That is fucked.  Also he's so chill and calm normally, and after he eats the meth chocolate he still is, but the pauses between words and sentences are way shorter.

His hands were shaking even at the beginning of the video, so maybe he got more than one tin.

I'm not seeing any indication this chocolate came with amphetamines in it anywhere I look. iirc "pervitin" was their primary meth delivery system. one article I found referred to chocolate containing meth as a myth https://montrealgazette.com/opinion/columnists/the-right-chemistry-once-a-weapon-methamphetamine-is-now-a-target quote:The popularity of the brand increased dramatically during the war, when the chocolate was provided to Luftwaffe pilots as well as to tank and submarine crews to induce wakefulness and alertness. This led to the myth, repeated in many historical accounts, that the real reason that the chocolates, known colloquially as “Fliegerschokolade,” or “aviator chocolate,” were so prized was that they actually contained amphetamines. They did not. The stimulant effect was due completely to caffeine, with a serving containing about as much caffeine as a strong cup of coffee. e. the few images I found of meth + chocolate featured Zotter chocolate, which led me here: https://www.zotter.at/en/about-zotter/press-downloads/statement-on-alleged-panzerschokolade-tank-chocolate Famethrowa fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Dec 10, 2021 |

I got suspicious when I scrolled back to the start of the video and saw that he was makijg comments about there being “something about it” from the start, and I literally stopped watching because I wanted it to be real so bad. PLEASE don’t take this from me.

the "meth in nazi chocolate rations" comes from the fact that the tank crews called meth "panzer chocolate," even though it was just, meth

I'm watching Max's Guardians of the Galaxy LP on twitch and this moment would have sold me if I hadn't been sold by the first video. the game has a streamer mode that disables copyrighted music, but someone suggested max just play covers whenever DMCA-triggering songs would kick in, and, well it's loving incredible (youtube version) it's a god damned shame that this game's marketing was disastrously terrible. luckily word of mouth seems to be getting it the accolades it deserves, it's loving fantastic even if it's slightly buggy. probably one of the best comic book video games ever made, and far better than the GOTG movies.

Endorph posted:The complete dismissal of any conversation about Japanese games is a bit weird but I'm not expecting Yahtzee to get into the conversation there. Though saying anime characters 'look white' is always a little suspect. I think he is saying that its an unclear subject not just because of the way anime is drawn, but because "A game like Persona 5 technically counts as diverse for us, but not for Japan itself." Not the prettiest answer I know. And I cant recall all of the games he reviewed for those years, so I wouldn't know if he missed anything that came from Japan.

DeafNote posted:I think he is saying that its an unclear subject not just because of the way anime is drawn, but because "A game like Persona 5 technically counts as diverse for us, but not for Japan itself." sounded sensible to me - he's considering "diversity" not just along race/gender lines, but also on power dynamics relative to the culture of its creators. specifically for persona 5, ann would probably qualify under those standards, but then you run into headaches with how to evaluate ensemble casts (to say nothing of how racial angst was already done much better by lisa silverman, but no one could ever accuse persona 5 of being too daring with social issues)

Tragic that we'll never get more incisive writing from the team that brought us "Yeah, the dystopia themes in Cowboy Bebop were a real downer so we decided to cut them." and "Well it wasn't all the cops who were bad, just the one bad apple!"DeafNote posted:I think he is saying that its an unclear subject not just because of the way anime is drawn, but because "A game like Persona 5 technically counts as diverse for us, but not for Japan itself." IIRC from watching his things years ago, he mostly avoids JRPGs specifically because he doesn't like most of tropes or stock characters that crop up. However, he did like the character writing enough in Persona 5 to play it all the way through. Looking at the video.... declaring the kids on Persona 5 are "white" is a bit off-base when they are explicitly Japanese high schoolers and one is canonically mixed race.

The game pretty sharply calls out a lot of problems with modern day Japan (and yes, a lot of this resonates within the USA as well): a hopelessly corrupt and insular justice system, a corrupt and insular government to go along with it, an apathetic populace that isn't really interested in addressing said government either via the ballot box or direct action, a culture that levies unrealistic expectations and requirements of conformity on the youth that - if somebody fails to meet and/or openly challenges - are isolated from their peers and openly disdained by adults, even people like teachers who ostensibly should be acting as guardians and stewards for their students. All of this is openly addressed as wrong, and the Phantom Thieves fight to right those wrongs, first on an individual level and eventual for all society. ...Except then in the end the message suddenly does a 180 and becomes "actually directly challenging all of that is not only wrong but selfish, because the few should not impose their will on the many no matter the reason. Let's instead place our faith in the few good apples like Sae and Yoshida to maintain a clear sense of justice and change the system from within." Hell one of your party members: after playing direct witness to and fighting against the worst aspects of the Japanese police system, decides that her dream in life is to become a cop.  P5S had the same problem of everything just reverting to the status quo after all's said and done, but at least it introduced Zenkichi as an example of how (minor spoiler) even somebody who enters a corrupt system with the best intentions and highest moral standards can eventually become beaten down, coerced, manipulated, and eventually corrupted into perpetuating that system.

Someday they'll make the teens with superpowers game that ends with top liberals being publicly executed while crowds cheer from viewing stands. Until then internet edgelords will just have to keep jacking it to lithographs of the French Revolution with democrat headshots pasted over the faces. That's praxis, baby.

I understand Yahtzee was going for more of a "main characters are stand-ins representing the 'majority culture'" there but it's an awkward shorthand. Then again, a more appropriately descriptive shorthand is pretty much impossible without it turning into a garbled string of words like I just did.

DeafNote posted:I think he is saying that its an unclear subject not just because of the way anime is drawn, but because "A game like Persona 5 technically counts as diverse for us, but not for Japan itself." He counted ghost of tsushima as diverse because it was made in the west where japanese aren't the predominant ethnic group, but not persona 5 because it's japanese and thus comes from a place where japanese are the predominant ethnic group. That checks out to me, though I dont entirely agree with his 'other' categorizations entirely. Terrible Opinions posted:Tyranny's already out and pretty dang good. Too bad it made no money. I love tyranny even if it's blatantly unfinished, but the rebel routes are totally the least interesting content in the game.

One thing I did find weird is that as far as I can tell everyone who did make that (fairly valid) argument about the political commentary being cut didn't really mention Dog Star Swing, where the cops cap a surrendering guy in the head solely so they don't have to pay out the bounty to the protagonists who just talked him out of suicide. And his motivation had been to kidnap and murder the pets of a bunch of 1%ers (specifically because they'd prioritised saving their pets over other people, including his family), only to not be able to being himself to kill a bunch of innocent animals. Granted it's only one episode, but I'm kind of surprised I didn't see it mentioned all that much.
