to be clear, i was joking. i've never watched those videos (i'm a cat person and i've got two that are keeping me quite busy right now) and i'm not gonna be a peta-style jerk about the pet hamsters being exploited or whatever. enjoy your hamster maze videos people, there's only so much joy we get these days

I think most of those hamster Takashi’s Castle obstacle courses are self-evidently fun for the hamsters. Vids by pet owners aren’t like all those reddit videos where a person rescues an animal on camera and it’s obvious they first put the animal there right before starting the recording.

putting a hamster in a maze for a little bit is fine and good exercise for the hamster, the issue is those cages with the maze just attached where the hamster wanders around a bit and gets lost when it just wants to go back to the actual nest with woodchips and take a nap or eat or w/e

ideally the cage and maze are separate, or theres a divider you can lower, or smth

I remember when Caleb Maupin was giddly pushing that "breadtube" was a Interpol/MI6/CIA-backed conspiracy because someone received some funding from a UK government charity for research they did on a video project. Coffin, being a pathetic lamprey, was latched onto Maupin at the time and happily boosting that poo poo.

Yeah and you can see it in the conspiracy theory from Coffin's discord which has an offhand mention to USAID.

sucks to be right
I've been watching Public Relations Section Chief Mr. Tamasuke the cat. It turns out he was "a troublesome manager who not only presses his favorite employee's arm with both front legs and forces him to work overtime, but also barks at him as if to ask him to take care of himself more."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_8HP3-49s

Unfortunately that was a violation of the Labor Standards Act so the authorities had to step in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXpd8ROVE8E

It then came to light that the manager had been accepting bribes from customers

Mr Tamasuke was perpwalked off to prison in disgrace

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
I have my own original idea - attention is the currency in the marketplace of ideas.

If somebody else said it, no, that's me. And even if I plagiarized it's a conspiracy by Nebula to not hire me it's not illegal, and you're the bully.

Join me on my next video "where is the DK64 charity money hbomb?" me and my dozens of friends, including somebody who works at H&R BLOCK will be calling you out because you didn't invite me.

and if you donate to my patreon, you're supporting real video creators, as I kick myself in the nuts on Steve Harvey's Big Time.

obviously /s, but to see coffin get really unhinged the last few years just makes me really sad, only because he's falling for the Content Creator curse of "throw anything to the wall and hope it sticks and becomes the thing I'm famous for", the hbomb stuff seems unhinged, and just gives the vibes of Quartering in desperation.

Anyway, what was the best reaction stream for The Game Awards? I need suggestions!

Coffin had definitely been chasing a bunch of trends before hitting on basic socialist analysis as the thing that worked slightly. Remember that music video about Bioshock Infinite? The sign of a pathological personality for sure, which is why an internet comedian ended up the pathetically divorced pal of Aleksandr Dugin hitting on teens over twitter messages.

I hate having biases because I like basically every game that has Arkham Asylum combat: Marvel's Spider-man, Shadow of Mordor/War, Mad Max, even that Captain America game looked fun. But then I look at Far Cry skinned Avatar and I'm like 'This couldn't be less appealing if they had tried!' and I feel guilty about it.

Like, I would happily play any game that played like pre-Dragon Engine Yakuza like 5, 0, and Kiwami 1, even if they're genres I'm not that into like fighting games; not interested in Street Fighter, but an open world Street Fighter with a simpler X,X,XX,YY combo is more my speed. Sorta like how there's a lot of Dynasty Warrior games across various series. Same with Ratchet and Clank; I'd love a Megaman game that played like that.

Man, shadow of war/mordor were the poo poo.

Didn't help that after Shadow of War they went radio silent and were probably being pulled to work on other poo poo like the Harry Potter game and Gotham Knights in the background for years. They announced a Wonder Woman game so ideally that would have room to use the nemesis system again?

Of course, Monolith is still not able to live up to the high bar they set with Shogo: Mobile Armor Division:

it's not literally impossible because patents protect a method not an idea - just the same way that nintendo patenting the d-pad didn't prevent everyone else from having d-pads on their controllers (though it did mean they were all worse)

the bigger reason nobody's done much with a nemesis system is it's a very expensive feature requiring a shitload of art and voice assets that a regular player might not even encounter during a single playthrough, so you better develop your entire game around it, and at that point the question is asked how the gently caress did you get publishing to sign off on a game that's gonna spend all that money on assets and not charge the player for them

I mean yes the 'languages' line is something I've heard well before youtube was even a thing which probably means before Sideways was born too, but other issues named are less specious. Going so strongly on that point isn't helping his overall perception even though he has much stronger complaints; ones legitimate enough for Neely to admit fault and guilt around.

For AC Odyssey the mechanic was just awkwardly stapled onto the game as another thing to do. It was a pure filler in a game full of filler.
