When you say that, do you mean the interview? Cause yeah, good-rear end interview and I’ll be sending her 10 bux. If you mean actual episode, WHY YOU HOLDING OUT? GIVE IT TO ME!

Haha, no, no, the interview between Felix and Liz or whatever her name is, the transgirl who likes the word like. She's cool and I take any opportunity to listen to Felix talk about being Extremely Online growing up. Nick did the same thing on Cum Town 32, like 15 minutes in or so until 30ish: A lotta talk about IRCing and goatse and all. That sorta stuff makes me feel like maybe I'm not alone in this horrible existence. :unsmith:

I'm looking forward to it. I don't really expect much in the way of political insights outside "MGS2 predicted social media" and "Big Boss just wanted to organize his workplace", but it'll be fun to watch.

I can't wait for Virgil to play CK2 so everyone can find out what I already know: Virgil is not a very good video game player. While I have absolutely no concrete proof of this, I am 100% confident making this assertion.

crusader kings is actually about making a fun story and it's trivial to powergame into a massively powerful empire, so it's probably the worst game to demonstrate my theory.

What is this Fortnite thing. I gather that it's some Battle Royale type thing but everything about the design is the most bland and uninteresting thrown-together trash heap.

I love in the latest ep when Matt and Will talk about either party only having cultural or political capital, the GOP not having any cultural clout really does get under their skin so loving much. Even during the Bush years they had poo poo like 24.

It was originally a different game, but when PUBG got popular the developers threw together a BR mode and released it as a standalone free-to-play thing, and its popularity has vastly overshadowed the original game.

It was a left 4 dead type game with minecraft elements which was given a makeover into a battle royale game with minecraft elements when PUBG got big.

Well okay, but there's just something off about it that I can't put my finger on. Design-wise it throws a lot of different stuff in a blender, and what comes out looks very aggressively bland. Gears of War had a visual motif of "big guns, skulls, and mud" but it was still something.

and?
both major battle royale games are that way. PUBG just draws on the gun fetishist trash heap instead of the cartoony meme trash heap

there's a new one called Islands of Nyne that seems like it actually has a focused design, but it's in like pre-alpha or alpha

Part of it is that fortnite actually has an aesthetic in the tf2/overwatch pseudocartoon sense, whereas pubg was basically assembled entirely out of unity store asset packages

Is Amanda Marcotte supposed to be bad? For some reason, her name reminds me of somebody saying bad things about her, but she seems to be sensible.

she sure as hell wasn't sensible in 2016 lol

I think her greatest take was that saying "Bernie would have won" is catcalling

She's come up in some of the episodes--I believe Roqayah Chammseddine and Liza Featherstone both mentioned her. In short, she's an extremely corporate type of feminist. There was a time, not so long ago, when she was critical of that phenomenon, but in 2016 at least she was all-in for Clinton and Bernie Bros became her nemesis. I guess Salon pays well.

Yea Marcotte isn't interesting enough to be that memorable aside from the general fact she was on the 'More. Women. Guards.' style feminist push and the whole 'saying 'Bernie would have won' is basically violence' thing.

All I know about her is she was shilling for her new book on The Majority Report recently. The book is about the history of why the right is mad and wants to own the libs. Somebody called in during the second half of the show and asked Sam the host why he didn't go into Amanda's political opinions from the past election cycle and he just dismissed it, saying it wasn't relevant to the subject at hand.

I actually do remember her alluding to that Traister piece way back, just can’t recall her response and the pandagon Internet Archive backups are poo poo to navigate.

Her doubling down on the Duke Lacrosse rape case and doing a racism with the first edition of her book :allears:

Also I remember a blog post where she essentially shares Matt’s view on obligate closed toe footwear for men.
