I know I joked about DVDs but in all seriousness, I'm really glad that there's an option for watching VODs that isn't on Twitch and YouTube. It's been mentioned a few times today, but both of the interfaces of these platforms have been increasingly enshittified. I simply do not use YouTube anymore because of how horrid the interface is. I caught up on campaign 2 entirely on YouTube (and sometimes via podcast) in 2019 with no issues, but it is straight up maddening trying to use it now, and I don't know that I would have made it through the campaign if I was trying to catch up today.
I absolutely understand being tired of additional streaming services and I am absolutely in the same boat, but I also don't know how many people really recognize how gutted media distribution has become in the last ten years in the name of convenience. We all kind of realize it, but it's hard to grasp just how extensive it is. We can talk about independent business choices separately, and we should, but when the only platforms on which you have the option to distribute your work are at best frustrating to use and at worst hostile to human life, when monetization services can censor anyone they please with little explanation and have been cracking down on any content they arbitrarily deem inappropriate, when it is not clear that centralized conglomerate social media sites will continue to exist in the next year let alone decade, it is genuinely crucial for independent creators to start building alternative avenues of distribution that they control now.

following on from this. not to always bring marc into everything (sorry marc) but if assen 2015 had happened against jorge, valentino would have very likely pulled something similar again imo. rather than what he actually did, which is approach marc almost immediately for a nice normal friendly handshake and backing off during the podium celebrations. should be noted that during laguna seca '08, valentino was very much committed to yapping at casey on the podium with the world's biggest smuggest grin on his face
partly that disparity is because jorge not marc was the direct title rival, partly it's because valentino was treating marc with kid gloves right until the second that he wasn't, which marc was seemingly entirely oblivious to. if anyone other than marc had said what he said in that presser, had then continued on with similar rhetoric during sachsenring, valentino would quite likely have gone nuclear. he's done it over less than that. his fondness for marc made him continue to exhibit uncharacteristic restraint... except that fondness unfortunately is what left valentino feeling so very betrayed when (to his eyes) marc could not leave well enough alone

my god, people weren't joking when they said gortash is desperate to convince durge to ally with him. i genuinely think that cutscene was at least twice as long as it was compared to my tav playthrough.
also "make our pact anew" is fascinating. i wouldn't have thought divine oaths stop applying simply because one participant loses their memory, so i wonder how durge got away with killing ketheric. unless myrkul's intervention, in a durge run, is because of that?

I feel like if blue sky wasn't shut down and nimona got to be released in 2020 it would've gotten a lot of "watching the movie" fics

OH MY GOD THE ART LOOKS LOVELY! Consider: Danny and Jon infodumping about bees together because Jon loves niche trivia that's rarely relevant -the bee anon
[ID: A digital drawing of Danny Stoker and Jonathan Sims on a muted teal background. Danny is a beefy Latino man with light brown skin, short brown hair, a cut in his brow, dimples, and small gold hoop earrings. He's wearing a dark purple button up shirt with sunflowers on it with the short sleeves cuffed and the buttons half-undone, pink shorts, and white calf-height socks. Jon is a smaller, skinny Arab man with brown skin, short curly black hair half pulled into a bun, patchy facial hair, black painted nails, and half-moon glasses on a green beaded chain. He's wearing a large yellow turtleneck sweater with a long-sleeved green shirt underneath, and ripped black skinny jeans.
Jon is sitting on Danny's lap and Danny has one arm around him and the other hand resting on Jon's lap. Jon is gesturing with one hand while ranting with one eyebrow raised, looking annoyed and glancing upward, while Danny is chatting happily, smiling and glancing off to the side. Their speech bubbles, which have no actual text in them, are yellow for Danny and green for Jon. end ID]

using this as an opportunity to spread my uni-era jondanny agenda. i just think they would've been besties if they ever had the chance to meet and perhaps they would've dated. learned things about themselves. talked passionately about any and every subject for hours.
also yes that sweater is danny's

so, because i've been having this thought for like the past couple of days, so here ya go:
i think Jack and Henry should've gotten to fist fight each other at least once. like one-on-one, Fredbear’s parking lot, probably started because Jack marched up to Henry around closing time and just straight up decked him in the face.
as that one meme puts it: "It won't fix anything, in fact, it'll probably make things worse, but it's worth a shot anyway."
