Marauders aren't exactly difficult, they're just not much fun to fight.

Even stuff like the nuke death where you don't technically accomplish anything still amounts to, "you died because you refused to leave a wounded warrior behind." So yeah, definitely agree that the framing of main character deaths in CoD serves to glorify war and not do the opposite.

Of all the games out there where you could bitch about the only verbs being violent ones, he chooses Control?

Terrible Opinions posted:A version of Control with Disco Elysium's mechanics would certainly have value, but it would also be an entirely different game. If you were going to cut out the combat, I'd want Control to be something more like Portal where you solve puzzles with an array of supernatural tools. Which is... honestly probably impossible from both a design and resource perspective.

Hbomb shaved his head and it's freakin' me out how much he looks like Jesse from Breaking Bad. Edit: faces aren't even that similar, it's just the buzz cut and scraggly facial hair. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 05:29 on May 3, 2020 |

At a certain point, people cross a line of shittiness where your only choice is to cut ties or join them in driving everyone else away. You might not have been a complete rear end in a top hat before that choice, but if you pick the latter path you sure as poo poo become one.

JustaDamnFool posted:As someone who could probably rate as a zoomer, I do occasionally feel resenment at how much of mainstream culture is remakes of stuff (star trek/wars, ghostbusters, ect.) trying to bank off the nostalgia of people who haven't liked anything new in said series since the turn of the millenium, like we're stuck absorbing the childhood culture of people who aren't even enjoying the repeats. Its not really a coherent complaint, and blaming millenials as a generation instead of the execs who make the decsions is unfair, but it is there. Don't worry, we're already up to the 90s, in another few years they'll be remarking stuff from the aughts, and then the teens. The nostalgia cycle is baked into consumerism, and before long they'll be pandering to you like it's going out of style. Spoiler: if you have even an once of self-awareness, it sucks even worse to be the target of that poo poo.

It really is the cardinal example of how the “we’re all just a bunch of friends” business model is toxic bullshit. But the early-to-mid aughts are replete with internet randoms who stumbled into success and had not a clue what to do next. Didn’t Penny Arcade manage to sell the rights to their comic two separate times before they wised up and hired a business manager?

Shinji2015 posted:It amazes me that even now, people still ask Arin about reuniting with Jon. JonTron's videos still get millions of views. While there's doubtless a fair number of people who know and simply don't care, a lot of people are genuinely ignorant. Or maybe they heard a third-hand account, something easy to brush off for those not terminally online. The churn of the internet is such that it's genuinely hard to make poo poo stick to people unless they're constantly being horrible in front of a camera. Jon has so far had enough savvy to keep his head (mostly) down after that first big flare-up. I think the worst thing he's done since was posting that stupid Just Wanna Grill meme.

John Murdoch posted:It's a minor point in the video but y'know what, I appreciate her explicitly not being lovely and snide about Harry Potter still being important to people. That Read Another Book poo poo can be justified on occasion, but I feel like it quickly mutated into a way to attack people on the basis that they like a popular thing rather than any more credible point. Lindsey's done videos apologizing to Stephenie Meyer and defending how it's okay to like bad pop music. She is very much pro people having and loving their personal trash media. WeedlordGoku69 posted:zoomers hate us because they grew up in a media landscape that was constantly screaming about how awful we are and how we do nothing but eat avocado toast and kill industries, and internalized it lol no. The youngs always hate the olds. This is nothing new, and the mild scorn zoomers have for millennials and xers pales in comparison to their loathing of boomers.

A snippet from Hbomb's patreon update for his RWBY video.quote:Thanks for being so patient. 'A few days' turned into a few more days because it turns out that Rooster Teeth, despite being a company founded entirely on appropriating Halo video game footage, are incredibly precious about anyone appropriating their material, in any fashion. Almost all their footage is flagged as 'blocked in all countries' and cannot be played anywhere, and all the footage that isn't blocked is automatically monetized by RT, so they get all the revenue from what little footage they allow to even exist on YouTube. And, worse, YouTube only reports 2 or 3 content ID claims at a time, so when I fix them, I find there were 3 more 'violations' waiting in the wings. They're still making RvB too, so dem Halo assets continue doin' work for them. I know Anime is rife with pirating but blocking every scrap of footage on youtube doesn't seem like the best way to combat that, especially for a company that made its name off repurposing existing material.

I know he's gone through hell getting it through Youtube's content review system, but I'm low-key furious he didn't make it twenty-two minutes rather than twenty.

Jamie Faith posted:Nah, Hbomb rules. I could watch him discuss the history of fonts for 2 hours and I'm sure he would find some way to make it funny and interesting. Are you familiar with Typeset in The Future? It's a blog all about deep dives into the font and typeface aesthetic of various tentpole sci-fi films. It is incredible and serves as abject proof that any subject can be engrossing. And I agree Hbomb is fun to watch, even when he's talking about anime nonsense. He often goes on rambling tangents, but his style and comedic timing are excellent to the point it's still fun to watch him caper about.

Yeah, but Jon Bois is the yardstick by which all other internet funny men making semi-informative videos are measured. To even be in the conversation with his like is a compliment. I give negative fucks about sports, but his videos are always fun to watch.

Jim Sterling appreciates that Swery65 can say "I'm sorry," and honestly so do I. It's refreshing to hear a creative lead simply say, "I wanted to do right by this issue, but I hosed up. I'm sorry, and I'm going to do my best to fix it." Uhh, in regard to the trans representation issues, not the frame-rate.

DrVenkman posted:https://twitter.com/ShadowTodd/status/1301777912576708608?s=19 The quality of the editor is roughly commensurate with the quality of the work unless the writer is prepared to spend a disproportionate amount of money. Which they usually aren't because, often, it does not matter to the audience. A lot of romance and erotic writers focus on being prolific, first and foremost. Talking like 50-60k word novels published every 2-4 weeks prolific. Even a genuinely talented writer would struggle to produce batter than garbage at that kind of output. The readers demand their steady diet of trashy wolf-sex nonsense!

RareAcumen posted:Corridor Crew's stuff. I'm here for the VFX artists react stuff, I'm not interested in 'What if Home Alone or Marvel or Space Jam were R-rated?!' Corridor Crew's stuff really makes me hate Youtube and how it functions. The segments where they talk shop with other people in or around their industry are fascinating, but each video is leaden with so many calls to action that there are only about 3-6 minutes of actual content in a 10m vdieo
