I'm sure Russ Pitts, the guy who very specifically took The Escapist back from the chud that ran it for the purpose of de-chudding it and hiring back people it got rid of like Moviebob, Critical Miss, etc. is secretly alt-right because he thinks Blizzard kinda couldn't really read their gigantic and long-standing fanbase.

Is the latter bit where the Bob "Eugenics" Chipman thing comes from?

No that comes from him going "it's a shame the nazis had to ruin eugenics for everyone". He figured out that was too overt so now he just says things like "conservatives aren't properly evolved human beings" and "people are too stupid for democracy to work, we should leave everything to The Elites".

Better, more uplifting content: Bon Appetit released a new "Pastry Chef Attempts..." (or Gourmet Makes) vid today!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sl_9VMeAWg

These vids get insanely popular very quickly - everyone likes to see fancy versions of popular sweet treats, it happens. They're fantastic - the best sort of video that Lindsay talked about in her "Manufacturing Authenticity" vid because it always seems like everyone in the Bon Appetit test kitchen has such a good rapport with each other anyway. Everyone thought these vids might be done because Claire Saffitz left her job at BA a couple of months back but looks like she's still going to be doing these vids regardless.

This rules, I love this series and I'm glad that Claire's back to continue it.

Don't forget Persona 3 having a predatory trans woman. Persona has regressed as a series on some of these issues, Persona 2 Innocent Sin let you make your MC gay and everyone in your party just accepts it. Persona 2 sadly was't as good on trans issues since there is apparently a minor scene where a trans man is misgendered by someone in your party.



Persona 2 can also go gently caress itself.

This is the worst Bizarro book I have ever laid eyes on. What the hell kind of ending was that, with the guy doing major prison time and getting rear end raped by his cellmate for what? Looking up leaked nudes of celebrities? And he resigns himself to the rape, as if it's a proportionate sentence or something. What a milquetoast viewpoint.

Just setting aside the fact that Smash Ultimate came out and had a million characters in the base game, the only reason fighting game DLC is so ubiquitous (to the point that you seem to believe it's a necessity) is that the game companies realized it was an easy con. Getting rid of the ability to continue with that con, while perhaps stunting fighting games in the immediate future (some companies might try to continue to get by doing as little work as possible), consumer backlash would likely pressure them into putting out a complete game. What a thought!

And it's not just obvious add-on stuff like additional characters that fall into the "should be in the base game, but publishers are assholes" category. But that's a tangential discussion.

this seems extremely optimistic in the face of street fighter 4's release strategy.

I think it's just a matter of having a range of games of varying complexity, where at one end you've got easy-to-play games like Smash Bros, DBFZ, or Soul Calibur. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, you've got more complex games like Tekken or Virtua Fighter.

I'm not familiar with the DBF auto-combo thing, so I don't know how it works specifically. However, I know that there's a function in Devil May Cry 5 that allows for easy combos or something along those lines. For someone like me who's had difficulties with games like Bayonetta, I think something like that would be helpful. At the same time though, since I haven't played any of the Devil May Cry games yet, I feel like I should learn how to do the combos properly, since if I want to go back and play the others, I'm not going to have access to the 'simple combo' option.

VF hasn't had a new game since 2012, and I'm still sad about that.

The automode in DMC has been there since DMC1, and was also in Bayonetta.

e: DMC2 actually didn't have automatic.

I saw that conversation and that Dingus twitter handle is an obvious bad faith troll. Bob also spent several posts pointing out he had already addressed that now 7 year old screengrab and apologized for it. Most of the commonly posted screengrabs Bob more or less directly said that he doesn't believe any of that.

The criticisms of Bob ultimately come down to a bad faith belief that because Bob is a "liberal", then the worst possible interpretation is justified, regardless of all claims or context to the contrary. Which results in erroneous bad faith claims like, "Bob hates poor people" or "Bob hates blue collar workers". Or otherwise you have people working backwards for an argument to support their a priori conclusion of Bob being bad: "Well if he likes eugenics he must hate poor people" and so on. It's 100% what InnuendoStudios criticizes in his Theseus Argument video; where people make absurd claims based on a chain of custody of inferred positions, where Position B is kiiiiiinda like Position A, ergo Bob 100% believes B" and so on. While arguments to the contrary and exonerating context like, "Bob just hates Trumpists" is outright dismissed.

Or you know, also ignored because of a garbage belief that capitalism causes racism ergo racists aren't responsible and Bob is mean for picking on them and is a liberal anyways so anything is justified, everything is permitted.

He's continued spewing terrible loving opinions since 2012.
