The thing I forgot to post about that's already been deleted was boogie2988 trying to do a hot take on Twitter and burn Disney in the process by posting a picture of that scene that has Donald Duck saluting from "Der Fuher's Face" and going "Hmmmm looks like Disney themselves are allowed to make Nazi jokes HMMMM." without realizing the historical context and that the message of Der Fuher's Face was explicitly saying that life for the average person under Nazi Germany actually sucked guys we should really go and beat up Hitler.

I'm glad pewds got dropped. His excuse was "I didn't know the guys were going to actually do the anti-jew thing!!" and then when he saw they did do it and reacted with shock he put it in the video anyway

mario golf was insanely dope in general to the point where I'm pretty sure Nintendo just forgot to check on the mario golf team for a couple years and then realized they'd accidentally produced a good game.

Does anybody actually know what constitutes hard mode or is there just a lot of hand wringing because you assume Nintendo will gently caress it up?

If they pulled a Master Quest it seems like it'd be worth it. If it's just a Hero Mode thing though yeah that's dumb.

I'm not opposed to them adding a Master Quest-style hard mode in post-launch DLC, of course. But right now we have no idea if that's what it'll be or if it'll just be like Hero Mode, and they're asking people to buy the expansion pass basically on faith that it'll be worth it.

I also don't really have a problem with season passes, just with season passes that tell you close to nothing about what they actually contain. The Witcher 3's was fine, because we had a good amount of detail up-front about what Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine would consist of, but this announcement is just so vague that there's no way of knowing if it's worth your money or not.

yes because it's not as if disney's loving management has changed in over 60 years you obese dipshit. what is it about playing games on youtube for a living that breaks people's brains.

I don't think this dude is a fascist nazi but he was a loving moron thinking he'd get away free. Of all the wacky things you could pay people to do with a Fiverr account, why was this the phrase that came to mind first? For a "joke" it's the dumbest loving thing you could go with in 2017.

My full on ignorance is showing but I can't remember another mainline Zelda/Ninty game that had DLC like this? Not a big Zelda at least?

I can only remember Fire Emblem having some maps etc but I wasn't thrilled with how that was handled overall either but there was a heckuva lot of content in the main game and the additional stuff didn't seem too major.

The additional dungeons better not just be sitting there in the main world in BotW but not accessible unless you pay, taunting people. Wouldn't be best taste.

They could have an NPC with a quest marker to tell you about the dungeon with a link to the store page like in Dragon Age: Origins.

Steep is already discounted to 30 bucks on PS4, not sure about other platforms. imo it still doesn't have enough content to be worth even that which is a massive shame.
Yeah I would nab it for 20 because it's fun to gently caress around going down slopes, but that's about my limit. There is supposed to be a feature to make your own routes to share as competition but I had so much trouble with some of the built in ones I'm not sure I would bother. Like the third or fourth one I tried ever has you snowboarding among a bunch of fences and cabins and I just gave up trying to get a gold rating on that. The controls are far too loose (like actual snow I suppose) for me to manage that without umpteen retries.

Like, it's not like you can never make jokes about race, but "when it's OK to be antisemitic" is "never, dude," which is the same answer for "When is it OK to be racist?" or "When is it OK to be misogynist?" and so on.

There's a difference between a joke about race and a racist joke. There's also a difference between a joke that makes fun of Nazis and a "joke" that just looks like some people being antisemitic.

I agree that it's ok to make racist/whatever jokes as long as the nature of the joke makes it clear you are not intending to offend people. Humor should not be gated by the possibility of offending people and in my opinion to do so empowers people who do use racist/etc humor to offend.

Pewdiepie did not do that, he paid some guys to hold up a sign that said kill all jews or whatever and then said "no but I didn't want them to do that". That's not making a joke, that's being a dumbass.

I mean, on the one hand: I'm glad he acknowledges that Pewdiepie went too far. But on the other hand, why are you jumping on Twitter to defend a joke that you didn't even know the details of? I'd be pretty embarrassed, too.

I don't mean to dogpile, Boogie seems like a generally okay dude, but I dunno, know what you're defending before jumping into a controversial topic?

Jokes about race are by nature offensive, but I guess what I meant is that you can do it without offending people's sensibilities or intending to hurt them. It's important to make that clear before you make the joke, and not by saying "I'm not racist but". Because if you do it afterward you look like an idiot like Pewdiepie.

Racially themed humor is always going to offend somebody but it helps to 1: Have some kind of a point or shared experience you're drawing from that goes beyond "people who are different from me are bad!" and 2: Actually be funny.

Not all the time, no, but it can be if you can justify it. In the case of Pewdiepie, obviously he knew people would be offended because he reacted with shock, and then he put it in the video regardless- so for him to later say "I didn't mean to offend anyone" is bullshit.

edit: And maybe I'm not giving him enough credit, maybe he really did mean for it to be in good humor. For people to laugh along with it and say "ha ha I can't believe those guys actually did it, the absolute madmen!" But the problem if that is the case is that he paid them to say that

Regardless of what was written on the sign the basic premise behind the joke is that a rich white guy is surprised to learn than a poor person in a developing country would do almost anything for any kind of money that would help alleviate crushing poverty. Truly the stuff of jokesters.
