JordanKai posted:All jokes aside, I wish the Youtubers making these iceberg explanation videos went into a little bit more depth or would provide more personal commentary. A lot of these videos boil down to the Youtuber rattling off the information they could find about the subject without adding much of their own work to it. Even Nyx's video is guilty of this to some extent. Isn't "explained" primarily SEO fodder at this point? I see loads of videos with "explained" just bolted to the end of the title these days regardless of the actual content.

Yeah basically a big factor for how these videos are formated relies on cliock bait optimisiation, which is why so many videos "explaining" the blindingly obvious, and just tell you the sequence of events as the events are playing out again exist.

Lotus Aura posted:Yeah, a lot of the ones in this video just kinda made me go "...wait, is that it?" It didn't help that a lot of them definitely blurred together, even to May herself it seems, when the descriptions could basically just be "it's the same as the last one but with a different name" for like half of them. The actual interesting stuff worth a mention here was after the final tier when she briefly went over some things that didn't even make the list for whatever reason. It also doesn't help that the bottom tiers are almost all just a bunch of got effect shot compilations, gross-out porn, or things that might not even actually exist and only get their ranking from playground rumours about being totally real snuff film. I guess that's more on the tier list than the video itself, but it does make for a dull conclusion.

They just recently announced a revised core set of Arkham that has enough cards for four players and organization. They are also getting rid of the monthly pack release and moving to two boxes per set, one for player cards and a second for the scenarios. It really sucks to want to buy a new campaign and to be short a pack or two. It’s also really easy to proxy the cards you are shorted but I totally understand that issue, it’s very consumer unfriendly. I still think it is a much better system than relying on random chance and artificial scarcity to get the cards you want. But there is definitely room for improvement.

In reality trying to run down the two OOP packs from the Innsmouth Cycle is maddening so I'm glad they're shifting gears more.

Don't remember if this got posted but Eyepatch Wolf talks talks about his favourite things summer 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvhrGQM4YlI He mentions i.a. Hazel's video about Elfen Lied, Alex Moukala Music, Shaun's video about Hiroshima and Nagasaki and WoolieVs's Guilty Gear videos and some anime and games (including Disco Elysium!) He also talks about Kentaro Miura passing away and that there are some people who say they'll never read Berserk now because it won't be finished so there's no point?? What is this insanity

In the worst case scenario: it can't game of thrones people who've been invested in this for over 20 years. In best case scenarios, it's halted at a point where you could quite literally just have the character stories stop here and it's kind of fine. Or you can imagine whatever ending you, personally, wanted for it and it's just as valid as anyone else's unless they decide to release the notes on how it was supposed to go.

The general consensus is that it's on a place where most leads are at ease with themselves and his editor, the one that kept telling him to stop burning himself, does have a draft of how the story would go, so it's a matter or not of seeing the equivalent of this float somewhere at some point.

I don't know about "better" than reaching the actual ending, but I agree that buried in the tragedy there was a stroke of good fortune in the series stopping where it did vs some other, more inconclusive point in the narrative. If it had ended with Guts and friends still on the boat I think people would have lost their minds.

Lindsey Ellis decided to relay her experiences to the BBC. I imagine her agent probably went to the local parish and lit every candle hoping that someone like Laura Knuenssburg or Priti Patel would burst into that doc and go "As a visible woman on the media that got the ire of the mob, I"

Of course this one isn't about TERFs, but it takes a certain person to tackle cancel culture the way they are. Not gonna listen, but even the summary gets the side eye with it's use of "pile on." In Ellis' case it was people bringing up other times she was lovely in response to folks who couldn't believe she could be insensitive with her words. Complex reason is she has a platform and people will "go to bat for her."

I mean it's the exact same concept they use though. Anyone saying 'hey this post loving sucks' is making the person 'the villain of the day', instantly framing it as 'how could you ever even dare to do this to this innocent person' rather than just like...not making 'local internet person gets told her take sucked' into international news.

Breaking out "cancel culture" has almost always been a "NOOOO YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE ME FOR MY ACTIONS" smokescreen. Man, imagine if Nixon could've pulled that one out for watergate.

She made a two hour video about that where she then explains that people were digging up every issue they had with her, big and small, unwarranted and warranted, fair and unfair. I'm not saying you must watch it before you say anything about it, but that she did address that. Not to mention that she spent way too much bank and latin to go straight into that sort of nonsense.

I'm gonna level with you Kunster, I'm not going to watch a two hour video to decide if I can think it's insufferable to hear someone use literally international news to complain about being 'the villain' months ago with some people saying she sucked and nothing else happening to her.

This is extremely awkward to have to dip my toes into, given that a huge chunk of my distaste with Lindsay the last time was because of Jourdain's concurrent tweet thread about how she and Kyle were mistreated by Lindsay/Todd/Lina and co. ... and it turned out Jourdain at the very lest embellished a LOT of the narrative surrounding it. I still think the best course of action for Lindsay was to just stop at the Patreon statement. Her die hard fans and haters have not been swayed by the video, and she heavily overestimated the number of fence sitters to the situation, least of all how online the whole drama was. EDIT: one of my friends' response to that video, pretty much mirrors most of my thoughts on the situation (Feel free to disregard all this and think if the whole video was a waste of time if you want to, though?): quote:Feelings are mixed. I do sympathize with Ellis much more than I had before; just seeing the sheer amount of garbage she had to deal with, a lot of it obvious trolling or dogpiling, over the past few weeks put her nuking her account, etc. in context. And how hard it can be to sort legitimate critiques from trolling and bad faith insults when you're absolutely inundated by it. And yeah, it's hard to see the specific tweet in and of itself as overly offensive, but again, it's part of a larger conversation (or a couple of larger conversations) that it can't be dismissed so blithely.
