What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

Liefeld's pretty much known all throughout the industry as a huge douche who's also literally never on time with submissions, he's another guy that gets away with it because he's too integral to that fondly remembered XXXTREME era of comics and was responsible for creating at least a few good characters that've lasted. And then there's Bloodpool, Bloodstrike and Bloodwulf. When people make jokes about DEATHMEAT AND BLOODGUN they're not exaggerating that far.

I am kinda amused/sadded that alot of the rumors i heard from those old chan posts, is probably true.

Basically all of those old stories are made up out of whole cloth by somebody claiming to be the "sound guy" on Kickassia, which if you know literally anything about the budget and production quality of the anniversary movies disproves those accounts instantly. If anything about them turned out to be accurate, it's more likely a coincidence.

In the one I read, the writer identified themselves as having been “hired mostly to help out with production sound but ended up just doing odd jobs on set”. Supposedly this was because they didn’t have a proper microphone to use.

Not that that proves or disproves it in any way (it's 4chan, so odds are it's still bullshit), but it does amuse me to think of them going to the trouble of hiring a sound specialist because we're making a professional movie damnit without even understanding what exactly one does or what equipment they would need.

also one of the most amusing/best thing was when starbreez studios took the 90s comic The Darkness and made it actually good and compelling and sad(they made the new wolfensteins too). because the actual comic is pretty crap. also the sequel was pretty good too.

Finally got around to watching Hbomberguy's Lovecraft video and the amount of empathy that Harris has for Lovecraft was brave and surprising but really made the video special. Looks like Harris' next video will be on Night in the Woods which is not a game I loved but I'm really looking forward to watching it. NITW's is one of those media that I might not like a lot but the conversation around it is really good and Scott Benson seems like a cool dude.

I loved that game. its not perfect but i thought i nailed east coast small town poo poo well. it shows how people from there(like myself) feel kinda a drift and you see why people who are hopeless and abandoned reach out for any kind a savior even if means loving themselves over in the process.

plus it made this hottake happen. apperently the game is very regressive and trumpian because it doesnt show small town folks as evil and at the end they create a union. which is very trumpist.

On harris's empathy for lovecraft, its interesting and nice, he had a pretty good take of where lovecraft came from and how he became the way he was. its tragic that someone as creative as him was that afraid and angry of the greater world.

As someone who has met him several times at DSA meetings he is indeed cool (and so is his wife where a lot of the stuff about Possum Springs comes from her own experiences and research in Southwestern PA rust belt towns). I can't gain a full appreciation due to actually living in more in the post war suburbia part of Western PA, but they really captured the depressing spirits of those towns, where the populace has long been abandoned by industry, taken for granted by Dem politicians who go "Well they will always vote for us so we don't need to bother doing stuff to improve their lives", and just how the youth try really hard to escape only to be stuck because of the economic realities of their lives.

Even if you're not super into comic books, you should probably check out the SFDebris series on the rise and fall of the comic empire because A. it's really good and B. it shows just what kind of horrible shitheel Liefield is. Among a bunch of other people.

Long story short for the relevant bits though, conning Kirby's grieving widow, throwing hissy fits over characters he wrote bits for but didn't own later coming out as gay, embezzling, and not doing work he was paid to do. Among other things.

I didn't know that Chuck has videos on Youtube. I remember him joking on Twitter about all the other hosting services he signed up for that died.

He puts the stuff he can get away with (ie: stuff that's not easily ContentID'able or copyright claimable) on YouTube. Everything else is on Vimeo. He also posts the non-essential introduction videos to longer works on YouTube as a means of drumming up interest and directing traffic to SFDebris.com itself, where you can find the rest of the videos.

Except the datestamp on the log was visible and made it childishly easy to figure out who was being referred to.

*WARNING! Controversial person inbound!*

So, Blaire White did a bit of a livestream last night, and was quite candid about her experience with a lot of other people in the right-wing political YouTube sphere, and how insincere they could be - how so few of them actually believe anything they say, how they'd be super friendly chatting before going live and then as soon as the cameras come on the first thing they say is "I don't know if I should call you he or she" and so on, and how she found that incredibly frustrating...she didn't name names as such, but people were speculating the likes of Steven Crowder and Ben Shapiro as being inferred (which makes like, perfect sense). She talked about how, in no uncertain terms, she didn't want to "be a oval office" on YouTube anymore, that she was essentially done with making response videos and was genuinely sorry for how she'd behaved in ones from the past aimed at folks like Riley (she did do one recently and it wasn't a nice experience at all)

Blaire is getting a bigger and bigger profile now and seems much more at home making pretty light-hearted and thoroughly non-political videos like one where she tried to be a man for a day, or collabed with Shane Dawson - this is a pretty good thing on the whole as she's kinda clearly in a way better place (as is the case with a lot of the actually not too bad political commentators - ergo, the ones that I like - lately, it seems). Something like this happening wasn't surprising, and it was nice to see Blaire finally lift the lid on some of the obvious bullshit. On the whole there's been some good growth. Seems kinda similar to what Theryn Meyer went through a lil' while back. I can't imagine this will suddenly start convincing people to like her or anything (and I really don't want to start an argument on this, especially on a day where the main concern should be about football and it coming home) but positive changes should be welcomed.

It would also be nice if she formally repudiated her earlier politics and named specific names when talking about insincere reactionaries before transitioning into a nonpolitical makeup tips or fast food review channel, although several people have mentioned how those creeps think everyone is playing a role and not named any of them. There must be elements of the youtube politics game that aren’t visible from the outside such that even trash gets the code of silence treatment from people who recognize it as trash.
