The respect he had for the other tributes. The grave he made for the fallen tributes. He was completely exposed and could have been killed by anyone, but recognizing those kids and respecting them the way they deserve was more important to him. The way he tore down the symbol of the government that was supposed to protect them, and used it to cover the bodies of the kids it failed so badly. His calm demeanor. The love he had for his sick and fragile district partner. The love he had for Wovey. The way he protected those gentle souls the best he could. He didn't even try to fight. He knew he wasn't going to kill any of these kids. He's the original revolution. He wasn't going to play the capitol's games. He didn't let them turn him into something he's not. He is everything good.
Dropout is great because while on a traditional network nowadays you would have one knockout concept and be done with it never revisiting it again dropouts like “okay we love doing that now let’s do it AGAIN and AGAIN and make it BETTER and more COOL and more ENJOYABLE and let’s keep doing it until our hearts tell us to stop and we love doing it so that might be never so long as we’re passionate about it” and that’s so fucking cool, in an era of commodified creativity the enthusiastic passion for the arts that drives dropout is not only refreshing but heartwarming and cathartic as a fellow creative who would love to have the chance to do what I love to do like that.
The aspiring 12 year old youtuber from gaza was killed by Israeli forces. He started his YouTube channel years ago inspired by the famous gaming youtuber in this video. His dream was to reach 100k subscribers, but his dream was stolen since he got killed at the 8th of October due to the Israeli bombardment on gaza. Now, he has more than 800k subscribers after his story has been shared which means his dream came true, he just isn't there to witness it. We are not numbers, share our stories, remember that we lived and we wanted to live to the fullest.
The youtuber finds that Awni was his biggest fan and he contacted him more than once, and that he opened his YouTube channel inspired by him. This is heartbreaking.
holds your face so fucking gently please leave reviews for indie games. please. every single review legit counts, especially if the game is small enough, and you don't even gotta say much if that's the problem!!
like, anything from a long ramble to a simple 'it was good' matters, because steam (and probably also the Other Ones) uses an algorithm. so the more reviews, the more exposure, the more money the dev team gets. like, please. please. leave a review. throw your small indie dev team a bone
Matpat is leaving Game Theory and I'm just sitting here reheating pizza and listening to his goodbye video and I'm just
I'm hearing him talk about the channel and his viewers and I'm not angry at him for leaving, I'm just so glad he was here to make the things he has. I hope whatever direction the Theory channels go in are good ones.
