slow. Obviously this is because of GIFs. Facebook and Instagram don't allow them, so why should we?

Conclusion

Our mission changes on a day-to-day basis. Right now we're super jealous of all the attention that new Threads thing is getting. We're still not sure what it is, but we're gonna download it after work.

The Jon Lovitz Adventure Trilogy (Windows, unknown author and years)

You can download the entire trilogy here.

REALLY FREAKING IMPORTANT TIPS - DO THESE IF YOU DON'T WANT A HELL OF A TIME TRYING TO GET A NON-WORKING GAME TO CLOSE:

Use the program linked at the bottom of this page on the first two games. Use Windows compatibility mode (Windows XP Service Pack 2) on all of them. Ignore any virus alerts; they're false positives. Wait at the first game's title screen for some backstory.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

#DogOfBay #JapanOnlyPs2Games #ObscureVideoGames #MyOldGrossBaseArt #MyArt

These are super old base arts I did.

My art is slowly getting better I think and I don't use bases anymore.

I even made a evil version of the main character that was clown like. I kind of want to redraw him some day with a new name.

I even made a free gaia avatar maker dress up game on a now long gone website.

This is my old oc his name is Yami Camus his Dalmatian boy and the evil version of Camus for Dog of bay.

I might change his name though.

I'm surprised the furries slept on this game.

It's like a better Cats 2019 movie but with dogs.

I remember only seeing the ending to this game on Google video before Google got Youtube.

It was pretty rare back then.

Are people seriously giving obscurevideogames shit for posting a GIF from the “Ripping Friends” video game?

First of all, the posts are queued up well in advance, so it’s not their fault that it happened to be posted shortly after Ripping Friends creator John K was outed as an ephebophile.

Secondly, you’re allowed to seperate a creator from their work. That is a thing that you are allowed to do. None of their posts about the game made any mention of John K.

And finally... you really give that much of a shit about The Ripping Friends of all things? That show that basically nobody remembers because it was shit?

Thank you for running this blog you made me learn about so many games that I would never had heard of if this blog didn't exist!!!!!!!

Thanks! It's been a surprisingly popular year for this blog (much better than last year), so I plan to keep doing this as long as I can.

Tomorrow's Tuesday so y'all know what that means!

For tomorrow's Throwback Tuesday, we'll be looking into a classic arcade rail shooter known for its addictive gameplay and cute art style!

Who's ready for Pop'n Twinbee for the SNES and Super Famicom?

#DogOfBay #JapanOnlyPs2Games #ObscureVideoGames

Part 2

Thinking about how Dog of Bay should be put on steam since the Game Grumps played it but I knew about this game when G4 was popular back in the day before the internet was fast and popular.

This also what Friday Night Funkin' reminded me of and I hope for a mod with this character or a English translation.

This is a rare soundtrack for the songs in the game.

This inspired one of my oc's Zable Fable to world travel to different worlds or Realm Jump.

I also like Camus the Dalmatian guy in blue and I remember in back in the day uploading not that great base fan art of the main two.

I don't own the game, music, or the vids.

There is a English lyrics for the soundtrack. Video not mine but link is there.

"Starlit Sky" (Opening) by Minako Honda - Dog of Bay English sing-along OST - YouTube
