Sweeny’s long game is both incredibly obvious, and wildly esoteric.

I absolutley love how these people are talking about twitch likes its some high minded lecture circuit or something that needs to be protected from this vulgarity. It’s a bunch of maladjusted weirdos yelling at video games. If anything women in hot tubs will class the place up a bit.

Yeah, go back to giving it to the real heros of twitch, the countless interchangeable white guys who've got ideas about how to solve social issues while dropping a few n-bombs during Fortnite or whatever fucking shooty bang bang is big right now.

FEEEEEEEEMALE

“Others have expressed concern that these broadcasts steal viewers from more deserving streamers”

watching a hot girl on a bikini vs watching a neckbeard getting beaten by 11 year olds on videogames? difficult choice.

Oh buzz off, loser. Twitch has been about live-streaming from the chat, and has been about appealing to audiences for what they’re looking like from the start. It began as a live-streaming IRL site, they added video games, and it has moved back and forth being about videogames and about chatting about art and music,…

This loop of “women showing up in outwardly male dominated areas and financially succeeding which makes men get super fuckin’ butt-hurt” is just literally never going to end, is it? We’re just destined to do this forever, aren’t we?

Repeatedly bleating “simp” and “cuck” stopped getting these dudes the attention they need so it’s back to the tale as old as time: demonize the supply and not the demand for sexual gratification.

Nothing rejuvenates me like the tears of entitled male streamers who believe that they’d just be on easy street if their wacky streaming antics or supreme gaming talent didn’t have to compete with the modern innovation of... (checks notes) PG-13 grade sexual titillation

you get locked out of the trophy for not looking up the character’s skirt so you’re basically punishing players for not being creeps. There is no nuance to be had here. 

throwaways are common on /r/legaladvice, since the user usually needs to post what state they live in to get relevant advice.  At that point, it could get close to the point that they could be identified if they posted with their main account, and their history could be viewed.  There’s also the risk that the other…

My editor thought of the very good joke “despawn the police” once it was too late for me to add it, so please enjoy it as a reward for looking at the comments.

A website is not a person.

Three things to take away from this:

“We should not give this game free good publicity.”

I can’t disprove a counterfactual, and will not get bogged down in something as useless as hypothesizing about what-ifs. The facts in front of us is

As someone who’s played MTG for going on 26 years, I have absolutely zero interest in this. None whatsoever. :-(

They are very different series, I’m not really sure they can be compared at all honestly. Especially since this series was short form 5-10 minute episodes as opposed to the more standard format of the CG series. Tartakovsky has a particular style that is almost the peak form of show don’t tell (As evidenced by his…

Different scope, different format. They’re both valid and excellent interpretations of the Clone Wars for different reasons. (Also the 2D series was meant to be one part of the larger media push that included books and video games, whereas the 2008 series ran long enough to basically chronicle the whole thing in…

I’m sorry Ash but the real crime here is advocating that Bobby shouldn’t be able to afford four new Lambos this year.
