drat real talk, I'm very sorry didn't mean to come off that aggro.

I got to the LP part of the Tokimeki video, and drat I really want to play this game. Its a shame it was never translated. Its a huge sprawling game.

I'm really hoping that with the video making the rounds it'll convince some fan translator out there to take a stab at it. I remember the attempt at a translation patch way back in the day that sadly fizzled out, but rom hacking is so much easier today by comparison that hopefully it'd be less of an issue.

I get it. I did something so dumb that's its inexplicably angering. Were cool, I've been there.

Here's some content that I'm a bit uneasy about posting here but I thought that it was interesting.
BIG WARNING for excruciating pictures of burn victims in care.
A video on that supposed Hisashi Ouchi picture which is most definently not Ouchi. The narrator sounds a bit like Hank Hill but I think that there's a charm to it and I think that with a bit of improvement this could become a good "curious cases"/crime channel. I've only seen two videos of their's but they seem as respectful as you can be of the victims with this sort of stuff. Its also the only video on Ouchi I've seen where they didn't make a lovely "haha OUCH'Y!" joke.

Karl Jobst is a confirmed piece of poo poo, right? Or am I confusing him with somebody else? There's a video that keeps popping up in my recommended videos from him about somebody faking a Super Mario speedrun and I'm not sure whether to tell Youtube to gently caress off or not.

You're correct. It's a shame too since he made some of the best generalist speedrunning content. That video is good too (I'd watched it before I'd found out).

Long answer is that he was in the goldeneye speedrunning discord with rwhitegoose that was super loving nazi. Imgur link here, but it is pretty vile

Are there any Goldeneye speedrunners who aren't huge shitheads or is the entire community largely compromised?

The Goldeneye speedrunning community the Elite seems to be either reactionary shitheads or at least cool with it since they stay friends with the people who have been outed.

Apart from SummoningSalt I think the big channels that make (or made in ApolloLegend's case) generalist speedrunning videos are shitheads or friends with shitheads.

I think the Goldeneye speedrunning scene is infamously poo poo, but if you're not into speedrunning you'd only hear of The Bad Ones.

And mitchflowerpower, but that's because he was on The Tonight Show where he speedruned Super Mario Brothers 3 in the time it took Colbert to heat and eat a hotpocket.

What about Bismuth? They'd done some really good generalist videos in the past year about the SM64 and DK64 TAS's, as well as OoT and LttP speedrun strats.

I will say that this is a super tenuous connection. A goldeneye speedrunner was in a speedrunning discord with another guy who was a nazi isn't much.

It's kind of wild how I still cant get that sort of thing into my thick skull. Like, if X that you're not interested in isn't inherently hateful then it probably seems like poo poo to you because outsiders never hear anything about X unless some awful drama stuff is going down.

karl slammed back like three dozen homophobic jokes a year or two back on stream and when gay tetris legend kevinddr called him out on it karl clipped the footage from kevinddr quoting karl's bullshit out of context and got his fans to mass report the clip to try and get kevin banned from twitch for slurs lol

another of karls surviving greatest hits is a twitch chat emoji called jap thats a really zoomed out eggplant emoji

the dude doesnt even need the association receipts to suck he just sucks (but also the associations and his behavior surrounding them help)

It is really interesting seeing how even a fairly early dating simulator game had so much thought put into the personality quirks of a huge roster of dateable characters, with events and personality traits you might not even see unless a date goes bad, and effectively wild encounter rates for some of the girl characters.

Man that would be one hell of a project to take on. Seems like an enourmous amount of text you would have to translate. At least the Snatcher script was translated before slowbeef got the ball rolling on the translation patch.

Yes! Theres just so much stuff in the game. Even the facial animation stuff is wild for the time too.

As a measure of how long he's been around -- Tim Rogers has had parodies of him made back from...gently caress, nearly fifteen years ago! That were on the BBC! Well, BBC 2 Scotland.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7yXKrIQ8Ps&t=1247s

To be fair, it's Tim Rogers mixed with Kieron Gillen, founder of Rock Paper Shotgun. Also kinda funny that Rab Florence, who is quite of the NSJ bent himself is doing the parody.

Get bashed, platonist!

Right now Jerma is going through an ordeal where he bet 500 million community subs that he wouldn’t miss a shot in Noita, and he did, and now his chat is holding the $2,500,000,000 debt over his head. He did a stream starring his his dog in exchange for, if I recall correctly, $375,000,000 worth of debt relief.

Most recently, he made a bet on a video game wrestling match that if he had lost he would have had to do a stream dressed as a catboy, but since he won he got a full billion taken off. Then he went double or nothing and lost, so now he owes that billion again and has to do two catboy streams. I’m really enjoying the debt arc.

It's still crazy to me that streamers have to pay to gift subs in their own channel. I get that Twitch wants their money, but it seems like that's something that should be up to the streamer if they want to give people free subs

It’s weird to hear Descent described at a niche FPS offshoot because it was my jam back then and I was all over Overload. I guess it kind of was since the Descents are almost the only examples of Descents.

I never realized that Freespace was an offshoot of Descent. Also I'm pretty sure that the ship from that first Descent game is just a slightly altered R-41 Starchaser from Tie Fighter.
