Halloween Jack posted:I'm very interested in the MGS series, but frankly don't have time to play all the games and don't particularly want to play really old games. Is there a particular LP that's ideal for experiencing the first games, and any particularly good sites/threads/whatever for analysis? that poster chip cheezum does really thorough lps of them all and shows off as much content as you could ask for. in terms of analysis, there is basically no good critical analysis of MGS published anywhere. the book ashly and anthony burch wrote is unbelievable trash.

i never thought i would see people take a break from bashing capitalism to take a poo poo on consumers rights

the oligarch class must be dismantled, but until then, lol at anyone who wants to legislate protections for their victims

Impermanent posted:lmfao the whole point is that most gamers idea of consumer protections is pressuring steam to release hentai videogames without the need to crack open up the nude scenes themselves. if they actually organized around busting monopolistic control in games it'd be great. Jim Sterling at least does some of this but of course he takes massive heat from half the drat "gamer community" whenever he criticizes a zelda or something. maybe if jim sterling would stop wearing an insane cartoon fascist costume people would take him more seriously

Neato posted:Consumer's rights as far as self identified gamers are concerned are more about their own satisfaction with their purchases than it has anything to do with actually protecting consumers. The people who believe their rights are being violated because the new mass effect wasn't what they wanted it to be, doesn't give a poo poo about consumer advocacy outside of whatever they are outraged about this week. The new mass effect being a fundamentally broken product is a legitimate complaint.

Like Chapo should probably hire an audio guy or spend ten minutes figuring out how to mix Matt's audio into the show properly if they're going to be making a million dollars a year or whatever ludicrous dollar amount this podcast pulls in.

I think if you're a person paying for something you have a right to complain about it. This is like the least controversial statement possible.

I really enjoy the show but they can afford to spend a couple minutes producing the show. There's no reason Cum Town should have better audio.

Halloween Jack posted:The thing that bothers me about stuff like the free-to-play model is that it's a way for large companies to condition consumers to expect and accept the annoying aspects of that model even in a totally different model. Like, I should not see constant in-game advertising for microtransactions in a game I paid for. All streaming services, tv, going to a theater, car insurance, health insurance, insurance in general, credit cards, subscription based services in general,

Kunster posted:Deem the DSA disability folk council as faking their disability and then going on how they're secret radlib infiltrator cops. And then tell a weird anti semitic tale on how the mentally ill is going to destroy socialism. And since people told her to gently caress off with that stuff, this will doom socialism somehow because the totem of all leftist thought and power in the United States according to people who really, really want a Based Mom Of The Left of some reason. While still somehow juggling at the same time that the podcast is 100% entertainment and they shouldn't be seen as arbitrators of policy. Kind of confusing, I'd say. You are misrepresenting basically every single thing that happened and probably are a cop.

Sandweed posted:Nobody is saying that, we are just pointing out that the inclusive and woman friendly gamergate movement sent 10000 tweets a day to Nintendo and outed her as a sex worker for the crime being a female employed by them. She was using official Nintendo merch in her sex worker photo shoots and name-dropping them on her escort page. It's pretty reasonable to fire her for that.

Guy Goodbody posted:That article doesn't mention that the moonlighting she was doing was porn, and the "controversial thesis" she wrote was literally in defense of child porn. Oh yeah she was also publicly defending child pornography on her main Nintendo linked twitter that's true. Say what you want about the situation that was a justified firing.

A Gnarlacious Bro posted:Under the vegetable you care about the lamest videogame poo poo in the world I'm pretty sure if you're in a youth facing branch of Nintendos localization team with active social media presence for NoA you shouldnt be posting pics of a Nintendo 3DS blocking your nipples on backpage. The backpage part isn't an issue, it's the using Nintendo products to sell a third party service that's an issue. Is there any evidence Nintendo even found out about it through the gamergate people?
