Valve has been rather quiet about the use of male_07 by Dafuq.

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.

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (i don't watch skibidi toilet and have never played fortnite)

[–] rosa666parks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because the single player fortnite was completely disappeared after they fully pivoted to making it a cartoon PUBG.

[–] logan_hero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's still top 20 by player count, despite being the only paid game mode and getting like 2 updates a year with some QOL and bugs every update

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was wondering what you meant by Top 20 until I checked their website. I thought it was just still BR with some variations. It's basically Roblox now.

[–] logan_hero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I used this third party website tho. As it displays player count graphs and other things for each """experience""".

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 days ago (9 children)

I saw skibidi toilet in the toy store the other day, how can it be so popular?

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It should be studied in film classes as a perfect example of non narrative based storytelling.

I'm serious.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

No it shouldn't.

I am also serious.

have you actually tried watching? I keep seeing complaints from people who never gave it a chance just because it looked weird

[–] mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 day ago

I've seen a number of people who I know for a fact enjoyed Salad Fingers 20 years ago just unthinkingly dunking on skibidi toilet

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Isn't it absurdist horror?

These kids seem way more into horror than I've ever seen. I was really surprised to hear how my cousin's kids adored a freaky one called Poppy Playtime.

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, it's a constantly intensifying war between alien invaders (the toilet people) and a resistance group of electronics-based people.

Absurd as hell as a concept, but dude somehow makes it engaging?

[–] NOOBMASTER@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's all because of that damn song sample!

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

The dancing fat Turk

[–] Twerp10@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

The first 2 episodes are before the narrative starts.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Right the meme is well aged and starting to smell a bit funky, it's time for the geezers to look at it. 👴

I'll give it a watch.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the spirit I thought it was weird until I dated a teacher and we watched like ten episodes and I was like yeah ok it's good.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have watched Skibidi Toilet - Season 1 [FULL SCREEN] my main thoughts are "cool use of source engine", I then watched a random one and at least it has different content so i'll watch some more of it later.

For me the initial clip is a bit meh, but the world building of the random episode looks interesting.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

The lack of any dialogue kinda makes me feel like I have to pay attention otherwise I'd have no clue what's going on.

Yeah I initially wrote it off as absurdist source engine 2010 yup engineer videos. But there's quite a bit more nuance than that.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It looks like something I would have mildly chuckled at when I was 12.

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.

[–] nul9o9@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Walican132@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Really interesting video thanks for sharing.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That animation is shit, it's slow and doesn't have the weirdness the OG has. You ruined a shitty meme fortnite, well done.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It would require them to individually custom animate every face's 3D mesh to it's absolute extremes.

If it were to be implemented properly it would probably have to be available only for the default skins and a small selection of popular skins. And that's if they even have the tools ready to push facial animations like that at all, idk if there are limits to the current rigging that would need to be addressed, idk how they'd do it tbh.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If they can spend the time making sure the stupid dances are right, they can spend the time making this shitty meme right.

If you're gonna do something, do it right or don't do it at all!

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm getting the impression that your name isn't exactly misleading.

But I do agree that a limited implementation of a more well executed version would be more interesting. Even if the whole meme is dumb.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

I chose my name for a reason.

It's more the speed of the movement that ruins it, it's too slow, speed the animation cycle up a bit and it wouldn't look as bad.

Just put skibidi toilet as a random NPC enemy in the game, I think that would be better, have it be like a random hord that runs through the map

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Huh, Fortnite is the next Family Guy.

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They’re already making a film about it, this was inevitable

[–] ours@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With Michael Bay of all people. Sounds like something out of a comedy sketch.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Exploding toilets? I'm there!!

[–] Syntha@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

That project has been abandoned

[–] Kelly@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It feels a bit late...

It's just a single emote.
