So does that new youtube rule mean people who basically make a living yelling about Anita Sarkeesian are now hosed?

yeah i guess but so are people who don't do that because they skipped "hate speech" and went straight for "all speech" do not pass go do not collect monetization dollars

It's supposed to be a coffee cup with a star in the coffee but I know it's not readable. I only realized when I saw it shrinked down. I'll replace it with something clearer shortly when I figure out what other thing would be cool for the Twin Peaks/Deadly Premonition brand. I'm thinking about an owl.

Thankfully most people who have a patreon seem to be aware that doing purely-subscriber-only content will gain them a lot of dislike. For most I've seen it's stuff like "get a video a day early" or "get behind the scenes making-of stuff" etc.

If you visit all of the secret levels (except for the underwater one cuz it doesn't spawn enough enemies to be worth it) and get lucky enough to get a mutation canister on almost every level, you can juuuuuust barely make it to ultra mutation in the first round. Otherwise you usually get it by like the second level of loop #1.

There's also a fatass sheep that walks lazily behind you so slowly that it falls behind and the game has to teleport it ahead for it to keep up with you. FF14 has a real good set of followers goin on.

They already are, since the internet's decided to interpret the new dumb policy as "everything ever is banned".

Personally I don't like it because of their hypocrisy; instead of taking down videos that break the rules of the policy, google takes away the user's monetization on the video and then monetizes it themselves. It's messed up.

That's imo the only thing that allows them to get away with treating their users like crap. There is nothing better than Youtube as far as video streaming sites go and there isn't going to be for a very long time because nobody has the kind of money Google has, the kind of money it takes to create a website like Youtube (or rather, purchase a site like youtube) and make it ubiquitous throughout the internet like they have. The "where else are you going to go? :)" threat is constantly dangling over the heads of people who use Youtube to make a living and it sucks super hard for them.

I'm having a nostalgia trip and want to buy a guitar controller for ps3 guitar hero/rock band and holy loving poo poo they're expensive nowadays. What the hell happened to make these things so rare to find

edit: there's so many that are listed without the connector dongle and it's like what's the point, who would buy that

I do have like 3 ps2 guitar controllers sitting in my closet from back in the day though so I'll just buy a converter if it really comes down to it

They break if you look at them funny, and since they couldn't be traded in at most places a lot of people just threw them in the trash.

I called around to all the pawn shops/thrift stores in town, most of them had no guitars at all, and the one store that had a bunch of em... didn't have any for PS3 :negative:

edit: hey, people who use paypal: since my bank account is linked to my paypal, it'll take money out of it to pay for stuff right? Because I don't have enough in my paypal to pay for the thing but ebay only allows paypal login purchases because they suck

Reminds me of when I tried to find used Wireless Wavebirds. Nobody sells them with the receiver except scammers and a new one still in package is a few hundred dollars :pwn:

The craziest thing is, the guitar controllers go for 20 ish bucks... but all of the dongle-only sales I've found are hovering around 30! :psyduck:

so was it a rock band guitar or something else?

PS3 Guitar Hero 3 guitar (the one modeled after the Les Paul) with the dumbass dongle included. Cost me fifty bucks but it came with the game and from the pictures appears to have been very well taken care of, and it works with the other plastic guitar videogames, so I'm not too bothered.

I find that playing a rhythm game with music I REALLY like on a lower setting helps to get me out of the doldrums. Usually I kick it up a notch because I really start to feel the beat. Hope everything works out, Ciaphas.

The reason to buy a console over making a PC is a personal taste in simplicity over availability

edit: A game console is simple. You plug it in and plays the games you buy for it. PC gaming has a lot more complexity and a lot more that a) can go wrong and b) can go wrong and be your fault. It's pretty easy to get the hang of it but that still doesn't make it a simpler experience than just buying a game console.

wasting time is what games posters do in between posting that their pc won't run something and realizing that nobody is going to reply with a fix

That's also something to consider. You buy a game on a console and it will work, no matter what, guaranteed. Even if you have a good PC, Deus Ex Mankind Divided recently proved well that that doesn't mean anything.
