Kunster posted:My favourite dumb thing about FriendlyJeordies is how months before the firebombing and threats started happening, one of his bigger tussles involved his appearance on a podcast where he talked about the treatment of Uyghur in China, and now because his audience (And Tucker Carlson) are mostly people who pratically want to start a war with China once every few months, he can't actually elaborate on what he said knowing that the same people that poo poo their pants about John Cena selling LaoGanMa or Disney filiming there once would have his head in a pike if he much as said "The PRC treatment of them wasn't as bad as western press would have you believe." lol, sorry I don't think he is actually in a position to find out about an ongoing genocide. He can find out stuff in Australlia because its a democracy with things like freedom of the press/speech.

theres some accusations of being a sexpest floating around like him finding some random girl, hitting on her, told her to pretend to be his girlfriend and wouldnt let her call her actual boyfriend so he could show her off to all his random youtuber friends like 'ayyyy' weird dude unfortunately because he didnt literally kill her everyone just called her a bitch and she deleted the posts and now gets to deal with harassment about it for the rest of her life

All of the friends I know who live in Australia are in WA, which is apparently pretty chill thanks to being labor-aligned and separated from the rest of the country by vast tracks of absolutely loving nothing. Definitely get the sense that if I ever find myself in Australia I'm just gonna go to Perth and then maybe road trip down the southern coast and enjoy the beaches/parks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGsLvlzvwQk Really enjoying Blue Bidya Game's PS1 series, I think it usually strikes a nice balance between "background info on the game's topic/developer" and the game itself. Good companion to our very own RndStranger's "all games from a platform" series, I'm still only up to 256 on the Famidaily playlist but loving it! Though with Blue Bidya putting the videos out roughly one per month it's going to take a bit longer... Anyway, both channels/series are criminally underrated/viewed.

Never playing Neil Druckmann's Zionist game Escape the cycle of violence Says the zionist perpetuating it I haven't watched Angry Joe in years. But it seems he hasn't been in other controversies other than last of us 2 and that sexual harassment thing that didn't seem to get much traction. I haven't seem him retract saying gamergate bad so that's good.

Man, why is it every time action game developers try to be artsy or high minded, they just always fall back on "Force the players to do specific actions to progress the game, then make them feel bad for the actions you gave them no agency in deciding?"

Because they're insidiously assuming the form of movies like a mimic. How many horror movies have you seen where someone in the theater screams 'Oh no don't go in there!'? Anakin no, don't trust Palpatine, he's evil! Frodo no, don't listen to Gollum, he's the personality who only tells lies!

MrBtongue pointed out that games ape movies by trying to be "cinematic" because they're desperate for mainstream acceptance as prestige art like 15 years ago in some lovely, low effort, RLM Plinkett-rear end copycat video and guess what he was he 100% right and continues to be right to this day.

I hated the entire last level of TLOU1 and thought it sucked poo poo that my only choice as a Gamer was kill the only remaining apocalypse doctors in the world or stop playing the game forever. But at least Joel's lie at the end was setting up for a sequel where Lie Is Revealed And Plot Happen. Except then the whole plot of 2 just came from killing all the doctors and Joel's lie is barely of any consequence so.... lol plus it sucked how many times I carefully snuck through an area only for Ellie to do a big fart or clatter over a load of pans or delboy through a bar in a cutscene and get caught.

IMO not every video game has to be a Your Choices Matter video game. Having two buttons labeled Save Ellie/Kill Ellie wouldn't have improved anything about the ending.

I think using an interactive medium to get a player closer to the emotions a character is experiencing is a different thing than developers morally judging the player. One of the strongest moments in MGS3 is exactly what you described. I initially dismissed TLoU 2 as the "ooooo violence bad" thing but I genuinely think it does some good work alienating the player from the protagonist and using that to sell its message. Where I think it fucks up is that the third act falls flat and the Israel/Palestine metaphor comes from someone trying to be equivocal but reveals a lot of underlying zionism in how that Not Palestinians are still a bunch of backward savages with no real culture

I actually don't think a lack of choice is particularly bad. Yeah Joel's a bastard, and Ellie fails to grow beyond the evil of her adopted dad. That's a normal rear end story. It's just a game that demands you take very seriously some very silly situations that really threw me out of the loop. Specifically in creating huge hordes of bastards you could guiltlessly murder between each story segment. You'd think the zombies would render that unneeded, but no the earth just generates mindless murderers at a similar rate to Payday generating cops from the aether.

mycot posted:IMO not every video game has to be a Your Choices Matter video game. Having two buttons labeled Save Ellie/Kill Ellie wouldn't have improved anything about the ending. Some of my favourite game stories are no-choice stories. The problem I had with tlou1 was how much of the story I disliked for being cliched and obvious, how little I was interested in Joel's extremely obvious arc, and how it did not feel like it justified any of his actions at the end. Which just amplifies how little choice you have - by making me play to a script I thought was dumb as hell by the end, but still had to do 3 more hours of doctor killing just so I could see if there was anything worthwhile beyond that. And even though I hated it, I at least thought the lie was an interesting direction to take a sequel, and fully expected the sequel to... do something with that kernel. But then it just kills joel 10 minutes in, and ellie just shrugs off the lie really quickly after she finds out? i don't even remember, it was so inconsequential graphics were good tho

One of the strongest moments in MGS3 is exactly what you described. To be fair regarding the I/P metaphor, the “Israel” side does gets mercilessly murked because they’re too murderhungry and they 100% have it coming.

I actually like the absolute shittiness of TLOU humanity. Zombies more or less being a solved problem within ~20 years and wars returning to normal human vs human conflicts is more sensible than "oh no I left the gate open" forever
