People Make Games - Chris Bratt (of Eurogamer) and Quintin Smith (of Shut Up & Sit Down) tell the stories of the people involved in games, both developers and Gamers. "Can you really get rich in the world's only "cash-based" MMO?" is a wild watch.


People make games is really great. the closest game journalism has ever gotten to actual journalism.

Wasn’t breadtube just wishful thinking by internet posters writing erotic friendfiction about their favorite youtube channels? It’s true insofar as people know each other and collaborate, plus have some prominent self-declared enemies in common, but I don’t think it was ever a branding thing or some kind of deliberate effort, though I don’t really follow many of the more narrowly political communists/anarchists who don’t do scripts or jokes.

i have only ever seen people use the term in context of how dumb it is or aggro twitter people complaining about all vaguely left youtube videos

On one hand Dan's tweet is very lame because people have good reasons to be angry and violent towards our current power structures. On the other hand, performative antifa supersoldiers are boring as hell and my response to bloodthirsty "we should kill those motherfuckers" people tends to be...y'know, no one is stopping you. I think it's just unproductive as hell anyway, it's people jerking off over revenge fantasies instead of organizing anything because they know they won't ever have to put their rear end on the line.

Violence is a tool, not the endgame.

lol yeah did we forget that like a month ago Shuan tweeted about how people only liked Vtubers because they had mysogynistic and racist ideas about Asian women, and didn't clarify he was only talking about alt-right Vtube fans? Then when called out on it went all "Trap Sprung :smug:"?

so youre saying you misread his tweet and youre still mad about it a month later

It's also worded straight out of the conservative deniable plausibility handbook. If you don't believe me try the phrases "Muslim terrorists" or "Mexican criminals" instead, they're technically specific but you know what's being said when the usual suspects say it. It's not just bigots who would react negatively, it's literally anyone who feels defensive about the topic which considering it's anime-adjacent is a lot of people. It's certainly not intentional but it is poorly worded which has been pointed out is a theme with left twitter.

"Adults shouldn't demand superhero movies be R-rated to cater to them, it should be for everyone." - The internet creator

"Remember when the first Mortal Kombat games were coming out and all the kids wanted as much blood and gore as possible" - Me, the intellectual.

People have this weird idea of kids IMO, probably because they either can't remember their childhood or have this idealized version of in their heads. Kids are monsters who enjoy over-the-top media violence and gore just as much as anyone.

his point is that when fans ask for r rated superhero movies they just want the same children's movies but with blood and superheroes, swears and women getting raped and not actual stories for adults. he's not arguing for censorship or anything. just writing thats more thoughtful like alan moore and less like the dumb poo poo that he inspired

Things is, if you're a mod for a community that size, what you really are is a Community Manager who isn't getting paid to do their job.

Which is, like, fine for unofficial fan communities, but should not be fine for any space officially under the umbrella of a media company or personality.

Edit: and to be clear, I understand why a smaller company or individual wouldn't be interested in that deal. I just don't like Olly framing it as "oh, they're more trouble than their worth cause someone always kicks off drama," as if there isn't a direct causal link between that happen and poor moderation.

everything about the writing in bethesda fallout games is so bizzare and inconsistent. it'd make more sense if they were universally poo poo but they always sneak in one or two areas and quests that are actually well made and thoughtful. something is just wrong with they write and design games at the highest levels.

Tbh I don't care enough about either show to have a ballanced opinion on the actual merits of either just expressing a general frustration with a critical consensus that biases towards stuff I genuinely don't find interesting.

Mainly I just have the same attitude towards ganstershit as people who don't like cringe comedy. I just don't connect or like a character when they're willingly participating in organised crime. A whole show about self serving criminals making the world a shitter place just doesn't appeal to me no matter how well drawn and acted.

I'm not against characters committing crimes in general its just these loving tedious mafiosoes sitting around pasta resturants getting randos beat up for not eating their spaghetti correctly or whatever petty bullshit they've arbitarilly decided is a matter of honour and death that I just can't stand.

i dont really care about her broader thrust of whether its good that people write fanfic or not, because the problems with IP and genre fiction run much deeper than that, but everyone obviously knows what shes talking about when she says fanfiction and its not loving milton. come on. its completely cool to like bad genre art and think its valuable and you dont need to pretend like its anything other than what it is
