Hello all, I'm Rine (same pretty much everywhere else), and mostly I video game and look to 100% complete things, between Granblue and FFXIV. I also DM a lot of TTRPGs, and try my hand at designing them.

This is sort of like when the FBI was listening to that Louie Louie song in the 60’s to figure out if it was obscene but here they could ask 900 million people what the words are
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

I do hate that if I see a new video game adjacent youtuber, I feel like I need to background check a dozen things before recommending, because of right wing chuds, AI bullshit, etc etc.

I'll give it a shout out since at 800 subs and mostly game reviews, its a but unfair to expect a 3 hour deep dive.

The immeasurable disappointment of seeing a topic you'd love to watch a video essay on and its only like, 15 minutes or so.
Come on! You could easily make this like, a 3 hour video! Do iiiiiiiit.
I would watch a 3 hour video deep diving bad apple >.>

One of my favorite examples of a proper, well written 'this game sucks, but lets talk about why it sucks' essay that doesn't go 'angry critic' on that shit. youtu.be/--SXFB7m6mk

Pokemon Silver of all things, helped me to process my very unstable childhood. This is an ode to one of my favourite games.

You can absolutely rip into a bad game, be entertaining, and not immediately go 'angry persona' bullshit on it. Over-exaggerated nitpicking, shouting curses and all that melodrama are the same shit shortcut that modern culture war tourists take, and it all sucks. Fuck'em.

In the same vein, 'If the AI bubble pops, then our entire system will collapse' yeah, you know what? Fuck it. Hang the pedophiles, burn the stock market and tribunals for every fucker who supports genocide and concentration camps. If that's required for this shit to work, let it burn.
“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”
Works for me.

Two of the worst things to happen to media criticism were the AVGN (and by extension the Nostalgia Critic) and CinemaSins. James has at least shown he understands games enough to critique them, but the “angry” persona that made him popular absolutely poisoned the well for at least a decade.
This is such a good point by Maximillian
Many creators CAN tell the difference between pure hate and actual criticism. Especially if they’ve been doing it for a while.
Some of you are literally just yelling into the void under the guise of “critique”

There are two 'challenge' cheevos for DQIV's boss (beat him without the Hero, beat him with only two characters) and as opposed to the detailed strategies for doing things with Zora in DQIII, this is just gonna be 'oh, just level up more I guess'

RPG designers: Don't do this. There is no point in have a turn based RPG where an algorithm picks what your character does. That is why we have turn based RPGs. So we can take our time making tactical choices for every single round. If you make choices random, then you have to tank the difficulty.

Healie is our first party member, and an introduction to the most controversial part of this game. Certain party members in the first few chapters, and in Ch5 everyone but the hero use AI, instead of being directly controlled. Thankfully, this game is overall 'easier' than the last two.

I'm enjoying Crisol so far, but I absolutely have to give the highest of praise for the art design, because it is ASTONISHING how many little environmental details there are in this game, the art team did a magnificent job. The bull's horns are beer taps!

MN has been under siege by ICE/DHS for so long that whole swaths of the community are struggling to pay rent, people are having to hide their neighbours in each other's homes, and they circle schools looking for brown kids to kidnap, but Dem leadership wants to give them even more money. Vote Dem!
Democrats want voters to come out and give them a landslide, but we also have to yell at them to not give ICE/DHS more funding, yell at them to not support SOPA, yell at them to not support genocide, constantly remind them that child concentration camps are bad actually, but make sure you vote Dem!

I'm gonna be real honest man, the fact that we have to keep constantly exhorting everyone to call their elected representatives every other day to say "please do not sign off on the Make Life Worse For Everyone Bill please" is intensely degrading, and also a pretty poor sign for a functional society

The pony of course, is for them to actually fight for anything to make our lives better. Trans rights, reproductive health, not supporting an active genocide, abolishing the gestapo and prosecuting them, hell, just prosecuting the people who tried to coup the government. We're just spoiled brats.

Democrats want to be the opposition party that you vote for because you hate the current fascists, but not actually fight said fascists, support everything they do, and tell us we're demanding little shits because we want a pony and don't get it.
