I can't stand how predatory advertising is now.

Footage of "gameplay" that has nothing to do with the actual game.

"Playable" ads that aren't actually playable, or only let you get so far before forcing you to open the Play Store.

Games that are made not to be good or entertaining, but to be ad farms and show 30-second ads between every level, sometimes even in the middle of levels, and even FAKE "pay to remove ads" or ad-free behind a SUBSCRIPTION.

All of these are reasons I just don't play mobile games anymore. Remember when mobile game addictions were a real problem? Yeah I think they solved that by making nothing but slop since 2015.

Fake X buttons.

Automatically installing apps you didn't ask for with your phone's "security updates".

Slowing down your scrolling while the ad is onscreen.

Popping up the second you click the Like button on a legitimate video so you like the ad/click a link instead.

Videos that purposely leave out the content you came for.

Fake image slideshows that trick you into swiping into the Store/opening a link.

Covering up the entire screen bit by bit on every news article so it's unreadable.

AI generated and trying to sell a completely fictional product.

Genuinely good and creative content drowned out 10 to 1 by ads and "influencer" videos promoting products.

Videos pretending to be genuine craft videos but are actually selling something.

Hidden links that cover what you're actually trying to click on so you open the ad instead.

Movies that are really just trailers to sell tickets and butts in the seats while the movie itself is soulless utter slop.

Commercials that aren't enjoyable, funny, or creative at all anymore so they can't even be less of a burden to watch.

We're just lucky they haven't found a way to legally siphon money from your bank account with every accidental click.

Every modern form of entertainment is ruined.

Have watched YT go from ‚buffer before leaving the house and watching uninterrupted with the screen off‘ to:

-unskippable pre-roll ad

- skippable after 1 minute ad just 90 seconds into the video

-dynamic ads that play every time you hit play after pausing for more than like 30 seconds.

-constantly having to hit play because the ads take up so much space I accidentally hit them when putting my phone in my pocket.

-can‘t read comments because ads jump back to the top with every new clip.

-every line of videos on the home page contains at least one or two commercials disguised to look like actual vids.

-the first video is an ad by default.

-the first recommended video after finishing something is now an ad.

-when pausing vids in full screen half your screen becomes an ad.

-accidentally klicked to another video? Guess who’s gotta watch the ads for that and watch the ads on the previous video again.

And then they ask to buy the premium service to not have ads…at this point it’s a protection racket tbh.

MNOG Onu Koro

This is a weird tumblr thing but sure, let’s play along…

[ferainart]

Well this is nostalgic. And way faster paced than snake ever was XD

[tinyspaceofficer]

Drawing dragons is always fun hehe c:.

Iron Lung spoiler thought

He probably could’ve noticed the air was turning spicy from using that thing earlier - except it’s a blood ocean and everything already tastes like metal.

Watch this for about 5 minutes for the authentic experience of playing MNOG on a 2001 dial-up connection.

one thing i love about Gali’s MoL design: Her mask seems pretty different from the set until she goes underwater. Then, her cheek vent thingies pop out, and suddenly whoa its more set accurate and also a freakin cool concept

[rahisaurus]

posting the gifs on this post to keep it together. You can juuuust catch them retracting as she pops her head out of the water.

The fact that neither the Toa Nuva nor the Turaga opted to give Takanuva any training before sending him off to fight Makuta suggests they either had tremendous faith in the prophecy, or just zero faith in Takanuva’s learning abilities.

After all, Vakama tried for 1000 years to teach him to be a productive member of society with little success, so there was little point trying to explain the finer points of light manipulation. Takua was always the type who learned best by experience, so the decision was made to send him down the tunnel and see what happened.

“You can make a laser beam, yes? Good. Go do that, repeatedly, in the Makuta’s general direction until there’s nothing left of him, and come and get us when you’re done. Try not to get distracted by Makuta’s illusions or shiny rocks. Good luck!”

[makutaservaela]

Vakama was only a Toa for several days before he faced off against Teridax. And yeah, he didn’t do as well, but mainly because he chickened out while using the Vahi, and Lhikan had to help him out.

Besides having an element directly opposed to Teridax, Takanuva is also incapable of realising when to chicken out, so as far as Vakama was concerned, Takanuva was unstoppable here.

(Not to mention that The Toa Metru beat him the first time when they were barely-trained baby Toa. Sending an even *less* trained baby Toa at Teridax was just Vakama’s way of rubbing it in.)

[naturalistsguidetoeberron]

The fact that Teridax is a grandstanding arrogant fluff of green gas should also not be underestimated; the Metru beat him because he spent the entire fight trying to grab Vakama with his shadow hand, Takanuva beat him in a one-on-one game of Kohlii, and Matoro almost killed him by freezing him solid in a robot. Only Canon win in a fight was after he let Icarax exhaust himself whaling on him.

I suspect Teridax isn’t really that good in a straight-up fight and his worst fear is anyone else finding that out.

[makutaservaela]

He got repeatedly beaten by baby Toa, including getting glued to a wall, and challenging a former champion to a Matoran game Teridax has never played.

Mata Nui trolled him HARD about the identities of the Toa Metru.

He didn’t have the basic common sense to not let Dark Hunters stand beside him while he was in disguise.

Did the absolute worst job at pretending to be Nokama that someone could do.

He didn’t have the basic common sense to not wear his Dark Hunter skinsuit in front of The Shadowed One.

He only has three known Rahi creations: a failed plant, another plant (both of whom were also killed by baby Toa), and a mollusc whose only ability is to be eaten.

His Plan basically only exists because he mooched off of Mutran’s information.

His Hagah apparently have no clue where Rahi come from, implying that they never at any point saw him make any Rahi.

I love the idea that Teridax is not clever. He’s just a more obnoxious version of Vezon: egotistical chaotic dumbass who is convinced he is the smartest, handsomest, most powerful being around, who cannot actually strategize for shit, and just kinda Oops’d his way into taking over the Universe.

[ferainart]

Now I’m just picturing him as that kinda person with a million half baked ideas for startups, most of which fail except for the handful that luckily worked out.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

question! if a human gets simultaneously bitten by a vampire, a zombie, and a werewolf, what's the end result?

[julimar-cool]

(You get a rash!)

You get a monster rash!

(A monster rash!)

And then you'll writhe and thrash!

(from monster rash!)

And then you bleed from your ass!

(from monster rash!)

You get a mooonster rash!

[ferainart]

Too wrapped up in just trying to catch you.

They cursed their lack of foresight.

But for someone without eyes and a brain they were doing pretty well!
