#literally what was this dream

[harper-dearest]

I had this very strange dream last night, but, being honest, it was one of my best dreams ever.

(Slight spoilers for Nope under the cut)

I was watching Nope for the first time, but this time it was in a movie theater, not at home. It played out normally, still terrifying, perhaps some details and scenes were fucked up because dreams do that, but then the credits roll.

I remember I was crying because of the last scene when they finally kill Jean Jacket and OJ is in the distance, looking back at Em. The screen goes black and it's silent, and then a microphone is tapped and Jupe of all people speaks, short and single name credits start rolling, the screen still black.

Now, I don't remember exactly what he said, so I'm gonna have to romanticize and fill in a few gaps, but he said something along the lines of this:

"Hello? Okay, uh.. Well, welcome to the Star Lasso Experience! Now, the original plan for this show was to show you all a discovery I made, but it kinda disappeared, heh. So, instead of that, I suppose it's about time I try singing again!"

"I assume some of you remember this one scene in Kid Sheriff, where Jupiter sings to distract [typical villain in a western kids show], yeah? Well, that was actually the first time I ever sang in front of a large crowd, even after training for months. I was really scared, but the people loved it, so I thought I should try singing again today. So, without further ado, I dedicate this cover to my gorgeous wife, Amber. I'd dedicate this to my kids and lovely staff, but it's a love song, so.."

Jupe and the crowd chuckle. I started thinking "Weird way to roll credits, but okay, I guess."

The black screen becomes an animation of the view of a sunset from atop a hill, with a view of the Haywoods' house and Jupiter's Claim, the credits are less vague and more specific. Jupe exhales shakily, and starts singing Cannonball by Kiesza throughout the credits.

Such a weird fever dream, I want Steven Yeun to cover Cannonball now, I'd listen to that on loop for YEARS if it existed lmao

This is the song in case anyone's curious:

Folks talking about Game Devs dropping Unity or how it won't hurt small indie devs with under 200,000. Are missing the point.

Some of these Unity games can't change to another engine because they have years of code piled on top of each other at this point. aka POKEMON GO. They'd basically have to rebuild the game from scratch.

Not to mention Unity is mostly used by phone app games or Indie's that are lucky enough to get picked up by console. Indie games on Mobile easily pass 200,000 downloads. Temple Run 1 and 2 are in Unity, Crossy Road, Angry birds 1 and 2, and Hearthstone. All of these past 200,000 downloads years ago but aren't bringing in money now except hearthstone.

The Developers will do what happened to the first Angry birds app. They'll take it down, build it in a new engine for "HD", and add a shit ton of micro transactions. We are about to lose countless original versions of the OG pre lootbox mobile games.

We are also about to lose some of the biggest Indie games of the last decade. Among Us, Plague Inc., 7 Days to die, the original Slenderman game and it's sequel, I am Bread, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dream Daddy, Overcooked 1 & 2, Pathfinder online, Cup Head, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Oxygen Not Included, Bloons Tower Defense 6, Beat Saber, Subnautica, The Stanley Parable, Untitled Goose Game, Power Washing Simulator, Fall Guys, Inscryption, Phasmophobia

And the big one FUCKING HOLLOW KNIGHT. Silk song has already been pushed back out of this year specifically because it's being made by a team of like 3 people. It is so close to being finished and now they are being told they have to start over from scratch basically. Hollow Knight got over 200,000 downloads from being on playstation and was eventually put on Playstations subscription service. Every cent they made from hollow knight has gone back into making silk song. Which might now be delayed by multiple years and oh they are going to have to use some of that funds to pay unity now. Or find a way to get out of a contract with playstation. Because folks will keep downloading Hollow Knight for free and Unity will send the Hollow Knight team the bill.

oh and there's one more teeny tiny game made in Unity that you guys might not want to suddenly disappear. One with almost 3 years of monthly code updates, one with 139 million downloads to date, and 4.8 million monthly users.

Genshin. Guys Genshin Impact is made completely in Unity and that's not a game that can have it's code just copy and pasted to another engine.

I think forgetting about dream studio in the second film was a mistake. It has so much potential!

i'm in one of those phases where i really wish i believed in manifesting and spellcasting and things like that bc you know when you want something so bad you're literally praying for the universe to let it happen
