Yeah, I tried to play Doom with a controller, after beating the game on Ultraviolence with a mouse and keyboard, during Extra Life. I looked a lot like that video does. That game is amazing, but not with a controller.

I made the mistake of trying to play Portal with an XBox controller, that is not the right tool for the job.

Kim Justice posted:Is Ben Kuchera even a thing still? I haven't heard that name in years. And that's not a meme, I actually haven't. Not really, as far as I know. This was the first I heard anything about him in a while. From what I recall, what happened with the Kain vs Kuchera debacle was that back when Kain wrote for Wired, he posted an article on a previously unreleased SNES game coming to the Wii Virtual Shop, and brought up how the game had been available through emulation sites. People pointed out to him that this constituted as piracy, and he wrote a retraction on the article. Kuchera, who was still working for Penny Arcade Report at the time, proceeded to blast Kain for promoting piracy, despite the fact that Kain acknowledged the mistake. Say what you will of Kain now (I don't know where he stands on what), but at the time, it was completely unwarranted. The real kicker is that a year or so later later, Kuchera ended up writing an article on a Star Wars fan edit of A New Hope, with the headline, 'You can watch an 'unaltered' version of Star Wars in HD today, if you bend the law', which might have well been titled, "I'm a massive, hypocritical poo poo, but here's why that okay." EDIT: Oh god, I was searching to find that Wired article and ran across this:

In any event, it certainly didn't look like I was slamming my face against the controller like the Polygon video. Sure, M+KB is great and all, but I'm used to controllers and since I have no plans of playing competitive FPS games on PC I'll stick to what I'm comfortable with.

I dunno where to put this, but this seemed like a relevant spot, and I kinda wanted to get the word out after some of this exploded across twitter. ζ That greek letter is being used by 'zoophiles'/animal rapists as a symbol for their cause, and they put it in their twitter profiles. They're also trying to link their 'cause' with lgbt stuff, so be careful.

Annointed posted:Could you post examples of these zoophiles trying to link themselves to lgbt? I'd be skeptical of those examples, a recurring trend on 4chan and the like is trying to delegitimize the LGBT movement by false-flagging support for pedophile acceptance. Wouldn't surprise me if they've recycled that idea for zoophiles now. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lgbtp-adding-letter/

Max Wilco posted:I think Arthur Gies was the one behind the 'bad at Doom' gameplay video. Arthur Gies was also the guy who said that anyone who didn't work at Maxis and said that SimCity 2013 could be played offline doesn't know what they're talking about. Less than a week later, the community released a mod to allow the game to allow the game to run offline. Dude's an incredible toolbag.

Another thing 4chan likes to do is to pick a random innocuous image and spread the rumor that it’s actually a coded message referring to something objectionable. Remember Pepe the Frog, and the okay hand sign? I’m not saying that’s definitely happening in this case, but be careful. The trolls want to turn everyone into Dan Brown characters, constantly on the lookout for hidden signs and evil conspiracies.

Not saying every Pepe avatar wants to kill all ethnic minorities but it very much is used as a way for fascists to signal themselves to each other. And the "it was just trolling, it's not really a thing" bit is a really useful way to give themselves some cover in that regard.

Yeah, fascists are absolutely using pepe and the ok sign unironically now. Makes seeing twitch chat on anything a pain because there's a million pepe-styled emoticons on there and I'm sure a lot of folks use them without knowing all of that stuff, but it still sucks to see it warped like that. I like to have chat on for some slower channels that don't move a mile a minute and it's obnoxious seeing them pop up all the time especially with Matt Furie's attempts to curtail it's appropriation.

Pepe was a more organic thing since he was already a meme on 4chan. The okay sign, clowns, and other dumb poo poo was deliberate attempts to get people thinking they were signs of hate speech. And then they act like they’re puppet masters when people report “Hey, white supremacists are really into clowns as of late.” Unsurprisingly, this invariably leads to those things just being absorbed into alt-right culture anyways.

the clown world thing is a weird projection adjacent kind of thing because we do live in a clown world but they're talking about the jews and not reactionary morons voting the dumbest guy alive into the most powerful position on earth while his party denies the oncoming global catastrophe. we're all living in the twilight zone episode "it's a good life" except the little boy is a fox news grandpa. you can't get any clownier.

Right, but I still think it’s worthwhile to be skeptical whenever something like this turns up. The people behind these sorts of things, whether they’re trolls or unironic fascists, work by inspiring confusion and fear in people. They want to see all those hysterical news articles blasting whatever meme they’ve latched onto because that’s how they know they’ve gotten under people’s skin. The only way to win their stupid game is to ignore it, or laugh at their nonsense.

The new Eva translation is more accurate to the script. Contextually, it fucks that scene up because yeah the whole point was Shinji experiencing someone expressing love for him for the first time. Localizer needed to read between the lines a bit more. Also it's weird watching people get mad about this when the original dub/sub was utterly loving despised when it came out.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:Pannen is great, I wish he did more commentated videos, but he kinda got harassed to hell and back because 'lol parallel universes' and now just does stuff on his alt channel. It probably doesn't help that his video was mostly technical but it was really annoying to see a lot of people basically act like Mario 64 was this weird black box of wonders involving a fat plumber and he basically broke the illusion and was too stubborn to even press a button and poo poo all over what could have been a really neat voiced commentary. It's like if everyone went to 3Blue1Brown's page and basically wrote "Wow numbers are confusing and scary, but why aren't you telling me how to balance a check book instead of telling me about fake math" over and over again.

get that OUT of my face posted:It's not just going to be a problem with gaming, it's going to be a problem with everything. I feel like the center of economic growth in America has moved from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, which is just as well because most of the "best and brightest" made that migration ten years ago. Which has a good chance of being even worse than Wall Street because Silicon Valley tends to be in an even smaller bubble of what they think people have access to or want.
