Well now that Hogwarts is free on Epic (for today) I decided to give her a go
Only to discover I'd bought it (on sale) a few months ago
With difficulty dropped to "Story" I can handle it, a pleasant surprise
Anyway, we'll see how my kind, trusty, somewhat dull niece Violet Kipp handles things

Not namin' names, but the new car ad with staff looking down on Santa?
"You only check it twice? Huh."
On the surface, innocent humorous ad
But really?
Exposes a culture of arrogance and smug ageism that seriously rubs this grumpy old man wrong
"Old ways (and folk) are useless and wrong"

Once upon a time, when I got my anime on bootleg VHS fansubs (Hi Anna!), there was a short series called Dragon Half
A very funny parody of jest about everything burdening the minds of teenage boys
Jest came across this to remind me
Anyone else remember?

This one didn't have weird AI visuals, but...

Among the many ads I hate on YT, the HB ads... I don't hate
Not only do they have a quick-paced montage of the monthly games offerings, but also original music (afaik)
Key point, they are updated every month so they don't get too old
