I watch all my media at 0.5 speed. Double the amount of entertainment plus everyone sounds super drunk for a little bonus comedy.

nintendo released a version of the original mario that runs at 2x, and it was pretty funny watching a guy trying to speedrun it, but with the video slowed down to 0.5x so the game was going at normal speed but he looked super drunk

It’s not quite the same as consuming media at high speed but maybe worse: one time I watched a guy a row ahead of me on a transatlantic flight go through roughly half a dozen movies on the in flight entertainment and briefly read the description of each before watching 5-15 minutes toward the end/climax of it and switching movies.

I watched a mate play Alan Wake and he skipped all the plot, and it was the second-most infuriating thing I'd ever seen.

I'm assuming most folks are aware, but in case someone isn't, Josh Sawyer (director of Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity and Pentiment) is a goon. I have yet to play Pentiment, but there's a bunch of SA references in the other two, including appearances by Zybourne Clock hero Johnny Five-Aces.

Didn't MisterBibs yell at him directly about the "there are monster spawns between the starting area and where this mod puts a house, and this is somehow the original game devs' fault" thing, or did I make that up

Looks like he just sucked at the game. I think everyone went for the shortest route their first time around because why wouldn't they? You just, you know, RUN.

mr. bibs died so much in world of warcraft that he needed multiple characters that existed just to fund his main character because his gear kept breaking from dying all the time

Never heard the misterbibs lore but just from those posts he just sounds like a guy who thinks the point of games is to finish them as quickly as possible and anything that stops that (like say fighting enemies that don't die in one hit) is a failure of design. Many such guys

I mean, I instinctively went the long way around. The Strip was obviously gonna be the centerpiece of the setting, I'm gonna have a generous sampling of the appetizers before I take on the main course, see some sights, drink in the myth before I see it for myself. Discovering that that's actually optional and you can skip the big journey if you have the gumption only enriches the experience in my book.

i can't recall the name, but he was famously way too online for picking a fight with the debatebro streamer Destiny (who is his own can of worms) and that he had to quit twitter or something because his wife was mad at him for spending too much time on the internet fighting people. He had a somethingawful account and was sending angry debate-me messages to other people in cspam/d&d, including Pick, who assumed that he was the same person sending her a lot of sexually-based harassment messages. She went to QCS to bring this up and there was a bunch of back and forth, leading to him also appearing but it was finally determined Pick was mistaken. Celebrating his victory over Pick he wrote a bunch of posts on how legally correct he was in his harassment of Pick in other ways, which ultimately led to him being permabanned

ahh yeah that was the 2016 lover aka jack allison (i'm not doxxing the guy that was his account name, the 2016 lover was a rereg but he was pretty open about being the same guy), i'd heard him on a few podcasts prior to the stuff on here and he seemed reasonably normal on them so it was strange to see him go completely insane over politics posting

2x is for background youtube vids and podcasts, 1.75x or slower if it's something you're actually interested in. TV shows are 1.5x tops. Mid movies - 1.25x. Good movies - normal speed, big screen.

The only thing you should fast forward is extremely slow paced old RPGs on emulator. I know the music is good but I'm not grinding those sewers in search of a 5% drop without upping the speed sorry

Also you need to beeline for the strip to make lots of money and buy implants so that by the end of the game you can have 10 in every stat and 100 in every skill

I remember getting together with some friends to watch South Park in like 2011 and the host of the group unbeknownst to us watches everything at 1.5 speed and it was baffling how much it ruined any comedic timing there was and we all looked at him like he was crazy midway through the episode lol.
