ask yourself: “is the crime a person did or is doing worth that person dying over?” and if the answer is no, don’t call the cops. if the answer is yes, and it’s about a video game, go fuck yourself with a tire iron. 

Actually do always use it for your alcohol purchases. If I’m just buying a case of beer or a bottle at someplace with self checkout I will generally go there. I know the attendant will be able to actually override the age restriction. In a lane you are taking up a whole staffed lane, with the off chance the person can…

These channels and websites dictate tens of millions and collectively hundreds of millions of dollars of hardware spending a year. So lots of people care. When someone goes out to build a new gaming PC, they look at benchmarks generated by these types of people. It doesnt matter if you are a veteran or a noob, you…

It goes right along with his tone-deaf defense of auctioning off the prototype cooler. “We didn’t sell it, we auctioned it for charity!” C’mon, dude.

His initial response of “well ACTUALLY we didn’t sell it, we auctioned it” was so spectacularly stupid and ill-advised that it made me actually believe him that he’s doing too much work to actually function.  

Correction 8/16/2023 1:19 p.m. ET: Clarifeid weekly video count described in the fifth paragraph belongs to Linus Media Group as a whole and updated to reflect only one weekly podcast is produced.

That’s what bugged me most. Linus’ response is easily the worst of everyone else. They all, for the most part, accepted the criticism and said they’d be better in the future. That’s fine, but most of Linus’ response was him whining about people calling him a thief.

Linus consistently painting himself as a victim in his responses is kind of tiring, too. He’s got that sad-faced woe-is-me schtick down cold.

The fact that the apology video was an EDITED video speaks volumes. Not only does Linus not understand GN’s criticisms (ethics/rushing inaccurate videos for a bottom line), but this mindset is shared by the writers, the editors, and the performers. Let’s be real, 100% this video was a performance. All this could have…

Let’s be clear, Linus was always a smarmy prick...but when you are a relative nobody, that isn’t a big deal. Once he got high on his own products, the cracks started to show. The fact that he is PROUD his shop is anti union and there are NO black on air or behind the scene talent, it solidified everything I needed to…

Its more that any critique of fascism is inherently a critique of capitalism because they’re both systems of oppression necessitating and empowering imbalances of power and wealth.

Capitalism means the exploitation of the surplus value of labour of the working class to the enrichment of property holders.

Capitalism is fascism, yo.

Fascism and capitalism are not mutually exclusive. The former often exists to protect the latter.

Capitalism(late-stage at least)and fascism tend to be bunk buddies when it comes to giving a lot of corporate/oligarch power, protecting it, and utilizing it as a bastion of control over the masses. One can lead to the other as there are similarities. And yes, the US following the 1800s(Andrew Jackson)were the…

I really liked Islanders, but it did feel like it was missing some sort of intangible broader progression. Something that accumulates and builds as you play. Maybe even just seeing all your past islands form together as an archipelago would’ve been enough. Still, an extremely breezy and thoughtful puzzle game, and I’m…

9 Final Fantasies.

Don’t disclaim. I’m 48, and trust me, 1997 was a lifetime ago. Actually I think it was more like two of my lifetimes ago. It’s been a very, very long time since then, in both video game time and just in... like... “reality”. (So-called.)

Don’t forget scenario three: These are basic camera problems that people who understand aircraft optics know to be uninteresting.
