Runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
I decided to watch hbomb's video on Pathologic today. At some point between him telling me to buy Pathologic 2 and the end of the video, Pathologic 2 showed up in my steam library for some mysterious reason.

Also it's like 56% off on Steam right now so go buy it if you haven't already.

I have not seen the unofficial VR Among Us until now and it's really some jank magic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXdFNzjVqLk&hd=1

It's fascinating watching a group who has been playing among us together for months, maybe longer, and how their interactions with each other change. Like how WeegeeTheGod is an incredibly convincing imposter so everyone is always suspicious of him, even when he is fully and totally innocent, and use that to their advantage when they're the imposter. and thanks to VR, his hysterics over it are even better since he can enunciate his gripes with the addition of flailing hand gestures:

the only thing I wish it had was a shakiness reduction option for recording, but I'm not sure how possible that even is.

Honestly this is why I was extremely not surprised when I saw that it was Twin Perfect that had a 4 hour explainer video. Those dipshits are famous for stupid interpretations of Silent Hill followed by absolutely demanding that their interpretation is the only correct one.
Reminds me of a video I saw where they guessed that Pokémon Sun/Moon were going to lead into a reboot for the following generation. I stopped once it (poorly) started referencing the Torah. They had a ridiculously defensive video some time later when they game launched and it obviously wasn’t true. People get real attached to their pet theories, is what I’m saying.

If it's the same Weegee I'm thinking of, him being suspicious af but mostly getting away with it is hilariously on the nose considering a history of stealing content.

Sfdebris brings us the weirdly-titled Bare Midriff Contagion Christmas Special.

I’ll admit that despite my usual love of Sfdebris’ content I held off on watching this for a few days, since I really hate it when covid-related stuff seeps into my TV and youtube viewing, but I shouldn’t have doubted him like that. Instead of the usual doomer bullshit that might come with a video on this sort of topic, he actually devotes a lot of time to just talking about reasons to be positive and hopeful. It may not have been his usual Christmas fare, or anyone’s usual Christmas fare for that matter, but I’d say the spin he put on it certainly feels in line with the spirit of the season.

He was a chud or at least ironically supported Trump. Hard to say because I remember him from Alpha’s videos and he was definitely an irony-poisoned type. I think Alpha distanced himself from the guy a few years back.

well, a minute and a half in and yeah, that's really stupid of him to do, what the gently caress was he thinking. was it the one video or has he done it a ton? If he's repented on it, or compensated for it, and never done it again, that's one thing. If he's unapologetic about it, then yeah, gently caress him.

they still play together regularly especially in among us, but then again jacksepticeye who does a lot of good charity work also still occasionally associates with pewdiepie iirc so maybe it's that sort of situation. I'm not sure of his politics but he is absolutely, 100% one of the most apathetic, irony-poisoned entities on the internet for sure from how he acts in among us. Definitely a bummer to find this out though.

I'll just watch the alpharad/altrive/etc videos instead of any weegee might make though. the content at least is amazingly entertaining and helped me get through the horrible christmas season at work.

on a lighter note, Alpharad and Jaiden Animations played through randomized pokemon for charity, with the rule that at certain milestones they had to airlock a pokemon at random. It's great fun. Jaiden just running into a level 5 Rayquaza in a cave that's supposed to have Zubats or something is a good time

unfortunately I don't have a link to jaiden's perspective, I only have Alpha's because of the notification link to the hidden video.

Yeah I always liked his style and sense of humor but it felt weirdly constrainted by polygon at times? Like not that they sat him down and told him what he had to do but more that he probably has a lot of rad ideas that aren't strictly videogame related or whatever they expect their creators to do that I am all on board to see.

Lol apparently Allison blocked me on twitter despite me never tweeting at her that I can remember. I can't help but wonder why. Is it my angry shitposting at politicians? One of those auto-block thing that blocks everyone who follows x problematic person? Gonna bug me for a while.

Anyway, her videos are still cool and I'm gonna keep watching them. :shrug:

Back when her and Brad had a falling out and lots of Brad's fans were harassing her, she ran a blockchain on his twitter. So if you were following the Cinema Snob twitter at the time, thats what probably did it.

I believe the best he ever did was admit to taking "heavy inspiration" from the video he plagiarised. He never apologised or even fully admitted fault.

yea I don't think anyone ever sat down with him and actively vetoed poo poo and all but it is fairly clear as weird as they can get at times, Polygon is still game/pop culture focused and expects their output to match that. I can see why he'd want to stretch his legs a bit after all these.
