nine-gear crow posted:Shad seems like such a weird dumb motherfucking weirdo dumb poo poo that I legitimately strain to imagine how he cultivated an audience in the first place before we went mask off bigot chud shithead. IIRC, even before he went full mask off, nearly every time he tried to do a video on the actual history of weapons, Matt Easton from the youtube channel ScholaGladiatoria would put a correction of some kind because, guess what, he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to history. Surprising.

MrQueasy posted:yeah, it's not really that I felt betrayed, more like I got fooled by the exact same scam after thinking I had learned from the last time Unfortunately it's a game of constant vigilance these days because people are more and more willing to either just let the mask slip or just randomly pivot into chudhood out of nowhere if they they think they can make bank off of it. The good news though is that these pubes tell on themselves constantly and loudly. So you can usually that a guy who makes YouTube thumbnails that look like this:  probably has unfortunate views on a lot of things polite society would go "Dude, what the gently caress is WRONG with you?" at if said aloud in, say, like the order line at a Subway restaurant or at the bus stop.

I think it was someone in one iteration of this thread years ago was like "Oh wow, Shadiversity's a huge loving racist apparently" I think my response, posted or not was something like "Never heard of that guy before, but he sure picked an unfortunate screen name for that one..."

Just stick to Matt Easton or Skallagrim. Matt is great for educational videos on swordsmanship and Skall has a good mix of goofy videos and blade tests and reviews.

I enjoyed the points in the promo videos that caught random bystanders looking down at them with clear expressions of "what in god's name are those people wearing on their feet" the reveal of how noisy the things are made it even better

The setting and concepts in it were pretty interesting and original, but the writing itself was meh and for some reason there was a lot of time focused on rape and sexual violence.

When it came out that Channel Awesome's leadership were abusing and exploiting their talent, and, among other things, straight up protected a known child molester in their midst, Brad was the one dude out of Channel Awesome's at that point close to 50 member talent pool who stuck by Doug, Rob and Mike Michaud and went "these are my guys, I stand with them". Even though it cost him basically all of his professional and personal friendships. Like there's a reason why people like Alison Pregler, Phelous, and Linkara just stopped collaborating with him cold turkey around May 2018...

Don't forget this was compounded by being years after most people mourning JewWario's suicide, with several CA members having tributes to him in their videos (eg; Bennet had a Wario hat on his background shelf for a long stretch of Anime Abandon), fully unaware he was a child molester and never so much as discreetly informed by CA's leadership in the time following his death.

Yeah lol you can tell the moment when Bennett found out JewWario was a sexual predator because that Wario hat just loving disappears from the background of his set like it got loving Thanos snapped between Anime Abandon episodes.

My hobbies of weightlifting, hunting/bushcrafting and gaming makes it just so loving tiring to find new channels while weeding out the lunatics. And even when you find one, at any second they can just go all in on the chud crap. If Steve Wallis ever turns out to be right wing I may just give up on the internet altogether.

The key difference being that they didn't call it "Early Access" but a full release, so they were judged by the standards of a full release at the time. Baldur's Gate 3 kind of shows that you can just skip past that and have your "release" several years later and you will instead be hailed for publishing a working, polished product.

More like the the game from patch 1.5 onwards put it in a playable state for the majority of users to the point where they could enjoy the parts of the game that were goof from day one, mainly the writing and acting. It's easier to appreciate what was always good when the poo poo surrounding it gets fixed.

Alaois posted:Oh you havent heard about Acts 2 and 3 of BG3 yet huh 2's not bad, but 3 is where the wheels come the gently caress off. It's the feeling of having to stick another adventure onto the campaign but this one isn't nearly as good as the first one. Which isn't a surprise for Larian, honestly. I don't think I've ever played a game from them that didn't fall apart near the end, even when the whole thing was building to it like OS2. Still by far their best work and I'd love an Icewind Dale by them, but it's not a surprise.

That's a tried and true Larian tradition. Except Fort Joy was not that good while Act 1 of BG3 was super great. At least Act 3 in BG3 felt more incomplete than outright trash, like Original Sin 2's.

To be fair having a last act suddenly drop in quality isn't uncommon in CRPGs at all. But the wierd story turns and the fact that you can clearly see traces of content that ended up being cut in Act 3 really undermines a lot of the good the game does.

I was feeling fatigued but generally okay about it right up until it went and pulled a Fallout 3 style bullshit forced choice right at the end. In fact it was arguably worse than FO3 because that game was at least consistently railroad-y throughout its main quest but BG3 had previously been all about telling your own story and finding alternative solutions to problems.
