So what does everyone think of Spec Ops: The Line? Just kidding, but do be sure to check out Brian David Gilbert's Unraveled videos on Polygon if you somehow haven't heard of them because they are a lot of fun.

First let me tell you where you can go to hear a long, exhaustive explanation of my political opinions. You know, just to make it sound as unappealing as possible.

MonsieurChoc posted:SRW owns and the new ones in english got some pretty good translations. Def worth playing. I know, I’m just joshing on how “long and exhaustive” was maybe not the best choice of words for convincing people to have a look. It wasn’t a bad post or anything. Jamie Faith posted:What does "Ya-yo" mean? Its sounds cool/funny but I have no idea what the pirate rappers are trying to tell me I’ve never heard it but just from reading it it kinda sounds like a bad attempt to blend ya-har and yo? Maybe they thought using yo ho ho would be too obvious?

I think there should be a special IK for this thread whose only job is to probate anybody who makes a post containing the phrase Zack Snyder. The length of the probation should be equal to 6 hours times the number of posts already on that page that also mention Snyder.

Sydin posted:Yeah the whole gimmick of this thread is that it constantly derails into talking about stuff that has nothing to do with discussing e-celebs. We really do not need somebody in here handing out a shitload of sixers because people won't stay on topic. It's not about being "on topic," it's about staying off "this topic," which "sucks rear end."

Jamie Faith posted:Quinton Reviews has a new video on the bizarre and obscure early 2000s Nickelodeon show "Mr. Meaty" Jesus, Nickelodeon? I have the vaguest memories of seeing part of an episode when I was a kid and I found it so scary and offputting that up until now I assumed it was an Adult Swim or MTV show that I had accidentally stumbled upon. In fact, I thought it was a Wonder Showzen skit.

Jamie Faith posted:Q man didn't even talk about the weirdest episode imo. There was an episode that had vegans who were also cannibals that tried to eat one of the main characters. Yeah, I'd say this show contains an extremely unusual amount of human flesh getting eaten. Cannibalism is part of it, but there was also the people getting eaten by gorillas (which Quinton described as cannibalism but I do not think that is accurate) and that lady's nose getting eaten by a rat.

I've never watched the Basics ones but, during the Binging ones, I like when he goes to all the trouble of making an ingredient from scratch and still admits in the end that it wasn't worth the time and effort compared to buying it premade.

DC Murderverse posted:You can always pick and choose what parts of his recipe you want. I’m probably gonna make that Bolognese recipe this weekend but definitely not my own pasta, it will be just fine with a good dry pasta Yeah, the alternative to this is that he points out that you can also buy (thing) in a store of you want every time he makes an ingredient from scratch, which seems unnecessary.

I can't remember if it was this thread or the meme thread that introduced me to tomatoanus today. If it was this thread: thanks, this is cool! If it was the meme thread: check him out, he makes cool speedrun videos! I hope he isn't a weird bigot like a lot of speedrunners seems to be for some reason!

I remember I once saw a cool picture of a prop cop car from the alternate New York in the Super Mario Bros. movie. It had a thing sticking off the top of it to connect it to a power line like a cable car, because in the alternate universe the dinosaurs never died out, so OBVIOUSLY there’s no oil and therefore no gas. Ever since I saw that I’ve found myself imagining a Super Mario Oddyssey world based on the aesthetics of that movie.

Garrand posted:I don't know if LockPickingLawyer really gets posted here but I wanted to post this specifically because of how hard I laughed at the pivot towards the end Releasing the video where he announces the new site and says that the next bunch of videos will be showing off stuff from the site on the same day as the first of those videos was probably a bad idea. Especially since it means that the second one shows up in people’s feeds above the first. I had the same experience and it was kinda jarring. Apparently he has now retired from law to do lock stuff full time. His channel is really good so I’m glad it’s been such a success for him.

I haven’t watched Mandalorian but isn’t their armor a cultural, ceremonial sort of thing? Don’t they wear it literally all of the time? In that case it would make some sense for women and men to have different base shapes for their armor, as long as both are practical, which seems to be the case. There’s this blog I like called Bikini Armor Battle Damage that posts about different women’s armor designs, specific reasons why some are bad, and every so often does cool redraws on bad designs. Be warned though: some of these “armor” designs are REALLY skimpy, so don’t go browsing this at work or your grandma’s house or whatever.

