Venue/club advertisements have become a massive nuisance

What perfect timing for a Weird Film Week. Ichi the Killer is back on Amazon Prime, so I dedicate tonight to watching it again after so many years. Thank you for the other recs!

Going to dig this up a bit but... This also applies to FC advertisements.

People get so upset when I say this but please, restrain yourselves. One advertisement per 5 minutes. I vented about seeing not two, not three but four back to back shout advertisements(admittedly by different people) for the same FC. I was promptly given the "oh you're so negative and mean" slap on the wrist and it just bothers me.

Why is it so hard for you all to accept some semblance of modesty? No one's asking you to stop advertising altogether. This applies to anyone advertising anything in the shout chat. Just limit yourselves a tiny, tiny bit. I go to RP venues, I sometimes check out the events hosted in shout chats(hunt trains are sometimes announced there), and I sometimes even check out the discords of different FCs if they're provided. I enjoy them, but I don't enjoy seeing the same one spammed in my face.

During COVID, because people weren't able to go out and socialize as they normally would have, they started congregating in night club/dance club venues. Before this there was a greater relative variety of venues that were primarily used by RPers. Ever since COVID, and possibly Preach's hours' long stream of a big club event, they now tend to be the dominant form of venue the general populace visit. Because the bigger ones also tend to hire real DJs over Twitch or other platforms, there's generally strong motivation to get a large audience, hence the ad spamming.

Why someone would book real DJs for a club in 14 is beyond me, coming from someone who used to throw raves and book DJs from across the world. I really don't understand what they stand to gain unless they're charging actual cash for those specific events because booking an actual famous DJ is not cheap. I know other games do have real musicians and groups come to perform there but theyre charging CASH to see it.

I mean, fair enough if someone has deep pockets and doesn't care about blowing hundreds to thousands on someone but...is gil really worth that? Or are venues now expecting people to shell out money to afk?

personally, i don’t mind venues being advertised in shout (though i wish they kept it to one message and not in parts) as long as it isn’t spammed. what annoys me is when they literally flood PF. one per venue is enough. why does one venue need 4+ ads? honestly, the more ads it has makes it seem more desperate to the point i wouldn’t ever go lol.

I don't understand it either, but I do know none of the places I've visited have charged anything to get in. Just because someone's an actual DJ doing actual music (not just a playlist superhero) doesn't mean they're good enough to charge tons of money. I wouldn't pay actual money or even Gil to get into an event with one of these people. After the first couple I've stopped going to their streams and just put on my own play list. My guess is they're small-time DJs looking for exposure or are hobbyists in it for the money they get from Twitch.

Some are pretty long too. Entire paragraphs long. Which easily clutters the chat window :x

And I get that they have to be appealing... But often people just find them cringeworthy, and at worst an outright nuisance. Especially the ones that follow you into the next area xD

Well any of the foreign Superhero movies are going to be great. I'm sure most have seen the dance number that Indian Superman/Spiderwoman did. Also anything from Bollywood is pretty much gold.

Another movie to check out is DeCAMPatated. Think Friday the 13th meets Looney Toons.

I never understood what these venues are so hyped about. If you want to listen to a DJ play music go to a real night club
