Fortunately Jack Black has started his own gaming channel so we can forget about all this other stuff.

I'm not "jealous" of their success but I will admit I do sometimes wish I was a somewhat successful streamer just because I like talking to people about games. It'd be really cool if I could just casually stream stuff and have a little group of people to talk to about it. Some games are just more fun when you have an audience to share em with, like Bloodbowl.

Okay so I'm going crazy here, I heard this part of the chorus or melody or whatever in a sheetz and I can't figure out what it is so I remade it using some website chip tune maker thing, but pretend that that first 5 seconds just looped instead and also it was one of those 80s synth sounds instead of a chip tune.

I've tried those song identifying things but they haven't worked and I've asked others for help but I keep getting songs that don't sound anything even remotely like the thing in the link above and I'm going nuts here and I'm basically stuck in that episode of cromartie high school where it's just them humming trying to figure out what song a tune is from

and especially the 'comedy' gamers on youtube like crowbcat and dunkey, people keep posting their videos even here when those people have dropped slurs in the past (and one of those two even did a 'we wuz kangz' joke during the assassins creed origins reveal which is basically racism ground zero)

crowbcat is a group and they've had 4channer dogwhistling since the beginning eg the focus on that lovely "feminism is awesome" humor line in the Battleborn one and the editing in the videos to make developers seem incompetent/dishonest to stoke outrage. People just didn't notice until it got really obvious and it hit a game they liked.

That really hasn’t been what I have observed. Male streamers never get any criticism (unless they are being openly racist). It’s only the women streamers, which unsurprisingly there is a massive amount of sexism on Twitch. A popular YouTube channel called TwitchFails, focuses exclusively on shaming women on Twitch. Considering YouTube is a direct competitor of Twitch, it’s in their best interest to allow this channel to exist and remain super popular despite it being entirely against their terms of service.

I dunno the Battleborn one seemed pretty on point, considering how much of a tire fire that game was.

DarkSydePhil was LPer Patient Zero because he lost a partnership years ago because he couldn't stop himself from making Holocaust "jokes".

Expert if you like customization, normal if you don't and want to pretend the game has a boring level up system

Expert allows you to muck around with what roles characters have which, if you dont know what your doing could have some significant issues as the game was not retuned to account for this. An upside and downside is the expert grid has less blank nodes; the upside is it means more level ups do things for your characters but the down side is it means your power caps out lower if you plan to do the post game if youre sick in the head.

A good, if stupid sounding, medium is to pick expert grid and then just assign everybody to their normal roles.

The starting stats in FFX kind of drive characters towards their default roles anyways. Like Lulu will just suck if you send her down a physical path. But there's a bunch of weird cross-synergy you can potentially get and the expert grid makes it much easier to duck and weave between paths if there's some lackluster nodes in one section.

A better FF10 would have had every character have one of two or three possible classes they could become depending on what road you take, like starting in favor of one obvious path, a bit more work to reach a more balanced path, and then opposite haul for a class the dead opposite of what you're predisposed towards

So it could be Yuna the White Mage, Yuna the Paladin, or Yuna the Stick rear end-Beater kind of deal

Makes me wish on a related note for Secret of Mana to have 2's cool multiclass system

Yeah its important to note in FF10 a +1 to a stat during the main game is actually a pretty signficant bump, so characters starting stats have a bigger influence than it might appear ar first glance. It seems free-form to give everybody whatever role you want but you are very likely going to make a game that did a good job tying character progression to difficulty break that correlation and not in your favor.
