The idea of people with too much disposable income throwing money at a guy screaming at Thanos in Fortnite sure is silly but compared to actual problems in the world today, who loving cares? Calling it a "nightmare social scenario" is a joke.

The internet does allow people to easily form fake social bonds. Whether the people doing this today would have just remained lonely in past ages, or would have been forced by their loneliness to form real bonds I dunno. Calling it a nightmare scenario does seem like hyperbole though.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Whataboutism is never a sound riposte Alright lemme put it more bluntly: ya'll are stupid if you think this is even remotely a problem. Who cares what people decide to do with their freetime and money if its not hurting anyone or themselves? Yeah there's stupid poo poo involved in streaming for sure but any kind of entertainment involving personalities producing content runs into that issue. You sound like a bunch of bitter old fucks crying about how kids these days don't have fun the way you do. I'd agree its worrying how much more reliant people have become on social media communication but that's not the fault on them, its on the nature of society for becoming increasingly fast-paced and making "normal" relationships extremely inconvenient and difficult to maintain.

I'd like to see what you're basing this claim on. I hate talking on the phone but I hated that before social media existed. I dunno why but something about it fills me with anxiety and stress. I much prefer talking in person or with text on computers.

Perhaps streaming is this adult generation's Thing That is Corrupting the Youth and Ruining Society. It's kinda like the Lich King, there's always gotta be one.

Too many games I want to play at precisely this moment, spending too much time jumping between them today more The Messenger (just got to turquoise river) pick up Mario Odyssey again (stopped shortly after seeing the credits and some of Mushroom Kingdom) Hyrule Warriors (beat the story, never really did the adventure boards) DQ11 (the start, basically) AC Odyssey (I forget, but no more than 20% of the way thru the story)

Relax Or DIE posted:it may be a kids these days thing, but I feel pretty confident that the content I consumed as a child was far less likely to point me towards white nationalist propaganda You're right to a certain degree. We consumed content that was sanitized for a general audience for the most part and thus supported views society was comfortable with at the time we grew up. Now with the internet you can find fringe content much more easily, which makes finding groups that reaffirm lovely views very easy. Which is why we need to keep pressuring major media platforms to not allow their bullshit if their gonna claim to be in favor of equality and all that stuff. It sounds bad but you also have to remember that the internet has also allowed people to connect with other minorities far more easily and open up avenues of exploration to people that never would of had them before. The internet has a lot of places extremely supportive of LGBTQ+ people in particular and has been great for people to discover and come to terms with their true identity. The internet also makes it easier than ever to be aware of problems we face as a people and what we can do in our own communities and on a larger scale to combat them. I said come in! posted:I steer clear of YouTube and Twitter now that they both openly support and defend white nationalism. They don't support or defend it but they do quietly pretend it doesn't exist and try to downplay all the issues that occur with it because it makes them more money that way. Which is just as lovely but an important distinction I feel. FWIW I don't think Twitch is as bad as other sites when it comes to this stuff but I can't speak with total confidence because I haven't investigated it much. Its definitely not talked about as much. Twitch also tries to appear very pro-equality but its easy for corporations to put on a face of that while not actually doing anything.

Curious how people are saying twitch streaming and the like is a nightmare because, wow, it seems to openly support white nationalism and is cool and fine with the murder of minorities and hatred of women and other wonderful things, which, to me, is kind of nightmarish!!! Especially when young kids are exposed en masse to popular fuckheads like pewdiepie who just looooooooove them some hardcore Hitler heiling and 'gamer words'

cheetah7071 posted:So yeah, my perfect game is colorful, cheerful, slow/turn-based, and allows a lot of player freedom. Any large-ish series that I haven't already posted about obsessively that might fit that reasonably well?  Valkyria Chronicles 4 came out last year. It uh....definitely has some not-cheery moments because it's Anime World War 2, but it fits the other bills.

You're being dumb and generalizing like hell. The vast majority of streamers don't do anything like that. Does that make the few that do it okay? No. Though again, I dunno how much of this is actually on Twitch cause from the sound of things the big streamers all have suffered huge backlash from even alluding to this crap. Its definitely a problem on Youtube where PD is the biggest channel and essentially an alt-right recruiter, but he's not a streamer so its not really part of the conversation now is it?

Really Pants posted:Ever play DQXI? It's on my list. I don't expect it to be a perfect fit but I'll probably enjoy it. I liked DQ5 (though I recognized it was strongly carried by its narrative and DQ would need to either match that or improve the gameplay a lot to grab me again, which it sounds like 11 did both of)

Trails fails the player freedom criteria imo, you don't get to choose your party members until the second game of each arc and the quartz customization isn't that deep. It's definitely a good rabbit hole series though that fits the other criteria, it was my big one for this past year.

Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Odd Family, Teen Titans, and Kim Possible are definitely a large part of why I empathize with people of color in spite of growing up in rural Kansas. Nowadays, from what I've seen it's back to vaguely having aliens or purple characters be stand-ins that kids won't understand.

DQ5 is the only one in the series I’ve played, it was pretty delightful if simplistic there’s a scene where the protagonist’s dad, who so far was shown to be a strong and popular and honourable and noble etc dude, slaps an infant prince who doesn’t want to be king and screams, “Have you even thought about what your father wants??” And presumably you’re meant to nod along
