I can't understand why so many people are okay with ads. Especially recently they have become a nuisance I feel. Some have begun incorporating swearing which I thought was a nono for advertisers.

>AWWWWW LAWDY
>LAWDY DEM RANGS
>YUH DEM RANGS UH POWAH

Fucking zoomer never had a TV with broadcast channels that spammed ads every 15 minutes

>>22519150
Did your family not have "kissing break" during ads?

>>22519132
ay u speakin my language, that of the descriptive mind

>>22518691
Stopped gaming and started reading. Best decision of my life.

every 10 minutes in amerika

>>22519195
why not both

I can’t fathom people who still watch TV or movies anymore. I know the “NPC” meme is overused and a bit ridiculous in its foundation, but it is absolutely applicable when it comes to visual mediums. Maybe it’s because you’re passively watching rather than interacting mentally with it.

She's a good character in a shit show. The only thing she really lacks is a beard

>>22519819
I only watch older TV shows nowadays, and I sometimes go to the movies because I find that although rare, there's at least a few decent movies out every now and again. I'm never paying for any sort of subscription though lmao

>>22519874
>The only thing she really lacks is a beard
and white skin

>>22519819
there is unfortunately a whole generation of people growing up with this media now that simply don't know anything else.

>>22519874
If you watched that kinda shit you’re essentially no better than a slave and no longer have human rights.

>>22520135
I agree, old programs are good. In fact, older shit for every single medium is better than what's being released nowadays. The only real exception is /mu/ stuff.

i'd pay 2.99 a month to not watch rings of power seasons 2.

>create the "highest viewed, most successful show in the history of streaming... ever!"
>next year you have no money
interesting. Very interesting.

>>22519195
Good. I stopped gaming as well but I cannot read because games fried my brain.

>>22520191
not really. actual young people barely watch the stuff, the just stare at tiktok/youtube. tv shows are mostly aimed at the middle-aged and up.

>>22519195
I wanna stop gaming but gmod DarkRP is still fucking hilarious. Fucking with the larpers is addictive.

the rot has long since seeped into literary fiction

>>22519874
White people are a people too.

Dwarves are a germanic myth, they shouldn’t be played by an African, it’s offensive is much the same way a white guy playing Shaka Zulu would be.

Black little mermaid? That’s Dutch.
Black Lancelot? That’s British.
Black asgardians in marvel movie? Scandinavian.

So I hope you stop supporting it.

>>22521227
Oh god….

>>22521482
I always wonder why people say the little mermaid is a Dutch story. I always thought it was Danish?

>>22521506
My bad, it is danish.

>>22521227
>even the part you can see you still can't see shit
Action directing is truly an art of obfuscation but this is fucking absurd.

>entertainment can't sustain itself without revenue from outside
Pretty weird considering there's an ever growing pool of material. Seems indicative of bloated production salaries and greed.

Does anybody have the screengrab of the post from /tv/, describing how the reason the writer's strike is happening is because Amazon and every other entertainment company tricked people, including their own writers, into thinking streaming was profitable? But it turns out it wasn't, and the studios can't admit it without being screwed by lawsuits?

>season 2 for a show most people didn't bother watching the whole first season

I'm not even white and I still hate this new diversity bullshit. I very much prefer for dwarves, elves, westrons etc to be exclusively white. I don't understand how inferior american niggers feel to steal their "enemy's" history and culture. Thankfully, my culture is too niche for blacks to want to steal it, but the day they do it, I'm gonna chimp out against them

>>22522318
Sunk cost fallacy. Amazon paid, like, a billion dollars for the rights to Tolkien's stuff.

>>22521470
took me a moment to get the pic. kek

>>22519819
movies (or what i rather calll kino) are based

>>22519819
Same. Most mentally degraded activity possible

>>22518734
Thanks to the jews at the FCC, you can say just about anything on TV

Don't badmouth kinos

Once I realized my favorite video games were the ones that had a more fleshed out story or presented interesting ideas I slowly stopped playing them. Good movies are fine. Tv network slop is dreadful, but some of that shit really got me through some shit as a youngin when all my family did was fight. Same with video games.
