It took me a moment to realize the two Zelda articles are by the same person too lmao. Have a backbone and commit to your opinions. Polygon is such a poo poo site.

If I remember, the actual text of the article is against NFTs. The headline is completely sincere.

yeah the actual article is very much in the "if we didn't make fun of scummy ideas we'd be up to our necks in wildly-predatory monetization schemes" camp.

And I recall how some of those discs had an archive of their reviews. Not the full reviews, just the pros/cons summary at the end + the score, but that was still pretty quaint for the time.

I just watch their videos occasionally. They lost a lot of draw when the McElroys left, and even more when BDG did, but their boardgame sessions are pretty alright.

https://twitter.com/JUNlPER/status/1633303821412646912 lol at everything about Mr. Beast. How did he even get this much money to be making novelty chocolates and burgers from playing Minecraft anyway? It seems like a really boring game to stream since all you do is stack blocks.

Whirling posted:https://twitter.com/JUNlPER/status/1633303821412646912 I'm sure he makes bajillions from his gaming channels, but he built his audience on giving away shitloads of money to strangers and friends on YouTube for views. I don't really care either way about him, as it's not just "Mr Beast" but more "The Corporation Formerly Known As Mr Beast", but he at least has kept his giveaway shenanigans local to his North Carolina hometown and also runs several local food pantries, so you can do FAR worse when it comes to influencers.
