I miss CGI. That was my favorite podcast. I like Besties but it doesn't scratch the same itch.

The moment they stumble into "Hugh Jackman's Huge Acting" is loving incredible, as is Tara telling Griffin "nobody knows who you are, or cares"

I'm a few pages behind, but this thread apparently has enough of a parasocial relationship with Travis to feel comfortable pretending to be his therapist. Which is a totally cool and normal thing to do and doesn't smack of a bizarre grudge at all.

Polygon still does occasional streams on twitch which is fun but not really the same as the Awful Squad days.

Deeters posted:They're not the best, but I don't know where else to go for good video game news, so I end up going to them the number one thing that Polygon had going for them in the early years immediately post-launch was that they were unequivocally on the correct side of GamerGate at a time when a lot of powerful voices in the industry and attendant media were, at best, content to ride it out quietly and at worst outing themselves as chud-curious or more They were the progressive(TM) gaming site that Kotaku was trying to rebrand as minus the years of baggage and old readers angry at the perceived slight Vox started their own gaming site! What a novel concept! And when the GamerGaters latched onto Trump Polygon was there looking like a newsroom full of gamer Ronan Farrows who had scooped/predicted the whole thing Polygon is the gaming news site that a woman might consider reading, because there’s pretty much fuckall else that’s not strong praise, it just means that there’s an absence of alternatives

I miss SEO Play and Video Game Theatre the most. Polygon had so many excellent series going from 2017-2019 that I blame COVID for ending.

Ok Comboomer posted:and before BDG it was Monster Factory Yea i've been saying for years that as he was too big/ talented for Polygon BDG would leave and once he did they'd go under, it's actually a slower death than I thought. I like the crew there but they just have ZERO idea how to utilize their talent, also yes their articles are terrible.

He is seriously ill and needs to get help or go away for awhile. lol "seriously ill" because he was a bit whiny on a video game stream? Calm the gently caress down. Even if you aren't just referring to this one way he was acting when playing a video game (where im fairly sure he was semi joking) and include his bad tweets and everything else people go at him for, he's not "seriously ill". Travis is annoying, he irks me at times but Jesus some of you need to chill. Just Chamber fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Mar 20, 2021 |

I think Nick was very funny but maybe he just matches my demo as a rhythm game obsessive. I haven't followed any of his post-polygon content because I don't want to support a creep but I would vastly prefer if he was just provably no longer a creep.

https://twitch.tv/videos/954604392 You can skip around and get a feel for the general vibe and some of the annoying stuff Trav does character-wise but his "rant" starts around 1:12:00. It sounds like Travis is not a part of the clique and that upsets him with how they play. Seriously ill is laffo though.

Am I missing something? Hasnt he talked about having mental health issues related to narcissism? Perhaps I should have said “somewhat ill” instead of seriously ill? He took a break from Twitter for his own mental health right?
