    I find it funny news. I don’t get why so much people hate it like their personality depends on it

      It’s filled w/ MTX that preys on young people’s sense of FOMO.

      Oh, you’re talking about Skibidi Toilet? Yeah, I really don’t care one way or another about that.

        I mean atleast recently there haven’t been a lot of new battle Royale games. I haven’t seen a new big battle Royale game in a while, at most you get shooter games having a battle Royale game mode on top of the normal game modes they have.

          Rot is an essential part of our digestive process, assuming rot just means biological processes converting food from one state to a generally less appetizing state.

    I, on the other hand, would like to happily inform everyone that I still don’t know what this is beyond seeing those words together, and if I play my cards right, I might never!

      Skibidi Toilet is a series of short form videos using assets from Garry’s Mod and/or Source Film Maker. It features the camera heads (protagonists) fighting the toilet heads (antagonists). The toilets can be defeated by flushing the toilet. The series features an escalation of violence and weapons on both sides along with at least one additional faction joining.

      It’s actually pretty good. Like a lot of things the youth are into it’s their obsession with it that’s annoying moreso than the content.

    How on earth is this confusing? Skibidi toilet is like one of the biggest memes right now. Fortnite has practically everyone and everything in it nowadays.

      My 8-year-old actually informed me that this was in the game and followed it up with, “I want to die.”

      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.

    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.

    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.

      One could argue that this is the weird part of the internet now since we are the minority

      We are like the BBS, IRC, and Usenet users of the late 2000s who refused to be swayed by Digg, Reddit, and (SMS only) Twitter.
