On a sidenote, I find it amusing that people cry when famous celebrities that they've never met die. I love Robin's work, but I don't feel the need to go ball my eyes out. I'd rather save my tears for something more meaningful.

We already have Youtube Let's Players appearing on TV, radio, and movies. At this point, they might as well replace all celebrities in the future. When going to a prestigious acting academy, one of the first classes you'll attend will be on what wacky slurs to shout when playing a bad flash game for the internet. Let' Plays will be played in theaters in full 3D as blockbusters and be sold on Bluray. The future is here, the future is now.

slowbeef posted:Honestly, I can't believe he'd stoop so low as to pretend... There's a YouTuber who basically used it to talk not about Robin Williams but about depression and poo poo in general and mostly spoke about his Mom's battle with depression and how it's a difficult thing to deal with etc. It was more so intended for awareness and to shut people up who go "just get over it you big baby" so I'm not sure if him monetizing that vid or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3twEyRy93U Edit - It looks like he didn't. It's sorta funny seeing the two ends of the spectrum, dude who posts a 19 second ad-enabled video crying over the death and a dude who posts an 20 min long monologue about depression and how it affected his life and telling people if they are depressed or think they are they should seek assistance while not monetizing it.

I feel it's better to go "Hey, this guy probably killed himself because of depression so let's talk depression for a bit and how it affects lives of others around!" rather than "Hey, I'm crying because this guy is dead!" I read the news like any other normally functioning citizen of society I know he's dead you don't need to tell me!

The second guy also opened his description with links to hotlines and mental health subreddits rather than a video about how to be creepy to asian women at conventions.

Really, the problem is with people who don't know how to react properly to a girl dressing how she wants. But when you have pandering like this and you're perpetuating the whole "I HAVE BOOBS YOU SHOULD FREAK OUT OVER MY BOOBS" thing, you're kind of a shithead too.

From what I know, Kaceytron is just a character who gets paid a ton of money from nerds to make fun of them, and troll the League of Legends community. She succeeds to the point that people are donating her money, just to insult her in the donation messages.

Cheez posted:Well, that'd be twisting the truth a bit. The "chasing him on top of a moving train" guy supposedly sent a miniscule amount of money to the addresses he was following in order to track them easier, or something like that. I'm not sure of the process but it's not entirely retarded and maybe even somewhat smart for bitcoin, but entirely retarded for real world money and generally any situation like this involving it. quote:He was desperately creating new wallet addresses and moving his 49 retirement wallets through them, but having to wait for 3 or 4 confirmations each time before moving them again. Each time I caught up, I "666"ed him - sent 0.00666 bitcoins to mess up his lovely round numbers like 4,000. It wasn't to track them easier. Also, if someone hasn't heard of this before, the guy he was chasing turned out to be a bitcoin exchange and the dude who stole the 96k bitcoins were never found. E: LPs sure are weird, huh?

This is kind of random, but I really don't get LPers who enable game modes where you can only have one save file. It seems like you're just begging to lose 3 hours of footage and be unable to rerecord it. It's possible I'm just too paranoid, though, since I don't think I've ever actually seen a series die in the middle because of this happening.

It seems like you're just begging to lose 3 hours of footage and be unable to rerecord it. Sometimes games only have one save file and there's no easy way to back up. I've seen LPs where the LPer lost a save file, but the LPs usually recover whether from someone else taking over or the LPer simply replaying all the way back. I always back up many of my saves, since there's been times I went to an earlier save to show something off I missed or just learned about.

When I eventually LP Dead Space 3 you will see the absolute epitome of this because Dead Space 3's challenge mode requires you to beat the game on the hardest difficulty with one single life. When you die it deletes the save file and you have to start the challenge over. Obviously I will be going for it because it'll be fun to see me succumb to anxiety, but boy just thinking about the multiple failures when I tried it off camera are giving me high blood pressure.

I've seen LPs where the LPer lost a save file, but the LPs usually recover whether from someone else taking over or the LPer simply replaying all the way back. That's valid, but not quite what I'm getting at. If you're playing Pokemon then you have your one save file. And some games have one-life challenges and stuff. To show that obviously you have to run into a lovely situation and suck up the game-enforced single save limitation. I'm talking more about people who play X-Com or Mount & Blade and explicitly put it on Ironman. Literally the only thing it does is locks you to one save file. There are no effects on difficulty, content, or anything else. This is different from, say, Minecraft or Diablo 3 Hardcore where it autosaves every 3 seconds anyway and there's a major difference in death consequences (and in Diablo, drop rates). It just seems like a better policy would be to say "for purposes of this LP I won't be savescumming, but I'm not enabling ironman so I can keep multiple saves for recording purposes."

Dude, please don't. Save yourself. Just LP it normally on the hardest difficulty. I've played Dead Space 3, it's not worth the stress.
