#shovelware — Public Fediverse posts

Watched the last episode of #DeadLikeMe last night, and watched the direct-to-DVD movie early this morning.

The final episode was a nice capper to the series, although it left a lot of questions unanswered (understandably, though).

The movie (Dead Like Me: #LifeAfterDeath)?

Absolute #shovelware. It did not make a lick of sense, whatsoever. The new actor played Daisy Adair with all of the subtlety of a dump truck, Henry Ian Cusick's talents were wasted on a character with zero perceptible motivation, Roxy somehow lost all of her street smarts in an instant after schmoozing with the police commissioner, and while George's character got some nice closure (although not entirely believable), the whole thing felt really off and bewildering.

I think the only character that was fully true to the original was Mason, my personal favorite. Pretty hard to mess up a character that's already so utterly morally bankrupt 🤣

But overall the character development for George, her mom, and her sister was nice. I'm thankful Joy finally became a tolerable character in the last view episodes. I kinda wanted to slap her throughout the first season. Just very typical unhappy wife schlock. She was actually likeable and sympathetic in the movie.

Also the #Palm #Treo product placement in #2009 was hilarious.

But yeah, don't ask me to summarize the plot, because I really couldn't find it. Nothing made a lick of sense.

Not direct quotes, but they could have been:

"Oh man, he gave us these new high-tech smartphones, but he gave me some bad info. I need to get a hold of him. I wonder HOW!!!"
"You're such an evil person, because all you care about is money, even though you're treating us to this really lavish lifestyle, and you're not actually making money from any of this... this is so confusing, we're going to kill you!"

This could very well be the worst movie I've seen, omitting things seen on #MysteryScienceTheatre3000 and Christian #glurge films like "God's Not Dead." (Christian Pop-Eschatology movies deserve their own category in the lowest circle of hell, appropriately enough)

Every #SoftwareDeveloper makes #lowQuality #Software but their Reason for making it changes how morally good the #Project is.

If the Goal is to get #Money and/or #Attention fast, the Project is bad — #Slop or #Shovelware.

If the Goal is to #practice and #experiment for creating much better Software, that’s good and important.
The #Word for such Software is #Prototype; that sounds too unknown, so **i like to call it #Practiceware.**

If it comes this far then this might very well ring in the Temu Age of games.

I mean - If games in the scale of Zelda can soon be thrown together by 10 person teams with AI taking care of all the dialogue etc...
Then why should I pay the 79,90€ Metal Gear Remake or Mario Kart World are asking now, then?
If it's not worth your time then it shouldn't be worth my money, should it?

If there's one #gaming series I just continue to give reprieve to, amongst all the #shovelware, #liveservices and #AAA wankery, it's the #Yakuza series.

#SEGA proves that as a publisher they can churn out fun games that aren't exploiting the user, that gives you enjoyable characters like #Kiryu and #Majima, along with satisfying game mechanics and the slew of mini games.

Of course the real reason you pay $60 is to play #Mahjong as Majima. That alone sinks it.
