I’m not scared of Pewdiepie, I appreciate what he represents and am fascinated by YouTube in general, which is why I report on it. That said, as much as I like some of his videos, couldn’t some of your criticisms of old-school media apply to him/YouTubers as well? “grabbing onto any story they can to stay relevant”…

“me vs the media” Where have I heard this before?

I’m going to go out on a limb here and just say I’m confident a 30 times Pulitzer prize winning publication is not losing sleep over kids with webcams.

I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again, the problem wasn’t that Pewdiepie’s joke was offensive. The problem was that the joke was offensive and unfunny. You can get away with a lot of crass jokes if you’re talented enough and know how to provide the right context. Just look at It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They…

Props to him for responding to requests for comment. If nothing else, he’s recognizing it as the chance to tell his side that it’s always been.

Felix, you may not believe the things you are saying, but that does not change the fact that your audience is primarily children who may not have the cognitive dissonance to separate you from your character. For them you are normalizing those statements.

You failed to mention the most important thing that happened in this saga - everyone learning JonTron was way, way, way fucking worse. Kjellberg needs to thank his lucky stars that an even bigger fuckup happened that distracted everyone from him.

Kjlberg put that Fritz tweet as his banner picture because clearly he’s a stable and mature young man who understands the nuances of racial humor and not just another in the long line of emotionally stunted white baby men unable to handle the slightest bit of criticism.

The older I get the more I realize that was just old people fucking with us because they knew they could.

Nintendo Switch: “Zelda”

I haven’t had an issue, but was surprised the inside wasn’t lined with a layer of thin felt or something. Don’t think this would be very tough as a DIY. I assumed the glass was scratch proof or resistant.

Honestly though, for it to be scratching people’s screens, they must have the thing on the floor or must be getting…

I, too, have been fortunate to not have any of the issues described in the article. The hardware has performed flawlessly for me and I’ve been loving my experience with it. I brought it to work and some people that were on the fence about one or wanted to just fool around with one had a chance and they were very…

I think it’s worse when you know the mistakes of history and repeat them anyways. Either way, I’ve never been an early adopter. This is essentially a marketed beta, I’ll give it until holiday season before they fix the bugs. Who knows what the statistics on faulty Switches will be but repeated problems looks troubling…

I can confirm that I am still having terrible connection issues with the left joycons, but no the right. The patch was live when I unboxed it and I have tried all of the suggested steps to remedy it. I still see plenty of posts on Nintendo’s support forum and Reddit suggesting that while it fixed it for some folks,…

Wow, seeing that video of all those issues, I feel lucky that my only issue is for left joycon syncing.

Weird, I haven’t seen many make it out as the worst console of all time. Mostly people have just been pointing out the various launch issues, which happens with every console launch.

Yeah, I mean this is all from 3rd party analysis since I don’t have one yet (waiting for at least fall since they are basically launching half a system now).

I feel like if you just get a screen protector for it (which is already a good idea), then most scratches will be avoided. For now I’m just trying to be fairly gentle with placing it in and out of the dock

Here is a new one...

Same - it’s much more wiggly in that connection than I would’ve expected too, they should’ve put a little foam pad at the bottom that provides lateral support (I might try adding some myself if I start pulling it from the dock more often, I’m afraid the port at the bottom will get worn out otherwise). Plus I have…
