  • Maybe statistically even a bad ad skews the population on average? I wouldn’t say the examples you’ve provided would work on me, or anyone conscious of advertising in general. Unless that can be proven in some way, I refuse to believe that the excuses advertisers tell to justify their existence are true.

    The only advertising that I know for sure works on me is SEO and search result manipulation. If I need a suit, I’ll search for places and usually will end up with whatever’s closest or in my price range. The power Google has over that decision is significant.

    But let’s be real, seeing and making fun of some awkward store window decals on lemmy is not a significant deciding factor for anything.














  • I’ll throw in a few that I enjoyed (all pc with a controller):

    Hollow knight (probably the common favorite). Fun gameplay, interesting story, felt like a great entry into the genre as someone who didn’t like them previously.

    Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Really interesting farming mechanics to unlock new skills and fun combat. I think I liked this one mostly for the gameplay and don’t remember the story much.

    Grime. This one felt really, really clunky at first. However, like most games in the genre, it really picked up at one point and I enjoyed the whole experience. I think there were some sections that really dragged on but overall a fun game with interesting movement, mechanics, and enemies.
