Digging the Pat playthrough of Death Stranding. Loved the game but was real worried it'd be stream/lp poison. Apparently not though.

I mean given how things played out with Matt and Liam I'm not sure there's been doubt about that in a long time.

He still is the funniest of the four but man I miss him having someone to bounce poo poo off of who knew more than Paige. Like not knocking Paige but outside the few games she knows poo poo about she isn't the best commentary partner.

On a whim, I got the idea to rewatch some of Crankyconstruct's animations for nostalgia. I found out they deleted all their content and I felt bad. Then I went on their twitter and now I don't know how to feel.

lmfao when woolie took the camera and zoomed in on reggie, and reggie was covering his face going "I'm blinking to signal I need help!" and then said "someone call the swat team!" but IMMEDIATELY realized what he said, his eyes went wide, and he was like NO NO NO NO NO

:allears:

I really love the reggie/woolie combo. I also really love that woolie is really loving DOOM. I figured he'd never play it due to his motion sickness from FPSes.

Yeah Minh and especially Reggie have grown on me. And I'm real glad least one of the zaibatsu is still doing multiplayer/multiple commentary stuff. I like Pat and Matt's solo stuff but it really feels lesser without someone else there.

Also Minh is such a loving poo poo talker when he's in the lead. It's great.

I've heard it's surprisingly good, despite the anime version adding WAYYYYY more porn to it. I guess it's surprisingly open minded about trans stuff and sexuality in general? Haven't followed it myself.

The characters look WAY too young for me to not side eye anyone watching it though. Like no matter how funny it is considering how explucit I've heard it gets that's a big loving yikes.

Edit: cynic in me says Pat's throwing a bone to all the paedophiles he pissed off a few weeks back.

According to someone in discord the manga is mostly them talking poo poo and getting into arguments in a pub and doesn't show anything explicit? Then the anime is like 60% softcore porn with :aatrek: poo poo. Which I dunno sounds like a really bad adaptation to me!

I quite like Matt's Wha Happun stuff but that's the only solo stuff from any of them I like. Pat and Woolie have cohosts a lot so I tend to watch more of them than anyone.

Solo streams or LPs have always been kinda poo poo though.

I just started watching Woolie's DOOM LP, holy poo poo that intro. The concentrated Auntie Energy made me ascend to a higher plane.

Woolie's hype reactions are unmatched, and Reggie riding shotgun only adds to it. This is going to be a great series. Excited for Vanquish too.

I cant stop losing it at the intro. Just "O-oooh!" at the end gets me everytime.

Edit: I was always a little bummed the Zaibatsu only did a oneshot on Doom 2016 but drat this Woolie and Reggie run is worth the wait.

Lol at people who think this is solely on Nomura, the eternal scapegoat.

I mean to be fair the things people are getting mad about are things Nomura loves putting in his games so I imagine he is a big part of it. That said it's all done so well here I'm like, who could reasonably care, it loving owns.

Hah, I just watched the last few episodes of MHA S4, and I spent most of them muttering "stop trying to redeem this lovely rear end in a top hat." I mean, I'm glad Endeavour is trying to turn his life around, but gently caress him forever.

What I've seen of Sasuke in Boruto, he seems a lot better and recognizes how much of a poo poo he was as a kid, but it's still amazing that everyone is okay with him after all he did.

I mean I feel like the bolded is the important distinction with Sasuke. He defected at like 12/13 and by the end of Naruto he was like 15/16. "I was a traumatised child soldier" is probably one of the best excuses anyone can have for bad behaviour. It's still creepy Sakura and Karin are into him after the murder attempts, but I can get like letting him be otherwise.

Orochimaru is the weird one, though I guess the ninja countries all decided to blank slate their war crimes against each other and he (or is it they now?) got included in that.

So the thread melted down because nerds are inherently reactionaries but the gist of it is SWERY changed a line or two and LKD, a trans journalist, wrote that she didn't think the changes were sufficient to deal with the issue, wherein he targeted her specifically and said she was trying to control his game and characters.


being trans and having liked swery in general, this loving sucks

as, apparently, do quite a few of you, though that isn't a surprise

I mean her argument seems to be "no dead naming ever, even when it makes sense story, context and character wise" which seems... absurd?

There are other issues with DP2's script that I agree with the criticisms of (the trans character having a bunch of dumb tropes around corruption, incest and sex and the father having a deathbed attempt at redemption that is thoroughly unearned being the two big ones off the top of my head) but the stance on deadnaming seems profoundly restrictive. Like if a show depicts deadnaming as good or acceptable, then yeah, rip into that poo poo. But that doesn't really seems to be where DP2 is at, especially with the changes.

Edit: ZenMasterBullshit refusing to take the L when someone pointed out LKD wasn't the one who lost her poo poo about Red Strings Club is pretty lmao though.

Ugh fine, guess it's not my place to really argue on this, I'm just repeating what I've heard from other trans people I know who've played the game and think LKD's full of poo poo on this one.

Edit: To clarify full of poo poo on the absolute stance on deadnames. Not the other issues DP2 has with trans rep.

Yeah hosed up specific dog breeds are way more common, in part cause quite a few of them are former working breeds that got hosed up to varying degrees, like pugs are one thing but even like golden retreivers have significant issues from dog breeding.

Whereas most domestic cats are just random moggies, the local landrace, or a working breed which hasn't been hosed up yet. Persians and ragdolls are definitely things though. And the less said about munchkins the better.

Without context of the Kotor2 thing, I'm always going to give Canadians some liberty on the "lol america" stuff, as being a Canadian myself, we're inundated with American politics while Americans frequently know jack poo poo about ours.

There's definitely some things that can be grating (the aforementioned misrepresentation of tax brackets that kinda perpetuates that misunderstanding and just generally leaning into the "taxes bad" despite the acknowledgement that they bring us Canadians health care) but I do appreciate that at least Woolie and Pat generally try to be on the right side of social issues? (The Guilty Gear thing excluded.)

Though, I personally find V's "lol cant wait to go back to Alberta" particularly grating as a Canadian because I don't feel like taking pride in that province having lower sales tax is worthwhile given, the whole rest of the deal of that province. It also just extremely reminds me of some dipshits in my highschool who wouldn't shut up about how they couldn't wait to move out to Alberta and get rich and how it was only a matter of time till Alberta secedes.

Pat's generally on the right side of economic issues too the few times they have come up. For everything else you can knock him on he seems to reserve his big mouth and weird hangups for poo poo that doesn't actually matter like the assessment of Rare's collective works.

Gamefreak doesn't make the models for Pokemon games, Creatures Inc. does. So it's technically them who need to hire more employees.

Also, Gamefreak doesn't actually control the Pokemon IP. The Pokemon Company does, of which Gamefreak owns roughly 1/3 of and Nintendo owns about half of. And since Nintendo is the publisher of the games, they're most likely the ones that - like most other publishers - decide what games get made, when those games get released, and the budget for each game.

I'm a little skeptical cause Nintendo doesn't really treat it's other big cash cows like this? For all their myriad faults they seem fine letting things take 3 or 4 years and filling up the gap with their other IP. While they obviously aren't stopping Pokémon being run like this I doubt they're the ones pushing it just based on how they handle everything else.

This isn't a good guy Nintendo post, obviously they're fine with how things are going, I just doubt they're the one forcing the pace.
