Quick correction for the OP, I believe you meant Lord Chris Remo for the host of Idle Thumbs.

Speaking of Can and Jeremy Parish, can we do a Kickstarter to buy him a pop filter?

bobservo posted:I think this episode was the last one we recorded where he didn't have one for his home setup. We've also soundproofed the vault, so things should start sounding a lot better in general. Awesome! It probably doesn't help that I have some low rent earbuds, but Jeremy had a string of sentences that were Punctuating Properly on all P's in the PArappa episode.

Nick recommended this on this week's Idle Thumbs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmfV8IhsHq0&t=1060s I watched it live and had my mind blown. A good recommendation from Nick.

Idle Thumbs usually is pretty good about audio levels, and you're doing yourself a huge disservice by not listening to it.

I googled her name and the second hit was a hit piece about how her review and score of Dragon's Crown was unfair and biased. All of the comments were "guys get sexualized too!" There's a good reason why we have gamers.txt, and it's mostly because white dudes can't shut up about other people having opinions.

Optimus Subprime posted:I enjoyed the last Idle Thumbs podcast, but the conversation on media literacy was a little disconcerting. Needing some level of subjective "understanding" to responsibly enjoy media just makes me immediately jump to conclusions of censorship. I understand that the crew weren't advocating that at all, but the conversation did come off a bit elitist to me. The Archie Bunker question is an interesting concept, but I'm of the belief that people who identify with characters or ideals contrary to the intent of the authors would find validation one way or the other. At least the media exists to possibly change the mind of some who haven't put much thought in their belief systems already. The die hards aren't likely to change their opinions due to a tv show or a video game anyway. If the author feels like his work is detrimental to message they are trying to convey, they are free to walk away from it, just as Dave Chappelle did. I listened to the latest Thumbs ep the other day, and I'm surprised about the disproportional amount of heat Danielle Riendeau received for not being 100% on-board the "South Park is hilarious" train. I thought that the discussion about media literacy was pretty spot on because a lot of people don't know the sausage-esque making process that content creators go through to make consumable media. These are somewhat extreme examples, but there is a definitely nonzero number of people out there who think that Stephen Colbert is not putting on a schtick and there is a website dedicated solely to people taking Onion stories as being literal.

I go to sleep and wake up to this? Guys, you didn't have to... Outside of the episode, I was fairly upset at the reaction that Danielle received versus what she said, it was inversely proportional to the content of what she said. Saying things such as "I'm a feminist", "I used to like South Park, but I can't say I do now", and "I'll give it a shot since you seem to be really into it" really shouldn't bring out the awful side of white dudes on the internet. It's really bizarre for me because I would figure that Idle Thumbs is fairly off the beaten path when it comes to the entire video game scene and I would like to think that there wouldn't be a redditesque backlash on the Idle Thumbs' forums, but it's just more fodder for the People Who Identify As "Gamers" Are Awful Human Beings pile. Carolyn Petit having the audacity to give GTA5 a 9/10 seems like a pretty decent analogue to Danielle Riendeau saying "I'm lukewarm on South Park".

Dadjacket posted:Bob Mackey I love you forever but sometimes I feel like the episodes of Retronauts that you host are solo casts because you keep to such a tight schedule and have so much information to get out yourself! You can relax and go off topic sometimes! I was weirded out the other day when I was at the gym. I was listening to Retronauts and then reading one of his posts in D&D.

I've thought about it a bit, and I really like the last two episodes of Retronauts. Getting meta and talking about a show that deals with games is whatever, but the raw nostalgia and unadulterated enthusiasm for games is definitely a strong parallel to make on the season finisher. That and Ray is technically the US Ambassador of Game Center CX. (rip ray im gonna miss you on Retronauts every week)

I was looking for the Gamers.txt thread since I was bored the other day, and it was in the gas chamber. @fart was retweeting her stuff and basically just posting stuff like "and this is why gamers are the worst". I put two and two together. It's happened in this thread before, but apparently treating women, or minorities in general, like people is a loving bridge too far for a nonzero number of people who identify as "gamers".
