Stegosaurus is the best dinosaur and nothing anyone says can convince me otherwise.

This is objective fact and the fact that I had a toy one I took everywhere in no way influences this opinion.

Also the modern day Stegosaurus looks rad as hell and not like the hideous frankensaurus made out of a dozen different fossil beds that it was presented as for a century.

I feel like I should know this, but is that thing on the end of a stegosaurus tail actually called the thagomizer, I presume in tribute to one of the greatest newspaper cartoons of all time?

You should also check out RetroBytes, all-around lovely guy and computer collector who does plenty of very good tech history related videos, usually with a little bit of tinkering around.

I can’t recommend RetroBytes enough. That guy has a really wonderful style of delivery and talks about stuff at a level of detail where I occasionally learn stuff even though I often know the overarching story. I’m glad you called him “lovely” because I’m always worried about old nerds being garbage, but the way he covered Sophie Wilson and ARM made it seem like he probably wasn’t a chud.

Oh yes, he's very good people indeed. He (as well as all the other folk in my post) are well away from chudsville.

I'm kinda (very) late to the party but I've been on a little bit of a ContraPoints kick and watching a couple of her later vids that I hadn't seen yet. The Hunger was pretty harrowing by the end, I must say. Envy might just be her best, though -- just a nice big load of information and insight presented in her...well, enviable way I guess. I'm not much of a Philosophy person at all and yet it just feels so easy to get on her wavelength, and so easy to follow? I mean, I suppose it's not bad work for a make-up vlogger. I should get around to watching some of her tangent videos as well. Perhaps the 2nd Joanne one too although I have to be honest that by now just the mention of her name makes me extremely tired and irritable.

I find it hilarious Mortismal has a super edgey avatar with an angry skull, while he's just a boring dude who never swears or mentions anything political. He does one video a day, but I only pay attention to his reviews where he gets a platinum on a game that only just released. Not to eat my words, but he's too boring to be a chud or a plagiarist.

Mortismal is just a pretty benign rtwp open world rpg fan boy. Honestly a pretty good resource for that genre because it seems like he's aware of every single game in that field and is pretty sober in his reviews of them.

Jenny seems to for lack of better term trigger a certain bunch of people in general. A quirky nerdy young woman that disagrees with certain opinions and legitimately does not care about it / greater nerd culture just seems like a betrayal to them. Jenny meanwhile just moves on to her next fun thing, the church plays, the themeparks, other movies she likes.

Jenny is the only internet persona where people will make up reasons to be mad at her, it's bizarre. And I don't mean that in an inane lol looks like this touched a nerve sort of way, there's that incident where someone was doctoring her tweets to look racist, and I've seen people wholeheartedly tell me that she went on a racist tirade on stream or called John Boyega a slur when there's no evidence of this. So what comes first, do you hate someone and decide they must be a secret racist to justify it, or do you come to the conclusion that someone is a secret racist and hate them for it?

The closest thing I've found to concrete proof is people being angry that she called Finn from Star Wars a janitor, but if it's racist to make the black guy a janitor, then blame Disney, because canonically he IS a janitor ("sanitation department")

He's the only non-resetera person I have ever seen to say anything good about Forspoken. Even if the extent of his endorsement was that he liked the earth stuff pre-fantasy world, and to maybe get it on sale for 15 dollars or less.
