I think he hit his limit. Cringe hits some people real hard. I think he's said on the podcast he never finished Foam Adventure.

To be fair to Woolie, most of the dialogue is not good and just cringe

It's fine, and he shouldn't just randomly skip dialogue regardless.

Lol why? If the story isn't what you play the game for you don't have to force yourself to watch it. I don't pay attention to the game but literally every post about it is how poo poo the story is

Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

It's kinda bad etiquette when you're LPing/streaming something though. You're not just playing it for yourself but also for the audience. Depending on how much he's skipping it can really kill it for a viewer.

Look, woolie is one of the most "for the good of the stream" lp'ers I know, if he can't tough it out it's gotta be bad. Go watch someone else's stream if you just GOT to get that sick lore, if you can find one that isn't also skipping it. If you just want to watch him react to how bad it is, tough poo poo

If I had to sit through woolie pausing every lp for 40 mins to stand still and misinterpret the most basic plot beats in every game even when he's not the one playing he can sit through 20 seconds of dialogue.

To be clear I think Neon White's writing is cringe and would skip a lot of it, I'm just saying I can see why others would complain. Having not watched his stream of it I'm not sure how bad it is, like if it's all of it, just certain characters, or what.

Also Woolie used to be really bad about this kinda poo poo, talking over cutscenes with Liam for stuff with no subtitles and such, although I doubt he's slipping, it's just this game is extra trying.

That poo poo (along with the ten-minute caps on episode lengths) is what killed Game Grumps early on for me.

No fuckin' duh you're not going to know what the hell you're doing if you're ignoring everything the game is telling you! :argh:

I can put that aside to watch Arin rage and it being his own drat fault. Makes it more cathartic.

It's a lot better without the 10 minute caps and they're a little bit better about doing tutorials or looking poo poo up.

Arin can still be poo poo at things though, recently he forgot about a bullet time mechanic in a game that relied on it and he might've been having a loving stroke for the first bit of Pigsaw or whatever that thing was called.

At least Pat and Woolie are generally decent at the games they play on average. Maybe.

I must admit, the idea that Woolie is "for the good of the stream" is fascinating, because my experience is that he's stubborn enough to do everything he can backwards regardless of what the stream is asking for.

I don't think it's 'for the good of the stream' and that it never has been. it's his OCD trying to be thorough so he gets yelled at as little as possible over very specific things he doesn't want to get yelled at over

Yeah, I get the same thing sometimes. I end up editing most of my posts because I get brainworms. But lately with games, I've been running into the issue of the gameplay being fun while the story is not only awful but obtrusive to my enjoyment of the game. So if skipping the cringe Neon White dialogue lets Woolie enjoy the game while not doing Arin poo poo, do it.

It's mentioned the reason for this is pretty simple. The Baterians are very Isolationist and don't leave their world with the exception of their criminal ands outcasts. So the only Baterians we are meeting are the criminals.

Yeah, but it starts to feel almost like a failing of the game to give the Baterians any sympathetic angles, while it manages to give nuance to just about every other race.

Like, you'd think you'd have maybe a little colony of separatists or find one in one of the cities who are like "yeahh we don't like that whole caste system poo poo.."

Yeah lets be clear, the reason the Batarian Hegemony is not part of the Council Races is because they refuse to abandon the practice of slavery as they consider it a "cultural touchstone".
