Nuns with Guns posted:I think Woolie harmlessly bumbling through something is fun and funny. Seeing him encounter Dungeons & Dragons-isms for the first time outside of reading Dragonlance novels amuses me. Pat I find more befuddling. I've only watched up through the first 3 or 4 sessions of Pat's BG3 stream, but him never positioning party members properly so that Astarion can sneak attack or popping Karlach's rage after she's attacked is more Yeah, I watch Pat's BG3 stuff on YouTube and fast-forward a lot. There's a lot of him min-maxing stuff, organizing his inventory/wheels/etc, and after a few of those I just started skipping anything I wasn't explicitly interested in seeing. I'm in the middle of part 4 and he's starting to realize how to use Astarion I think, he did it right once or twice and then said he's not sure about taking him off the main party anymore. He also tried to attack friendlies recently similar to Woolie so that was amusing; pro-tip: the map shows if people are hostile (red dots) or not (yellow).

A good poster posted:Is there a term for releasing a podcast that misses discussion on a news event that happens after an episode is recorded but before it's posted? I think it happened to CSB on the Babylon's Fall cancellation. It turns out to be for the best that they skipped the podcast this week, as they would've missed Unity causing an uproar across huge swaths of the game industry with their new retroactive install charges. Sure, they don't have the sort of insight into the situation that a game developer would have, but this could potentially jeopardize Silksong's release, and that's probably enough to make pat pitch a fit.

I just got the clip of Woolie and Reggie's bidet discussion in my recommends and I am amused at how completely confident Woolie seems to be that bidets only exist in their modern form, like they haven't been around in various permutations for more than two centuries.

I am really, really interested for how the situation will develop by next podcast. It sounds like they're already vagueing a backdown, and I would not be shocked if they completely back down once they're legally attacked by big publishers that have used Unity (Nintendo, Microsoft, Epic, Square, Tencent) hear how much Unity wants to charge them.

I have deliberately not looked at the couple of shared I bought in the company back when they had their IPO. I was already taking a bath there so whatever but I'd rather not know how much deeper the proverbial tub got after this.

At this point, even if they do a complete backdown, no one's going to trust them enough to use their engine over other available options ever again after this. They've essentially old yeller'd their whole product for absolutely no reason.

Okay, Woolie's BG3 episode today is insanely nothing, like, wow. They loot, start leveling up, game crashes, they redo that, and that's 40 minutes gone. I also finished part 4 of Pat's run and another thing he keeps doing is just letting party members die. Like they'll still be doing saving rolls, he'll end combat, and not pick them up.

He's been fighting people on twitter about how he hates edgerunners since it's boring and not how trigger shows are supposed to be for a couple days now. That it morphed into "he hates coming of age stories, oh but also those things I like aren't coming of age stories" is not the swerve I was expecting

He means that it's not the primary focus of those things. He's loving wrong of course. You could make a version of the Gundam shooting "war is bad" (or whatever) over the guys head out of this pretty easily by replacing it with Pat and an EVA.

I've got to hand it to Woolie for at least trying to steer the conversation this week away from Pat's crazy OCD takes. I honestly don't know at this point if Pat just plays dumb to be inflammatory or if he's just out of his mind.

When Pat does his schtick and you can agree with him, it's pretty entertaining. It can be obnoxious when you disagree with what he's trying to say.

What's his issue with Edgerunners? The last time I checked in on their opinions wrt the show was months back when they did the joke about how the show "gaslights you with quality." but even then Pat seemed overall positive on it. I really shouldn't look for logic, should I?

It starts out too slow focusing on character work and set up and then all the actions later in the show. Which is apparently a failing and not the show trying to make the shift where things get hosed up and serious feel as frantic and terrifying as possible. Cause it's a cyberpunk thing, why is it doing all that stuff in the first half???

The show literally starts with a cyberspycho mass shooting that both establishes how hosed the world is and kicks off the main plot in how it ties back to David, takes two episodes to establish the leads and then by episode 3 the already steady stream of violence hits the gas when David takes his first gig with Maine's crew. How fast do you need things to go, Pat? Start off with David as a psybersycho edgerunner? I already felt they were speedrunning (in a good way, imo) David's descent into desperation with how quickly his life falls apart when he loses his mom.

worth noting that he caved https://twitter.com/PatStaresAt/status/1704324674644214007?s=20 https://twitter.com/SwampKingCool/status/1704326318077473274?s=20 https://twitter.com/PatStaresAt/status/1704326696147812478?s=20 I would note that, while he IS being crazy about the Coming Of Age thing, he's absolutely right that Edgerunners is really cliche cyberpunk and that Lucy is loving lame. I don't dislike it as much as he does (or like every other Imaishi project like he does), and it's really pretty, but there's not a lot to chew on.

Thank god for timestamps, I'm skipping past all that after hearing some of it on the Twitch stream. Even Pat's food analogy irritated the hell out of me. I got no opinion on Edgerunners since I haven't bothered watching it, though something tells me he wouldn't like Gridman either.

I feel like the podcast would be better if Woolie could just tell Pat the shut up and drop a topic once a week. We could have been saved 1 hour of Pat saying "I don't like thing. Thing should just be exactly like I like" over and over for more and more insane examples.

On the upside, I've always avoided Darkest Dungeon 2 because I didn't want to gently caress around with the wagon stuff and had some reservations about it, but I think Woolie has sold me on finally checking it out. That last boss encounter sounds incredible.

Woolie doesn't get along with chat as much as Pat so I think it checks out. On YouTube Woolie has 100k more subscribers than Pat, although I don't know if that evens it out.

Pat's primarily on Twitch and his youtube channel is basically just a place to dump VODs. Woolie's channel has basically been frozen at 190k subs for some time now and the Vs Algorithm doesn't seem to be doing well either.