The Shame Boy posted:Can't believe they had Yako Warner do a big musical number about how great Medicare for All is actually a great idea at the end of the new Anamaniacs! Now that the left have introduced this idea to our children in the form of catchy show tunes they can....do what exactly? If we expose our children to the idea that it's good to take care of people's medical needs, it's only a matter of time before they end up being kind and considerate in all aspects of their life. In other words: weak! This is not acceptable!

THAT’S what “mutual” means? Jesus christ! Based on how people use it I thought it was a synonym for “friend” or “colleague” or at the very least “person that I know.” Why are people using a term that means “someone who follows a person on Twitter that I also follow” that way? That’s horrible.

Jamie Faith posted:I love the Blue Coins in Sunshine. Sunshine has much denser levels than 64 and Blue Coins really emphasize that imo. I agree with this person that the save prompt that pops up every time is annoying but disagree with the notion that they're "mandatory". You don't have to get every Blue Coin/Shine Sprite in order to beat the game. You only need them if you're doing 100% completion so complaining that you need to collect everything in a game in order to get 100% completion is kind of silly to me personally. Alltho I get their main problem with BCs is that some of them are tedious to find and I admit I don't have that problem because I still have my old Prima Strategy Guide that has a checklist for each BC which makes each one harder to miss. Sure you don’t have to get every shine. That doesn’t mean it’s not a problem for a gameplay element to make the game super unfun to play that way if that’s the way you want to play it. I guess I don’t really get what your point is. EDIT: Also, the video totally covers this. Getting all of the shines should be fun. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a challenge only for the most dedicated of players. The guy in the video says that he always goes for all the stars in 64 and Galaxy because they’re fun to get, but doesn’t in Sunshine because getting them all there is just tedious. That’s a problem. Frankly, I don’t really understand the purpose of the blue coins only being there for certain shines. If they’re supposed to encourage exploration, why would you want it to be possible for a person to explore an area and not be able to get the coin that’s sometimes there?

Groovelord Neato posted:It's not really a backstory in the strictest sense. You delivered something in the past and moved on unless I'm forgetting something. You also didn't know what the platinum chip you were delivering was and it got you "killed" and set off the whole game. It’s still a ton more than in the base game, where the backstory you’re given amounts to “you are a courier who was hired to deliver the Platinum Chip and got shot over it.” Everything else is left up to you including how long you have been a Courier, where you came from, what the job means to you, and so on. Then at the eleventh hour Lonesome Road comes along and is like no, you’re THIS courier and you ran this VERY SPECIFIC AND IMPORTANT route and you made this FATEFUL DELIVERY and yadda yadda ya. It’s easy enough to ignore, but it just seems so odd to me that they would do that after giving you such an open-ended start and then not addressing your backstory at all for the entire base game and three DLCs. Very strnage choice.

Terrible Opinions posted:Why do they key doing that poo poo in games with player created characters? Probably because giving the player an engaging and believable role in the story is pretty hard when they don’t have a set personality or backstory, and is much much easier when they are the world’s most generic video game protagonist with the world’s most generic motiviation like in Fallout 4.

dmboogie posted:fallout 3 definitely has stuff to enjoy in it but the "sure i'm immune to radiation but it's ~your destiny~ to go into this radioactive room and heroically die" bit might be the dumbest writing choice in any rpg I seem to recall that the game started without even that and it was only added after people started asking “why can’t I send my radiation-proof friend into the radiation-filled chamber to do the thing that needs doing when I already did exactly that earlier in the main questline?” like they just didn’t think of it. Is that true, or am I misremembering? Ariong fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Dec 23, 2020 |

This last episode has some of the stars that he was the least sure he would be able to get, including one for which he had to recruit the irreplacable Pannenkoek just to find a possible route.

Right now Jerma is going through an ordeal where he bet 500 million community subs that he wouldn’t miss a shot in Noita, and he did, and now his chat is holding the $2,500,000,000 debt over his head. He did a stream starring his his dog in exchange for, if I recall correctly, $375,000,000 worth of debt relief. Most recently, he made a bet on a video game wrestling match that if he had lost he would have had to do a stream dressed as a catboy, but since he won he got a full billion taken off. Then he went double or nothing and lost, so now he owes that billion again and has to do two catboy streams. I’m really enjoying the debt arc.
