Patter Song posted:Nah, if it were proper Latin it'd be Teed-oose. Indeed, hence "trying". v  vIt's just that the comment just put me in mind of a guy I used to know, who insisted he was great at Latin but had the weirdest pronunciation. A DSP of classics, if you will. How do you guys feel about dubstep? If you're at least tolerant of it, this guy Fluxtrance does some really quite good Rollercoaster Tycoon series videos. He spends a lot of time on scenery and the results look fantastic. If you can't stand dubstep, he usually doesn't narrate his videos except at the beginning and end, so nothing much is lost from muting them.

Zedd posted:This is insane, in a good way. Not that familiar with the Anno community. The only guy I can think of that might fit your description is Nanosuit Ninja. He's got about 20 hours of Anno 2070 "Ironman" footage (not sure what that would mean), and he's working on a 1404 game now (albeit slowly).

I loved RCT3 and even used some custom stuff but this man is on another level.

For those who like his stuff, NsN is starting a Human Revolution Ironman run.

Clockwork Rocktapus posted:Who is NsN and what does it mean when he does an Ironman run of a game? Sorry, I ought to have explained. NsN stands for Nanosuit Ninja. Basically, he does one-life playthroughs of games: if he dies, he deletes the save and has to start from the beginning. It's a skill-based playthrough, so he's less concerned about showing off the game like in a traditional LP. If that's your thing, I recommend checking out his stuff. He plays the Crysis games on the hardest difficulty level and makes it look easy.

I haven't watch all of his stuff, but I haven't seen him die yet. On the other hand, I don't get the impression that he pre-records either. As far as I can tell, he's just really good (and lucky).

Polsy posted:(half the counter-arguments on that page are 'I'm not actually watching the video') Surely the obvious counter-argument is that viewers on low resolutions may not be able to read the text even if they pause the video? I personally find it very annoying if the LPer reads text out loud, but I figure I'd find it more annoying if I couldn't know what was going on because I had lovely internet.

Dias posted:Alternatively, the British Empire enslaved and "colonized" a bunch of countries around the world for the longest time, so are you that surprised that people associate your accent with evilness? It's not like I personally care either way, but surely by that logic, everyone would be casting Turks as villains all the time. I always assumed it was something to do with the perception of sophistication. Someone told me it was a result of all those WW2 movies having the Germans acted by British actors (or speaking with British accents) to differentiate them from the Allies, who spoke with American accents, but since I haven't watched many war movies, I have no idea if this is true or not. v v

I think you guys are reading a little too much into what sounds like an offhand remark. What he said could just as easily apply to people playing video games instead of watching them.  Didn't he make a mini video essay a while back when BBC Newsnight put out that super-patronising report on Twitch? It's not like it's the first time he's done this.

Jamesman posted:He's saying that you wouldn't DARE to think of a predominantly Asian country being forced to assimilate to white culture, yet here in White America, we're being asked to assimilate and submitting without a fight! HOW WEIRD IS THAT?! I think, on the Right, there is a perception that there is a double standard at play. Certainly on places like Twitter, there are plenty of comments that XYZ is "too white" or has "too many white people", and if that's your environment, and impression of the Left, you're going to start projecting that onto news articles and other mainstream opinions. Anyway, I think the main disconnect going on is that the Left sees race as... well... genetics, but the Right quite often uses and sees race as a shorthand to culture, which is what it's principally concerned with. Nine times out of ten, when someone on the Right criticises Muslims, what they really object to is the culture that is spreading through the Middle East. What's more, the further from the centre you go, the more likely you are to see people who think race and culture are inextricably linked, which is literally why white supremacists are still a thing--whites built the entire Western world so why wouldn't they be the best race? (Although I think some white supremacists think Asians are even better, given the Asian nations' astonishing pace of industrialisation.) The Left's problem is that it projects white supremacist thought patterns onto the moderate Right. I get it--being outraged about something literally gives you a dopamine rush, but it's extremely unhelpful for actual cogent political debate. The Right, for its part, needs to stop using such sloppy rhetoric and stop assuming that everyone knows what they mean and that the Left is just disingenuous. Since we're talking about Steve King, note that when asked to walk his statement back, he doubled down, but did make it clear he was talking about culture, not race/genetics. Sorry if this post is boring, but I'm getting a bit sick of seeing everyone getting called a white supremacist, since it cheapens the term and makes it less powerful.
