2019, the year I cry at wrap party footage

I watched the Fraggle Rock wrap party videos the other day and they're funny and bittersweet. Here's the video they played at said party: https://youtu.be/YdTllMTdBYQ and here's the live-action performance part (a few minutes in): https://youtu.be/C3kUKjym1nw

Mara kept calling it Puke Park when 20% of guests complained about stepping in sick, but we got those numbers down baby (added more trash cans by the exits)

My biggest issue with the game (aside from a few control complaints and the fact that you can't make a male avatar have longer hair) is that a) figuring out what theming guests like is ??? and b) the animatronics don't really link together, so the cowboy riding a gator doesnt move with the gator's wild snaps.

I'm rambly so I better get out the cut here, but yeah Planet Coaster is really fun (although I haven't played scenario mode, just sandbox) though I'm finding it really hard to keep theft down in my park. I think 7% of guests get robbed, whoops.

There's a flatride in the park no one goes on and I've tried EVERYthing to get people to ride it, including adding animatronics (snakes, skeletons, crows, alligators). No dice, everyone wants the train!

I've had to readjust the queue for this ride 3 times and added 6 more trains because it keeps filling up! I have no idea why everyone loves it, the only interesting part is the cars that explode when the train hits them and some scenery. Planet Coaster is a mystery to me.....

Been fiddling around with Planet Coaster for fun and I regret to inform you that my most popular ride is a slow-moving train that plays MacArthur Park.

*disabled person, not disabled ppl, but yeah. Game's got a real sharp understanding of the Dynamics of virtual online spaces.

And I like that it doesn't infantilize or place these people on a pedestal either. God help me but it's nice to see a portrayal of a disabled ppl online that lets them be "cringy" or whatever while still empathizing with 'em (thinking of that Noble Celtic Warrior here)

Oh i also like that a lot of the people using Hypnospace were isolated or disabled (or both), because it feels like a lot of media doesn't acknowledge the large population of disabled/isolated people using virtual worlds as a community gathering space (see: most reporting about SL)

God that part where they consolidate all the nerd communities, so the users make their own unique space, then that space gets shut-down and later brought back as something co-opted was so good. Reminds me of YouTube crowing about new choose-your-own-adventure stuff after they kill annotations.
