Did you know that literally a third of Xenosaga Episode III takes place in the same loving place you've blown up twice already in the series, the tower Labyrinthos? Read Listen all about it this week on Lightning Strikes Thrice.



Bonus: the above cursed image will make more sense if you do. (We're finally at the part where we can stop dancing around spoilers for the most part!)

Always wanted to try the Xenosaga games. Shame they decided to only bring the 2nd part and nothing else to Europe.

Jose playing clips from Joel Berry (the Bee's editor in chief) is really funny because I got that guy so mad about a bit I did on twitter he eventually replied to me with a bunch of screenshots of me doing it and then the Bee account blocked me.

The Hard Times is not conservative but is indeed a lovely Onion knockoff.

you might be thinking of it still actually. Until fairly recently Babylon Bee was just generic 'clean comedy' (not really but less raunchy than Onion at least) version of The Onion for midwestern fun churches to put on the corkboard and all. It wasn't really GOOD but it was its own thing, but then like late-Obama era it made a hard turn to "AOC STRANGLES SELF WITH SHOELACES BECAUSE SHE'S SO STUPID AND LIBERAL AND UGLY AND I HATE HER" white knuckle freak poo poo

I realized scrolling through the Geek Remix YouTube that I'd actually watched a let's play from them once.

After playing Return of the Obra Dinn, I watched a bunch of other LPers go through it because it was fun to see how different people approached the puzzle solving. I liked seeing what clues different people did or didn't catch and what sort of reasoning they used.

The Geek Remix play through ended with them looking up all of the answers online. So that was a memorable playthrough in its own way.

lol

I think they got their start thanks to Life is Strange, with a lot of theory videos.

Honestly ever since the Onion has elevated from satire to horrifying portent of what is and what will be, Hard Times has been a good replacement if you just want dumb Onion-esque jokes about music or games or what have you

I just went to their front page and laughed at multiple headlines.

Yea Hard Drive/Hard Times is pretty solid for niche Onion-esque humor, they know their lanes and play to their strengths. The Godsmack headline also got me pretty well.

does anyone know any other boring psyche guys i can listen to with some sort of pedigree? someone here linked me to "psychology in seattle" and i enjoyed it very much. more like that would appreciated. thank u

I'm assuming this is a general request and not specifically Munchausen's so here's some good psych creators on YT I like:

Dr Daniel Fox specializes in personality disorders, specifically Borderline, and has a lot of good info on it, mostly aimed at people who have the disorder but also helpful for general knowledge https://www.youtube.com/c/DrDanielFox/videos

Dr Tracey Marks is a psychiatrist who covers a variety of mental health subjects at a basic level https://www.youtube.com/c/DrTraceyMarks

Mickey Atkins is a licensed therapist and social worker, and is more youtubery and does a lot of reaction videos, but also has some really solid info https://www.youtube.com/c/MickeyAtkins

Cinema Therapy covers psychology education by framing it around various movies, which is cool for immediately accessible object lessons https://www.youtube.com/c/CinemaTherapySolutions

Ana Psychology is a clinical psychology doctoral candidate who covers a variety of psychology-related subjects https://www.youtube.com/c/AnaPsychology/

If you watch any of these you'll probably also see various other clinicians who have their own channels. The only one I'd actively recommend against is Dr. Todd Grande, who is a huge dick.

PiS is the real gold standard of the bunch, since it's run by someone who is both a professor and someone who's super into podcasting, so it's got the combination of high production values and extremely good info, but these are all decent for scratching different levels of the "I want to know more about headshrinking" itch.

People keep wanting her story to be of the Dave Chapelle kind where she does a heel turn and starts yelling about political correctness gone mad, but she had been pretty clear on the video-making thing being horrible and carrying years of people harassing her and nazis threatening to kill her parents etc beforehand to the point of unsustainability, and the “cancellation” event upsetting her because it caused people she knew to stop talking to her, which is painful, and others to treat her like she was contaminated and that her presence could contaminate them, which is humiliating.

What happened to her loving sucks. It’s ostracism, which was an ancient punishment because it is painful and humiliating. Have some compassion.

I think a lot of people want Lindsay Ellis to be the villain in this because they can only think of the situation in terms of the right wing talking point of "Cancel Culture" and a need to refute it. In actuality the situation surrounding Lindsay and her departure from making videos has more in common with the tabloid culture of the 1990s than it does with the modern, invented culture war and I don't think Lindsay has ever really tried to present it as a culture war thing. Her response has never been "Oh no, I've been cancelled for wrongthink by the SJW mafia" it is "I've found myself in a position where I'm under constant scrutiny from random strangers and any time one of my takes gains traction on Twitter, people start digging into my personal life and dredging up poo poo from my past that is none of their business"

It's a reflection of the bigger, underlying problem that modern social media platformscreate an environment where people no longer need to be major celebrities to be the topic of hot goss.

This thread is as guilty as anyone else of perpetuating this sort of culture: How often do we get people throwing up Twitter callout posts in here without context? How many people in here are more interested in which video producer is getting called out by someone than the actual content being produced?
