Yeah it didn't have anything to do with anything the Chapos could consider to be their adversaries, even if one can picture a fair share of reading series targets doing this with those segments. And as he tries to argue his new self, he knows that all of these will be uploaded to the youtube page and that he'll have to argue against his old self in some sense. And not like, the old self of years ago, the old self of nearly two weeks ago. Drunk Matt telling people to kill themselves or Vibrating Matt on TrueAnon screaming about the lack of souls on people who don't like books or whatever Isn't this Matt, whatever we're seeing. I'm still gonna wait and see what he streams for longer before I can call him a crank or whatever, hell a week before he was being super smug about his neighbors clapping, now in a way he kinda joins it.

Boywhiz88 posted:What did they do to Necrons? Originally they were just all Terminators. just killing robots. But they changed it so that most of the high level ones kept a bit of their personality. So all the troops are still Terminators, but the bosses are mad kings. Which was imo, a necessary change. Half the point of Warhammer is coming up with your own dudes. If the whole race is just Terminators, you can't do that. If you paint them a different color, great, now you have blue Terminators. But now you can come up with your own Necron Lord with his own personality and history. And in the books and stuff Necrons can have goals other than just killing

since we're on the topic of Video Games can I just say how much i cannot stand Final Fantasy fanboys who wont stop bitching about the 7 Remake? (The comments don't necessarily Spoil anything you haven't seen in the trailers but i'll tag it just good measure) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7apIOuNa7uA&lc=UgysibBd1Hw49-tLgU14AaABAg Asher Jones 19 hours ago The reason the ending is hard to interpret is that it's not the ending at all.  SmoothLegend 10 hours ago (edited) As someone who expects a complete story in what is advertised as a complete game, especially a game specifically known for and fond of its story, I was disappointed as a newcomer, it was a bad first impression of the brand’s storytelling. I didn’t expect it to go Force Awakens and rely entirely on sequels, I sure hope they got a plan unlike Star Wars did, but them always being unsure of the scope of future projects is worrying. I also didn’t expect it expecting me to be well versed in the compilation, since it was also advertised as a great entry point for newcomers. Advent Children was more honest with itself and yet as a newcomer it tells a more well rounded story people can understand and feel the impact of. SmoothLegend 43 minutes ago (edited) @Hunter Adkins Yes I realize all that, and while Star Wars was an exaggeration, the fact that FF7's creators dropped the ball so hard with Chapter 18's execution and that they're always unsure about the scope and number of sequels (despite having a narrative plan) doesn't leave much faith/confidence. This one worked because they knew exactly where it was going to end no matter what, and even then they couldn't hit a home run. You need your productions/projects mapped out without question, not just your narrative roadmap. Star Wars actually had the opposite problem, they had set productions but no narrative. You need both. y'know, im kindly like nick from cum town at this point in that internet Nerds have nothing else to live for accept whining about games theyve already spent money on and will continue to spend money on just to justify said whining

Haven't played it, but I've watched some of FF7R on YouTube and have been listening to the soundtrack basically on repeat for weeks. Mother of loving god did they knock that poo poo out of this world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcOYUACgo34 (looks like HobbesB's banned because of course, so had to find a mega-upload instead of the split tracks.

The only thing that's holding him back is the technical aspect of streaming but i think they can figure it out.

Chapo should self-crit about going all in on Bernie in the way that they did. I don't think they demonized the left, but they sure helped demoralize it in the long run. Maybe it would have felt different if he had won, but with the disappointing way he lost it becomes hard not to see the campaging, criticism-free coverage and hype as somehow betraying the original concept of the show. Not sure what New Matt heralds for the show. Even though it is now clear that Old Matt was right, and Primary Matt was probably a mistake it would be difficult, inauthentic and slightly tired for them to just go back to their old ways. TrueAnon occupies that field now, and I believe Brace a lot more. Libs and "anti-fascist" are sort of holding their feet to the fire, making a black-pill turn somewhat more difficult, but honestly, by embracing the campaign the Chapos lost their outsider status so an attempt would feel pretty forced anyway. They could look inward and do reading series shows about the beef the NYT has with them, but that would be really indulgent, and too similar to the feuding between Republican and Democrat media institutions, which they've made fun of in the past. I would be worried about upsetting the apple cart too, but Chapo needs to rebrand somehow. Matt can be engaging in pretty much any context, Felix is clearly done with politics, Amber can gently caress off if all she has to bring is "let's focus on local politics", that's more of a chapo guest than host, and who knows what is up with Virgil. The main issue is Will; by showing his entire rear end with the Bernie thing he no longer has any sort of ironic distance or legitimacy. It would be really embarrassing to see him trying to outdo Brace. The "stupid podcast about the noid" defense will no longer work for him and he's himself a proper target for the "moneyed media elite wonk" criticism he used to hand out.

I mean what the gently caress other options did people have, Bernie was the only shot people had for the next decade plus, it's better to have done all you could with this one precious shot than just stand back and cynically sneer the way you're suggesting. also lol the reason why people listened to chapo wasnt just the ironic distance it was also for sincerity, it would be a pretty boring podcast if all they offered was cynicism.

The show was most compelling for me when it was just unrestrained anger at the controlled opposition of the Democrats - episodes like the Deficit Rag. The show never seemed to be about ironic distance to me. Usually the show was at its worst when focusing on abhorrent NY media types that basically no one outside of a small slice of NYC knows or cares about, whether it's Brett Stepehens or Megan McAardle or whomever. Like yeah they're disgusting people but their audience was never on your side so it comes across as low-hanging fruit and was pretty boring to listen to. I wouldn't mind if Matt just did Inebriated Past-type episodes once a month, the rest of the group I tend not to find as insightful unless it's some weird-but-true Felix take.

I don't disagree, it was the move that made sense politically / morally, but it still hosed the show. Taking pot shots from the sideline was a huge part of the show, and they did compromise their anti-establishement stance by going all in like that. They used to be very clear that their intent was never to be part of the discourse, but now they are. That has affected the show. I think they could/should make an attempt at deescalating, and remind people of when the show used to be fun, and not a lifeline or ideological touchstone. I wish they would do, like, three Call of Cthulhu episodes in a row, dealing with anything but the Bernie thing. Even a Corona take could be alright, although some obscure Twitter thing might be better. Follow that with an interview with somebody engaging and irreverent, like, bring Zizek back on. That's about the only thing that would bring me back unless they really revamp the format, even then they would have to find a new source of momentum than the Bernie campaign.

At least my observations come from like, hearing what the Chapo people had to say about it. I thought about the culture-centric Chapo because Felix brought it up in the first place. And no, if anything, Amber's focus on local politics and labor unions and so on will be probably more important with Bernie out of the picture, as both something that will have more direct and observable results + something to build more community connections as time goes on. Specially on a time where essential workers role in keeping modern society going is only more and more self-evident.

What are you talking about, they have always been that. Their first really big episode was the post-2016 election one, where the whole thing was they were expressing the anger that a lot of people felt. The idea that Chapo at one point was some disconnected ironic snarky thing is absurd. The whole appeal of the show is that their attacks on the establishment come from a sincere, honest, and blatantly ideological place. It makes no sense to say that now they should give that up and become Weekend Update with swears, or whatever the gently caress you're talking about
