This show was already crazy woke! Like in the first season that bearded psych doctor there, already has like 99 adopted kids of course supremely diverse and gay, and he's gay. The black heart surgeon, has like a stable of 3 black female heart surgeons as his team. So many episodes about trans kids, trans rights. I thought it was the wokest shit on TV and that was .. 3 years ago?
This is hilarious. Even if it turns out to be a parody episode, it's really not that different from the normal show.
Their audience used to be 'right wing' dudes. They are just trying to peel some away from a larger source. Think of these 2 chicks as flailing while they are drowning, trying to snag some relevance. They showed too many times that they have no real principles.
Star Wars, please go away for awhile. You smell like garbage.
Gimme a real Heir to the Empire, or a sequel that starts right after ep 6, so we can change the fucking trajectory in a proactive retcon.
Most indie games aren't destroying or derailing beloved brands. I think that alone gives them an air of goodwill. It's easier to avoid an indie title that is rancid with post-modern garbage.
Will Wight's Cradle series, starts with Unsouled. It's kinda like if a kung fu muggle adventures in a brutal world, surviving and advancing thru drive and craftyness.
There's Joe Abercrombie's First Law books, starts with The Blade Itself. Great trilogy if you haven't read it. Low magic, grimdark. (alright so these are like 16 years ago)
If you just want weird and hilarious, there's the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. Earth gets conquered by aliens, turned into a fantasy gameshow dungeon for the galaxy to watch.
D4 is just not very good. It's pretty. There's some quality animations and sounds. The abilities are lacking. Everything is so mundane, even once you pump it with points/items. The item properties were transparently stuffed with bad properties. At least make them somewhat desirable. Nope, shit like 'extra % damage at night when you are leaping off a cliff fighting slime class mobs using arcane', levels of specific.
BfA was when I quit as well. Every class felt the same. The XP squish and ability pruning was a fucking death blow to the fun. It also didn't help that Legion was up there with my favorite xpac, so it was just night and day unfun. The in-your-face BfA timesinks, recycled mechanics, loss of... everything was too much. I didn't even hit the level cap. They were too stingy on giving you any new abilities, talents, ANYTHING.
Everyone gotta stop making excuses for D4. It looks nice, but it has no legs. There's not enough choice, there's very little mastery, out of the big 3 themes a game needs, it only scores somewhat high on immersion. (choice, mastery, immersion are key to the best games)
Anyhow BfA popped up in a random convo I had the other day, and I saw you mention it here. I am still salty about it haha! I tried the Shadowlands beta but, meh. I was just done. The love was lost.
This chanting clip will wake up so many more slop eaters. Anytime you can really mock something it dislodges NPC mentality. It's why the censors go after the memes first.
We have meme at home quality, but accurate.
Their schooling has been anti-intellectual, and their social media content is so extremely curated they literally have no idea of what's going on. Yah, they've gotten a lot dumber.
Also half of them are on meds.
Nice city you have there.
I watched his convo with Lauren Chen. Complete low info neolib. Still believes in every CNN headline. My guess is he's on a paid/pac social media tour. Basically same handlers as Destiny, JerseyJo (whatever the fuck her name is) Rappaport, and BrooklynDad. Trying to sheepdog in some new establishment-approved direction.
Hunter is probably going to (be) disappear (ed?). Then the global corpo news will pull the 'Far-right drives suffering good boy to suicide.' headlines until the election.
The new theocracy conquers another corporate territory. You can wear a pride flag any time of the year at their locations, but the US flag only on holidays or memorials. That's like foreign soil rules. These pride zealots once again showing they are trying to form Gomorrahstan or something. They should be treated as expats or illegals.
In my opinion, Comicstorian wasn't woke as a person. He was woke as part of his business product, with Disney buying his YouTube channel. He towed the corporate line. He was openly against canceling/guilt by association, at least before Disney made him rich (not saying he changed for the worse, just I am ignorant to his content after CG kinda solidified).
Maybe he went woke, I don't know I didn't really watch his stuff, BUT before Disney bought his channel, he was one of the only comics sphere / YouTube guys who defended EVS from the cancel mob. Like publically. Later, instead of throwing EVS and CG under the bus, when he was negotiating with Disney, he gave them a heads-up that he wouldn't be associating. Instead of doing the usual disavow + apology or whatever.
So, maybe he did go woke, but he had integrity. RIP.
*editing to add that I would wager money that Disney made/influenced him do the woke content. They were his bosses after he sold his brand. Which would make me have to retract the 'integrity' label. So I'll say he had honor instead. At least as far as not joining the mob vs EVS and YBZ during the 2018-2019 canceling.
It must be so great to work at the Israeli Wire
I think there are a few different sects in the normie retard tribe.
-
Defend the brand! Something was popular and feminized into a lifestyle brand (Marvel, HP, Twitch), they made it their identity, now it must be defended no matter how shit it gets.
-
If the chuds hate it... Tribal warfare, they don't even watch or read the thing, they just know the wrong people are attacking it, so it must be defended.
-
The default; Consume product get excited for more product. The typical tourist. Something got popular and they want in on it.
As we move into the corporate wars era, with like actual digital combat, I can't imagine having a node like this would last long. It's a huge vulnerability. I guess it makes things efficient for apps and environments, but it would be a nightmare to protect in megacorp v megacorp blackops.
It'll probably end up like most things. The elites will have different rules and the peasants will have the burden of vulnerabilities and surveillance. It'll be a way to further solidify caste structure in a global, digital world.
Upside! Is maybe something like this gets some competition going again for rival OS's. The only reason I haven't switched over to Linux is laziness. I just.. It's too fiddly for EVERYTHING. Windows and OSX are just easy.
I'm rooting for AJ to give them nothing. An untimely fire and boating accident doing away with his possessions. Move to Brazil or something and start a new studio. They are trying to make sure he has nothing, so give them nothing in return.
I think it appeals to people who are always thnking of ways to be more efficient. Which is ironic, since games are ultimately a waste of time. (I know from extensive time wasted) But... So are most hobbies.
It's fun to optimize and solve emergent problems.
I think the low-effort commentary wave is gonna come to an end soon. These guys are going to start to lose way more subs than they are gaining. Some of them will figure out a new angle to tap into new parts of the algo, but that's just prolonging things. We're gonna move into an era where people want more polished videos and more in-depth discussion/debates. Not uninvested guy reads headline and slobs out same 10 words he always does.
Plus, YouTube is gonna start cracking down on shit hard as election ramps up, meaning a lot of these pundits are going to suddenly have even safer and non-commital opinions, with way more fluff words to not trigger auto-muzzle. I try to watch more content on Rumble, but it's hard to find stuff that isn't just mirrored from YouTube, or anything outside of politics really.
I've unsubbed from every low-effort channel. Even if I agree with their pundit takes. I'll stick around if they have good livestreams, info/edits, or talent, like a lot of the comicsgate guys, but I'm done with the endless churn of stumbling and rambling out the same tired takes.
Quarterpounder and YellowFlush are some of the most low-effort youtubers. I can't take their insipid opinions or terrible voices. They've both been at it for 10+ years and haven't learned how to be entertaining. It's all just low IQ gargling. Quartering has been milking this 'my channel is under attack' garbage since 2018
I think they made a mistake putting the really fat one on that skinny ledge. None of these are going to reproduce, so I guess they kidnap other orc tribes kids? Is this some kind of LGBTQER@@WW 'we're coming for your kids' agenda?
