the stopped clock theory applies here because that guy has like 1000 videos and maybe 5 of them are genuinely interesting

it's p easy to tell from the title which ones those 5 are tho

e: the one about how rosalina is luigi and daisy's daughter is legit cool

I did. Today. To pre order the Animal Crossing N3Ds. The guy was nice and had some good looking tatoos.

While it works grammatically, I think Microsoft meant "battle Covenant and Promethean forces" instead

Sometimes I want to see what happens in a game so old the chances of me actually having fun playing it are zero.

Also occasionally it's fun to see people actually being good at a game instead of stumbling around blindly like I do.
I only got reminded afterwards but I do watch some let's play sometimes, and that's the lowtax one, in part because I would never try those garbage games but also because lowtax and the other guy are kind of funny.

Edit: but maybe they were more like "first look" videos than let's play videos

the nerd shaming I see in SA is aways kind of confusing to me. Do you mean you don't play games? Or maybe you do play them but you feel the shame you believe is proper?

Racism is different in Europe guys!

quote:

the CEO of a company that
makes an educational game called “Playing History: Slave Trade,” chalked up Twitter outrage that bubbled up over the weekend to cultural differences between Europe and the United States, saying the company didn’t intend to make a “racist or inflammatory game.” He further defended the game, saying it had already received awards in Europe.
The game, which has been out for a couple years, has been reviewed and mocked on YouTube. Some educators object to the the appearance of the slaves, saying the characters appear to be in “blackface,” that it teaches kids math through bartering for children and that one character made a Mr. T reference, saying, “I pity the fool who messes with Chief Janto.” It picked up new steam on Twitter last weekend.
