When you win so hard that people a literal ocean away need therapy about it.
Eh, I disagree with some of that.
That massive video game collection he owned before ever becoming the angry video game nerd flies in the face of him not loving games, and it was also impossible to predict that a funny video he made on the internet 2 decades ago would later become his main source of income.
Calling his persona a "ruse" is also odd because it was rarely meant to be taken very seriously to begin with. Its clearly a show for entertainment, he's not a game journalist or anything.
As for his autobiography, I dunno anything about that, but I know he's got plenty of content on YT already talking about his AVGN stuff as it is and how important it was to him, it seems like people just want the guy to be 100% AVGN all the time.
He also is playing games he hasn't played before, and seems to be enjoying them in some cases. You can't watch something like his Earthbound video and say he doesn't at least still have some fondness for video games after that, and that was a video made after what most people would consider his decline.
The guy has basically never given a political opinion, or for that matter, expressed hatred towards any group of people. The closest he ever did to giving a political opinion was refusing to watch Ghostbusters because it was just complete dogshit.
Living up to his savage heritage, but it doesn't make any fucking sense for that to be a fucking "mitigating factor".
It'll still be an ongoing war, some victories and some defeats are expected.
What's heartening is that more and more people seem to be fighting back as time goes on.
This kind of thing won't just "go away" though. Its the result of machinations that have been going on for over a century now, and there are certain pandora's boxes that have already been opened that can't be returned and shut. However, there will probably be a period of time where things are pretty good and we'll get some good products in certain fields.
Given Trump's history of God-awful appointments, and current rumors that he will give Pompeo a cabinet level position, it's not a stupid thing to worry about.
That's not really the point I was making. Americans don't give a shit about VP picks, its just a simple fact. Almost nobody ever knows who the VPs were before they were chosen. Ask a random American to name a VP before the year 2000 off the top of their head (excluding Gerald Ford and Al Gore for obvious reasons) and they probably wouldn't be able to do it. I had never heard of Vance nor Walz before they were chosen, and the same applied for Pence back in 2016.
As for Trump's appointments, yeah, there's a major risk there, that has little to do with the OP's question about whether the VP choice impacted people's votes. Trump would have to do something monstrously stupid for the VP pick to impact people's votes, like picking fucking Fauci as his VP or something.
Also, when I argued with him on behalf of Trump, most people here upvoted him and downvoted me.
You think I give a shit about the upvotes/downvotes of arguments on the internet? Don't attribute the random mass retardation of imbeciles to me when my opinion is clearly fucking different than what you're describing, unless me calling the guy a fearmongering retard wasn't fucking enough for you to comprehend that.
Why? You worry about mine.
All I know is that you live somewhere in Europe, and I don't generally care about their elections outside of a passing glance at the results, and I certainly don't get involved in any major discussions about their shit. The biggest opinion I'll have on it is "good for them" when shit works out or "that's a shame" when it doesn't.
You mean the fearmongering retard who spammed DeSantis shit for the longest time?
Stick to worrying about your own country's politics.
Nobody gives a shit about the vice presidents.
tfw Biden was somehow twice as popular as MUH FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT despite doing literally nothing
Nah, that requires work that he CBA to do.
I mean, yeah. America, Japan, and the UK to a lesser extent are basically where the foundations of video games were laid.
username is Japanese characters
but his comment shitting on Japan is entirely in English
Really activates the almonds...
Been tearing through some old pokemon stuff lately. Did a pokemon romhack (Unbound), Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team (nowhere near as good as Explorers), and I replayed Black.
Might do some of the Phoenix Wright games next. I've played through 1 already, plan to do 2 and 3. Either that or replay PMD Explorers.
They're more like the "weird" paper, I would call them somewhere in the middle personally.
They never should have in the first place. The press has been cancer ever since it was formed. Look at what they did to someone like George Washington. If they could do that to someone like him, they can (and will) do it to anyone. The romantic archetype they crafted for themselves in the 20th century as some kind of "truth-seeking man of integrity" never existed.
