in gta online, when you would change DJs at your club (to refill the popularity meter quickly), they would play this little cut scene of whatever DJ you pick coming out to a cheering crowd under flashing lights and starting a set. it lasts maybe 20 seconds, but after a dozen times its annoying.
i wish they had allowed us to create a custom DJ and choreograph that scene and its music. not even to show other people, but for our own personal amusement.
there was a playstation pro wrestling game that let us create a wrestler, define their moves, and even create/choreograph a whole entrance scene for their character… which was extremely hilarious to me and my friend on the couch when our two glistening, hideous lunks would come out to weird clown music, dancing bizarrely but completely serious in speedos.
all that to say, i wish more games allowed more custom shit. even if no one else sees it, it would amuse me to no end to string together all the worst choices available into something upsetting.
I need customization to a limit. When it gets too detailed, I get trapped in the editor and never play the game.
Still, mad respect for the people who make and share super detailed liveries in Forza and similar games.
creating absolute monsters in the character creation screens is peak this. NO HALF SLIDERS
Something I really hate is how the Democracy Manifest guy turned out to be a neo-Nazi. Real Milkshake Duck hours.
whaa? you sure?

According to the 2023 biography Carnage: A Succulent Chinese Meal, Mr. Rent-a-Kill and the Australian Manson Murders, at least. Jack Karlson was a victim of child sexual abuse and really terrible child abuse more generally when he was in the care of Blackheath Presbyterian Boys’ Home as a teenager, which I think is an important bit of context for how he ended up becoming a neo-Nazi: he was thoroughly traumatized as a kid, turned to a life of petty crime, and in true Lumpenproletarian fashion became a reactionary. This is how I understand it, at least.
It should go without saying that this doesn’t excuse his Nazism, though. There are obviously many victims of CSA who don’t grow up to paint Hakenkreuze on their cars and say “two Heil Hitlers” instead of “three cheers”.
