She sold her pee which would be a legendary tier grift from literally anyone who didn't sell other people's nudes without consent

Apparently that was a fake thing and some folks made a shop under her name to sell the Gamer Pee. Because that's just what happens these days! *

*Which is kind of another thing Belle does, like she sells bathwater and says "Well I'm doing it because that's just what the Internet and society is like now! Cuh, I dunno eh?". Not only does she sell her bathwater, but she tries to sell her bathwater ironically. Which is surely some sort of crime somewhere. That and yeah, this selling of nudes

Ooh, I remember Oni coming out and playing it a fair bit, so I'll give this a watch. Didn't the levels end up mediocre and empty because they designed them like actual buildings instead of areas that were fun to do stuff in?

Yeah, that was a major selling point at the time. Levels designed by real architects. Which, while a neat point at the time, meant that they werent designed to be super fun or memorable.

I completed the game like six times as a kid and barely remember any level.

I remember more that the game was constantly delayed and still felt half finished when it was done.

Also the cut mp due to technical issues. The engine supposedly did per pixel combat physics which wasn't friendly to dial up.

We've been pretty incredulous about her acts though so I dunno where you're coming from here. Dunno why you're defending lame generalisations when we can just, like, look at the things she does. Like, this is a woman who sells bathwater, actively caters to really creepy folk including likely paedos, makes videos where she screws around with a literal dead octopus, has all sorts of drama and other nasty poo poo in the recent past (not sure where the TERF accusations come from, but it's not like I don't believe them), why do we need to go "oh well ALL white South Africans are racist" when it's kinda rubbish and it's in the context of bloody Belle Delphine?

all white south africans have materially benefited from settler colonialism and apartheid even if they make the conscious effort to reject and fight back against it - which is a good thing, but only further damns the environment they're rejecting. next you'll be saying not ALL cops are bastards.

I don't see how the example you put at the end is comparable, nor do I see how what you say = "all white South Africans are racist" which is just lame generalising.

Frankly I still don't know how this freaking conversation managed to come up when we're discussing some idiot who sells her pissy bathwater that none of you would even know was born in/from SA unless you'd looked it up on Famous Birthdays. It's a big bloody leap to say the least.

EDIT: I mean, it's not like there isn't a big problem with racism in South Africa. I'm not denying that nor do I think anyone else is. There's some loving horrible attitudes over there, not to mention ones from people who've emigrated...again, my GF can relay many times how she once met a fellow South African who immediately started ranting about the "kaffirs". Clearly that's emblematic of an attitude that if a white South African meets another white South African, there's a likelihood that suddenly they automatically feel comfortable enough to be racist around them because they assume a shared worldview. And increasing knowledge of that, discussing on such levels, is better than just spouting generalisations.

EDIT 2: It's also better in another thread. Perhaps we can go back to talking about her? Or something else? Anyone been selling their own literal stinky poo poo lately?

I shouldn’t have personalized it in a way that could be harmful to individual people. I apologize.

I also kind of feel like it’s relatively uncontroversial to laugh reflexively at the horror of settler colonial cultures which have done terrible things and not really changed in ways that stop terrible things from happening. This might not be the place for that kind of discourse, though.

To their credit, South Africa does not currently operate concentration camps as far as I know, unlike my settler country or some others I could think of.

I should note I wasn't bringing it up as related to anything else, I just felt like the fact that she's descended from a historically really awful settler group (and thus pretty likely to have some nasty chud tendencies, if not eventually go full-on in that direction) was just an extra poo poo-cherry on top of the garbage cake

Apparently I really should not have said that judging by the parade of people coming in all like "NOT ALL SOUTH AFRICANS" as if I was saying it's literally physically impossible for one to be a decent human (I mean, loving clearly not, Neill Blomkamp owns)

You may not have said it was physically impossible, but you did say she was “basically guaranteed” to either be an alt-righter or turn into one because of her birthplace.

It’s possible that someone might have picked up some bad views as part of their cultural upbringing. I fact, I’d say that applies to most people. No culture is perfect, and no person is entirely free of cultural influence. But you still shouldn’t act like every individual is defined by the worst thing their culture has done. Otherwise it’s not so different from the likes of Sargon condemning all Muslims because of the human rights problems in some Muslim countries.

I'm not sure if Red Bard has been mentioned in this thread before, but if not then consider this a recommendation for her entire channel. She talks about anime-related stuff, while asking the important questions like “Can you live entirely off of Evangelion Merchandise?

GmanLives looks at Oni, the game Bungie made right before they became a Halo factory. Oni's one of the games I really wish got a proper sequel. It played really well, even if the level design was kinda mediocre.

I like gmanlives videos because he covers some old and weird fpses at times but i made the terrible mistake of ignoring my "never join youtube discords" and entered his. Good god i hate the people in there. Some dude even went like u know theres studies about jews being murderers. I ask for proof and he links me an article by a site comparabls to the daily stormerv and in the "sources" part they link themselves, and this loving dumbass thinking its some deep rear end sociological investigative reporting. It took like 10 minutes of calling him a poo poo for brains before he relented. Not to mention constantly doing the hilarious thing of replacing one letter in slurs. These kids need to be grounded eternally.

yeah, i have never joined any of these things before but i assumed gman was not known enough (at least back then) so as to not be overrun by the worst sub reddit-tier epic kek bitches that are infesting the internet and also thought you can't have 13 year olds in the server of a guy who reviews FPS games so old they are on pensions, but boy was i wrong as soon as i saw someone busting nuts about his "Loud Family Gore Fic with Sex In It" and the mods going on about cucks and faggots and (((them))) and whatnot.

I think he's pretty good, he's got a nice mix of information/gameplay tips and jokes with kind of a dry humor. His older videos have more vignettes based off of his gimmick (a disembodied head being tortured by robots to play video games in space) but it's pretty light/nonexistent in his newer stuff

ICARUSLIV3S is another good one, he mostly does weird and popular doom mods

I thought saw another gggmanlives link posted a few pages back, and having watched a share of his content in the past, I was wondering how long it would be before someone pointed out how gggmanlives tends to drop takes of those types on occasion in his videos.

Also, I think he downgraded, because he username was 'gggmanlives'. Now it's 'gmanlives'. He lost two of the Gs.
