There's lots of good games on Twitch but you're pretty much on your own in terms of community-building, unlike Steam.
There's also loads and loads of trash people have to sift through to find anything decent, so marketing the game is what will help it succeed, not discovery on the platform.

FWIW I use the same approach as above, but have start & end frequency as separate vars in addition to a strength fadeout. So the shake speed can slow down as it fades out.

That's a fair assessment. As a fan of that kind of movie I was fine with it $50mil is pretty small for two whole movies (and some fun/bad fake trailers).

Death Proof did what it set out to do, and I can't really blame him for the other half.
You've got me on Morales, but he took a decade (and other writers) to become interesting, and Ironheart is just (IMO) a really lame character.
I'm partially with him on Dano, but I wouldn't call him the worst.

I mean... only one of those three people has made absolute gold with every project they've worked on (outside of the Fortnite nonsense that I haven't seen). I can't think of the last time Liefeld made anything worthwhile, and Bendis is kind of middle of the road at best...

Haven't tried their posters yet, but their clothing/mugs/bags are solid.

Don't discount the other main reason: being mean on social media is the only way some people can run their click bait grifts.
