Under the vegetable posted:Like Chapo should probably hire an audio guy or spend ten minutes figuring out how to mix Matt's audio into the show properly if they're going to be making a million dollars a year or whatever ludicrous dollar amount this podcast pulls in. What's their setup? It always sounds like they're recording Matt via skype call. IDK why they don't have him record his audio separately.

SunAndSpring posted:I don't really feel that gaming causes libertarian/reactionary views so much as the type of person who can afford to game frequently enough for it to be a real hobby (as gaming is far more expensive than other comparable hobbies thanks to DRM, DLC, microtransactions, gaming platforms and games being expensive, et cetera) turn out to be white dudes with lots of disposable income and that's really the prime target for dumb reactionary poo poo these days. So I don't really agree with Matt's view on gaming somehow being more alienating than burning oneself out on Harry Potter slashfic or becoming a Randroid after reading Atlas Shrugged. I agree with the point you're making but your reasoning is off. A $60 game bought on sale after a price drop for $15 can give someone hundreds of hours of playtime. That's way more affordable and far more entertainment value per dollar than anything I would consider a comparable hobby. The things that make gaming less accessible are a somewhat large initial investment to get started (a PC or console) and the excessive amount of leisure time required to game frequently enough to be the kind of rear end in a top hat that identifies as a gamer.

Maybe it didn't land as well, but I thought it was funny how they were painstakingly deconstructing every single last element of Huckabee's tweets to try and find a shred of humor, or getting intensely agitated about who knows more about frozen ground deer meat. Felt in line with Cross's stuff like, well, pretty much all of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, cringing your way through a painful situation so horrible it comes all the way around to being funny again. it seemed really out of place considering before that Cross wasn't in character at all. the deconstruction of the tweets was gold though

If your thesis is that video games disengage people from being active citizens who have face-to-face interactions with each other, presenting an argument based on price/value (hours played) doesn't do what you think it does.

I enjoyed the David Cross episode, but it did feel 'off' somewhat, and that's because we're used to people like James Adomian and Twitter personalities that know the Chapo crew personally and journos who are actually good lefties like Taibbi and Scahill. They can fit in far more readily than a David Cross or Patton Oswalt (who I hope comes on Chapo sometime) because they are either fans already or friends already.

Yeah, that. I just know he follows them on Twitter and would likely agree with them on 99% of the poo poo they believe, just like most smart people do. Also, Rebecca Traister's name came up yesterday, writing a fellatio piece on Hillary Clinton for NYMag. Anyone remember which episode it was where they mentioned her? She wrote ALL THE SINGLE LADIES~ and was wrong about everything, as you could expect.

Serf posted:dumb libs, especially those without money, are just one bad day away from being a socialist I think that's a lot of why you're seeing a rise in popularity for Chapo and the DSA and Bernie. Chapo's got 14k subs. Bernie's the #1 most favorably-viewed politician in America. DSA I'm hearing poo poo about for the first time ever. Trump's election was that Bad Day for everyone. Hillbots pushed back against reality by denying that Hillary was entirely at fault even before the 500 external factors like Russia and Comey. Everyone else is turning to the left and seeing that, yeah, a $15 minimum wage and Medicare For All are pretty loving great ideas right about now.

Like pointing out that you can get gets for cheap doesn't really address the problem of people disengaging from society nor that capitalists are cynical as hell and have no issues nickel and diming their customer base to death with stuff like the free-to-play model.

This is not a super big deal in video games, but while I'm at a loss for easy analogies at the moment, I feel like there are a lot of other markets where consumers just get conditioned to being jerked around, buried in advertising, and given worse-than-useless customer support.
