This might be the worst video about the US election I've found.

The beginning is so loving funny. The media always calls the election before the official count does (apart from 2000 when it was one incredibly close state).

edit: lmao he shows a stock market chart yet doesn't notice the trajectory was the same under Trump as it was under Obama. This has gotta be a bit I just didn't get.

I always think of his song "What If Civilization Had Lyrics?" when the song (Baba Yetu) not only had lyrics (the Lord's Prayer in Swahili) but it also won a Grammy.

It's ridiculous how these people can pull this off. Dinesh D'Souza does the same thing - whenever you see some serious scholar in his flicks they didn't sit down knowing it was for a Dinesh "documentary". Also happened with the one and only correct Prager U video (the one about why the Civil War was fought).

It's funny that the WWI tweet gets the most response because Caesar's Gallic Wars are one of the first recorded genocides. Like a lot of nerds I was/am very into Roman history and reading the Commentarii de Bello Gallico cemented in my head the notion that the Romans were wolves by the lake ("They make a desert and call it peace").

As diseased as it is to make a defense of the prequels I'd hate to come across the brain that defends the Matrix sequels. At least the prequels are good for memes.

That's one of the scenes that makes them bad (when it turns unnecessarily into full CGI and he just flies away anyway). Burly Brawl is an amazing song though.

I've never been able to stand these kinds of prank shows. Mockumentaries with actors are one thing, but anything involving real people who aren't in on the joke makes me cringe way too much to laugh.

I think part of it is he's the one that got Hasan into streaming and then Hasan got more popular than him (because Hasan's hot) and so he lashed out at his leftie viewers.

It's always weird to go "why is anyone following this guy?" when the reason it's such a big deal they're having such a dogshit take is they normally tweet good stuff. That's why people were following him - he tweeted good things.

It's like when a non-political creator dips their toes in the water of politics and comes off like a moron. Nerd City makes great videos (with insane production) but then they pinched this loaf off yesterday:

McInnes was deplatformed BECAUSE of his insane fringe positions. He was engaging in Holocaust denial at the same time he was sometimes guest hosting for Steven Crowder's "mainstream" channel.

poo poo the take in that screenshot IS the mainstream conservative position on the election. Also maybe question if your take is good if Count Dankula is in the replies agreeing.

I love the reactionaries whining about game reviews when the real travesty is one of the all time greatest games (New Vegas) ended up with an 84 on metacritic mostly due to bugs screwing Obsidian out of a bonus mostly when this game is buggy to the point people are calling it unfinished and currently sits at 90.

Groovelord Neato

Of course it wasn't but New Vegas isn't an 84 and it sucks they missed out on the bonus due to bugs when a far buggier game is reviewing better.

Bakeneko posted:

What reviews are these? Most of the ones I’ve seen have been glowing.

I’ve barely scratched the surface of the game so it’s not like I can give it a full review myself, but I can say I’m loving it so far. No game could ever hope to live up to 5 years of hype, and Witcher 3 was the toughest possible act to follow, but I’d say it was definitely worth the wait if a few launch bugs are the worst people can find to say about it.

It's not a few launch bugs lol

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.

I thought the point of Lonesome Road was you had no idea what happened or what you'd "done" because it was a just a seemingly inconsequential delivery job you'd done.

It did put me in the mood to play some NV. But I'm dreading needing to faff around with mods to get it working and stable, even if it's relatively straightforward. Also I still need to finish 4 first...

This'll be wild considering I posted my Steam screenshot where I have almost 200 hours played - I've never used mods.

For Main New Vegas really wish there was a way to do Kings and Followers ending (not independent); hell that's another thing hbomb missed, the two best factions in the game!

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'm not really a fantasy guy (despite my name and being a slut for From Software) so it was cool having one of those open world first person games that was guns and sci-fi and poo poo but really looking back it's just "I'm glad this existed so New Vegas could be made".
