I general love Noah's videos but a three hour Cyberpunk Review that talks about it as if it's just a generic mismash of tropes and imagery taken from other popular Cyberpunk media as if the RPG its based on doesn't even exist is very funny to me, just a huge unintended dis on the quality of the Cyberpunk franchise in general.

Yeah. Like he doesn’t know it’s based on an existing IP and yeah. I agree with him on it being a weird mishmash of mechanical design and that hurts it because it’s clearly sufferes from getting a bunch of reboots much like bioshock infinite. I think cyberpunk 2077 works great as a personal story about redemption and humanity in a damned world where evil of the 80s won forever and a city that eats people body and soul. I like Noah even when I don’t agree with him. I like ghost recon wildlands including the dumb story. So lol.

It's a good video. Even if nothing makes me feel as ancient as listening to older zoomers reminisce about their things that happened in their youth as though the Obama administration was ancient history.

Culture has genuinely moved much faster since the 2008 collapse. There is more history between now and the start of Obama's term than there was between the 2008 collapse and the turn of the century, roughly speaking. We were young at the end of history and they were young at the start of whatever wild poo poo we're trying to survive right now. They'll be completely different wikipedia articles.

a good youtube comment.

quote:

In the US Army, at least, there is a concept that soldiers simply refer to as "the poo poo". The poo poo is not mere combat, soldiers know how to deal with combat. Rather, being in the poo poo is to be in a place where the usual playbook isn't working, where command has even less clue than usual of what's going on, where the "quick" reaction force is an hour away, and the fear of death comes not from a stray bullet, but instead the distinct impression that the air is filled with more lead than oxygen.

To me, World at War is a recreation of how people remember the poo poo. It's not a true-to-life depiction of war, both via its nature as a game and by its stylistic choices, but these inaccuracies of literal reality instead mirror the fallibility and selectivity of human memory; a highlight reel of carnage, the things that refused to be forgotten with age, churned by restless dreams into something even worse than the truth.

i like that game. its a nice depressing horror show.

Watching this reminded me of Sage's quote from his Summer Wars video. It's a shame when you can see what anime (or any media really) could be rather than what it is usually allowed to be.

Working within constraints can sometimes yield amazing sparks of creativity but more often they end up being a burden on the creative process. Risk averse franchise behemoths that need to put profitability before quality and crash costing both make me sad.

Not that I can think of. The closest thing that comes to mind is Like Stories of Old, a channel that analyzes folklore, literature and the modern day film interpretations. Kind of like a deeper dive into the subtext and messages of fairy tales and myth.

Ah ok.

I'll be honest, I ask because I had an idea for awhile to record myself in my Witch Ren faire costume reciting fairy tales and such for youtube.

I took a shot at recording but hit a snag. Turns out the default camera app on my phone only records in 10 minuet increments.

I'm pretty sure in the first fifteen minutes, they say the exact same sentence 7 or 8 times, slightly reworded. The video really opens up after the introduction and groundwork though.

For how often WaW simply gets dismissed as the "Unwanted Return to WW2" and "The Edgelord CoD" it's a really refreshing perspective to see someone go in and examine the details of the game in-depth. Good poo poo.

Eh, there's plenty of hack poo poo that's just edgy and boring and that's all there really is to it, say the game Agony which summed up to WOOOAH BRO, HELL IS BLOOD AND VAGINAS AND RETINA BURNING OVERUSE OF EFFECTS.

And then a little after release sold itself further on "THE PC POLICE WOULDN'T LET US PUT THESE EXTRA DEMON PUSSIES IN THE GAME, PLS BUY AND STICK IT TO THEM"

In my own experience when people write off something as "edgelordy" without saying anything of substance, what they actually mean is "it owns".

Them usually being way nicer is going to be a treat.

Hey, thanks for the awareness! This was so much fun to watch live, even if a bunch of games don't work. Lots of good ones too! Alongside some thoroughly awful ones. Always great to see the Speccy get love, and Danny and Alex are thoroughly cool peeps.

It's remarkable that for all the demon vaginas and gore in that game, what made it hardest to look at was the unity lighting.
