Might want to sticky this like I believe the last thread was?

It wasn't.

My thoughts, and I'm writing this as a time capsule to myself when this thread gets closed 5 years from now:
- I've seen the future, the next thing beyond LP, and that is being a successful YouTube star (impossible for me) who debates politics on Skype with an effete moderator and then uploading the 2 hours of raw footage of the Skype window.
- People want to have sex with the fish man from Zelda.
- Similar to point 1, having a channel where a cartoon avatar standing in for the video author debunks Brexit using logic.

The only interesting looking level in the whole game was Pewd's house at the beginning, because everything else looks like a empty void with some generic enemies. Also if I were to make a game about a famous LPer that plays mostly horror, shooter, and dumb flash games, I wouldn't make it a platformer of all things.

I'm being completely serious here, so don't laugh: it did a very poor job "selling" me on watching a PewDiePie video. I know he's the #1 subscribed-to guy on YouTube, and this game was clearly meant for "the choir", but I would have appreciated it if the designers had a little bit of a viewpoint of "not everyone playing this is gonna get every single reference". This my honest critique of the game.

Thanks for the update. Ever since they got too big and successful to post here I've always had trouble keeping up with what those yahoos are up to.

I stopped posting videos here because I figured everyone from SA would've subscribed by now, and I don't have as much time to keep a (good) thread going on SA. Plus, I love streaming and it's kinda hard to make that "work" for a thread on SA because the discussion is out-of-whack with people watching live and then viewing videos after the fact.

Sorry, I won't take away more of the topic, just wanted to give an answer to this even though nobody cares.

gently caress it sucks rear end. Every other song talks about whores and sucking dick.

drat, Egoraptor, famous for being the first nerd online to explain why game design can be good and thusly became presumed audience-aware knowledge for other nerd-based videos about video game design, has now produced an album, meanwhile today I got excited to use the vacuum I bought at Costco. It really makes you think; if we traded places, would he become well-known for boringly explaining good vacuum design like a huge dork? We may never know.

I didn't say he sucks, I just want an outlet to complain about how two separate videos I watched cited Egoraptor and expected the audience to know who he was and what he said. Sure, I did indeed know implicitly, but it's not right to assume others would as well!

The layout is bad but it's bad everytime and eventually I forget how bad it is and then I look at a screenshot of the past and I think it looked worse. Also, they have to do stuff like this because it makes things seem less stagnant, and is easier than fixing their "ad problem".

This was pretty weird. Decided to catch up on some Men Drinking Coffee videos. Got through their second one on Metroid Maker and literally seconds after I got a Google survey asking if I watched it, and then whether two other videos would be a good suggestion for me.


For the record, this isn't something we have any control over. I did notice that the Mega Man Maker video about Cut Man being startled and falling in to the toilet made it in to YouTube's suggested video algorithm, so it could be due to that.

If you have any language that's bad in the title or description or maybe even your name, you get demonetized. For example, my Resident Evil videos got flagged and I believe it's because they have the word "Evil" in their title.

What has to break in a person to have an opinion like this, jesus christ dude, please vigorously fellate the multi-billionaires harder. What's with some people that seemingly get this giant hardon off the ultra rich once again stomping on people who most times are barely making an okay living at best off streaming and stuff, like oh no, the giant corporation's intellectual property is ever so microscopically under attack, those plebes should know their place!

Well, some time ago an indie dev pointed out that PewDiePie played one of his games and Pewds got more from the ad revenue on that video than the dev did in sales for the game with the dev getting no piece of that ad revenue. Sure, it probably netted him a spike in sales, but is that really a fair exchange? This was before the "adpocalypse" but I think it illustrates Suspicious Dish's point a bit better on where this kind of setup is unfair to where the dev is the little guy in the situation.

And I agree making money on video games feels like it'll inevitably stop/change drastically as companies realize there's additional revenue to be had there. But I dont think it justifies the prevalent hardline attitude this subforum had towards monetization for years because hey why not make $13, everyone here probably uses ad blocker anyway.

Also as a fun fact the fake escort was actually a husband and wife scammer/hacker team that for over ten years pretended to be various escorts / camgirls using stolen pictures and the like.

You mean he didn't spend $18,000 for a woman to pose as his girlfriend? The guy is dumb but I doubt he had $15,000 before he decided "nah that final $3,000 is a bit much for me".

It’s difficult to note that stuff when you’re playing and talking. Plus, it’s a swamp.

I hate the vile trolls too, especially when I lay out a pile of birdseed (with a sign above it that says "birdseed") and tie an anvil to a rope and hang it precariously above the birdseed. When the trolls eat the birdseed, I let go of the rope, yet to my chagrin, the anvil mysteriously hangs in the air! Naturally, I go to investigate this phenomenon, only for the anvil to comically flatten me.

But wait, there is one person who was explicitly hired and was paid a wage who was called in the day of surgery to be fired, was forced to sign a non competete agreement otherwise they would withhold her severance pay that disallowed her from making money doing something she knows how to do for 3 years. We should care about her and only her right, cause she was in fact a contracted worker who earned a wage under TGWTG?

It sounds like it was terribly managed and run by incompetent people, but I don't know what there is to "quit" since apparently it was a voluntary contribution thing. They didn't share revenue or provide a video hosting platform, as far as I understand, it was a way for other people to uhhh y'know... piggyback off Nostalgia Critic? I guess? Not saying it excuses what the management did, I just don't really understand why endure in that environment silently when they have almost no leverage over you.
