  • Oh boy.

    I want to support content creators, especially the ones willing to post to Lemmy.

    This also reminds me of kids just trying out creative pursuits for the first time, what with “Please no hate” in the title instead of using the title like an actual title and asking commenters to be gentle in the post body. Not wanting hate is just a normal and understandable desire, so I feel bad for even saying that, but I also only ever saw that kind of thing in the title of a post when I was 9 and looking at stuff fellow kids put online. Most creators, even those seeking feedback (and I’ve seen a lot of those), will put a request to be gentle in the post body. Their title actually tells you about their content and tries its damndest to appeal to you.

    “Tell me what do you think about this video” also isn’t 100% perfect English. I mean, who among us hasn’t made a screwup before with the English language? But somehow this just… really reminds me of kids trying out creative pursuits for the first time. I can’t really explain it.

    I think I’m also expecting a description of what your video is even about in the body, and your message could apply to any video uploaded. A makeup tutorial, a math lesson, an avant-garde art piece… I assume it has to do with gaming given you posted it in !gaming@lemmy.world, but that is all I know. Something about this just feels weird and wrong and I figured I might as well help you (since you did ask for feedback) by trying to explain why I feel so, so offput by this post.

    Also, I opened the video, saw the #dani hashtag, and thought “oh that guy that person on Lemmy was trying to promote,” had a hunch, and checked your profile to find you are that person on Lemmy who was promoting him. So I admit I have that experience coloring my perception of your post.

    Also, while I’m on a rant, it should be “golfers” without the apostrophe

    It feels good that someone else caught that too. And yeah, that’s the worst when even looking at the surrounding brackets does not help you disambiguate between two possible answers. I was just lucky that “yell” is something I personally use and see more often than “shout”.

    Also, I don’t play in Hard Mode specifically because I might make typos and don’t want to be penalized for making a typo and hitting backspace and fixing it before I submit. Does Hard Mode actually count each individual keystroke and so I’d get penalized for mistyping, recognizing it, and fixing before submitting?









  • I am in the other camp, I like the immersion.

    I also have a tendency to not bother with VA, though, and to just click through the second I finish reading the dialogue, except for lines in particularly dramatic parts of the story. Sometimes not even then. Just figure I’d offer a counter opinion especially since this thread is probably going to be full of people who always choose voice acting when it is an option, given the thread is all about it. I am glad so many people derive joy from it, just because it is Not For Me doesn’t mean I think it’s Bad And Worthless :)
