I appreciate him being intensely based and showing that XPlay video of how incredibly racist games journalism was when it comes to JRPGs for some reason.

Hint: The Great Replacemet conspiracy theory's been around for a while

Assuming you mean a video demonstrating Xplay's anti-Japanese bent, I'm guessing this one.

Also, from my perspective, I was watching a compilation of some of his React Andy 'send me videos for a stream' thing with Paige so I do not know what stream that was. It was the one where we learned that Pat never learned the Mimicry skill so everyone sounds like him in his head.

Oh Woolie's going to be playing FF9?

I watched Vinny play that one awhile back and it really won me over.

Mostly doing direct to streaming generic action thrillers now.

People seem to have stopped giving him licenses. Video game movies actually being successful as big ticket productions might have made his schtick less attract to publishers.

iirc there was also the closing of the German tax loophole that was the backbone of his whole career.

Eh, Pat looking for an excuse to dunk on some thing he has a grudge against is pretty tiresome. That excuse being someone who passed away is pretty lame.

I simply can’t believe Pat would do this. I thought I could trust him. But now? I don’t know. This is a bridge too far and someone must answer for this.

It was a stupid and ill-advised joke but, considering what passed as acceptable behaviour in regards to the recently departed in some of those places, a lot the people having one absolutely do not have a leg to stand on.
Besides, it was a mite of the whole conversation, which Woolie dutifully had the joke woosh over his head anyway.

It's not a story. I dont think anyone is saying Pat should be canceled for it or whatever, but like "oh wow Pat did a hot take" or people being put off by Pat is really not anything new. This thread itself has frequently complained about Pat being abrasive.

I think for some people it came off as particularly insensitive cause they just had a weekend absorbing stories about how Lance loved Destiny, seeing people hold vigil, etc.

Like if Pat popped on the podcast after Miura passed away and was like "Wow man would rather die then finish Berserk" you'd probably have people similarly reacting negatively.

hilariously incorrect



Pretty much everyone darkly predicted he'd die before Berserk got finished--that it happened way earlier than anyone thought was a surprise, but the sentiment had been around for over a decade

Yeah, no. Saying that a beloved actor who tragically died young died because he's in a video game Pat doesn't like isn't just a bad joke, it's deliberately inflammatory and offensive in addtion to being a bad joke. That's a thing you say if and only if you are purposefully trying to offend people that are grieving.

I think I'm gonna be taking a break from Pat's content for a while.

I feel like there's a difference between "This dude will probably not finish this before he passes" predictively and "they chose to die rather then finish their work" immediately following their passing.

That said, I could absolutely see Pat making the joke that "GRRM would rather die then finish Song and Fire" both before and after.

Don't worry about it.
The podcast episode opened up with a very long segment about how they were both upset by Lance Reddick dying and talking about how he's the GOAT and they'll miss him. Near the end Pat talks about how Lance was a big fan of Destiny and that's why he's in it and people were convening around his in-game character as a memorial to him. Then he stumbled through a half-joke about how maybe Lance decided he was tired of playing Destiny 2, which Woolie didn't even parse as a joke or possibly a coherent sentence. That's the extent of what happened.

He has done this repeatedly and recently, yes. As in like last week's podcast episode recently.

I listened to the episode and they spend a looooobg tike talking about how it sucks how he's gone and how good and cool he was and Pat makes the limpest dark joke they've made on the pod in a month and THAT was your line? The jokes about beating kids or basically anything related to an episode title wasn't too far?

I can't believe Pat spent 17 hours of the 5 hour podcast episode calling Lance Reddick worse than Margaret Thatcher or Justin Trudeau's blackface history. This is completely out of line and I will not accept any video evidence that refutes my secondhand reddit info
