Nuns with Guns posted:Polar Bear Cafe and Chi's Sweet Home are cute, but they're also made for actual elementary school-aged children and there's not much more to them besides being cute and kiddy-funny. Yeah, but sometimes that's all you want from a show.  They also seem more palatable in terms of shows you'd recommend to people who don't watch anime.

Kim Justice posted:Those Cybershell Sonic videos still look pretty sharp now. The language may not necessarily be for everyone cause it's mid-late 2000s but this was back in the day when lots of gameplay on YT was still recorded with cameras and this was amazing by comparison. Some people in the UK scene still record with cameras mind...it's actually comforting and nice, just chill gaming and nattering. And Deceased Crab still does the same stuff as ever, for something closer to SA. My favorite bit of Cybershell lore continuity is how in his Knuckles run of Sonic 3, he talks about buying Reduced Fat Ritz Crackers and Diet Snapple, and in his Half Life: Blue Shift LP, he's got both of those sitting off to the side of the monitor.

A big flaming stink posted:apparently old howard phillips recanted being a giant shithead in his later years????? Weird that this gets posted just after I finish reading the Stygian LP. I've read about this before (not this letter, but the general topic), where towards the end of his life, Lovecraft started to turn around and work towards being a better person. However, it apparently doesn't get much attention, as opposed to talking about the name of his cat (which was apparently named by his dad). You can criticize the racism in Lovecraft's work, but it's hard to come down on him as a person. He was a shut-in, who was paranoid of nearly everything, which probably helped fuel his racism. He was not right in the head. Plus, he made little-to-no money off of his work and was poor for most of his life. His wife left him after like two years.

John Murdoch posted:For the record, I wasn't trying to be smug. I was forced to assume something was dumb and different about Twitch on mobile, which I have basically no experience with whatsoever, because hiding chat on desktop is so ridiculously simple that I can't imagine that somebody legitimately looked for it but couldn't find it. Some streamers will also enable 'slow mode' where there's a timecap to how quickly you can submit messages, as well as limiting chat to only people who follow the channel or are subscribed. That can cut down on message spam.

Endorph posted:the tweet's vaguely worded but the real issue is the 'hit dog will holler!' catchphrasing in the replies. like yeah, everyone whos mildly defensive about being associated with bigots, is secretly a bigot, lol There was a tweet a few days ago where some was talking about the new Crash Bandicoot game, bringing up Tawna's redesign, going, "  Heh, I bet the AltRightGamerNerdz™ are up in arms about this". However, the general reaction I saw to that tweet was, "What the gently caress are you talking about?"In short:  Irony Be My Shield posted:Everything is political. But that does not imply that you can reliably use someone's political alignment to predict which pieces of media they will enjoy (or vice versa) Yeah, I'm sorry, but that rings hollow to me. I'm not saying it's wrong, but your choice of entertainment is what people use nowadays as the barometer for your political affiliation.

Pants Donkey posted:Cybershell really making up for lost time. You know, there have been dozen of cases where I've been miffed with channels because of the long wait between uploads. This is the first time I've thought, "Holy hell, how are you uploading videos this fast? Slow down!" It's like that, 'please stop praying for my grandpa, he's become too powerful' joke, but for internet videos. Of course, I also didn't know Cybershell had gone quiet for like two years. Again, I assume he spent all that time making and editing videos.

DeafNote posted:I also only just recently discovered NakeyJakey on this thread because of his Last of Us video (and thought he made some good points against it at that) Well, I remember the thread was talking about how one of the shirts he was wearing was from Cum Town, but maybe that's not a qualification for being terrible. When he did his video on the FF7 challenge between Dead Tree and CirclMaster, I checked out the link to CirclMaster YouTube channel. Looking at his channel list, I noticed Rags among the channels listed. I think Rags is pals with MauLer, so that's a little eyebrow-raising. That said, he's also got Retsupurae and UpIsNotJump listed, so who knows? Would you like to hear about more content creators who might be bad or have done wrong? Kim Justice posted:Bah, I've heard this. I remember watching cheese a few years back when I started looking into Twitch/speedruns. What happened that made his transphobia come out? I know about Caleb, but what did Witwix do? I remember he was popular for running I Wanna Be the Boshy, and I think people said he was an SA goon, but I don't recall hearing about anything bad he did.

Terrible Opinions posted:I mean the game's framing really wants you to sympathize with Akechi. Hence lettign him live in Royal. So I don't see it as too big a leap for fans. The lack of a hard "no gently caress that guy, I don't care" dialogue option when he appears to sacrifice himself is really the game's fault not any particular horny fan's. That's the exact opposite of what I wanted from Royal.

The problem I have the 'well, what's wrong with people making money off of their hobby?' argument is that at some point, it stops being a hobby, and starts becoming a job. I think the issue with making money off of being a content creator through Patreon is that if you decide to switch gears to something new, or you get burned out and want to take a break, you can easily lose you patrons and be out of revenue. Plus, depending on your setup, you might have people donating with the stipulation that you play [X], or talk about [Z], and then you have to decide whether you want to go through with it, or reject it. Like, set up a Ko-Fi or something instead. At least that way, you get some tips for your work, and you're not basing your livelihood based off it.

If anything, I would also like to make a living making videos or streaming games (although that would require me to actually sit down and do one of those kinds of things consistently). At the same time, though, I look at what happened with Spoony, the fallout of Channel Awesome/Change the Channel, or some of the general drama that comes with content creators or streamers, and I start having apprehensions about trying to pursue that kind of thing. I dunno.

I've known that for like four years, when he mentioned it on his Tumblr, or whatever non-Youtube site it was. - Only thing that sort of irks me with Brutalmoose is that he moved away from talking about old Win3.1/Win 95 stuff. That's not to say his new stuff his bad, however (though I've not watched much of it yet). I do think it's brave of him to watch unmarked tapes he gets. Leal posted:I called slowbeef a sellout directly to him, I already said my piece there. Don't you worry. What did Slowbeef say in response? Augus posted:one of the stated reasonings behind the rule change was that people were always allowed to advertise their Patreon or whatever off-site and in their videos, which in practice meant screenshot LPers were being given a raw deal. Are there a lot of screenshot LPers who are plugging Patreons now? Not asking that as some sort of comeback; I'm just curious, since it seems like there's more video LPs than there are screenshot LPs.

I must be in the minority, because I picked up and read The Boys a couple of weeks ago (the whole series was in a bundle on Humble Bundle, along with Project Superpowers), and I really liked it. It made me want to check out Garth Ennis' run on Punisher, which I remember hearing was really good. Haven't seen the show yet. I don't have direct access to Prime Video (just a linked account), but if the show's half as graphic as the comic was, I don't imagine anyone at home will want to watch it. Then again, I remember they were watching the adaptation of Preacher that was on AMC.
