Goddamn it hurts to find out someone you respect is a moron.

Incidentally, on topic, does anyone listen to any YouTube to help them sleep? For the past year or so I've been playing Allison's Charmed Reviews, gently chuckling my way to sleep to it. I think I've just listened to it so many times over the years it's become essentially comforting and funny white noise.

Oh, constantly. Who I listen to varies depending on my mood, but I've often played a familiar voice to keep my mind from wandering while my body settles down in bed.

But then I wouldnt know how much energy I am wasting on my computer afterwards!
(Because I have no idea how to tell it to turn itself off, I am dumb that way)

Those Charmed reviews were great tho.

lmao I do that too! And with Alison's videos as well! Altho I usually go with baywatching. Quinton Reviews is another good one to sleep to imo.

I like to try and listen to youtube videos while I sleep, I tried listening to a few of Jenny's videos cause she's the only youtuber who doesn't randomly yell and it works up until the ad plays since I can't use adblock on my phone.

Nier Automata would be a little weird though because he COULD just buy all the trophies and get the platinum and say "hell yes I've 100% completed Nier Automata."


The idea that anybody should PLAY Drakengard in a Post-TDI Let's Play world is actually horrendous. He bore this burden for us! I have a lot of respect for Yoko Taro but there's a reason my only first hand experience is Nier Automata. And helping my friend do the final boss of D3 while using a video to cheat because he could not wrap his hands around 6 button presses followed by a 1 tick pause before the 7th press.

Yeah but Anderson has a particular form of brokebain that probably wouldn't let him do that.

EDIT: /\ some phones absolutely demand youtube goes through the youtube app so the only way around it is paying for premium. I use a roku that has the same issue.

I mean, you specifically call out anderson for appealing to the same viewerbase as the longform chuds like mauler, along with saying that he hangs out with rightwing chuds. It's probably not what you meant, but it's not some insane leap of logic lol

sorry dawg but anyone who doesn't get a game as blatantly fuckin obvious as silent hill 2 is not worth listening to about anything ever, i was fuckin 15 when i played that game and it was plainly obvious to me what the game was about even then when i was a highschool libertarian dipshit

i just do not understand why anyone keeps posting his vomit in this thread, pretty much nobody except you and groovelord neato have anything positive to say about this absolute moron. he's been roundly and rightly criticized by basically every other regular poster here.

he is almost incomprehensibly dumb and represents everything i hate about internet critics, releasing longform videos where he presents himself as some sort of supergenius deconstructing why these amazing games are actually bad. i mean gently caress i have a lot of problems with breath of the wild and feel that it gained way too goddamn much praise, but even then, his video on that game was just fuckin beyond banal.

I've not watched his reviews(or really any longform reviews, no thanks), only the stream archives of nier automata, subnautica, recettear and a little of doom 2016. he's totally fine in those and comes off as a mostly regular dude and pretty standard game streamer. I was curious about if he ever even made the nier review because it kept coming up during the streams, is all.

you don't like him, that's fine.

I'll admit I trust him way more for gameplay critique than story critique for sure. Granted a lot of that helps when you remove the "Do you really need to 100% a game?" factor, because very rarely I feel are there games that there are a need to truly 100% complete the game in every aspect now. If a game captures you and compels you to do that it's great, but I never feel it as a requirement.

i critique the gently caress out of things and watch a lot of people who critique the gently caress out of things. i mean gently caress i could write a goddamn novel about everything wrong with morrowind, my favorite game ever.

joseph anderson meanwhile is the video game equivalent of a cinema discussion contrarian shitposter, everything he says is vacuous and pointless and i've never seen him once make a good point about anything ever.

his entire shtick is playing a game with the most completionist mindset possible and then bitching about poo poo like how botw has 900 koroks, i mean gently caress in his video for that game he even says that nintendo probably didn't intend for you to get all of them but then keeps bitching about them anyway
