Post memes here.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

TranscriptionSpiderman (from the hit Sam Raimi movie Spiderman 2) standing on the right holding a finger up in the air reprimandingly.

A dialogue bubble coming out of him on the left that says "Don't talk to me or my family unless you've watched Arcane".

Arcane is a beautifully animated 2-season-long Netflix show with phenomenal character writing, immersive world building and a noteworthy soundtrack. It's about to air its final episodes this weekend and as a certified nobody, I highly recommend watching it.

Don't talk to me or my family unless you've never played League of Legends

I looked into it because the show is so amazing. The game does not look amazing. It looks boring, frustrating, and basic.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that ain't it. Lots of games just arent good, noting special about that.

I looked it up and the game earns over a billion dollars per year! So, I don't think we need to worry about it dying any time soon.

Yes, the cursed cycle is still a tight loop, with every containment breach new measures are implemented.

I kind of wish this beautiful animation, huge effort, high budget and excellent storytelling hadn't been the product of a fucking Riot game. That company, its business model and its players are so toxic the success of the Arcane series feels hollow to me.

I played the game once and immediately dropped it, but Arcane had me gripped all the way through. The people who worked on the show absolutely deserve the praise.

It's an honest recommendation from a human, and I wholeheartedly agree with the message. It's the best TV I've seen since The Last of Us.

I also highly recommend watching it! The fight scenes are awesome and the animation is soooo fluid. Such a good example of adapting a game’s world to a series

I watched the Linkin Park video. Does that count?

I hate that it has characters that do a lot of stupid things, just like real people.

The combat scenes are awesome though.

Any way to purchase the series instead? I canceled Netflix when they added a subscription tier that shows ads to people who pay.

I don’t want to support a streaming service whose customers are advertisers instead of viewers.

Torrentio, my dude.

There are multiple physical releases for the first season but you'll have to use alternative means for the second season for now
