That's the journey I went on. The phrae "skibidi toilet" started happening around me, and so I looked up what it was, and I understood it immediately. It's SFM Youtube poop. I was there 3000 years ago when that was invented, I remember nope.avi and pootis.
I find two things remarkable though: 1, SFM is still relevant after all these years and 2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of "stupid video about singing heads in toilets."
I got the fact that it's a SFM YouTube poop after I looked it up. I get why the kids like it and they keep making more. It's all very cozy and internet.
What I don't get is corpos trying to put skibidi toilet into things. I get why they're doing, child money. But like how do you integrate something as abstract and absurd into your own IP? But like in a way that kids will still think it's cool and not like dumb corpos trying to get on the bandwagon. Or maybe it's not working and we're just hearing about the attempts before they fail.
I don't hate Fortnite in and of itself, but I do really hate how because of its success, damn near all multiplayer FPS games have become some kind of Fortnite knock-off battle royale.
I mean atleast recently there haven't been a lot of new battle Royale games. I haven't seen a new big battle Royale game in a while, at most you get shooter games having a battle Royale game mode on top of the normal game modes they have.
I, on the other hand, would like to happily inform everyone that I still don't know what this is beyond seeing those words together, and if I play my cards right, I might never!
Skibidi Toilet is a series of short form videos using assets from Garry's Mod and/or Source Film Maker. It features the camera heads (protagonists) fighting the toilet heads (antagonists). The toilets can be defeated by flushing the toilet. The series features an escalation of violence and weapons on both sides along with at least one additional faction joining.
It's actually pretty good. Like a lot of things the youth are into it's their obsession with it that's annoying moreso than the content.
I played the very early single player Fortnite when I was messing around with unreal 4 back in the day. I thought “this is cool” and never played it again, and now it’s one of the biggest games in the world I never saw it coming.
Internet is weird for people who only stick to message board type social media like lemmy and reddit, and avoid account focused social media like tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, threads, etc.
Similar target audiences right? I’m ok with this, I’m glad that kids have games to look forward to like when I was young. Just because ST isn’t for me doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for the people who will be happy with this.
It’s just getting wierd because people can cash in on it easily.
Yep, I remember the old South Park episode about "Internet Dollars" something like 15 years old, and suddenly, people are figuring out how to do just that.
Seems like the best strategy don't you think? There are no real pros to pushing a pointless copyright claim and only negatives would come from doing so.
These kids seem way more into horror than I've ever seen. I was really surprised to hear how my cousin's kids adored a freaky one called Poppy Playtime.
How on earth is this confusing? Skibidi toilet is like one of the biggest memes right now. Fortnite has practically everyone and everything in it nowadays.
It would require them to individually custom animate every face's 3D mesh to it's absolute extremes.
If it were to be implemented properly it would probably have to be available only for the default skins and a small selection of popular skins. And that's if they even have the tools ready to push facial animations like that at all, idk if there are limits to the current rigging that would need to be addressed, idk how they'd do it tbh.
