serious question: do ya'll think professional streamers are less equipped to handle social issues just by way of their job/the types of people who do it for a living or is there no connection to be made between abuse and games

https://www.thedailybeast.com/fortnite-star-allegedly-hit-pregnant-girlfriend-during-stream-why-hasnt-twitch-banned-him

I don't think they're less equipped to handle social issues, I just think that most people in general seem to be ill equipped to handle them and so this sort of random lottery that draws people and suddenly makes them a major name in streaming, well, it's just a lot of poor luck that keeps resulting in drawing of people with bad opinions or bad actions rather than people who would be capable of talking about social issues in a healthy way or, at the very least, wouldn't be contributing to the conversation in a negative way by being a trash human being.

At some point their trash behaviour is so consistent that there has to be some throughline

My best guess is that when their core audience consists of children who haven't learned empathy yet then their behaviour is probably going to follow suit

I liked it! Had good DLC, and as a early backer I was given a cut of the profits after launch for up to 2 years. That is how all crowdfunded games should be.

Do any indie games rip off Mario? I feel like there's a lot more games that go much more for Mega Man or Castlevania or Ghost and Ghouls.

Forced myself to finish the last Dishonored DLC. The last level was a real drag, and to be honest I think the void vision (think Batman Arkham's deyective mode) really spoils a lot of the gameplay. There's no practical reason not to be using it all the time and the game would be way better without it.

Overall I still think it's a great game, but falls just short of being up there with Thief 2 in the level design stakes.

Onto Yakuza 0 now! Played the first hour or two back on release but got stopped to wait for bug fixes and never got round to continuing. Hopefully it's all fixed up now :ohdear:

They shipped their two Prime Funhavers, Dan and Vinnie, to GBEast, and the rainbows flourished there

I don't hate any of them but Ben keeps playing the Ironically Disinterested card which gets old fast, Jeff is Jeff and will always have very set opinions on videogames, Jan Rorie and Jason are all very excited about one niche genre in particular it seems

I mean I still love GB and their site is the only one I've ever kept an active subscription going for

Also I know they love Dave Lang but the man does not make good games I'm sorry
