Hello new thread! There's a LOT of cool looking recommendations. I have some subscribing to do.

7th place is a bit of a shame, being just out of the European places. Still, we go again and I'm sure that procrastination will take me even higher this time around.

I wanna stick a lil' list of my own in but YT seems very well covered. How do folks feel about some Twitch recommendations - is that good for the thread? That's a lot of what I look at now as I'm pretty much half video creator and half streamer. No obvious poo poo, all good people.

Man I have to ask but is Guru Larry turning into a chud?

The last video I watched from him was about characters having their names changed for "stupid" reasons and one of the examples he cites is a character renamed for the west because the name was insulting to Native Americans the character was named Brave Heart. ) He doesn't really harp on it too much but it stood out more that he didn't elaborate at all.

Surprisingly his video about three times journalism lied about videogames wasn't that way though as it was three Jack Thompson type scandals.

I'm still leaning no but that was a heck of a slipup.

Hahahahahhahahahahahaha

...Sorry, I didn't think this would come up lol

Anyhoo, short answer: No, definitely not. I mean I guess I'm biased as he's a friend and frequent collaborator and all that but Larry isn't a chud at all. He doesn't have much at all in the way of big political opinions really.

The more detailed answer is that in that specific video, which is a collab between Larry and DJ Slope, there was at one point a fair bit more of an explanation going into said name change in Crystal Castles...however, a few days ago there was a bit of an audio problem, in that the music used for half of that section landed DJ Slope with a copyright strike on his channel. Larry's solution (understandably) was to go into the YouTube Editor and cut out the whole bit with said music in it. So unfortunately the segment in said video as it is now is kinda incomplete and it just stops after revealing the name change. I didn't see it before then so I dunno about the content that's not there anymore.

Nah that was totally fine words that I saw, fleetingly. We've talked about it a bit. Not to go into detail but he's in much more of a better place now than he was a few years ago.

What's probably worth mentioning too is that Larry's channel is in many ways quite a collaborative effort and there's more than just himself working on the scripts/editing. Not that he really pretends otherwise tbh, he'll always say if asked.

Can I still make fun of this particular segment of the Beanie Babies video?

*Joe Biden voice* Come On Man, at least ADD some pics of Beanies on this sentence you're saying. Jeez!

hahaha

I mean, it's kinda my fault in that I should have done the appropriate editing on my own script before Larry voiced it. It's all a bit of an odd situation that one, as I do occasionally get people showing Larry's vid to me saying that he's flagrantly ripped my Beanie Babies vid off! (the simplest solution would have been to put my vid on his channel of course, but Larry had had quite a few nasty comments over doing that with other vids at the time, so we kind of ended up with this meet in the middle-type thing. All works out fine in the end.)

Probably fine to just skip those bits at least!

It's kind of a done thing I guess. Like no one in their right mind would ever make their own puff pastry but you'd probably have people complaining if you didn't do it every so often. Even though they aren't going to loving do it either because it's hard, messy, takes tons of time and is utterly pointless.

Cooking content has always been very aspirational in nature, more than educational. Wouldn't it be great to have enough time to just idle away the hours in the kitchen, making your own pasta, bread, pastry, pie crusts, pizza bases or whatever? To spend hours and hours lovingly making something from scratch? Possibly with a lovinglty cut bit of meat you chose from the local butcher down the cobblestone road that's seemingly always draped in sunlight?

Of course in reality no-one actually has that time so they'll have to make some substitutes. I think generally he's good with that. Definitely better than some. Again, people really get antsy when you DON'T do all these things. I remember when Delia Smith, who is as legendary a name in UK TV cookery as it gets, made a series a while back where she *shock* used ingredients that came out of tins and were even *gasp* ready-made. People were loving RAGING.

When I first saw Matty Matheson on Munchies I had quite a visceral dislike of him, like OH GOD he's trying too hard and all that poo poo. Then I actually watched his vids and now I absolutely freaking love the guy.

Food don't half look amazing either.

I've followed Gita Jackson on Twitter for years and in that time she has to have been one of the most leftie people I've followed. Unlike the other topic of conversation here, she has also created things of actual worth. But hey, leave it to Peter to pull something entirely out of their arse and accuse her essentially of believing in nothing, getting in with THE BREADTUBE ELITE and playing the race card in order to better her position (and just for a cherry on top, that being the main reason why she was in a relationship with Hbomb). What a truly disgusting and horrible person they are.

I suppose it's easier to pull these lies out and accuse someone of things that you do as opposed to realising that people don't accept you because they see you for what you are and despise you for it.

Coffin made a show of blocking every major "BREADTUBE L33T" account on Twitter. Now they appear to be 1: complaining that they noticed they were blocked and 2: Saying that there's some sort of groupchat conspiracy when they all seemingly coordinate their "PETER BLOCKED ME" replies. It couldn't possibly be more to do with following each other or anything like that, no sirree. They had to have been scheming away in double-quick time! Joel posts at 3PM, Shaun at 3:10, Harry at 3:15 -- all in an attempt to put a black eye on ol' Peter again.

It's kinda funny. We start with implying that someone's slept their way to high profile positions, and now we're moving on to private WhatsApp groups or whatever. I'm loathe to say the dreaded word, but is Peter going through the GamerGater playbook? It's like we've moved from "Five Guys" directly to "GameJournosPro". And everyone coordinating their responses to Peter blocking them, just like those drat journalists all posted those "Gamers are over" articles one after the other.

Alan Partridge is great but the humour/character is based on him being the cringiest person possible. To do an Alan Partridge is not necessarily good.

This question has been on my mind for months now, and so far googling hasn't giving me much in terms of updates. It is not Zack Snyder/Boogie/Spoony discourse.

Has there been anything recent about the Angry Joe accusations? I can't seem to find anything other than the accusation and the legal speak Angry Joe posted about his version of events. I'd like to know more but so far it seems to be walled off by months of nothing. I browsed the threads often but I didn't see anything like ex Channel Awesome workers talking about it or anything. Even checking the precursory twitter of the accuser doesn't give me anything. So did it all just, not go anywhere?

Don't believe it went anywhere at all. Doesn't look like it will either, I'm not sure where else it could go.

I mean, the guy's videos are completely benign and inoffensive. They're not exactly worth watching unless you want to see a really rich dude go about on booster boards, use drones to the point of them becoming a meme and review first class flights but obviously a lot of people do want to see that.

He's made a tweet thread saying that what he *meant* was closer to "what time in history is the most interesting to you" which...er, hey-ho I guess -- I mean, that's a better way of looking at it but it's not all that clear. I wish to god that these blueticks would just take the L and accept the roasting from time to time -- just actually say that you made a cock up, for crying out loud. I'm not about to actively dislike Casey Neistat for being today's dumb comment Internet Person and I doubt too many others are because he's hardly insidious or toxic or much at all.

Lots of gammon now milling about in the replies hoping for him to say something about all this cancel culture or offended snowflakes or whatever, it's embarrassing. He's not cancelled, no one is cancelling him. He just said something dumb on the Internet.
