It’s kinda fun for the one time I did it. It’s like a writing challenge and your judge is the Internet. Most of the time they can’t get it right.

Hey, I’m sure this gets asked in this thread all the time, but I checked the OP and there was nothing there. I’m thinking of giving the old video essayist game a go - can anyone recommend any guides or advice on how to go about that? Mainly the technical side of it, though any help would be appreciated.

Terrible Opinions posted:I think a lot of it comes down to how easy it is for a higher quality fanfiction to just change the names and other obvious bits to make an original piece of fiction and not bother to keep it associated as fanfiction. Whereas even the highest quality mod will have difficulty disguising that it's built from another game's bones. Leaving aside the fact that many quite distinct games get created with the same "bones" (namely, the engine), you have heard of Counter-Strike, right?

Solochat in spoilers: From a few pages back but what are folks reactions to RLM's take on L6 from Solo? I actually winced when the phrase 'Social Justice Droid' popped up. I think I do agree with their assessment that she is meant to be a comedy character/parody of a equality activist - but I don't think the joke comes off as mean-spirited. She's prolly my fave new character and far from the 'Worst Star Wars Character Ever' as Jay (IIRC) put it. I think the ability to laugh at yourself is pretty crucial and L6 covers that.

Funnily enough I don't think this has ever been asked in this thread. Er well some people in thread have recommended editing software in the past, and the thread consensus is that gimmicks suck and are distracting, you don't have to chase after pop culture zeitgeist so long as your subject is a genuine passion for you then issue can be ironed out with time and practice. You don't have to show your face if you don't want to, being comfortable with your own style is also important.

The consensus from people who have done it and posted about it is to just find something you're passionate about and do videos until you get a feel for how you want them to be, and that you should especially not worry about being awful for a long time while you work it out. The other thing is that it's purely something you do for fun or personal satisfaction in terms of any possible income--nobody makes any money from it other than a few in relatively special circumstances that can't be replicated any longer. And any niche that develops moving forward will probably be filled instantly by Fine Bros.-style soulless vampires from business school.

Innuendo Studios has another Alt-Right Playbook on "The Death of a Euphamism", in which he gets into when right-wing coded language drops the mask and becomes blatant bigotry. RebelTaxi has a new one on lost cartoon merchandise including a cartoon trailer for a kids martial arts franchise that looks like its animation came from Bruce Timm and a million dollar replica of the Kids Next Door clubhouse.

It makes me feel really good that the alt-right playbook series seems less and less relevant to my daily life every time the next one comes out. I was scared shitless when the first video came out and now the threat seems positively quaint. The series is still extremely valuable because so many people use rhetoric like that in their daily lives, though.

KayTee posted:Solochat in spoilers: I don't give much credence to this, but there is the idea that it's a parody of Kathleen Kennedy specifically (though that's probably just channer poo poo). They've talked in the past about how the directing and starring roles for the Star Wars movies keep going to white people, with characters played by people of color being on the sidelines comparatively. So I suppose they assumed it's meant to make fun of what they see as her hypocrisy, although I have not seen the film so I can't really judge the character for myself. That seems to be what they presented, unless I misread something in the video. But then they were talking about Social Justice Droid and I winced really god drat hard.

SteelMentor posted:Legit groaned out loud and shut the video off at that. Last thing I want in my leisure time is to listen for a bunch of cis white guys get really mad about that kinda poo poo. They seem to think it's pandering to the anti-SJW crowd by poking fun at the robot, if that helps at all. Not to push an writer's agenda of any sort, but in an attempt at topical reference humour. The discussion did still have undertones of "even if it's meant to be positive, it would be inadvertently harming the cause by being obnoxious. We were glad when the dumb feminist robot died." It's similar to their Ghostbusters review. They don't say anything truly objectionable or factually wrong, you just get this sense of "for gently caress's sake, what is productive about dwelling on this? Please talk about something else" while watching. It's also evident in the tone taken when discussing Black Panther, a film they like. They focus on the fact that social issues are being co-opted to market movies, which is a valid point, but they always do it in a way that feels smug as gently caress towards people who enjoy it (who they assume are totally unaware it is only being featured to make money for a corporation). It's not out of step with the cynicism they show towards everything else, though. Though Jay said it was the worst character since Jar-Jar, not the worst ever.

I can't wait for Battlefield V to come out so I can make my avatar a black woman and piss nerds off. The best form of harvesting internet salt is the one that requires the least effort. Its funny how much people who go "friend of the family lolololol u mad u mad triggered" get mad and triggered themselves over something so simple. E: Also saying "It disrespects those who fought the battle" as they make another meme of a war crime.

I mean ffs Battlefield spent a long stretch of time being an absurd Tom Clancy wet dream about a non-nuclear WW3 and it’s always been an arcadey non-realistic shooter. If you want to cry realism then go play Arma or Red Orchestra. It’s super telling that people will accept ridiculous James Bond/Tom Clancy garbage and various abstractions for the sake of gameplay but one lady in a strange costume is a bridge too far.
