At one point or another, the community had angrily rallied against pretty much everything that is now in the game. People have been incredibly over-protective since the game was announced, the nature of it just changes with the game itself. 

A tear runs down my cheek seeing what the game has become, it really does. I get that the original idea for what this game could be just couldn’t work for whatever reason, but goddamn do I wish it had. They asked the community what it wanted, and of course it was all the things people had seen in other games; of…

We don’t report things from that perspective because it’d be absolutely ridiculous and irresponsible to do so, obviously. 

There exists no toilet paper quilted enough to prevent u/Spez from leaving skid marks all over Reddit. As long as Reddit has one of the wettest pieces of shit on the internet running the show, the stink is always going to be an issue.

I’m a sucker for an overworld. It’s a simple concept that just grabs me every time, regardless of whether or not I’m otherwise interested in the game. Luckily, I’m very interested in this one. 

My favorite Vikings are the ones with modern, trendy haircuts. 

Publicity stunt? An attempt to draw a settlement before anything reaches court? A bitter streamer venting frustration?

They needed the extra year to ensure the grappling hook looked sufficiently stupid. 

Let me get one small thing out of the way first. Anyone who fights for better working conditions puts their job at risk. Implying that it’s unreasonable in this instance is absurd.

Impotence is baked into every one of these sorts of Twitch protests, and everyone is aware of that. But the show must go on. Gotta monetize that righteous indignation before someone else does.

As much as I love LeVar, Ken is a natural. Either one would have been miles better than this sentient jar of Miracle Whip.

Next time, chickity check yourself before you attempt to Trebek yourself, Mike. What a tool.

“Just live somewhere cheaper!” is almost always a bad take. He likes living in Los Angeles, and can afford to continue to do so. Good for him. He brought the criticism on himself with his years of red hot rhetoric, but that doesn’t make any of it reasonable. 

Regardless of his politics, his hustle has been apparent for at least as long as I’ve known who he is. I like the guy, but he’s very much of the Twitch glitterati ilk whether his die hard followers want to hear it or not. Dude acquired some wealth and bought a mansion. I don’t see him bitching about having to pay…

Yes. Yes, please. I don’t care if it ends up being mediocre, I just want to walk around its world and pretend I’m a cross between Rick Deckard and Matt Dillon.

I don’t have an opinion on BFV at all?

What argument? I’m talking about Acti’s bullshit, and how utterly token this all seems on account of that. I think there’s a good argument that these games push a very American vision of diversity, but that’s another discussion entirely.

Maybe others have a different opinion, but Activision pushing diversity so hard here really rubs me the wrong way given the controversy surrounding their shitty corporate culture. It just reeks of tokenism.

I think people overestimate just how connected the decision makers at Twitch are to the community at large. From everything I’ve heard, the Amazon purchase created a real disconnect.

Then form a guild, if you want to be pedantic. The idea that streamers have no bargaining power is utter nonsense. Whether or not they’d be able to use that bargaining power to great effect is another story, but if streamers want to sit at the grown-ups table, that’s what has to happen. Until then, we’re just going to…
