I don't know if I'll watch the videos but I forgot House of Leaves existed and have never read it so I used that promo vid as an excuse to buy it. I like Nexpo & Nightmare Masterclass more than Nick at this point, mostly because I've never been able to get used to Nick's voice.

I also enjoy the small YT people in the comments licking his boots. Mr E fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Mar 5, 2019 |

I finished House of Leaves last night and got 20 seconds into Night Mind's first vid on it and think I'm done after he said it was one of the most influential works of the new millenia.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:Is that the digital smoothing feature that makes everything look like it was shot on video? My parents have it on all the time and it drives me crazy. It turns every movie into an early-80s soap opera. I always call it the soap opera option. My grandparents keep turning it on even after we show them how to turn it off and they say "oh that looks so much better"!

get that OUT of my face posted:It's not just going to be a problem with gaming, it's going to be a problem with everything. I feel like the center of economic growth in America has moved from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, which is just as well because most of the "best and brightest" made that migration ten years ago. Which has a good chance of being even worse than Wall Street because Silicon Valley tends to be in an even smaller bubble of what they think people have access to or want.

I don't really care if people use the Epic store (or indie devs take the guaranteed cash), but kickstarters advertising Steam keys and then trying to say "nah" or putting up condescending blog posts is bad. I personally don't like the EGS because immediately after I signed up when I thought I might like Fortnite, I had issues with people trying to access my account, so I don't really trust them with a credit card or anything like that.

ItWasMoida posted:What are people's thoughts on Gmanlives? He's a Youtuber who looks like he specifically reviews first-person shooters, which is great as he highlights some titles that I'm sure I would have never heard of. However, his tendency to be... let's say obnoxious (and to throw in jabs at the usual chud buzzwords) sometimes make him less than palatable. Which is a shame as I enjoy it anytime a smaller indie title or a mod gets a spotlight. My thought on GGGGGGmanlives is that you should just watch Civvie instead.

Mr.Radar posted:Philosophy Tube did a live stream today where he talked about his latest video and opened mail. One piece of mail tied in incredibly thematically with that video and made Olly visibly emotional. It's about 5 minutes and well worth watching: His live streams are usually well worth watching if you like his scripted things.

It's not a bad thing to release the odds, but it doesn't do anything to fix the problem of people becoming addicted or continuing their casino or betting addiction in video games. They're going to look at that 0.05% chance of getting the gold box and say "I can beat the odds". It's hosed up that they're being taken advantage of.

They're not going to do poo poo, just like most/all social media platforms they don't actually enforce their rules if you're a popular streamer. I'm sure it'll be a Dr. Disrespect situation where they get like a 3 day ban. Also getting "heated" during Minecraft is just  .

If you don't like the videos or disagree with his opinions just don't watch his videos? I don't watch a lot of videos posted here just fine. Also all those games are good.

RareAcumen posted:Equeen summed it up perfectly well. What an incredibly annoying sounding game to actually experience for yourself. It's really not that annoying to play, and I say that as someone that hates survival elements in literally every game I've ever played except like Don't Starve. I haven't watched the video yet but Pathologic 2 is one of my favorite games I've played this year.

Harrow posted:The video's about Pathologic 1 almost exclusively and comes down to "this game is amazing and fascinating but I really don't recommend that you play it." Instead, he wholeheartedly recommends Pathologic 2. I haven't played either but it sounds like Pathologic 2 kept a lot of the things that made the first one immersive and challenging while ditching the jank that made the first one more annoying than it should be. Yeah the first game from the little I played and watched was worse in pretty much every way, from the translation or lack of it to the gameplay.

I think the way he put it in the intro to his Industries Expansion video put it pretty well tbh: I like Shaun and donoteat but donoteat's presentation and manner of speaking is much less sleep inducing to me. I'll watch all of the Bell Curve vid but I'm gonna have to do it in chunks.

egg tats posted:hi I don't know why anyone's subjecting themselves to two hours of contrapoints wining about how she's the real victim for doing everything wrong over the course of an entire year. love yourself, it's ok to not. This is a really good video. On Contra, I could have accepted an apology for her platforming a person who doesn't think me being nonbinary is real but she a) monetized the apology and b) sent her followers towards people who didn't even @ her. It's real cool to see people say she was attacked on twitter and that I should feel sorry for her when she's doing the same thing to much smaller random people.

MelvinBison posted:Yesterday my sister (still a big contra fan) tried to provide me timestamps for the "important parts" / responses to some of the tweets I shared with her that I found in this thread. I still refuse to look because that's cherrypicking information and theoretically I should be watching the whole video for context (because she's not worth a full length movie of my time), and if those were the important bits anyway, then why did the video need to be 107 minutes long in the first place? I was told "I thought were better than that" and she hasn't spoken to me since. Parasocial relationships seem real bad, maybe. Sorry you're going through that.

Those video were awful and nearly as long as both of Snyder's theatrical releases combined. Regardless of how you feel about the films, it was a stupid thing to do and a all-around wasted, unproductive effort. An all-around wasted, unproductive effort does seem to apply to most of their videos yeah.
