If they wanted to do that they'd fire Yahtzee. Until then they'll have enough site traffic to keep themselves afloat, though yeah, losing the two other big names that draw in traffic isn't painting a rosy picture for the site's future. What else do they have, Unskippable?

Yeah, those are fair points and I was being a bit too harsh It just does get tiresome at points to see SuperMechaGodzilla-ish posts about films sometimes.

It's not very good parody if you have to pretend I'm saying something else, instead of simple facts. Try talking about my farts, that'll be more effective.

Goddamn, I'm glad the anime I latched onto in High School was .hack//SIGN. That one is alright, right? I mean, I'm pretty sure the worst thing to come out of that was a couple of grindy, dull video games.

I don't think most people are really passionate about political ideologies. They're broadly content with the status quo, just so long as they don't think it's actively harming them and correlates to a nebulous idea of common sense. This is something that people who are, or people who live in the proverbial bubble, don't really understand or like. It's as Khrushchev is meant to have told Chairman Mao, "If you offer a worker a choice between revolution and a bowl of soup, he will always choose soup."

On the other hand, no compromise with the electorate, amirite?

As for South Park, I believe Trey Parker spelled out their position as, "I hate conservatives but I loving hate liberals," which is one I'm increasingly in sympathy with lately.

I mean, on one side, we have the DUP; on the other, we have Sinn Fein. I think the answer probably does lie somewhere in the middle there.

The fact that his patreon has not lowered faster boggles my mind. There seems to be a set of enablers that will not let him hit rock bottom.

How do you even review that? I do not envy him.

I take it he must only be doing the first act or something.

My problem with the video is that it feels really toothless, as if Yahtzee’s gone out of his way to avoid saying anything that’ll piss of the shitlords too much, hence four minutes of gameplay complaints, capped off with one minute of “both sides are wrong” spiel. Its bad criticism, and bad comedy (almost all of the jokes feel phoned in), and the unfortunate coincidence that its release coincides with a high profile mass shooting highlights how facile the whole thing is.

I'd debate that Spoony's E3 outburst helped contribute to the announcement of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and shoving what would become The Bureau quietly out the back door months later.

MacIntosh has the word "radical" in his twitter handle, and self-identifying as "(a) radical" is highly comorbid with being an insufferable jerkass.

That's true for a lot of adjectives, really, but to go further would involve me basically just regurgitating my nuanced positions on identity politics and self-determination and that would bore everyone to tears.

WampaLord posted:

No. This bullshit counter-jerk about how they are actually "good" movies is insane. You just want to be contrarian to the people who (rightfully) think they are bad movies.

I've noticed this trend of "Well, they aren't really as bad as people say they are" cropping up and it's insufferable. "Worst movies ever?" No, of course not. But yes, they are very bad films and no amount of you claiming they are good films will change that.

"An interesting story" come the gently caress on.

I remember when the second Dragon Age came out and everyone on SA could not go five seconds without angrily pissing in Bioware's general direction, because in big nerd debates that don't have clear answers, SA is invariably partisan in the most obnoxious way possible.

Season 1 of Marble Hornets is probably better than EMH, but as an entire series, I'd say EMH easily beats what MH became. I also don't get why some people think Night Mind's narration sounds weird, I find it kinda relaxing.

He has a new video on That Poppy, by the way:

Titanic Sinclair seems like kind of an rear end in a top hat from his Twitter and non-Poppy videos, though.

I have a lot of nostalgia for Harry Potter due to being one of those who grew up reading it but holy poo poo have I gotten sick of hearing about it. Also, my favorite asinine bit of info that J.K dropped after writing the books is that apparently hufflepuff student engage in group masturbation sessions.

WampaLord posted:

Book 7 stuck out to me as having some weird elements, like the titular Hallows and why they should matter when the focus has been on the horcruxes thanks to Book 6.

But they're definitely not bad books, and anyone who can claim they're outright awful is being smug.

yahtzee is losing views because his reviews are exactly the same they have been for a decade. like, that's fine and i don't mind his style, but at some point i just lost interest. every once in a while a video of his pops up in my recommendations, i watch it, and it's like...yep this is sure the same stuff he was making ten years ago.

My favourite bunny-loaf-girl with the funny voice covers Resonance of Fate - which is a game I thoroughly enjoyed but that also convinced me to stop playing JRPGs.

It's a REALLY fun game with great funny characters and a super cool setting. It also has a story but gently caress only knows what it is. I'm pretty sure (this is recalling from a while ago) the main story itself has next to nothing to do with the player characters.

Like - there's a super-important magical loli being exploited/cared for/creeped over by the game's main 'villain', and I'm pretty cure the PCs are never even made aware of their existence.

The other side of the parasocial interaction coin is that it can mess with the head of the celebrity in the same way it does with their fans. The fans may come to believe they have a new friend, but the celebrity believes they suddenly have thousands of new friends. And some of those friends are so loyal they’ll worship you no matter what you do, while others are so nit-picky they’ll complain no matter what you do. And they’re all relying on you to keep them entertained, week after week, month after month. I’ve heard it said that it feels like an immense amount of pressure.

In the off-chance I ever achieve my dream of being a bestselling author, I’m going the Thomas Pynchon route and staying as far away from the limelight as possible. Being the center of attention just isn’t worth the strain on your mental health.
