I have very little patience with that kind of "it's a waste of time" elitism, like any one medium is inherently more meaningful than the other to the individual

like, if you're having a good time who loving gives a poo poo

also to say "video games are bad because of X" is usually a pointless rhetorical exercise since it's such an expansive and varied medium that those arguments would only count for a tiny sliver of what is actually available to experience

lol ur a nerd xd

One thing I've found disappointing is that people who do a podcast I really like, when they start doing movie reviews, just repeat dumb man-on-the-street stuff.

Like I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that the Dry Boys don't really "get" BvS. :can:

This is relevant to their work, because they often talk about how the average person can't read culture because class consciousness in the USA has been systematically ground down and atomized into nothingness, leading to liberals looking in the wrong places, freaking out about phenomena like "cultural appropriation" and only seeing critique of the establishment in terms of notional consumer choices.

Simply put, most people get no education in how to read film or television. If you're like me, you got a segment in your 10th grade English class in how to read things like character archetypes and conflict in a story, and how to read the plot of a short story. But Star Wars and The Avengers have a greater effect on popular ideology than like, "The Scarlet Ibis" or whatever.

Did *anyone* think Newsroom was good? Like I know libs fawn over the West Wing but does anyone even give a poo poo about the Newsroom anymore except to poo poo on it?

All I know about the newsroom is that loving clip of the guy from dumb and dumber talking about how bad the USA is in some college talk or some poo poo. The most annoying video of all time, constantly shared for years between my facebook friends (especially between my mexican friends in the states)

What episode do they even talk about the newsroom?

Early today a new episode with David Cross has shown up for free, but probably everyone here has seen it.

However, remember that promised episode where Matt talks about gaming on that podcast Felix was at? Got dropped today as well!!

Really enjoyed this, and even though I still play games it really struck a chord with me. I remember when I was in a video game major my first year of college I loving hated everyone in my classes because their only identity was video games and it was so loving boring.

Holy poo poo this guy just lost all connection with reality as soon as he heard Amber chime in. Dude breaks into prayer when confronted with a woman who says she had an abortion.

Also, Matt shouting "Butt sex!"


Edit:

Matt Walther: 'That is.. that is satanic and not funny'
Amber: 'Hail satan'
Will: 'Actually its hilarious'
Matt C: 'It's very funny'

Re:twitch from earlier in the thread... I kind of wonder, looking back on that gamergate thing from a few years ago where it seems like most self-identitied gamers are politically aware now, even if their politics are based in their disdain for girls or whatever, if there was a missed opportunity to introduce that subculture to class consciousness or if such a subculture would be resistant to the idea

I'm gonna say a majority of people who identify as "gamers" probably identify to the right.

games with female protagonists and gay romance options still sell super well. The screeching pepe gamefaqs commentators are not the massive demographic you might think.

Yeah as you said games are in the realm of normies

Guy Goodbody posted:

Video games are not a niche subgenre, they are a huge industry, rivaling movies. The consumers of video games are standard people, not alt-right 4channers. "Gamer" is not actually a niche subculture.

the Mass Effect series didn't drop off in sales after it introduced gay romance options. Tomb Raider games sold better after they changed Lara Croft to have smaller boobs and wear pants. Farcry 5 will sell better than Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash

Video games are firmly in the realm of normies

"Gamers" don't consider themselves normies.

Do you see where I'm going with this

I don't even think the majority of people who watch twitch streams are the pepe types. I really think that you're overestimating the numbers of the alt-right. They're extremely vocal because they have no lives and never shut up, but if they were a big group then that would have evidence, somewhere. But it terms of actual real world impact, what have they done? Briefly made Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball a best-seller on video game import sites?

You're putting a lot of words in the my mouth. I never said poo poo about alt right, pepe, ghost busters, doa extreme, or whatever the gently caress. I said, people who identify themselves as "gamers" lean more to the right. Gamers are not normies, and normies are not gamers. Do you need me to spell it out for you even more.

The majority of people who play video games don't go on twitch or go to conventions or whatever, they're just normal people. But theres a lot of people who self identify as a "gamer" as some sort of class or some poo poo. Now I'm gonna assume you identify as a "gamer" and thats why you keep defending games culture or whatever the gently caress so much. But in the realm of "GAMERS" the majority of them who are either online, on twitter, on twitch, on reddit, on 4chan, etc., identify more to the right..
