How many slurs is he allowed before we can hate on him, and how many doxings equal a slur

I’ve never heard him utter a slur. There’s a reason Ellen has him on. He’s safe. As for the clips of him yelling gently caress it, it’s one of the reasons he and the crew he plays with are mostly family friendly. When you stream 8 hours a day, 6 days a week it’s not as easy to hide behind a fake personality. Dudes generally a nice guy who’s a little awkward, but way less cringe than a lot of steamers. Just hearing a lot of jealously in this thread.

Back on topic though. RDR2 is slow but enjoyable, but I have no desire to play it for more than an hour at a time. I still think it’s my game of last year though. After I beat it I think I’ll start with my bioshock collection. Are all 3 solid? I’ve never played.

1 is ok but dated, 2 gets better the more you play (and the DLC is great), 3 starts insanely strong but then there is an exact moment where you realise what the game is going to be and feel a bit sad. Also has some hilarious BOTH SIDES social commentary that they tried to backpedal on in the DLC

Bioshock 1 is okay, and okay Minerva’s Den is neat, but skip the rest.

Or just play System Shock 2 again.

He used the N word when he was singing a rap song on stream. Apparently the word was not even in the original version of the song, he ad libbed it in. :shrug:

He's otherwise pretty safe, but that's a thing that happened. He apologized for it but idk. It's not hard not to say that word

There’s a lot of hate for him in this thread, but I watch his stream a couple of times a week. He’s very smart, and he’s trying to do this so he and his family are set for life. He also works his butt off, and his general attitude is solid. He’s family friendly, and the amount of hate he gets is ridiculous. Even the whole won’t play with women thing was completely blown out of proportion.

What’s good games (one of the better video game podcast out there, hosted by women) had a good break down about the issue earlier in the year and actually came out defending him.

He's a racist lol

Pro Athletes do it all the time and when it gets picked up by field mics they have to pay a fine. Streamers just cut out the middle man and keep the field mic on their face at all times

It's weird that modern life has become so isolating that people will donate a small fortune to charismatic strangers who can convincingly mimic shared emotional responses with them from hundreds if not thousands of miles away. People always talk disparagingly about the sexbots, but at least that's some actual human contact, in a sense. Bring on the sexbots I say, they can't be much worse than this.

Hi, is this tech support? After the latest update my sexbot won't stop saying gamer words.

I don't think when late stage capitalism as a term was coined that the people who did ever imagined that something like Twitch streamers would eventually become a major example of it.

It's possible that maybe there will be a mass realization of the isolation we've put ourselves into and society will start to correct course. Every internet social network will need to die for that though, so it's significantly more likely that it will get worse and nobody will acknowledge anyone in the real world, and those that do will be seen as weird.

I say having hardly left my apartment in the last several days because gently caress it I'm on vacation. Just need food, wine, and monster hunter.

This will be the thread I inhabit for the next year :D I am not going to sticky it because that seems a bit self aggrandising, but I will be a constant in there every sunday with a write up, a reveal of a game and a teaser of the next.

Aside from Vanquish (in order to give a few clues) there will be roughly 24 PC games and 27 PS4 games. It is still a little fluid, but should help with guessing! :D

I accidently triple posted in there. Have fun
