If you miss the Dark Souls lps, check out episode 45 of The Wonderful 101. In which Woolie forgets how to jump to a platform. You just walk up to a geyser and it lifts you to it, but if you use the ball ability, you are shot up into a secret. So after backtracking, he exclusively uses the ball and manages to miss the platform every time for ten minutes.

Emotional appeals? I'll give you a loving emotional appeal, you miserable poo poo.

I knew a woman who died. Bone cancer, lung cancer, a different bone cancer somehow, obesity, and also some sort of muscular distrophy I don't know the details of, all at the age of seventy. She died real slow--she spent the last year in her apartment, being cared for by her husband, unable to leave. She had good days and bad days, and on the good days she would fade in and out. She couldn't hold a book up to read it, which was hell for a writer. She couldn't watch television because she missed too much of the plot. She couldn't go places. The long, shouting arguments spirited debates she liked to engage in were entirely too exhausting. She couldn't enjoy the foods that made her so goddamn fat. She certainly couldn't write any more.

But she could still play video games. Skyrim moved at exactly her pace. When she was active, she could play the games she'd loved since before most of us goons were born. And when she faded, or drifted off, or when holding the controller limply in her lap was too much, that was fine. Accessibility settings had left her character invincible. Dialog didn't auto-proceed, so if she got tired part way through a conversation, it would patiently wait for her to come back. Combat, travel, inventory management, all of it would advance only when she was there. She spent the end of her life fighting the Draughr.



She was lucky--Skyrim was a game that would accommodate her. If she had been playing one of Hidetaka Miyazaki's games, he wouldn't have allowed her to ruin his artistic vision, and a dying old woman would have been stripped of one of the few pleasures she still had. So Hidetake Miyazaki can go gently caress himself.

And if you want to say she wasn't playing the game right, you can go gently caress yourself too.

Some of the crazy bullshit the game either forces you to do or allows you to do is amazing. Big recommend to anyone who's not on Paige's level.

Watched Woolie play Baba is You on the twitch vod before noticing he had it up on YouTube and edited. Having watched several other streamers play the game he actually does exceptionally well in the initial area and on some puzzles that trip others up but when he hits a wall it's like the prime example of when he gets some incorrect assumption about a game in his head and can't let go of it and honestly I wonder if Paige would've done those puzzles faster, possibly on accident. Puzzles have several solutions, especially near the beginning, so that helps prevent someone getting completely stuck, unfortunately this helped reinforce some of Woolie's bad assumptions cause he could pass a level by going the super long way.

Tips for Baba is You: the only intrinsic rule is pushing words (doors aren't always shut, flag doesn't have to be win, baba doesn't have to be the one who wins, etc); the game doesn't contradict itself between levels, Woolie misunderstood a few things and seems to think this is the case; the game does a pretty good job of teaching you how things work if you pay attention, I suspect LP-tax often causes streamers to miss things.

Later on it gets much harder and I frequently put the game down for a few days and come back to it (sometimes drunk) and then solve the puzzle in a few minutes. It's also a big help to have someone else in the room to talk poo poo out with, it's been a decent couples game reportedly.

Somewhat, the notion of giving back the money for something that wasn't pre-paid made no sense though. GRRM should give back his money? What? You and everyone else got those books, to my knowledge there aren't Winds of Winter pre-orders at stake here or some poo poo. Like yeah, we can call him a lying jerk I guess, especially if you dig into it more and he kept saying he was close to finishing it going back to I think 2013~2015. Also the show was supposedly greenlit on the premise that of course he'd finish the books before the show caught up, it'd be "insane" to think he wouldn't. Another thing GRRM has said in the past, I think wrt the possibility of him dying before finishing the books, is that a possible ending for the story is that the comet crashes into the world and kills everyone, like if he dies that's the canon ending.


Also from the podcast, I don't think it's as necessary to write off Westworld season 3 as Woolie seems to think. Unlike GoT, season 2 wasn't their last season, they get to try and improve based on the criticism and potentially make a good season this time. It's probably unlikely, but I sorta feel like the disappointment he felt over GoT has made him super cynical, even though he was hardcore sandbagging WW season 2 at the time, it seems like any potential for a benefit of the doubt on this is now dead. Shows can have a bad season and be good again.

When Pat says something like the refunds, I don't take it as "Literally give me my money back." It's more of this weird sort of thing where he tries to fill in the map corners of an argument. Most people will agree that it was a jerk move for George to not even work on the books while doing these speaking tours where he talks about how to be a good writer just like George. To me, Pat says that kind of stuff to go "Yeah, we agree on that, but how strongly do we agree, huh? Come at me with some feelings and let's get some jokes going." I do the same thing sometimes, but badly. I'll just go, "Yo XCOM licks balls in this way" even though I love thosee games because I want to talk about how bad some of the systems in a game I love are, but in a way I haven't a thousand times.

It's kind of one of the things I like about Pat. Most people I listen to that I agree with are waffley (not necessarily a bad thing), always trying to come to a well-reasoned end point in an argument, making sure that they set up the right context for their views and everything, which usually results in them being way too over-stated and boring to listen to. Then I listen to Pat and he kind of just says something that'll get everyone to sit up in their seats.

how soon we forget pat is actually more broke brained than the average gacha player considering he spent upwards of 1200 dollars on overwatch lootboxes (probably worse than your average gacha) and has been repeatedly bamboozled by the concept of "free money"

like its legitimately funny people forget pat is the whalest whale to ever whale in his games of choice
