when men are bloody (the crowd claps)….. when men are sobbing messes with tear stained cheeks and red rimmed eyes (the crowd goes yippee and woohoo)….. when men writhe and squirm on the ground in pain (crowd goes wild and people cry tears of joy)!!

Exploration of the now-offline Far Cry 5 official websites
Part 1: Game Announcement
Recovered content
The first time the American version of the official Far Cry 5 website was archived on the Wayback Machine was on May 24th, 2017. Here is a screenshot of what we could see on the home (and only) page:
Subscribe on YouTube now and be the first to watch the Announcement Video on May 26th.
The embedded video was the Teaser Trailer (posted by Ubisoft North America on YouTube on May 22nd), a compilation of the four Welcome to Hope County videos (see #1, #2, #3, and #4) that were released the same day on the worldwide Ubisoft Channel:
As for the Announcement Video they mentioned and that was posted on May 26th, it is this one:
The next time the website was archived was the following day, on May 27th, and more information about the game and its characters appeared.
Commentary
I don’t have much to say about this for the moment, except maybe that I think Eden’s Gate looked a bit scarier and more dangerous in these first trailers than in the game. It’s not the first time we see early content that suggests their violence was slightly toned down as the development of the game progressed, and there are other pieces of evidence that support this theory on the old websites.
Part of what Joseph says in the Announce Trailer can still be heard in a sermon in Far Cry 5, but unlike what the subtitles indicate, the first person who speaks (and says, “We must Atone”) is actually John.

not showing the @ for obvious reasons.
But GOD is this take stupid. YES it sucks so fucking bad tumblr is probably actually dying for real this time
But this:
"SEE, this is why you should have accepted the dumb changes and be nice to (at time hostile to its users) staff!! Thats why there were changes to make tumblr more like other social medias!!!"
This makes my blood boil. So we cant complain about how things were doing bad??? What? stfu
Not to mention a social media playing catch up with others that innovated and got their boom in users for that will never succeed. I dont understand how ppl make this argument, its so stupid. that is NOT how a social media stays relevant???
Tumblr was never a money cow and it will never be. The people that bought it wanted money and nothing else. They dont care, and actually at times discourage its community focus.
It would be incredibly harder to apply this model to tumblr, im aware, but to me the model that always made more sense for the site was wikipedias/AO3s. You dont need to sell shit. Just a voted in board and donations. And to be clear: I would NOT donate to tumblr in its current state. rn it is for profit and all the money it generates its to maximize it. not to make the site better for us.

"the kiss had no romance at all and i hope it never happens again bc aziraphale and crowley are celestial beings and they're above all of that" is actually a take that i had to read with my own eyes. how do we have people in 2023 attempting to DISPROVE a canon romance where the two characters literally kissed on the mouth. what reality is this. where am i.

fun fact one of the underhang balls just detached and fucking fell into the memory crypts by the time rivulet shows up, theres even yellow lizards that still hang out in it
Are you gonna get mad at me if I told you I’ve never been to memory crypts with Riv. I think my least explored map is with Riv.
Please show me though! I only know the place is full of rot?? And that’s badass and horrifying!!

It bugs me when a writer creates something based heavily upon their own experiences with something- disability, race, sexuality, gender etc. etc.- and then people will review it like "I'm not [insert identity here], but this just didn't feel believable to the experiences of the ____ community".
