Nah, it's separate from the ads, and usually it's the flavor of the week that YouTube decides to Signal Boost.

It's the end of 2018 and Larry discovers online acronyms, dating apps and the most basic fetishes. What's the deal with youtube channels, amirite?

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I never trust youtube streamers that represent themselves as smugly animated avatars. What are you trying to hide.

I’m surprised there is a Larry game. I thought the last one didn’t sell well that it just died. That trailer was a bit cringy though.

The Apu video is really dumb because everyone on the original staff agreed that Apu only existed as a funny voice but when the first wave of writers left and the new writers who grew up watching the Simpsons came on around season 5 like Oakley and Weinstein, they started writing Apu as an actual character and that's how you got episodes like Much Apu About Nothing whose look at immigration hasn't changed 20 years later.

That hotdiggedydemon guy was banned from Twitter for being too openly racist. Even former Grand Wizard David Duke hasn't had that honor.

e: totally normal recommends today. I have to watch out Canadian Fire Ant guy as well who pops up randomly but I think his ants died

I straight up adblock the sidebar with recommendations for it and have the youtube page I open just go straight to subscriptions, and also have my watch history emptied out and paused. I tend to just get recommends at the end of youtube videos that are from the people I'm subscribed to or fans of those channels making random fancontent.

I'm going to make a game where instead of spending money to get power ups or good things, the game degrades and gets less functional and you have to pay money just to maintain the game at a base level. I'll call it Call of Entropy Fight Go.

I always wanted to see a Metroid game where Samus is putting the powerups back, and you have to get more creative to leave areas than it did to get into them.

I played the intro of Destiny 2 and it's fine I guess, but if that's supposed to be a taste of having a max level character I don't see how people spend hundreds of hours on the game.

Titanfall 2 felt better. Destiny 2 feels sluggish and dated in terms of movement.

I mean, it's loot game stuff + it's a co-op focused game I can play with friends, even if they're not good at fps games.

I agree with you that Titanfall 2 is a better playing game, though. But, at least in my case, I have multiple friends that I like to game with who will not touch competitive games period. I know TF2 added a co-op mode later in it's life, but I could never convince any of those people to try it.

Today in REvil4 my new frat buddy tried to kill me but a pair of boobs saved my life then I got in a fight with THE LOCH MESS MONSTER and I killed it with harpoons to the face before having a heart attack. Oh yeah and this creepy old guy is following me around and keeps whipping off his trenchcoat. Is this what grooming looks like?
