It's important to not settle when pushing for progressive policies, if only to shift the overton window in the future: Crusader Kings 2 stream with Virgil, Matt, and Patrick Wyman.

Someone posted this in another thread. https://twitter.com/mekosoff/status/1019296647464005632 I hope that's supposed to be satire, but I'm not sure. It would make a good reading series though, just to make everyone extremely angry.

Matt should play something that gamers think is beautifully written with complex themes but is actually simplistic trash for idiot gamers, like Life is Strange

Matt should play KOTOR 2 to see the light of video games. edit: I partially take this back because the single biggest hit against video games is that KOTOR 2 was never given the chance to be completed and is now forgotten in KOTOR canon.

Groovelord Neato posted:mgs is not the series you should be using to say "actually games are worthwhile as their own medium". At least unlike other games with similar cutscene length, most RPGs for instance, MGS gameplay is fascinating and variable enough in its own right that it doesn't just turn into a pipeline to the cutscenes

matt should play half-life, it's a game about a private-defense contractor loving up and ushering forth the hellworld, and then you get to steal valor by fighting the deep state

I really like they're doing all these bonus episodes that are focused on serious topics/interviews/etc. Frees up the 'main' episodes to be funny poo poo and lets them kinda focus in on a topic that's important rather than sandwich 'hey sex workers are being treated like loving animals and no one cares on either side in power because they're seen as less than human anyway' between 'a twenty minute riff on what if The Noid ran for president on the libertarian ticket' and 'reading some weird tradcath's rant about how if you let a woman leave the house you might as well just loving burn a church down you savage'.

terrorist ambulance posted:I play a shitload of games and his criticism is Correct and True and the amount of boring "well, actually, metal gear solid..." push back that he gets just reaffirms his thesis that gamers are dumb with rotten fruit brains I don't disagree. I just want his thesis to come with some examples of what he means that aren't from the periphery of gaming, like people dying over mmo's or stuff like that. That isn't to say that doesn't illustrate what he means. Because from what i can tell he is only concerned with the immediate material repercussions of gaming rather than anything to do with the subjective aspects of the experience itself. It's just it would help more people to come around to what he means if he could actually point to x or y.

If I remember right, he got more into that in his solo guest spot on No Cartridge Required: in short, it's no surprise that someone who spends most of their waking hours in an immersive simulation designed to entertain them would have reactionary politics and dehumanize other people. Like, what is PUA poo poo but thinking that women aren't human and seduction is about technique and "dialogue options"

Are swatting deaths an indictment of the police, gamers, or gamer police trained to shoot first by video games based on methods of policing?
