People on Facebook say it about everything they're nostalgic for. Longingly, lovingly

But I'm pretty sure "you had to be there" was originally an insult to a piece of art.

You're supposed to say that when it doesn't actually hold up if watched/played in the modern day

All right, content warning, this next section is where I have to actually say my real life opinions in order to improve my point

You didn't "have to be there" to enjoy Naruto part 1. I watched it for the first time when I was 20 in like 2017, and It's one of the best anime of its kind imo.

DBZ on the other hand seems like it's only really enjoyable if you started the series when you're 12 or under, when you have lower standards for what you expect from storytelling

You didn't "have to be there" to enjoy Star Fox 64 or Mario kart 64. I didn't play them until late high School and early adulthood, and imo they are still great games overall.

Halo 1 on the other hand seems extremely poorly designed. Me and my partner spent nearly an hour running around in circles in one section, because all of the corridors are exactly the same and the game lacks any conveyance as to where you're supposed to go next, (and he had actually played the game before, but he still didn't know where to go)

The people on Facebook will post collections of GameCube games or compilations of cartoon Network shows and unintentionally imply that this stuff sucks if you're not a nostalgia blind weirdo. NO, ACTUALLY SOME OF THE STUFF IS STILL VERY GOOD, STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE YOUNGER GENERATIONS THAT IT'S TERRIBLE

This is a very strange phenomenon, cuz it seems like for most of History people tried to force their kids to watch stuff that they grew up liking, now suddenly we are like "no, this was never good to begin with, but if you have the epic privilege of having been born at an exact point in time you will have access to wonder and whimsy beyond your wildest imagination. Too bad you were coincidentally born in a different decade, you pathetic creature, you were born with the fundamental deficiency of being able to understand Star Fox 64 😎" WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

I hate ai, I love ugly human-made art

Those exact same people when they think no one is looking:

Man this scene is trash this anime is washed this is completely unacceptable

I have all except for one line recorded for blood thing the button part 8 and 9

In the process of audio editing both parts. I'm doing both at once because I need to ensure that the pacing is going to be okay when this is edited into a final episode. Right now I'm hoping to do the audio editing and storyboarding for both first before I go into animation on part 8, but maybe I'll just do the audio. You never know what happens in the future, but if things stay as they have been you will most likely be able to see early work in progress cuts of these segments way in advance if you follow Hexen.

However I am spending more and more time trying to divest my eggs from this singular basket. Things are not looking good, The view counts are getting lower and lower, and I'm running out of ideas on how to advertise. I'm a little worried that at this point my audience consists entirely of people and friends with on facebook. I think people just have better options now and I'm not really able to compete with some of the other shows on the platform, it's just not good enough and I don't think it ever will be.

I'm working on two other projects, one is completely unachievable and probably will never come out, the other one is extremely achievable and as a high likelihood of coming out and probably being better received than blood thing if anyone ends up finding out about it. Unfortunately it's also an NSFW comic so I'm probably going to have to write it under a pseudonym and you'll never hear about it, except in context like these where I'm explaining why things are taking a while, due to me devoting more and more time to other things
