I have some pretty fond memories of disintegrating small dinosaurs with Grant’s taser, and of eating them with the raptor.

It's hilarious, mostly because the one playing knows next to nothing about how the mechanics work and even with explanations, he bumbles around like a 5-year old playing his first video game. I didn't realize these guys were running a semi-successful youtube channel now! I remember when they posted their first LP of Silent Hill on the forums, watched the whole thing. It was simultaneously as entertaining as it was frustrating, I suppose in the way most blind LPs are. I wonder how long ago that wa-- YouTube posted:Published on April 14th, 2012 Jesus Christ

Clickbait/anti-clickbait thumbnails kinda wash over me now; maybe it's because I've been watching YouTube videos for years now, but so many creators I follow eventually cave on them because of the algorithm that I don't fault any of them for doing it. Titles, on the other hand, bother me a lot more. Stuff like "Top 10 _____" or "You WON'T Believe What [insert your favorite creator here] Just Did!" are going to be videos that I avoid like the plague

Instead of making individual videos of getting each smash character into elite smash, alpharad did a huge marathon of getting every remaining character in, all in a row. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szSsGCoa86w&hd=1 On his journey, he encountered a K rool player by the name of Ironwill, and it is legendary. I can't believe he ran into him that many times in a row

How is Nintendo so offensively bad at online stuff? It's loving 2021 and they still haven't figured out that they need to have some kind of penalty for repeatedly quitting out of ranked games?

There was that poo poo in the news recently where it was revealed they haven't updated their online gaming infrastructure since about the Gamecube era. As to why, probably the same reason Nintendo does anything weird and lovely the way it does: withered Japanese executives whose success is in spite of their efforts rather than a result.

There's a story from from Wii U era where a game developer referenced XBL/PSN features they'd like to see on the system, and Nintendo told them that nobody working on the system had used XBL or PSN  https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-secret-developers-wii-u-the-inside-story

iirc, Nintendo's blind spot with online integration is because they don't hire in, they train up existing staff. So their practical knowledge is non-existent compared to other devs that have twenty-odd years of playing with such system inside and out.

So their practical knowledge is non-existent compared to other devs that have twenty-odd years of playing with such system inside and out. Which, let's be honest, works incredibly well to cultivate the nontangible feeling that you are playing a "Nintendo" game. There is a distinct culture that they've built, and it is truly unique. On the whole, I can't say I really care about online features from Nintendo, given how strong their single player experiences are consistently. Perhaps there is an argument for carefully outsourcing their online features, but I would be really sad if they lost their corporate culture. It's bad enough that microtransaction-y DLC is beginning to sneak in.

I get that to a degree, but if they're going to keep pushing for online features, they also need to smarten up on how to do so.

I don't use it because it's another expense to be paid to do so and none of the games I'm playing have felt like they needed online to be complete so I haven't bothered. But if they're going to have online as a feature to their games then it shouldn't be awful. Definitely should be at the decency of a Luigi's Mansion in three years.

The Bee posted:I get that to a degree, but if they're going to keep pushing for online features, they also need to smarten up on how to do so. It's this. I don't care about their online features as long as they're not important. But the more important they become the better they kind of need to be. Like Street Pass. Street Pass was basically a jank-rear end system that worked really well in Japan but not in a lot of places like America unless you just sat downtown at a gamestop or something. But as long as it was just like, goofy messages that maybe gave you a potion or a brief exp bonus or something it was easy not to care about. But as the system's lifespan went on the features would occasionally become weirdly important until you wound up with situations where whether or not you could get the strongest equipment in the game or do the post-game content at all depended on your ability to get lots of street passes with no in-game alternative.

I started work at a comic store right at the tail end of the craze. It was wild. The aftermath of people holding onto their stuff way too long if they wanted to turn a profit on it was also a thing. They thought they were going to fund their kids' college tuitions with it (which admittedly was far from the only thing I saw people think they had a gold mine with).

They were also everywhere and at lots of gift stores, kind of like Funko Pops now. I'm looking forward to it too. From Jenny's Twitter, she's also going to go into how massive the fade was and cover all the side markets, like clothes, that popped up. I know that there are still aspects of this with toys and things like Funko Pops, but man, the 90s were really the era of companies just churning out collectibles to profit off of people who thought that their commemorative copy of Superman's death would be worth millions.

A fun little background detail from a recent Jenny video was that she made/bought a giant Beanie Baby tag for her big spider plush.

yeah i didn't really like that needle drop video felt like he was really bad at articulating why he thought some choices were better than others past the fact that he liked the movies themselves better also had a laugh at him calling A REAL HERO AND A REAL HUMAN BEING in drive subtle, and a bigger laugh at underlining how good it was to use rage against the machine's wake up in the matrix for the scene where neo has just woken up and flies off to rage against the machines

a cool feature of youtube is that theres no way to upload an edited version of a video you've already uploaded which you would think would be an obvious thing to do for situations exactly like this and now that we don't have annotations you can't even just mash the correct word over your mistake i too have been trapped in the typo trap and just went "oh my god please don't make me delete it and upload it AGAIN"

To be fair, if you asked me to spell diegetic off the top of my head I would have made the exact same mistake Willems did in his video. However, if I made a video about it I probably would have spell checked it first as well. But it's not a big deal, if posts on SA were marked for spelling and grammar lots of people would fail.
