https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l63nY0AYebI Anyone else watch Shaun? Produces these short essays that frequently take on alt right figures and other nonsense youtube personalities. At times he seems alarmingly similar to the group of "youtube skeptics" but I can't help but enjoy his stuff. D O R K Y fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Sep 6, 2018 |

Yeah nothing against Shaun when I wrote that. It's just this cautious approach when I come across youtubers now. One minute they're debunking flat earthers, the next they're saying the patriarchy is a myth.

GameGrumps put up 3 episodes of Commodore 64 games where they never bothered to properly configure the emulator so they get by with next to zero gameplay across all episodes. C64 games are esoteric by today's standards but it seemed beyond a reasonable doubt that the problems were on their end so the "Why is the game not working! I'm losing my mind!" schtick was real irritating. It's a shame because the intention was for Dan to be able to show some nostalgic games from his childhood which are rare and usually chill.

It's an oversimplification of the show to say it's entirely "kill em with kindness" lessons, when some of the heavier arcs in the show deal with instances of hurting/being hurt by people you love. It utilizes it's serialized story to show the lasting effects and try to teach that emotional intelligence. The show does have a villain problem where almost all tension is killed almost immediately after a villain's introduction, but I don't think the show is irresponsible in that depiction.

To give myself a break from another "surprise, Boogie is a Nazi again" reaction, I'm just gonna address this: Zwiebel posted:Are his video game hot takes like that too or something? He's one of those Youtube Gamer Boys, right? Boogie's videogame opinions are extremely simplistic and surface level. He will often present a very "us vs them" viewpoint and argument when discussing gaming controversies or perceived slights against the gamer collective. His video about playstation crossplay has a thumbnail with the caption "WE WIN", his battlefield 5 video is titled "EA vs The World," even his recent Telltale video seems to be more concerned about the possibility of finishing out TWD final season and lamenting no Wolf Among Us 2 than getting into the pretty awful state the employees find themselves in. Gamers are a group that need to be made up to for perceived slights in his eyes with a dash of lip service given to an industry that he doesn't fully understand to have the appearance of being the adult in the room. Which is why he also has his Francis character so he can loudly provide an unreasonable foil of what a selfish ignorant gamer REALLY looks like. He produced two videos about the spider-man ps4 "puddlegate", one where Francis loudly demands its return and rants about PC gaming being superior, the next one of himself saying gamers should still be "cautious" when buying the game and judge for themselves if there's a graphical downgrade. Maybe he should introduce a nazi character in his goal of the appearance of 100% impartiality. D O R K Y fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Oct 4, 2018 |

Speedrunning brings a fair amount of appreciation to bad games. Watch any of the past couple of years of GDQ's awful blocks. Small communities will pour hundreds of hours into bad games and come out with a greater understanding of them. Often times what makes a game bad to play casually are quirks that make them into great speedruns. If you want ppl playing bad games and enjoy them for what they are in the same vein as how people watch The Room, thats about the closest analog I can think of.

Max Wilco posted:SimCity 2013 ships with always-online single-player. I feel like this is a sign of how game development has changed in the past decade. The first tweet isn't necessarily wrong in it's assertion, just massively wrong in hindsight. While patching Sim City to work offline did come to pass, during the time it wasn't an outsider couldn't say with authority that the resources to make a sweeping change to the structure of their shipped project was feasible or not. This isn't just a question of technical feasibility, but of time and money and how that shakes out in the end. And that's how things were for a long time, so leaning on that past assumption wasn't too crazy I think, even though his wording was really defensive. Now it seems like as the investments get larger and larger, the ability to about-face and really hunt after that return on investment is more probable than ever. It crazy to me that a game like No Man's Sky went through as much development after shipping to turn it into a game that people actually wanted to play, especially for a game that's a one time purchase with no DLC or microtransactions. Another example being the Xbox One with how much they were willing to completely change direction.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:thing is, people hacked simcity to be playable offline in like, a week. and the game itself could lose connection but remain playable for up to half an hour, as many found out on release day when the servers were hosed. from day 1, gies was 100% completely, demonstrably wrong in saying that. I guess I mean more in like EA saying "there's not gonna be a new Sim City without some kind of online aspect so we can push Origin" and them underestimating the environment that exists now where game companies feel more pressure to go back and change course on those missteps. Gies probably was only talking about technical feasibility but it was just the norm before this generation of consoles that games didn't change like that, so why not take the developer's word if that's what you're used to.

Archer666 posted:The secret of Eva is that Asuka is best girl. I know it's kind of angry joe's schtick to do a bunch of dress up, but I'm kind of sick of props being used to establish the reviewer's "cred" with the series. Take LGR's recent video on 76, where's he's flanked by boxes for Fallout 1+2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout New Vegas and a Fallout 4 lunch box. I think it just has the side effect of just keeping the brand in people's faces for longer, for a game that will ultimately utilize that public consciousness staying power once their first round of content updates rolls around. Then you'll start seeing articles like "Fallout 76 then & now" about how now's finally a great time to jump in. Ultimately marketing will keep this game alive and no hard lessons will be learned.

Dapper_Swindler posted:true. though my favorite new vegas was broken mess when it came out, but it was also, you know, new vegas. if bethesda starts adding features and content fixes for 76, i might give it a shot someday. It's more of an extension of my personal feelings on Fallout 4 and the direction of the series, but I don't think a "fixed" and "better" Fallout 76 is at all what I want. I'd rather Bethesda take their lumps on 76 and then deliver something really bold and different for their next games. I'd hate for the lessons learned to be "well people didn't like it when the servers went down, but they're still really into Vault Boy so let's keep doubling down on that."

Andrast posted:Did something happen with pewdiepie that sparked this? From what I can tell there's a youtube channel for an indian record label called t-series that is close to overtaking pewdiepie's subscriber count, making it the number 1 subscribed channel on youtube. I think the reason for the explosion in subscribers for t-series is new accounts registered in india are auto-subscribed. People are either into the popularity contest or panicking from a COMPANY being at the top of youtube so they're throwing their weight behind the internet's favorite n-bomber.

They apparently have a problem with child porn getting onto their site, enough to where apple pulled their app from the app store for a period of time. Lesser issue was just the amount of porn bots that crop up if you follow any tags with any kind of traction. Two weeks ago they attempted a ban purge to tackle the issues where (surprise) a ton of artists got caught in the cross fire. They had an appeal process for accounts that felt they got wrongly targeted which seemed like an okay solution but here we are. It seems like a killing blow that will accelerate what was already a pretty big exodus to newgrounds, pixiv, deviant art, etc. edit: correction. the tumblr app is still not in the app store.

Flubby posted:It's times like this I have to wonder if he's for real or a super elaborate act. He's Wile E. Coyote. nine-gear crow posted:He once did a 20 minute unboxing video on the collectors edition of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII... and never opened the box. If he's not some kind of hypermoron then he is the Andy Kaufman of the Internet Era and the joke is flying so far over all our heads it's in orbit around Jupiter now. "this guy is a total moron, but maybe he's andy kaufman 2" What's with people thinking people don't have the capacity to be stupid on the internet and instead think it's more likely that they're a performance artist who would ruin their life for no gain other than constant derision?
