to everyone who thinks opera gx is “chinese spyware”, here’s an independent and reputable article about how that’s not true: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/information-security/is-opera-gx-spyware/
it’s good to be skeptical of youtube sponsors sometimes, but this rumor has been blown way out of proportion by videos like “OPERA GX IS A CHINESE VIRUS…”
if you’re this concerned about privacy, you’d be better off avoiding the internet as a whole
y'know an smp thats not scripted is the Remix SMP its a fire smp
Insane video as always!
sdmp is peak smp
big man schlagg is peak
this is some FIRE editing icl.
Nice video, but for smps without scripts are usually way too chaotic or doesn't have a plot or makes sense. If a smp's story makes too much sense, they are probably loosely scripted since real life likely wont work like that.
no content smp mention 🙁
6:40 Never in a million years could I have expected the Bloons SMP to be shown on here (my smp 😭)
welp at least unstable tells us that it's scripted. also unstable is now only 1 hour long
huge fan of the chicory music
I'm just waiting on Parrot's next videos/movie. I'm loving the story
Yea unstable aint an smp thats a live action movie series lol
I heard danse macabre. Omg
4:47 I believe ownership was actually transferred because mapicc was abusing admin
I don't think Lifesteal smp is scripted is it ??? Tell me If I m wrong
w video
4:49 no it’s cuz mappic was admin abusing, but parrot still wanted to have a s2 so he js made it himswlf
7:17 lol
Yeah mindcrack still exists, Ethoslab was how I found mindcrack back in the day. Gosh I miss dwarves vs zombies, best mc gamemode
7:26 from my understanding parrot first tried making movie style videos with planetlord on a channel called "the cusp" but cause youtube wouldn't monetize it due to it "lacking creativity" (or something like that, very dumb reason. He had a crashout about it on twitter) they decided to end it and then after that parrot posted the first unstable smp video. So unstable smp wasn't his first scripted video
This is why I like the PSMP
OperaGX is a pretty big scam, i don't blame you for trying to make some profit though,
1: most features you mentioned aren't real, it doesn't reduce ram, and it doesn't even block ads in most cases, 2: you can do all of this in google, 3: operaGX is a chrome UI overhaul, its still google, just worse with a bunch of placebos put in it, 4: operaGX is known for having a past of selling their stuff on malware sites, and download grouping,
-tldr: its literally just chrome with a different UI and some extensions added, it doesn't actually reduce ram or cpu or anything, your comparison wasn't fair either, AND THE REASON THEY CAN SPONSOR YOU IS BECAUSE THEY SELL YOUR DATA! IF ITS FREE – YOU ARE THE PRODUCT,
It’s fun because they make money
I personally really enjoy these stories and I'm glad they actually say it's scripted
My issue with the unstable videos are the fact that rather than a movie, they just feel like extra long smp videos with more structure plots and better pacing. They’re definitely not bad watches but they don’t feel like movies, them being over 3 hours just shows that.
They more feel like a shortcut to a movie, where you just write a script and do it. They barely use any b roll or creative ways to tell the story. The stories themselves are contained to the game rather than truly being a story. I don’t like how they basically try to trick you into thinking you’re seeing a movie when it’s more like a let’s play with a story
The stories themselves aren’t personal enough either imo, they’re kind of bland in the long run. Definitely better than smp videos; but you can’t expect monthly 3 hour videos to be perfect.
And producing movies is so much more work than these of videos, so they work for what their purpose is. But when you realize actual movies take anywhere from a year to 5+ years to produce, it’s easy to see why people don’t do that much.
They have to be shallow, but I always did wish they could be just a bit more “movie” like
reminds me of wrestling tbh. They're trying to keep the facade of it being real up but honestly they should just adopt the culture that wrestling has now: everyone knows its fake but they pretend its real to keep face with the kayfabe… which is kind of the direction they're going in! they should look at wrestling before them to see the future ahead
Why scripted just wing it and see how it goes
Very tasty
I got caught off guard by this sentence 😆 7:15
The Dream SMP was definitely NOT popular because of scripting. It's because it was named the "Dream SMP" and it had Dream, Technoblade, and Ph1lza on it.
