The only possible explanation I've got is that facerig lost its luster and people just aren't interested in pretending to be hamburgers or dogs in bowls anymore.

I'm all for this though, because it's producing great material as a meme already.

If a stream isn't getting hosted on Youtube, I'm not watching it. Something about Twitch doesn't agree with my laptop and I can't get a decent amount of video buffered to watch in a normal fashion so there's really no point in trying if I'm going to be limited like that.

For whatever reason even mobile quality on Twitch needs to buffer every 10s but I have no problem on Youtube. I don't watch a lot of streams anyway, but in the off chance I'd like to..I don't have many options.

Yeah, basically the only things I've looked at are ChipCheezum, slowbeef and KalonZombie's stuff. Occasionally SkippyGranola does them too though but it's mostly the other two.

I don't really have much to continue the discussion with but I just want to bring some of my confusion over to here.

I was watching something and a Game Grumps video came up in the recommended side for some reason. Thing was is that it was like part 68 of Paper Mario TTYD. And they were still only like halfway through chapter 4. They spend like three minutes struggling to figure out how to beat a Buzzy Beetle. They tried hammer and after that didn't work, they were pretty much stumbling blind. You have two attacks, hammer and jump, it shouldn't be this difficult a puzzle! :psyduck:

Nidoking posted:

My biggest complaints are that they've reduced the number of videos in the "Recently Uploaded" section from 15 to 10 (in both layouts) and that you have to specifically switch to Edit Mode to remove videos from your Watch Later list after you've watched them - which just switches you right back to the old layout anyway. It also seemed like when I hit the fullscreen button as a video started, it would take a few seconds to finish loading the page and then reload in the regular view, so I'd have to hit fullscreen again. I concede that I'm not a graphic designer, but if anyone who is can tell me why adding more clicks to access the features users use is good UI design, I will personally petition to have your license revoked.

Yeah, I don't even know where edit mode is- or that it was a thing before- so I've gotta open a video before I can remove other stuff.

I was worried it was going to end with Slowbeef pretending to choke on those cashews into unconsciousness.

Watching that game-play video again, what makes it so hilarious/frustrating is that you can tell right away that you can't jump high enough to clear that cylinder from the ground. Like if it just failing to jump-and-dash from the cube to the cylinder, I'd look at it and think, "Well, I guess you just have really precise jumps in this game." Instead, the video makes it look like the game's being played by someone's dad who hasn't tried playing video games since 1994.

It's very poorly explained. They should've had a ghost Cuphead going through the motions to illustrate how you're wasting your time by running up to the pillar.

Anyway, this isn't important. What is important is that Baker7498 has returned.

Thew main problem I have personally with doing the LP thing for money is that I enjoy games, but I'm not very good at them. Playing a game on my own time first means I can have the freedom when stuck on a hard boss to go "You know what, I'm getting better but I've been doing this guy for an hour and I'm tired, I think I'll go do something else and come back to this..." Playing games for a performance means you have to stick it out until you win, of course preferably editing out the failures, and that's a good way to get too frustrated with a game.

See, there's the trick. What you do is, as Diabetus puts it, create a cas' environment where people don't harshly judge you for not being good at video games and don't mind if you pause the stream for a minute to swap to a different game.

Just because Smite has the mental fortitude to do seven hours of Breath of the Wild doesn't mean that everyone has to go for that long on whatever game is in their console at the time.

Leal posted:

Then whats your angle with bringing that stuff up? Surprise, when somebody that a person likes dies they say nice things about them. Jumping up on a soapbox and going "Well ACTUALLY" is nothing more then an attempt to bring down the mourners. Every time someone tries to pay their respects there is someone who barges in with "Actually he is a gigantic cock"

He's dead, the ultimate price was paid, what more do you want from him? You won that battle, the bad man is currently in a morgue getting a suit fitted and being put into a coffin. We can't even respect the dead these days, its loving despicable.


Max Wilco posted:

It's not as if you can't criticize TotalBiscuit. Even if you remove gamergate from the equation, you can still grill him for acting like a smug know-it-all dick. I know that it was once brought up that ages ago, he used to post here on SA, and did some long diatribe about how he took an IQ test or something.

But cripes, like, wait a couple weeks, or a month or something.

Plus, if Slowbeef and Jim Sterling are willing to offer condolences to his passing, that must say something redeeming of him.

Whatever, I'm ducking out. Ya'll have fun calling a corpse an rear end in a top hat, I can see I'm not gonna convince you that there should should be more tact to a dead man, and you're not gonna convince me that you can be selective in which corpses are fair game to insult. Glory of the internet, everyone digs their heels in and screams "gently caress you" at each other.


Mega64 posted:

There's middle ground between "Don't say anything ill about the dead" and "He's a shithead who deserved to die". I know, SA and the internet and all, but let's try to be respectful and use tact and not scream at each other. You can talk about his flaws/strengths and all that while keeping it civil and not diving into intense anger at the drop of a hat.

That said,


TotalBiscuit died for our sins.

When Justice Scalia died I did a touchdown dance for what felt like 20 minutes straight.

Also, people here are shitpoting about a guy on a forum that's breaking the servers if 100,000 people log on at once. It's not like they're saying this stuff at his wife of Jesse and Dodger on Twitter like how when it turned out someone in ChannelAwesome was grooming other co-workers and broke-brained nutjobs then went to ask the victims if it's cool if they still like that guy's stuff.

Chip and Ironicus did post their Beyond Good & Evil HD LP here not too long ago, so I'm not sure why they decided to go LP Zone only this time around. I didn't really follow that thread, so I don't know if there was a bunch of shitposting going on or whatever.

I don't actually know the LP Zone that well but I'm under the impression that it doesn't have a paywall so that makes it more accessible to people.

Also the weirdest part of Voidburger and Psych getting shadowbanned was that they were talking about how hosed up the Shmorky thing was but I'm mostly sure that neither of them actually tagged or @ed- or whatever the term is on Twitter- Lowtax they were just talking.

YouTube personalities and Neo-Nazis man, I'm honestly fascinated how and intrigued about why those two cultures are so drawn to each other. The 2010s have taken a bizarre turn the last 5 years or so.

All that aside, for a group of guys like SBF, I've always really appreciated how professional they've always been about everything. Like, heads and shoulders above almost every other internet personality, which is extra crazy cause they got started before any kind of internet personality social conduct was really nailed down.

Youtube work is all just a big game of follow the leader. PewDiePie's an alt right piece of poo poo so everyone else is doing the same, just like his scarecam poo poo.
