“No, sometimes I hunt British vampires. They don’t have African-Americans in England.”

I mean, I watch Twitch every day and have been following some form of competitive gaming since 2014 or so, and I also think it’s bizarre and lame. I think it might just be bizarre and lame.

It’s kinda funny looking back (via the related articles in the last post about this) at how many people were arguing that it was unfair for one of the dipshits pictured above to have gotten a lifetime ban from Fortnite for putting out a video of him cheating and showing how to use aimbots. “But this is his livelihood,…

Yeah, I get these notifications of grey replies that look like they’re starting out really nice and productive, but then I can’t read the rest of them or star them to ungrey them for other people. Pretty rough to have a system that so heavily discourages new people from engaging with the site at all.

My (now former, obviously) accountant used a revolver in Fortnite. I can’t believe I used to let that idiot handle my money.

You’re never gonna believe this, but Hugh G. Rection turned out to be a giant creep who abused his students. I mean, what are the odds? 1 in a...1?

I don’t produce or consume ASMR, but the closest thing to “harm” or “ruining” I can imagine here would be that if you’re in the less horny segment of ASMR, a rise in these kinds of streams could add more of a sexual stigma to it. Which, if you’re already tired of telling people “It’s not a sex thing,” just makes it…

Any self-respecting media outlet would have hired an artist to draw a Jedi standing on top of a very tall tower to unlock more map icons so that I, the reader, could grasp the concept of a Ubisoft Star Wars game. Preferably in MS Paint.

I felt at the time, and feel even more strongly now, that cancelling their plans to just make a sequel in favor of additional content was a mistake. It’s a $0-5 game that had existed in its current state for a while when it blew up. It wasn’t sold to people as early access or a “live game experience” or anything like…

I, for one, salute the journalistic efforts of Some Guy from Axios. He is a clear asset to any media company that employs him.

I don’t believe these are mutually exclusive things. I’m definitely happy with the changes they made, especially to the burst meter. The UI in general looks much better than it originally did. But I don’t think that means everyone has to be satisfied with the stuff they didn’t change despite the negative response,…

EDIT: Yeah, never mind, I thought they were partially working for me but I was wrong.

The frustrating thing about all this is that they’ve heard the feedback. The first beta was over a year ago, and weird UI elements like the combo counter were one of the biggest and most consistent complaints. It feels like if that was going to change, it would have already happened.

It took me until the last sentence to figure out whether we were talking about Mayweather or Paul.

This has been a gripe with Fall Guys, as well. Hopefully somebody from the community steps in and creates a good tracker for this like ShootMe did for Fall Guys. But it would be nice if Velan did it officially. They could make it private and even bury it in a menu somewhere, to keep people happy who’d be stressed by…

He’s got a very large and very intense fanbase, many of whom are children. As someone pointed out in the other article about the cheating Minecraft guy, this guy’s fans regularly take over trending stuff on Twitter, including a time when they angrily derailed a Brendan Fraser appreciation topic because they were upset…

Yeah, who among us hasn’t made some small error in judgment, like encouraging our personal army of several million rabid followers to swarm all over some people for six months who correctly noticed that we were cheating at a video game?

“It sucks when people shit all over stuff that other people enjoy! Also, this website is terrible and the words on it are stupid!”

Yeah, that was my first thought. Bugs aside (not to minimize them, they’re a problem), Odyssey is extremely underwhelming. Planet generation doesn’t look anywhere near what we were shown last year outside of a very small number of edge cases, the FPS stuff is barely functional, and there are lots of quality-of-life…

Oh, there are definitely runs that wouldn’t be interesting, like a high punch trick run for Mortal Kombat II or 3. Before I started watching them, I figured they would all be like that. But a lot of them aren’t so much about finding one or two optimal/broken combos and then just repeating them, they’re about finding…
