RareAcumen posted:All the cool people made the mistake of toxxing for Hillary so now all we have left are people who post in ADTRW, their parachute accounts, and people laser-focused on how edgy the website used to be before all you losers sold out and became pussies. Can't even make fun of a 9/11 the day it happens on this lame rear end website. It was kinda hilarious to watch the D&D mods try to worm their way out of banning all the toxxers until Lowtax stepped in.

But yeah, that was an awful tragedy Yah. He's mentioned wanting to go back to that a couple times. But also the guy did some movie streams weekly for years and recently did a couple and the the tone in recent ones from extremely enthusiastic good entertainer to just dead inside is... stark. I'd give him some time...

Even though he quickly goes through Red Ash, I'd say that when that Kickstarter launched it was the moment of no return in regards to good will for Inafune. If only because he had already used the "Remember when they canceled Legends 3?" card when raising funds for Mighty No. 9. It always felt like a good number of people who supported/backed the first Kickstarter did it thinking that Inafune was more upset that Legends 3 was canceled than any other Mega Man title that been scrapped during those years. Like that cancellation overshadowed the actual classic Mega Man game Inafune was talking about being "His dream game that had been cancelled" during the Mighty pitch video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3rkb-zifUQ

The closest approximation you can get to Kitty0706 nowadays is probably Doctor Lalve. It's not Team Fabulous 2 good, but I still get a kick out of his videos. And Antoine Delak is still making videos. I miss Rubberfruit the most. The Bad Trade and Heavy Galaxy are so stupid I can't help but like them

It was a couple of the admins who decided to renege on that. The mods were very much opposed to the idea, we literally told them it made us all look less credible, but they only reversed course once it was brought to Lowtax's attention.

I haven't watched or listened to anything from SBF zaibatsu (RIP) for years, but binged that whole series from Matt yesterday. Much better than whatever anemic LP stuff they had been doing in the late years as a team and really reminds of the better AVGN videos. I recall Mighty Number 9 as the one kickstarter game that even skeptics tried to hype as the great hope of platformers. The animosity towards Capcom was really something fierce back then.

Resident Evil, Mega Man, and Devil Mar Cry have all come back from the dead which makes it awkward for any kickstarted spiritual successor. Though I'm definitely sure Castlevania is dead.

Dawgstar posted:https://twitter.com/JennyENicholson/status/1147977074012852224 It’s ironic that the 90s theoreticians thought that the internet would collapse boundaries between people and open radical new possibilities for community, while in reality it ended up driving such radical separation that people no longer understand that the people they watch are human beings who can be affected by their behavior. It’s all the same sort of radical alienation or anomie, like weirdoes asking Allison if they can watch Brad Jones or people getting mad that Contrapoints doesn’t do a video every week. A big part of it seems to come from wanting to be acknowledged by the object of their attention and not understanding the effect their behavior might have. But there has to be a pre-internet version of that too. I remember reading as a teen about how someone at a science fiction convention threw a dixie cup of diarrhea onto some science fiction author because he said he didn’t like Star Trek. Celebrity is inherently unhealthy and a symptom of the sickness of capitalism imo.

Though I'm definitely sure Castlevania is dead. The original Castlevania designer had a successful kickstarter for a spiritual successor, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. In fact, the kickstarter was so successful that they came out with a retro-style game called Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, which is not, to quote Cannot Be Tamed, a game about getting your period. Both seem to be well received.

What the internet's done in that regard is democratize celebrity obsession in a frankly terrifying way. Film celebrity at least had the benefit of the stars being so detached from the public that only astoundingly unwell people would form a fixation. Now though, with a pet celebrity for every niche and the emergence of parasocial relationships, a lot more people feel like there's a voice out there speaking specifically to them. Mix that with the bucketload of alienation that comes with online culture, and it means that, while every minor internet star has an audience, they probably also have a stalker(s).

Imagine the phrase "the personal is political." Then mutate and disfigure it to make it mean, "If you don't like my personal consumption choices, then you're a bad person." The opposite is true as well: if you agree with someone's consumption choices, then you're worthy of praise and emulation. Everything is either "important" or "canceled." Nuance and shades of gray are forbidden.

I mean, if you're not just gonna make Mega Man 2 Again But With A Shop like MM9 and MM10, there's a lot of ways you could go wrong. Even within that very narrow design space... MM10 wasn't exactly well received. It's a perfectly fine game, but it's not that great a followup to 9, and the retro style wasn't going to carry more than one game.

Without money driving a system of attention, notoriety would likely look very different. I don’t know that the people harassing Contrapoints or Jenny Nicholson (or anyone we talk about here) admire them exactly, or strive to emulate them as premodern people did for their heroes, as much as they need them to fill a void created by modern life and feel entitled to have them do what they want. Honestly, if I had a richer personal life and didn’t devote so many of my waking hours to work, I would probably post less and not watch as much youtube, or enjoy it as much.
