I'm going back through Lindsay Ellis' back catalog and her Lorax review is quaintly dated. Like corporations and corporate apologists being literal captain planet villains is just a thing now, no longer a strawman.

I clicked on the video for like a second, saw a lovely MS paint octopus with a top hat and a monocle, and assumed it had to be someone dumping on the whole "add cargo-culty classy poo poo to thing, screech about women and brown folk" thing. You mean it's real?

I was mostly kidding, and I think Hbomb was mostly kidding about how unique his "play conditioning" revelation was too. I mean the copycat video is almost completely his point-for-point, it's not about the guy copying his grand "play conditioning" thesis.

Some bosses can be viscerally, pants-shittingly hard like Orphan of Kos or Manus, where no deal of calm-headedness will really help you and you just have to be good at the game to kill them. I agree that most of the series is a pretty straightforward problem to solve, but there's a couple exceptions. Contrary to a lot of hbomb's points though, I do feel like sword and board is not only a viable way to tackle most of the base game in Souls, but maybe the most viable way. Turtling isn't how you use a shield in Souls, you pull it up at the last second to keep your stamina regen up and alternate between one and two-handed stances

You do - you just keep your shield ready for when there isn't an opening but there's an axe flying at your head  Or dodge too i guess but maybe you care about your positioning at the moment more than you care about stamina loss.

Two schools of thought: A)The Matt Christman. No such thing as moral consumption. Everything is evil and counter-revolutionary. Any time spent gaming is time you could spend protesting, chain smoking, or posting ironically. B) The end game of leftism is shrinking time spent at work and growing time spent at home, pursuing hobbies, however trivial. Gaming is a hobby. The revolution needs to happen so i can play Civ all day.

"Gamers". People that play games and live otherwise well-adjusted, balanced lives, however, are cool. Also there have to be some cool people in the hobby to rub its increasing inclusiveness in their faces. Deified Data fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Jul 7, 2017 |

My step-dad is a long-haul trucker who was apolitical for 40 years of his life until he got bored and turned the dial to Rush one day and then started having serious doubts about our then-President's heritage and whether or not it was okay for a "Muslim to be in the White House". I think "convincing" is the wrong word. People like Rush take an empty political vessel like my step-dad and "fill" them with a perspective they never bothered to consider before out of laziness, apathy, or both. I think this could be accomplished by a leftist voice too, if there was one, but I recognize the built-in advantage conservatives enjoy, insofar as it's easier to convince someone that their problems are someone else's fault instead of a system they've paid into their entire life.

Really though, there's no mode of communication a liberal can engage in with a conservative that won't come off as sounding whiny (if empathetic), or smug (if righteous). Unlike American conservatism which is a political strategy more than it is a philosophy, liberalism and leftism (to different degrees) are a moral imperative. I can't describe to my racist parents why i'm not racist without raising an accusation at them, unspoken or otherwise. I can't convince a rich man why he should pay more of his money forward without implying that he didn't earn his success (he didn't). So what do you say to these people?

Yall should question whether the guy doubting that loving Sargon of Akkad is actually as racist and sexist as his many, many racist and sexist videos portray him to be is arguing in good faith or not. It should not be this easy to get trolled.

Doesn't really meet the "intellectual" requirement for this thread (though, do they ever?) but Nick Robinson of Polygon and Cool Games Inc fame is getting ousted for being a creeper to fans on Twitter. He hasn't defended himself against any of the accusations yet (horndogging female fans, asking for nudes via DM) so it's looking like it's probably all true. He's definitely leaving Polygon and CGI is probably done too, which really, really sucks. Not that he can't be replaced as Griffin McElroy's foil but the two were close. Basically what I'm asking is what are the odds of him going full Nazi like almost every other Youtube guy who bumps up against "political correctness" even once. He never struck me as that kind of guy unlike Jontron or Pew "RAPE!" Diepie but he was good at hiding it, I guess.

Contra is good, her new vid is good, anyone that has a problem with it probably needs the critical self-reflection the video promotes - hard or center left. Say what you will about the left's fractious nature and tendency towards infighting - traditionally we are at least capable of looking inward.

bebaloorpabopalo posted:Paul Joseph Watsons obsession with "being counter-culture" is so weird. It's very telling listening to any criticism of culture he's made that he's concerned solely with being edgy and contrarian and that he thinks he deserves to be considered cool now but he's really angry that nobody thinks he is cool so he just yells at much cooler people about how uncool they are because a lot of people think they're cool. Contrarianism is the defining ethos of the alt-right, more than racism, more than sexism, it's a vain desire to shout "nuh uh" in the face of a society that is becoming more and more socially liberal. It's the rebellion they care about more than the spirit of the rebellion, which you see in all these "conservative is the new punk" memes. These people would be tankies in another time. They're a side-effect of American Individualism's constant assertion that "maybe everyone else is wrong, and I'm the brave, lone innovator". It's an incredibly flattering way of viewing oneself and an easy trap to fall into for young men like PJW who have no social prospects and essentially no future.

Contra is wrong that political violence stops being effective and tactical when it becomes fun. She also said that we are the better people in a way that implied she did not believe it, which I also disagree with. Contra is wrong on both of those things but a sappy liberal she is not.
