He definitely seems like he’s in a mode of “working for a huge media company hosed me up a lot and I need to rebuild a life that isn’t miserable.”

Yeah Jeff was very clearly checked out of Giant Bomb for at least the past year, I do so little gaming these days (at least current gen stuff) that I should probably just cut myself off from the entire Giant Bomb Extended Universe but I'm happy for him getting a much-needed change of pace.

If his pod eventually turns into games news chat, maybe interviewing people like he used to do at E3, then I could be talked into dipping back in.

For some reason I have trouble following the latest two TrueAnon episodes. Like I'll be listening and suddenly realize that I have no idea what's going on beyond covering a series of hosed up people.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

haven’t finished the devo ep yet but if your introduction to real politics was two of your friends getting shot to death by the nat guard and then you had to watch the Reagan, Clinton, and bush eras unfold fully aware of what that means, lusting for nuclear fire seems like a reasonable response

same and i can't say i really give a poo poo about utah sex cultists though it does sound hosed up (utah is a hosed up state in general, holy hell. though if you're ever in Orem/Provo, Lagoon A Beach is legit great amusement-waterpark combo park, moab area is fun, and the national parks are cool as hell)

trads are just doing the lapsed Catholic speedrun. The end result of both is apparently refusing the Eucharist because you don't believe it is the literal body of Christ. For completely different reasons, but it's the same outcome.

There's obviously an interesting story there, but it seems like the sort of thing that's easier to follow in a written medium with accompanying images and stuff. Like Brace/Liz did research on this and were like "this is loving insane, let's discuss it on the pod," but it's much harder to follow if you're just listening to people speak and have zero preexisting awareness of all the characters involved.

Yeah, seems this way to me too. they obviously anticipated this with their little disclaimers that it would be confusing... they weren't wrong. it's a crazy story but very hard to follow

Enjoyed the latest Tech Won't Save Us ep but also laughed every time they took a beat to talk about what shows they liked and disliked, lol. Just goes to show how deep streaming culture is rooted in all of our heads! Gita's point about Disney (specifically Marvel I think they said) only putting out content to hype up the next piece of content is dead on though, and reminds me of a complaint I saw elsewhere on the forums that Disney has gone from being a company that makes entertainment to one that makes content. Gotta keep people engaged first and foremost, though they aren't the only ones guilty of it.

The thing I did not agree with was the led vision stuff in the Star Wars shows. He said that there was something about it that stood out making it feel like something was off and the guest talked about it being something to do with the workers doing the VFX. Probably some truth to that, but the easier explanation is that you still have the physical size off the led vision wall (same as a green screen) making the camera moves, in effect, the same as what you can physically do with a green screen.

These shows feel cramped to me, they just feel off.

yeah. i mean i guess it was fairly good looking in batman and is an improvement over green screens, though isn't as good as actual sets or locations.
