Since I hadn't heard of this person before, she's a reviewer for Gamespot that gave Cyberpunk 2077 a 7/10 which was one of the lower scores given to it by an actual publication but which turned out to be higher than the Metacritic user score average (currently 6.5/10). Since she's a woman who gave a super-hyped game a "low" score of course she was the target of a lot of harassment because this is hellworld.

EDIT: Since this is the Youtube thread, how about a review of the game from an "objective" performance perspective that highlights why many users might be slightly disappointed by it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5pHpQqhmR4

Spoilers: it runs at 720p 30 FPS on the base PS4 with dips down to 15 FPS(!) in open world combat.

The guy who started this witch hunt still thinks he was 100% justified in leading a stalking and harassment campaign against a random woman cosplayer that led to him getting banned for life from all official Magic the Gathering events and media access channels nearly a decade after the fact now. They will never admit they were wrong even as Cyberpunk 2077 literally reveals new ways that it's utter garbage by the loving hour.

These people still think Donald Trump won the election last month, bigly, for gently caress's sake.

nah, they are poo poo heads. i read and watced her review. i disagree with when it comes to her thoughts on tone and world building but thats just my personal feelings. she is right about the crafting and the UI. its good game, just needs a bunch of patches and poo poo. playing it on ps5 and it looks fine but i may just sit and wait for the upgrade and more patches. i do like the story and characters and the rawness of the game. hell it even made me uncomfortable in a way i wasn't expecting. i like that. but yeah gently caress the chuds, gently caress the weird stalker rear end in a top hat and all his dumbass friends.

The P'zone, sadly, was kind of cursed right out of the gate by having an utterly abysmal UI and forum software chosen for it. The second LP-focused off-site to come about because of Lowtax-related dipshittery, The LP Beach avoided that pitfall and went for a near-but-not-quite SA forums browsing experience and has fared slightly better in longevity than LP Zone has. With the notable caveats that it hasn't been around for not even 6 months yet, so it's still in its infancy, and what I really mean by "better longevity" is that it's been slightly easier for the non-big shots to find a consistent audience on Beach, whereas at the Zone, if you're not someone like Chip or VoidBurger, then your work is dead in the water.

Jeremy doesn't have time to actually play games, he needs to dedicate every second of his life to screaming about Brie Larson. I wonder if his wife ever gets the feeling that she's the third wheel in a relationship between Jeremy and the phantasm that lives inside his brain that he thinks is Brie Larson?

Thus far the only evidence of her that exists is a tweet Jeremy made a while back where he got mad that she went out to a dine-in pizza restaurant to get dinner by herself and left his hairy, sweaty rear end at home alone. Make your judgement calls however you like...

I just bookmarked the subscriptions page of youtube and use that to go to the site, so the first thing I see is my subbed channels videos in chronological order.

I kept finding it really weird that everyone was saying "hit the bell to be notified of a new video, because YouTube doesn't always tell my subscribers" because I rarely even look at the actual front page of youtube anymore.

Same. The recommendations I get don't tend to be that bad, usually, but it's way more convenient to just see a list of the channels I want to see and nothing else.
