BigRed0427 posted:OH WOW! I missed the part where Doug took two real life people's mental health problems and made them into his character's backstory. Youtube recommended this same video to me and I skipped it due to it being recommended after I watched a particularly crummy video on The Day The Clown Cried but the more and more people post about it I wanna get some free time to watch it. The only impact I had on it was half remembering it when someone made a *inspirational* gif set of his speech on the Lorax review.

Unless reminded, blindfolds slip back on very easily for a lot of people sadly.

Dwelling on something negative that you can't do anything about isn't very helpful. Far from stopping people from going numb, I'd say the repetition actually makes it easier to tune out.Ghostlight posted:It may sound simple, but you don't have to watch every one. You could use that line to brush off any piece of media criticism, though. "Don't like that movie? Well you didn't have to watch it  "And anyway, the point is that Jim's show wasn't always like this. It used to be that you could watch every week and see some interesting analysis of games and the game industry but it's only relatively recently that the videos have started feeling so interchangeable. I will say this latest one did at least have some news about Anthem, and I'm always up for a bit of dancing on that game's grave.

"I don't like their consistency in choice of topic" is fine as a personal opinion to hold but pretty useless as a criticism

But I don't really think its helping anyone at this point or taking any blindfolds off of people who didn't know about this yet. If you've followed Jim's content for the last couple of years, the notion of 'AAA game industry bad' is probably pretty firmly drilled into your head by now. The issue isn't as much, 'there's no point in reiterating it every week' as it 'cripes, talk about something else once in a while.' Like, at this point, you can probably read about the same things Jim talks about elsewhere in an article, and take away the same message in a quarter of the time.

The AAA game industry is content to repeat the same mistakes over and over again so until they stop that I see no issue with one person constantly putting out videos about that well-trodden ground.

Derails are fine. It's always been strange to me that people can make a living just summarizing movies on YouTube. It's what Doug Walker and his imitators did. There's a channel I stumbled upon called Spooky Rice that does the same thing for disturbing horror movies. Just a chronological retelling of the plot nothing added. Hundreds of thousands of views per video.

I guess at least it's better than something like Cinemasins but at the same time I have run across people who treat those videos as comparable to watching the movie and it drives me up a wall in the way that people who recite crap from Cinemasins doesn't.

Yeah, I like their video, still watch them and even used to defend them against post like this but "let me point out how lovely this is" kind of videos just aren't doing it for me these days. Yes, things suck in the "AAA" space and they have for a long time, but when you start repeating the same stuff you've been saying for years it starts to become tedious. Instead of complaining about this bad thing, why not take a solutions-based approach? Why not promote some innovative indie project? Their pivot to tying it with capitalism was their best idea because instead of just pointing out company does bad thing for profit, you attack and analyze the economic system that allows them to do this. They occasionally put a video out that's pretty darn insightful but more often than not I usually turn it off about half way in because I've heard this same argument and point before.

It is funny how the imagined narrative of AoT by people who aren't watching it and getting their information secondhand (or more) has progressed as the series does. It used to be a secret call to action for the youth of Japan to militarize. My only complaint is I watched a clip Funimation themselves put up and it spoiled a character death which has really bummed me out because I'd been pretty spoiler free and also I liked the character a lot.

Last weekend you could easily sap all your lifeforce from witnessing the discussion behind Vision talking about grief. Jesus Christ I can easily, easily picture a Sarah Z video on like the reaction to that line and the sheer backlash to the reaction of that line, like, a few years down the line to the point I almost felt bad for capestuff enjoyers.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:What's the pun? It's "Shingeki no Kyojin" (literally Attack's Titan) which at first looks like it just means the show is about Titans being attacked (Japanese doesn't have plural forms on nouns). A little way into the story the protagonist gets the power to turn into a Titan himself, only it's a special kind of Titan called the Attack Titan (also Shingeki no Kyojin).

I might not have finished the first season of Attack on Titan if the Super Best Friends weren't also watching it. They often did segments at the end of their podcasts where they talk about things in spoilers (and also sometimes their regular videos), and I decided to hold off on those segments until I caught up with the show, too (this is also how I watched Kill la Kill). By the end of the season, I was hooked enough to binge-read the existing manga chapters, which didn't include the basement reveal but did include some other twists that held my attention very well at the time. After that, though, I never made a point of keeping up with the series, even after another thread spoiled the basement for me. Maybe when it's all over I'll try again.
