why is h3h3 productions so popular

his videos seem really boring and unfunny

also his wife seems pretty slow but that might just be her accent

his videos making fun of/exposing pranksters and tai lopez were good. the recent video where he meets tai lopez is great because there are like five lawyers just lurking around as they walk through the rented mansion (also tai's nice cars are all leased to his company).

the whole blaming black "culture" for them getting shat on is so annoying with that poo poo about fatherless children. for one, like someone else stated we created it by decimating an entire generation of men by throwing them into prison for nothing crimes which then fucks over generation after generation after generation. for two, as boner confessor pointed out just saying a child is raised by a single mother is misleading - in fact, if i remember correctly black unmarried fathers are part of the day to day upbringing of their children more than any other racial group in that category.

none of these people ever look down to root causes it's always looking at the very surface and declaring that the reason.

that's exactly it.

i got into it once with a few sargon acolytes after i mocked him in some twitter thread (keep in mind one of these guys mockingly retweeted me telling him scientific racism has been a joke since before his parents were born). they're effective with ignorant people because they often use real statistics but don't give you the whole picture. one of those dudes linked how even correcting for income level, black students score poorer on the SATs than their white counterparts. not even getting into whether there would be prejudice in the school system in terms of attention between black and white students, they probably don't know or purposely left out that a black family making 100k is more likely than not living among white families making 30k. so they aren't going to the same schools as their income equals - they're going to much shittier schools in comparison. it's like how conspiracy theories flourish - you give someone who isn't that well read on that particular subject some statistic or fact but don't give it the full context.

also those dudes are the biggest snowflakes ever, every one of them blocks me.

i enjoy the cognitive dissonance of seemingly realizing misogyny is bad or at least the overt form is very frowned upon so they have to shield it by saying "it's about ethics in gaming journalism" but then never ever talk about that and only about how the females are cucking all the menfolk and destroying our way of life.

She might simply believe those things in good faith because she is a child. How informed were you when you were a teenager, and how well could you reason?

you cannot hold the opinions she and the others do and argue in good faith. it's impossible to be right wing and argue in good faith.

I think I talked about that last thread, but in all fairness, 99.9% of YouTubers going out of their way to make a video about that are going to come from a place of misogyny. James just genuinely really loves Ghostbusters

the reaction was just stupid because if they actually watched his video it wasn't at all how they were characterizing it (and it doesn't help them at all that the movie came out and was not good).

i love sargon getting triggered to the point he's yelling about his hilariously insane belief that feminism created elliot rodger. did sargon ever read rodger's "manifesto" (really an autobiography) or watch his videos? this is a rhetorical question since we all know the answer.

that is the perfect way to describe how he talks and emotes. it's loving terrible. most youtube people have lovely voices/manner of speaking/expressions and i dunno how they grab a following.

laci green has a very weird way of talking (like only her mouth moves or she talks out of the side in a weird way) and i feel comfortable saying that now that she's a shithead.

length isn't really a problem if the video is good. i've watched hour long plus videos about why fallout 3 or fallout 4 are bad (one of em by our very own hbomberguy) because both of those games were very bad and it's interesting seeing someone put it all together.

the problem with antifeminists and poo poo is they don't have enough material to the fill the time so they just loving ramble on for ages.

My one complaint about hbomerguy's takedown videos is that he'll hammer on the same thing a lot. I don't think his laugh is fake, but I don't think Jon Tron slurring communists is the funniest poo poo in the world

i find it funny because jontron is far dumber than someone his age should be. you'd assume he's 19 or something based on the poo poo he says.

I forgot about this post when the bus I was on broke down and don't feel like rewatching the video or finding my posts. He talks in circles with the lifegem thing. Ultimately I think what he wants is estus you can find refills of off enemies. He doesn't give any justification for grinding blood vials. Also the whole thing is dumb because your weapon will break before you run out of estus as early as lost Bastille if you're good at the game
DS2 is the most hostile to new players imo. DS3 has the hardest starting areas by far, but DS2's mechanics are weirder and more punishing. To put it uncharitably 2 is the most obtuse dark souls. And I think that's why some people are so loyal to it. They put in the time to really master it and 4th edition isn't real dungeon and dragons its like the fighters can cast spells I'm sorry what was I talking about.

After putting another 10 hours into it and watching bomber's video (the best part is when he's dunking on matt he should stick to his strengths) and a response video I concluded that you like dark souls 2 if you like the animations. Rolling feels bad to me. The mace attacks are stupid as hell. I don't like that my character lurches forward instead of using the actual length of their weapon. So the game pushes me to its limits like the fume knight I'm besides myself because I feel like I'm fighting my own character.
In that response video he said he was having more fun on a strength run. Same for me but I think it's because I would one two shot dudes and eight shot some bosses (holy poo poo what), so I playing the game less and went through the feedback loop of ever increasing numbers faster. Soul memory allows for a constant grind.
But that response video said you can get stun locked in 3 unlike 2 which is complete horseshit. In 3 hitstun is designed to let you get out of a combo if you don't have 30 poise you will eat 8 hit combos in 2 its poise system is garbage and makes the better weight system go to waste.

yeah when i said he was wrong about stuff the lifegems was the one in particular. same with bloodborne's blood vials - bloodborne is probably the best designed game ever and my personal fave but it sucks poo poo if you're stuck on a boss and your next run you only had like 10 in your stash. should've just refilled to 20 every time you died.

the weapon breaking was because they coded the game dumbly.

Arendt's essays are fading into historical memory even as we continue to discuss the Holocaust today. People take it for granted today that the Holocaust was an atrocity that we always knew about and always cared about. As Tony Judt argues: "But if we wish to grasp the true significance of evil—what Hannah Arendt intended by calling it “banal”—then we must remember that what is truly awful about the destruction of the Jews is not that it mattered so much but that it mattered so little.

i think a lot of people (probably most everyone actually) are under the impression that because we recognize the holocaust as such an evil act, perhaps the most evil act ever committed, that it was always seen as such. the holocaust didn't enter into the public consciousness of america (or even germany) until the airing of the miniseries Holocaust in 1978. that's 33 years after the war ended and 16 years after eichmann was captured and executed by israel.
