Something I remember is Jay Z and Rihanna I think buying an ugly house and people realized it’s a possible apocalypse bunker.
Like if WW3 starts of if global warming gets worse.
Basically, people whose jobs is to entertain the masses get protection before scientists, engineers and doctors or anyone that could find ways to make mankind live a little bit longers.
(Or actually contribute to society).
At the same time, these celebrities rely on the masses.
So think of weird guys that believe in conspiracy theories and hate celebrities because they think they’re glow-in-the-dark alien reptoids.
All the lowest common denominator type masses die while dudes that think Hollywood is full of Satanic aliens survive somewhere in a bunker.
But I guess famous people don’t need to produce music at that stage.
GTAV
If Rockstar wanted, they could easily add a “Youtuber/streamer mode” for GTAV where characters say words like “unalive” and shit.
Probably set it by default too.
Link
Bullshit theory I thought of is that Link’s recent designs are because of Nintendo wanting him to look less like Peter Pan.
This is mainly because, due to their patents and themeparks, Nintendo wants to be the Disney of videogames and is probably aware that even Disney can still bite them in the ass.
Though Donkey Kong is still a gorilla with Kong in the name but whatever.
On Kojima
Everyone does these memes about Kojima being the sole creator of his games and always getting credit even though:
- There was stuff like The Making of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
- Pretty sure MGS2 even had a menu where you could see the people behind the game
- Kojima wasn’t that into “a game by Hideo Kojima” at some point
- MGSV only had the credits in missions because of Konami removing his name in the box art
- MGS Survive having easter eggs about some devs missing him and then there’s how others left Konami to work with him
Maybe I’m getting details wrong but I also think it’s worth address: While games are a team effort, there’s still the director who comes up with most ideas and controls everything.
This isn’t new, since it’s common in so many mediums.
So basically, you could make the same Kojima jokes with Stanley Kubrick or Martin Scorsese or any other director of most stuff.
“Wow dude, David Lynch did everything even played the actors himself lol”.
Nobody does that because other people would look at you like an idiot but videogames are a nerdier medium that wasn’t taken as seriously.
