I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

despite everything, monty oum's fight scenes were pretty entertaining. that was always what people watched the show for.
also they seem to like the music. idk, doesn't really do it for me but I can see the appeal I guess.

Doesn't it end on a ridiculous cliffhanger after setting up a kickass final battle? I remember my brother bitching about it at the time (as a cultured person I only played FPS on PC).

It looks like YouTube ads are about to get even more annoying:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mJdG-lzhQg

Tl;dw: YouTube is changing the minimum video runtime for putting midroll ads on a video from 10 minutes to 8 minutes and automatically enabling them on every elegible video, even ones where midrolls were previously manually disabled unless the owner of the channel takes action.

I'd suggest getting uBlock Origin on desktop and NewPipe on Android (via the FDroid app store) if you haven't already.
I noticed this back in April or May, and it’s YouTube trying to squeeze a bit of extra cash out of the pandemic since more people are stuck at home watching TV. It’s pretty scummy, as I imagine creators won’t see an extra cent, and pretty...YouTube.

RT and Oum specifically had both a built in fanbase from RvB and his Dead Fantasy series along with the feeling of loyalty to an indie studio, which RT still tries to project despite being owned by Warner Brothers and getting called out by Levar Burton for treating his daughter like garbage.

Eh, people have more tolerance for that kinda stuff. I'm the same way video games. I don't think I could go back to PS1 or 64 games or earlier unless they're sprite-based now.

Sometimes people will have no problem with watching stuff that looks like poo poo, like Kemono Friends and still love it. Other people need things to look more absurd and incredible like Redline and won't settle for less. It is what it is.

I am a little curious about what went down with Woolie and Liam though cause they did a few things after the breakup (long after Liam left too) then stopped. Not enough to pry though cause yeah as Woolie said, disrespectful of the cool content they're making now.

And it's abundantly clear there's bad blood between Pat/Woolie and Matt and there's no way that's happening and people really need to stop asking.

Eh what I've inferred is Matt kinda disconnected from the SBF well before it actually ended so Pat and Woolie had to work double time keeping poo poo afloat the last year or so.

That'll strain anyone's patience.

I doubt there's any like similar issue with Woolie and Liam, they still seem to twitter each other, so I'm more interested in what stopped them doing videos. It's not like either are shy about collaborating.

You're not cooking your mushrooms correctly if they're wet, they need to be hot enough so the water evaporates immediately.

In Liam's case it's because he's stopped doing videos/streaming entirely since he went back to college.

I think Woolie really wants to stand on his own and doesn't want to let the past be a crutch, and Pat is allergic to the kind of effort anything more than streaming involves. Don't blame him tbh, it's working for him.

Zorchin' some Flemoids

Halo 2 is fun but the fact that in Legendary Co-op if either partner dies, the game reloads to a checkpoint is dumb.

Legendary also has some other really, really dumb poo poo. I'm looking at you, jackal snipers, the prophet boss fight, and the near entirety of the level "Gravemind"

I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
The other night, my partner and I tried playing through Halo 2 on Legendary with 21 skulls on, including the potent combination of:
- One player has infinite ammo and no shields, one only has melee but overshields
- BUT you can only restore your shields by melee killing enemies
- BUT enemies drop their grenades and explode on death
- AND the explosion radius has been doubled
- Plus all the enemies were raised to their maximum ranks, physics was made to be wild and we were constantly getting killed by boxes launched by stray explosions, no motion tracker, HUD elements gone, etc.

We were unable to complete the first level.

Ive been playing MCC and beaten the three available games on Heroic, so now I've been practicing Legendary with some skulls activated. The skulls adding extra grenades and upgrading the class of enemy units is about as much as I can handle. Halo Reach elites are absolute bullshit. Super strong shields and poor enemy flinching animations make it difficult to tell of you're making any meaningful damage to them, and they won't stop dodging.

Halo Reach is BRUTAL on Legendary, yet also feels like the one you should play on that mode, since it's a story about repeatedly getting your rear end kicked.

Really? I thought Reach on Legendary was pretty easy all things considered. I didn't have too much trouble with it. (DMR and Plasma pistol, that's all you need) I had way more trouble with Halo 3 lol

Also, this popped up in my recommendations on youtube. The channel Ross McIntyre did a two parter video series on the Channel Awesome movies

Part 1, he talks about Kickassia and Suburban Knights

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HK-9D-1DME

Part 2, he talks about Too Boldly Flee

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csgPFMdJNIg

Little warning tho, he accidentally misgenders JesuOtaku and Kinley Mochrie. He didn't know they came out after Too Boldy Flee and was pretty apologetic about it on twitter so I don't think it was intentional

Anything is easy if you use the noob combo enough, but there's definitely balance issues with Reach's human arsenal. It has probably the worst assault rifle in the game, and the high shield strength of Elites really cripples weapons like the Shotgun and Sniper Rifle. Outside of the DMR the rest of the human weapons are pretty much one off gimmicks and the reduced magazine count limits them further (on that note why do several missions start you off with more ammo than your max carrying capacity?)

I disagree. if you get close enough, the shotgun is devastating to even the most powerful elites, and the sniper rifle is incredibly powerful if you get headshots with it (which you should be doing with most of the human weapons anyway)

Also, the grenade launcher is extremely useful. It can take out entire groups of grunts with one shot, its the best weapon to bypass Jackals shields with, and a direct hit can one-shot an elite. (IIRC)

Honestly, Reach has my favorite arsenal of any Halo game.
