TikTok is a Cultural mirror, more so for the younger generation than older, but quite universal overall.

There are a lot of Non-English Memes that come from TikTok, and that means more avenues of Creativity for non-Western Countries, which is why Asians enjoy the visibility they attain from the platform, not to mention a means to gain fame and money.

Additionally, I've noticed from the WhatsApp Groups of professionals older than me, that most of their shared Memes are exported TikTok videos, especially from the Mainland; many of my professional peers are South East Asian Huaren so it is a way for them to connect with their Mainland Culture if they don't visit often.

Looked it up yesterday and went to the site. It seems like an ultra-distilling of amateur entertainment. I found a lot of it quite funny. Some of it a bit horrifying. Don't think I need to see a morbidly obese chick dancing around in tights. :huh:

But I kinda liked the idea of the app/site.

I'm 24 and too old, apparently. Most of it wasn't that funny and a lot of it was cringe. That being said, I could see it being appealing in the same way that people like to mindlessly scroll through r/all on reddit and see goodness knows what for fun.

It's just a way for people to express themselves from what I can gather. I don't use it but I'm not going to begrudge someone who finds it fun. It's important to have fun however you can find it. I can think that and still be concerned about the CCP influence though.

No, really. I know all those backdoor stuffs and all, but It just isn't funny at all to me. I do get some tik tok viral compilations in my youtube shorts feed- They make me turn off my youtube and get back to whatever I was doing. quite effective in that way I'd say.

And no, I'm a teenager. even as a teen those videos are just cringe to me.

It's a big old meh for me, it's a cesspool of 5 second videos, some good, some bad, mostly cringe. I usually only go on it if my friend (who uses it) sends me something on there. I swear I'm not a degenerate.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
