Interesting deflection

I only brought up Melon's twitter account in comparison to Boogie's dude, you might wanna call the guy who brought the article up - I've no interest in going through it again, I don't really watch much of his videos and certainly didn't watch his meme review channel that's probably best gone anyway because it blew chunks. Now chill and watch the man eat pastrami.

EDIT: Oh I also just found Shirley Curry, an 82 year old who has 300k subs from playing Skyrim and was at PAX last weekend, which is cool and heartwarming even if it's probably also "deflecting" because it's posting something that 's not depressing Boogie analysis or restarting a fight from the nostalgia file

Fantano had neo nazi sam hyde on his podcast and was too busy giggling to challenge hyde on his views.

gently caress fantano and his apologist fans

I'm not fan of Fantano but I thought his response video to that article was pretty reasonable and wasn't the cut-and-dry issue that the article, or people here, seem to make out it was.

Watched the hbomb video on speedruns. I know they do some nice charity things but speedrunners really seem like the majority to be broken with severe emotional issues and similar to obsessive compulsive disorder.

That weird guy freaking out because a load screen took too long and then orgasming when he did something fast just seems hosed up to me.

People also "freak out" over whether a ball does or does not land inside of a net on their television screen, not everyone is into that, but I think most of us accept that it's not necessarily a sign of mental illness in and of itself.

I think if you spent hours doing a thing you would be rather excited when you finally became the best at that thing.

Unless you spend hours doing stuff you don’t care much about but that’s a you problem.

Giving a platform to a known neo nazi makes fantano a piece of poo poo, no thanks bro don't like people who are in anyway sympathetic to them

He got caught and tried to play it off anyways us a joke, dude is an idiot and I'm glad his shows got cancelled

There has to be a breaking-point for dudes trying to one-up each with Ocarina and Mario 64 . Nostalgia must account for their speed running prominence because the N64 was a pretty crap console for the time: lack of third-party support, lack of RPGs, tiny game size-limit, weird controller...

It was also the last console made with carts instead of discs or digital downloads, which leads a certain uniformity of hardware to the games and generally made it so they both weren't terribly huge and tended to have minimal load times.

Interesting channel I have not heard of that goes through more cinephillic content than popular movies.
Will have to check them out.

I think that youtube channels exploring metaphors are important - I can get the idea of them but it's very difficult for me to pick them out myself. I don't think my mind can identify subjective nuance that well, and watching things just to find them and understand something that won't give me the immediate gratification of an identifiable story isn't my idea of a good time.
But that's the good part of youtube, where experts in fields can make videos to share their experience, and maybe others can pick up some new ways of thinking that they would not have been able to pick up before.

In the defense of Anthony Fantano (AKA, Nothony Meatano):

It's been a long time since he's interacted or hosted someone like Sargon or Sam Hyde. He seems better about stuff like that nowadays.

Despite getting flack from his fans, he's actively political on Twitter usually advocating for socialist causes like Medicare For All.

If he went back to rubbing elbows with Sargon, I'd drop him, but he's improved and uses his Twitter for a lot of good.

i mean whatever else you want to say about the n64, it's undeniable that mario 64 and ocarina of time are two of the best and most important games ever made. there are few games that have ever or will ever have the impact that those two had, both on gamers and on the way games are even made.
