Movie Bob's philosophy is very straightforward: if you like the same video games and cartoons as him then you deserve to live.

My most pathetic moviebob story is when Shaun told him on twitter to shut up after posting one of his patented Moviebob takes, which triggered Bob into a retweeting storm and just endlessly retweeting his fans agreeing with him for several days lol

Moviebob's frustration that Stupid Assholes are around is understandable, but his belief that they're only here cause civilization is too kind is strange to still have. It's the internet age, the doors are wide open to the kind of people who make life difficult, and it's not the kind of people that a cruel world would grind away.

Violet_Sky posted:I find its easier to google recipes than to buy meal kits. You can find interesting stuff no matter your dietary preferences Googled recipes that show up first are usually recipes written by 40 year old white wine moms who have no idea how to actually cook. Google shows you convenience and familiarity first (because that's what people who don't cook are googling more) over actually good recipes made by people who know what they are doing. The meal crates are a terrible, terrible, terrible value if you are just going by how much the food cost is, but I recommend them to a lot of people who can afford them for a month or two who want to get better at cooking or learn to make new things. Most of them (especially Blue Apron) have talented chefs in their company making the recipes so you get good flavors/ingredients, and the instructions are written in a way that still use some more complicated cooking techniques/ingredients (again, depending on the service and which meals you choose) while being easy to follow. They're also good for learning portion control sizes. If you don't have the money for a month or two of the services but want to learn to cook better meals/new recipes I recommend finding some scans online of the recipe cards for the companies.

I find it interesting people have moved into saying Hillibilly Elegy was supposed to be seen as this warning when JD Vance's career has been easily defined as saying "Rural whites are utterly indistinguishable from cartoon orcish creatures with barely a sense of self perservation or curiosity or emapthy where any attempt at addressing material concerns they might have, other than a flourish to own progressives, is useless after years of substance abuse, isolation and inbreeding, and somehow that's a good thing since it means their attitude is somehow more authentic" over and over again, which is why he found kinship as an ""explainer"" of Trump's win that excuses anything other than... well a fake sentiment that you can easily imprint either some sense of ""honor"" or utter disdain towards a whole underclass. And somehow I can see the same people who wanted Waiting For Superman or Malcolm Gladwell's writings about education to flourish realize that just having Christopher Rufo be the battering ram to crush public education measures by screaming about cathode ray tubes and furries. Which I guess why it explains his sudden surge in GOP polling, even as a detractor of Trump a couple years ago. Both modern GOP and people like Moviebob benefit from someone like that, is what I'm saying. John Murdoch posted:You say that, but Sonic remains an incredibly easy target (we literally just had a dumb argument ITT where people tried to claim the character is an obscure throwback with no cultural cachet) and 06 in particular is a powerfully, mythologically bad game in a series known for bad games. I also have a theory that Sonic's close association with furries leads to a much more outsized overreaction than other bad or just thoroughly mediocre games. It's a very ,very adolescent game and he has gone out of his way on a lot of other titles to celebrate other titles that had a very similiar vibe. I don't mind that. It's when he goes "No these mechanics and controls are actually good!", there's this occasional sentiment you see on backlash towards backlash of Wii-era motion control games that gets summed up with "Oh, you got this from a youtuber, did you.  ". Picture if that was the pervailing thought around, let's say, SQIJ or HareRaiser. Which is why I was surprised he didn't say anything about the speedrunning community around the game or how with a few tweaks you have a decent title where the constant voice lines become endearing and not a reminder you just had to repeat a level bc you got caught in geometry for the nth time.Arc Hammer posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXNNhF-fJkA I played the hell out of the demo (second stage of the game) and having this free roaming level that would even play on my Pentium at 133 MHZ was astonishing. Mind you, not knowing much of the game meant that you'd accidently blast the boss during your free roam since he could show up on the building on the middle, but bc the main character's speed was almost Doom-guy fast, you could get a really fun Doppler effect just speeding away from every goon's barks.

Bob is theoretically socially liberal, in that he believes that he thinks racism and homophobia are bad. But in practice his actual policy beliefs are extremely racist, sexist, and ableist because his underlying political understanding is "evil jocks who play Metroid Prime oppressing the nerds who should be running everything, who wisely play Mario 3

I'm pretty sure Hbomberguy did so too. Possibly when he was going on about wanting to reduce the South to a parking lot or similar, which I would prefer to avoid because I live there.

CinemaRoberto is also a Boston townie, making him a resident of one of the most racist cities in the United States. But, having seen no other part of the country beyond his yearly trips to ComicCon, he’s convinced that the rest of the country (especially the dreaded red states) are somehow even more racist. If the dude ever spent time in Memphis or Atlanta it would destroy his entire worldview like a funko pops in a hydronic press.

