Lindsay and Jim Sterling are my favorites. I want to say that I got to Lindsay's stuff through the gators, either directly or indirectly? When their thread got sent into D&D, I tried reading up about what the hell that was about, and they were either complaining about her directly or I got one of her videos recommended after I watched one of Anita's (which I never really got into). This was after she'd moved most of her stuff to Youtube, so I watched the back catalog, as well as the new stuff, and have been hooked ever since. Jim I started watching around the same time, again probably showing up as a suggested video by Youtube when I was looking around at various horrible ess jay dubbya game reviewers.

business hammocks posted:Anita Sarkeesian’s stuff has gotten better since she ended her video series. Now she just fucks around on podcasts with two of her friends or Feminist Frequency coworkers and it’s pretty fun. Whoever blamed the director/producer she hired (who does Pop Culture Detective now) for making her poo poo stuffy and boring was right, it turns out. Podcasts don't really appeal to me.  I was searching my Youtube history, and I think that I also ran into HBomb, whom I also like, through Anita. Pushing Up Roses, meanwhile, I probably got recommended through various let's plays and such, so not everything goes back to the gators, I suppose. My whole exposure to many of these things was backwards because of the years I spent effectively offline focusing on my PhD.

If her twitter thread wasn't convincing enough for you, I think the Three Act video she linked to is really worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0QO7YuKKdI Her explanation of what a theory in film/culture studies here was where it finally clicked for me. The introduction to her The Whole Plate series, using Michael Bay's Transformers series as a canvas on which to paint the whole field of film studies, also goes into it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRXI__Wixas Waffles Inc. posted:Lindsay’s Ellis is absolutely more academically and authoritatively qualified than me in the area of film like, creation and technique. That said, the thing about art is that it’s all taste. People can jump up and down about any of the perceived technique issues of things they don’t like, but those things do not make a movie good or bad. For instance, What movies do you like that have technical or structural “flaws”? Does that matter to your enjoyment? Of course not. This also goes into what I understood her to mean with that recurring reference to stereotypical low-information movie watchers - that she isn't trying to say that this level of analysis matters to most movie-goers. It doesn't have to matter to your own particular enjoyment. It can nevertheless be insightful.

Dean of Swing posted:It would be a conundrum. For the past billion years of evolution life has predicated on the central principle of "at some point you are not going to be around anymore". I can see how that would be an especially disconcerting thought for tech CEOs who's entire lives do not take that into account. Sometimes the only thing that makes the world bearable is the knowledge that the entire House of Saud will someday be worm food like the rest of us. I don't know, Ibn Saud was such a slut that there are alternate heirs in the double-digits. It's a house with plenty of redundancies.

Vagabundo posted:So does being a loving snob about popular media, or loudly and publicly shouting to everyone about how much you hate it, and proclaiming the "death of _________" on a regular basis. It's hard to ignore when the actors involved are all on the talk show circuit and some of them host SNL, and yet more show up in commercial and promos on TV (because every channel has 2-5 superhero shows, most of them MCU) and you end up running into an obscene amount of ancillary things when you just want to watch goddamned Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and get entertained by bizarro SNL humor that doesn't have to do with goddamned superheros. It's not like I waste a lot of effort complaining about it, but it's extremely tiresome.

Some idiot got a copyright strike because he took a full-length movie by MarzGurl and commented over it with his friends, and cannot for the life of him move on. This has been going on all afternoon. This is some kind of way of following the thread, it's hard to get all of it because he blocked or muted her or something. https://twitter.com/OdieEsty/status/992526205273419778 Here's a partial screencap:

As Contra put in her video, he's fond off dancing around his actual positions and baiting people into either getting frustrated and dropping the point, or falling into a trap that he can use to impress the kind of idiots who'll upload the clips with JORDAN PETERSON ANALLY DESTROYS HYSTERICAL POSTMODERNIST as the title or some poo poo So a lot like Kevin Williamson or Ross Douthat or that crazy George Mason economist, Robin Hanson. Just paragraphs and paragraphs or tweets upon tweets of plausible deniability in purple prose.

That's great but I was specifically asking about his voice. I went ahead and looked for him on Youtube (RIP my viewing algorithm), and he doesn't sound all that Kermity, say, on Bill Maher.

Fair enough. Also, now I know that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote an somewhat anti-semitic history of Jews in Russia, so that's my evening made.

I think the last kids` cartoon I watched was an episode of Gravity Falls, and while I love Kristen Schaal, that's not enough for me to continue watching a show targeted at children and have really strong opinions about it. Maybe when/if I have my own children and they get to TV-watching age.

Terrible Opinions posted:I think a lot of it comes down to how easy it is for a higher quality fanfiction to just change the names and other obvious bits to make an original piece of fiction and not bother to keep it associated as fanfiction. Whereas even the highest quality mod will have difficulty disguising that it's built from another game's bones. Leaving aside the fact that many quite distinct games get created with the same "bones" (namely, the engine), you have heard of Counter-Strike, right?

Instead of having a server with all the character items and allowing them to be provided to players when they need them, every single player needs to hold an encrypted ledger of everyone's character items! Also do some bitcoin mining for me kthx!" I'll take the cat, thanks.

Now to be fair, if this is anything like it was when Dan was running it, he might not be writing his own script. So I wouldn't go after him to bash him online and doxx him or whatever. It's just a sad introduction to a new host.