Considering how fucked South Korea is in terms of gender politics and ideology (much more so than even the west), I don't blame the men there for taking extreme positions.
Where do you see that? I'm not seeing it on Twitter.
Lol, apparently it looks like she deleted it before I could archive it.
Here's the copy-pasted text I still have on my nitter page:
Rebecca @Blondes_tweets 12m
I’d also like to offer some transparency because this will be discussed on Matt’s solo show tomorrow; this is pretty much all I want to say about it, though.
After a spat resulting from my tardiness when I tore a ligament in my foot on Wednesday, Matt called me today and flatly issued me three terms:
In order to continue to appear with me in the future, I would have to take a pay cut from 50/50 to 60/40, to stay for the duration of reading superchats instead of putting my children to bed, and to increase my work and effort level on the show.
I have done considerably less work on the show than Matt. This has always been the case, as he retains the majority of creative control. However, the last few years, I have become bored with the news cycle and I think it has been obvious to the audience.
I suggested that I pick and populate half of the topics, split the proceeds 55/45 in his favor and we continue to work together. I was rejected and was told that his family’s livelihood cannot be gambled on me.
His ultimatum was completely fair. I do less work. But I resented being given an ultimatum and list of terms, as well as my offer being denied.
I am very sorry about this. So, I suppose, it is true that I quit, but not without impetus. It is also true that I did not want to do a final stream where we squabbled over the details of our parting.
Please understand that this was not because I don’t love the audience or think that I don’t owe you an explanation. I merely found the idea so uncomfortable that I didn’t want to do it.
No matter what is said about me on tomorrow’s stream, I am not going to respond so as not to drag this out further. I’ve also been asked to not speak in the chat again.
Once again, thank you for your years of support and I hope this has shed some light on what happened.
Honestly, I'm shocked there are that many people who unironically signed this.
While I understand people hating Trump (in the sense that they've been constantly bombarded with nonstop propaganda for nearly a decade now), I can't understand people unironically liking Kamala Harris. She was the most unlikable, least-voted for candidate in the primaries, and everyone fucking hated everything about her even on the democrat side.
I never really followed them much, I watched a few of Matt's videos a few years ago and then stopped because I didn't have much interest, ironically in part because of what the chick said here: News reaction channels are a dime a dozen, and while Matt was the best of the bunch in terms of reasonableness, it gets hard to give a fuck after seeing the same bullshit over and over again in slightly different contexts.
This seems like some weird, very minor drama to me, dunno why she framed her tweet in such a way. It started out amicable and then acted like Matt almost forced her to keep doing the same thing they were already doing for 8 years to this point. No need for such grandstanding if its just you getting tired of doing something. I guess that's women for ya, even the "based" ones often have some kind of issues. Doesn't help that she seems like a blowhard. I also fail to see how continuing as she already was would "compromise her principles", but whatever.
Edit: Apparently there's been an update from the chick's side. Suddenly it makes more sense why this parting was not as amicable as it should have been, apparently it was over a pay/work dispute between them.
Not even mere indifference is allowed in the UK it seems.
I'm unsurprised, but really he should have just kept his mouth shut on the issue.
Nobody besides terminally online people give a shit about his opinion on Palestine/Israel.
I hope it was for a good reason like maintaining opsec.
Japanese people generally don't want to rock the boat, and artists in general don't handle being attacked well. Japanese artists are especially sensitive.
I remember following this one Japanese artist I really liked on Patreon for years, and a single guy on there criticized his work; the artist felt so bad afterwards that he took down the whole Patreon immediately after that.
Its the fear of becoming old and not "with it" anymore, lel.
Police picked up Soren and then dropped him off at home before returning hours later to arrest Patterson.
What is this UK-tier bullshit? I guess kids won't be able to walk to school at this rate. It's a shame too because freedom as a kid was a nice feeling, coming from someone who grew up in a suburb. I had a nice park nearby and walked to school every day until high school, plus if I really had the dedication, I could walk to farther places like the game stores and whatnot, was great.
