This is a bit of an odd request, but I remember watching a review/analysis thing of the OVA Roots Search a few years ago. It was in the style of most of the Channel Awesome stuff at the time in its format IIRC. I figured it would have been a Bennett the Sage thing but looking on his site that appears to not be the case. It's driving me crazy that I can't find this again and I'm wondering if anyone here knows what's I'm remembering.

I was so excited for the Switch with the initial reveal but I have to agree Nintendo bungled it hard with their recent presentation and the direction they seem to want to go with, i.e. more gimmicky poo poo (HD rumble lol). For me the only reason to get a switch would be for the new Zelda and that's something best saved for later when a bundle comes out. To keep this a little more relevant to the thread's topic:nine-gear crow posted:Like, 8 times out of 10 I generally disregard anything that comes out of Jim Sterling's smug, self-important mouth, but the man has been a loving soothsayer when it comes to Nintendo relentlessly shooting itself in the foot with its unending stream of terrible decisions. I've been generally cold to the idea of the Nintendo Switch since I first saw, and seeing Jim come out with both barrels against it this week has reaffirmed my decision to not even bother with the thing. You do realize that most of his smugness is a trait that he's playing up for a character, right? If you watch his non-scripted stuff he comes across as a lot more reasonable.

Max Wilco posted:I admit, I haven't really followed the Nintendo Switch reveal info, so I don't know what all the fuss is over the online stuff. All I know about the Switch is that Mario Odyssey looks cool, and it makes me wonder if I should bother buying more games for Wii U, since it seem like some of them are going to be ported over to the Switch. The fuss over the online stuff is that it'll be a paid service that makes PSN and Xbox Gold look like a shining beacon of online services. Probably the most controversial point revealed is that, as part of the service, you will get one free SNES/NES game per month on a temporary basis, and that as soon as the month is over you have to pay to continue to play that game even if you're subscription is still active.

Yeah a complaint I often see about NV is the lack of depth with Caesar's Legion, and I think it's even an admitted failing on the part of the developers, but honestly I feel it works. They're a lovely slaver society and them lacking any real moral depth is kind of a good thing, even if they do end up being comically edgy at times (wolf hat dude being a prime example of that).

I disagree with his assertion that the Souls games, even including Bloodborne, have average-at-best combat, but I do agree with his general opinion that Demon's Souls is better thanks to all that weird poo poo. World tendency was terribly designed but it's a cool idea and more novel than most of the mechanics in DS3, for example. He seems to attribute that to a "design by committee/the game got popular" sort of thing which I agree is dumb, but I do think FromSoft started to get a little too comfortable with the formula and not trying enough novel stuff.

Kim Justice posted:Guys, we all have our preferences and they're pretty much hardcoded in. And saying that it's the same as not wanting to date a black person is spurious as hell...like, there's so many factors you've not considered. What about starting a family, say? Maybe someone wants a kid, they'd like to be a biological father or something along those lines...we trans women can't provide that because we don't have uteruses. You don't get that in other cases... The fertility thing is bullshit. Outside of the fact that there are other options for raising children, you never see this being brought up with regards to cis women even though there are numerous ways a cis woman can be infertile. That it's only ever brought up in relation to trans women makes it absolutely transphobic. The attraction thing is irrelevant because no one is saying anyone should be forced to date a trans person. Just that, if someone is turned off purely because the prospective partner is trans, it might be because of deeply held transphobic views, and that the person in question should probably do some soul searching.

In exactly the same way that someone is very likely racist if they wouldn't date a black person. These attitudes don't come from nowhere, and if you're suggesting they're purely biological constructs that just happen to exist within some people, separate from societal influences, I'd point you to that one black dude that's converted several hardcore KKK members into not being racists.

That doesn't mean other people didn't. The entire point of the lootbox system, and all the research that goes into gambling-related stuff, is to prey on human psychology. People with addictive personalities have much harder times not buying into the system and that's a bad thing when doing so requires actual money.

Yeah, this is the first thing that really makes me worried that Contra is going to fall down the right-wing rabbit hole. Debating them? Fine, I can sort of see where she's coming from. Literally raising money for them? Um, no.Kim Justice posted:Funny that angry "how dare she talk with the other side, what's she doing? SHE'S NOT GOOD AT DEBATING REEEEE" poo poo like this just so happens to only really come up when it's Contra. If it's not getting a profile on a mainstream site by some person lots of people hate, it's this. Good golly gee whiz, I wonder why on earth that could be? No one is saying she's a bad debater? Just that debating these sorts of people is ultimately pointless. And as I and a few others have mentioned, any good coming from her potentially have convinced a few people is more than undone by her raising money for them. quote:Anyway, few points: Contra and Theryn Meyer have been quite friendly for some time. They've done videos and streams before even, and they went just fine, so saying it's just gonna be some 2v1 punching bag job is...um, probably not right. Generally they're all friendly with each other and do lots of batting on Twitter and so on - both Theryn and Blaire went savage on another right-wing trans woman, Zuzanna Mroz, who made a godawful video that tried to make out Contra to have paedophile symapthies because of jokes she'd made (if you want a conservative trans woman who is a real piece of poo poo, that one's right there). Watching the videos of people like Theryn or indeed Blaire would probably stop the "THESE ARE MASSIVE BIGOT DEMONS" stuff but I've tried that before and don't want to do it again as obviously most people here are just content with masturbating all over RationalWiki. Anyway, blah blah blah, let's have a go at the trans leftist who's talking to people who are politically different. Meyer's and Blaire's videos are horrid garbage. That you have to defend them by saying "look at this other person that's worse!" then you're defending the wrong people. quote:Seriously like gently caress would this be happening if instead of Contra it was Hbomb or Shaun or Dan Olson or whoever. Yes? But I doubt we'll ever see because they're not trying to be buddy-buddy with memelord fascists. Genocyber fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Nov 27, 2017 |

Kim Justice posted:*sigh* I do not recall ever saying that Blaire White was a fan of Islam. I know she has videos regarding Islam, I've seen the bloody things - I even mentioned them. My main point of contention was with sexpig (as usual) constantly posting hysterical nonsense, muddying up the whole timeline and just flat out making bollocks up - it was you who then chose to go through her Twitter feed and find a bunch of tweets with her opinions on Islam like they're some massive truth bomb. I like how you continue to sweep her being an awful bigot under the rug. That sure is a character quality that makes sense to ignore when talking about a person!

Kim Justice posted:I literally said she doesn't care about Islam and you can take your impressions from that how you want - I've not even stated mine (for the record, they're not exactly the videos of hers I care for. It's not that I try to avoid them just that I don't agree). I mean, if I wanted to sweep it under the carpet I'd probably try to say that she actually isn't in any way Islamophobic at all and whatever, which I would fail at. You're right, which is why you seem to doing the somewhat more effective thing of belittling it as much as possible. You can't separate things like hatred and bigotry from conservative thought because they're pretty much the bedrock of it (of modern conservatism, at least in America, I'll say). quote:From an LGBT perspective...y'know, there are problems. As one example, the maximum penalty for sodomy in Saudi Arabia is still Stoning. In 2017...like, that's a serious problem and I do not think it's Islamophobic to point that out (especially because such things are the issue of the government and the criminal justice system there as opposed to the person in the street). But it is Islamophobia to point out that and only that, and to use it as a value judgement on Muslim people/justification for treating them lovely. Saudia Arabia has anti-sodomy laws? So did (/even still do, I think) some states in America, with police setting up sting operations purposefully to arrest gay men as far back as the long lost age of the 90s. But you never see these people mention these instances, because the point is not to try and fix these issues but provide rationalization for hating Muslim people.