Google shows you convenience and familiarity first (because that's what people who don't cook are googling more) over actually good recipes made by people who know what they are doing. This maps to my experience, too. I am a pretty decent home cook, but a friend living with me for a while wanted to try Blue Apron to learn to cook, and the food's good and the instructions are excellent. I learned a few new things, and I wasn't expecting to. At the moment, I'm using Freshly because my kitchen is a home renovation disaster but the microwave works and the meals for that are really pretty excellent (also a good portion control mechanic), albeit sorely in need of salt+pepper+often cayenne. It's cheaper than DoorDash, and I keep not thinking about eating until after pretty much anything I can walk to is closed so it becomes DoorDash, McDonald's, or Freshly, and Freshly's stuff is a lot better. LanceHunter posted:CinemaRoberto is also a Boston townie, making him a resident of one of the most racist cities in the United States. FWIW, given the way Boston's changed over the time I've lived in Massachusetts, I'm not sure this is actually true anymore (though it definitely was when Bob was a kid). I moved out of Dorchester to south of the city, on the edge of the suburbs and where a lot of those townies got pushed out to, and it seems a lot worse here. tracecomplete fucked around with this message at 19:34 on May 4, 2022 |

That comment's insane. Like, regardless of if you think they dwelled on the joke too long OneyPlays always was pretty clear 'hey we actually like Linkara, don't go be freaks at him' but damned if this guy wasn't ready and amped to be an e-janissary in a war nobody is fighting.

Violet_Sky posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vWJE8k-Meo D&D and TTRPG gets mentioned as the earliest form of prehistory, then it skips right over things like LOTR (despite it being mentioned, it apparently doesn't qualify as geek culture), and also ignores things like Futurama (which unlike The Big Bang Theory, Community and other things the video brings up as geek culture, was exceptionally a product of geeks rather than something that was made for geeks). More notably though, to me at least, is how it completely misses things like HAM radio, computing throughout the 70s to late 80s/early 90s (basically before Eternal September), model trains (which is where the term 'hacking' comes from, as hacking is what model train enthusiasts do to trains when they, with an axe, hack a piece off the model to change its characteristics), and a whole grand collection of things too big to mention - I guess it can be argued that the video covers it by saying it won't cover it, but that introduces issues of its own. By not covering the counterculture-to-niche transition, the video misses out on the perspective that lets one see how reddit completely and utterly stole every single idea from digg (which in turn stole most of its ideas from fark and slashdot), how memes with impact fonts used to be called image macros and originated on this very site, that this style of forum is based on older forms of communities like BBS and usenet - all of which is to say that ultimately geek culture has always been built on what came before. It seems like the video is more about the niche-to-mainstream transition, as well as very explicitly about the the commodification of geek whereby geeks discovered that they collectively had enough purchasing power to surround themselves in their hobbies, and the capitalism doing its subsequent thing - but in doing so, not necessarily addressing how little this actually affects geek culture itself (which doesn't have anything to do with the amount of purchasing power geeks collectively have). Obviously Sarah and Emily know much more about newer internet culture with respect to things like tumbler than I do, since I basically disconnected from modern geek culture around the time it started showing even the smallest sign of becoming commodified - not necessarily out of a hipster notion, but more that I felt like my hobby shouldn't be a vehicle for companies to try and sell me poo poo. Ultimately, I think the video could've stood to gain a lot with what the video was so quick to throw out, as it would've better informed an analysis of what geek culture is, how capitalism commodified geek to a certain extend, and how geek culture itself is still very much exactly as it's always been.

Ah, I feel that. The entitled spirit of that type of guy can be totally felt, the kind of dude who hasn't actually put in the time or effort to understand what they're talking about but naturally assumes they're smarter than everyone around them. They're a very similar type of dumbass to the guy who has never put in the time or effort to understand anything they talk about but spews out their opinions anyway and refuses to ever learn anything and just wants to get into fights. The vapid nature of the geek stuff that moviebob loves combined with the idea that he's an intellectual for liking it does feel like he's a specific type of guy that you see in other places, but I still think he's weird rather than a usefully broad example.

Gaius Marius posted:The meal kit boxes drive me up the loving wall though. Just go to the loving grocery store. Don't bring up your Edge Casey bullshit, you know drat well they ain't targeted for the elderly or handicapped. While I agree the meal kits are probably vastly overpriced, there's a lot of times I would've loved to have all the ingredients pre-packaged for trying a new meal. Grocery store is perfect for most stuff, but I now have a cabinet full of cans of poo poo like fennel that I used a teaspoon of, once, for a single recipe then learned I don't like it but I can't bring myself to throw it out because that's Wasting Food and the ghosts of my grandparents will rise from their graves to haunt my sleep. Whose dick do I have to suck to get spices packaged in those little salt packs like at McDonalds?
