At this point I'm more bewildered that they ever got this far without the site imploding, if this is the kind of PR we're dealing with.

I think it's important to remember how many people just watch NC on their YouTube feed and are done with it until next week. They're not reading comments or looking at Twitter and being exposed to all this. Doug himself would have to do some hosed up poo poo ON the show to really hit rock bottom.

I mean didn't Doug originally want to kill off the character because he was tired of it? Seems like a silver lining for him, at least.

That video was probably made well in advance of the Channel Awesome stuff, but I definitely started thinking of that when she got into media and reconciling it with immoral behavior from executives. Really good stuff.

In Brad's case, there's a difference giving a friend the benefit of the doubt and being a coward. At some point being a good friend means calling them out on their poo poo.

Dapper_Swindler posted:jesus she is worse than boogie, i think. thats basically "well just because the facists are driving you out to the woods with guns at your backs doesn't mean they will kill you" level poo poo. while i don't think trump personally gives two fucks about LGBT people one way or another, he is surrounded by people who at "best" want them stripped of all rights and trump likes the approval of these monsters. While I’m sure a queer person can sit down with him and get decent treatment (because literally anyone on the planet can get what they want from Trump through flattery), he is still very bigoted to his core. You can’t say someone doesn’t give two fucks when they ban trans people from the military on loving TWITTER completely out of the blue.

It’s real frustrating that we showed that people into gaming could organize, and we could get some real change in the way too chummy relationship some game sites have with publishers, but instead that power was used to show that nerds are actually terrible, terrible people. Are there any journalism outlets funded solely via patreon or something. I don’t mean people like hbomberguy, a person or small group that put out a video essay every so often, but a site with a staff and regular coverage of industry news?

The scummy thing was that SimCity 2013 sold well and had decent hype because of an hour demo. A lot of flaws like the tiny plot of land you get were brushed off as just being a limitation of the demo. Nope.

Weapon durability I can take or leave, but the old bad thing in FE is permadeath. While I’m glad there’s an option to turn it off, it’s a very lazily implemented mechanic that’s been practically untouched since the beginning. For 90% of players it just adds an extra failure trigger to levels (“Don’t let anybody die unless it’s some new person that you have no intention of using”) and there’s so much more you could do with it. Lose a character another character had a high support with? Well that character goes into a berserker rage when fighting whatever killed them. Or maybe they get a general buff but take more damage from whatever weapon killed their friend/spouse. The kind of poo poo that creates a more memorable, unique experience than “Oh Bob died in my game because I already had a good archer and I didn’t feel like starting the level over.”

The support system in Fates was some real square peg/round hole poo poo. I get that it’s a big part of why the series came back from the brink, but geez was that some slapped on poo poo. Even worse is that the game had only two queer pairings, which were exclusive to different versions so I hope you like the version with the pairing that you want. And you also don’t produce a child from it, which...playing the realism card is pretty loving bold when the game has a Plane of Accelerated Aging so you can send your son or daughter into war.

Knowing your audience is part of PR. Like a press release saying “No Diablo 4” is smart. Having a mobile game that you aren’t even developing as your capstone announcement is...less so.

Just fyi, but Toby said Deltarune doesn’t really have distinct endings this time around. Like, there are differences in how the ending occurs, but nothing so radical as in Undertale.

Just really sad releasing your first lesbian character in your game decade-old game and expecting praise for it. Just makes it all the more transparent that you’re trying to cover your rear end in the most cynical way possible.

Twitter announced a few days ago that intention misgendering is grounds for punishment, which is why terfs are all cranky now. Of course, people still eat suspensions for calling people terfs, so it remains to be seen how consistently the rule will be followed, if at all.

Ehhhh I'm not really buying that since the bulk of Yelling Internet Man videos were aimed specifically at low-hanging fruit like blockbuster bombs or cheaply made video game adaptations. Rolfe did it because he had a love for making films and video games, but for a lot of other people it was just real easy to produce a video where feign outrage that Bad Thing is Bad. I guess the difference is that these types of videos were rarely critiques in the same way as you'd expect from a game or film critic.

You're getting physical objects that are equal in value to the money spent, they're priced to entice a single one-off purchase instead of a constant stream of small ones and the expectation is "What will you get from this small range? It's a surprise..." rather than "KEEP ROLLING FOR THE RARE ONES!! KEEP. ROLLING. FOREVER!!"

Yeah, the episode was definitely more about “stereotyping and gender tribalism makes no sense” as opposed to anything remotely about gender fluidity, but that whole episode is a follow-up to 90s shows and how they were supposedly pushing an lgbt agenda (spoiler: they weren’t). From that perspective you can see why he included it, even if he read something that the writers VERY LIKELY did not intend.
