God I wish this dork would fuck off already, along with the rest of the AI bullshit currently making investors and other business-wankers the world over cum themselves dry. It’s fucking embarrassing.

Apologised in private for calling for the bombing or gassing of the UN in public on a show watched by millions of nutters.

Watters is a coward, a Tucker Carlson-wannabe, a loser, a creep towards women (slashing his current wife’s tires and then offering a ride to her home before they were together).

He’s stupid, he’s malicious, and he’s loud.

Actually, on reflection, he’s perfect for the USA.

I loved the idea of that podcast but I just couldn’t stomach it. One of the hosts is constantly shouting. It’s like he doesn’t understand how microphones work, and instead thinks he has to shout to be heard by the audience. It’s been maybe a year since I tried them, and my ears are still ringing 😂

Chappelle Roan’s Subway (?); it’s on the radio at the moment constantly in my office and it honestly just sounds like wailing for like three minutes. It pierces straight through my noise-cancelling earbuds, and is just genuinely very annoying. Unfortunately, her last one, Pink Pony Club, had a similar effect. I think the pitch and power of her voice is impressive but it’s just the right level to be annoying. No hate to her as an artist, it’s not like that, it’s just those two songs make me want to vomit.

Wait, so why wouldn’t they (and others trump goes after) be willing to cave without a fight?

We just watched them cave immediately without a fight, and then revert their decision after having “thoughtful conversations” behind the scenes that we’re not privy to.

We haven’t seen any victory, any pushback against this trampling of free speech, any principled disagreement. We’ve seen an immediate kowtowing.

I don’t know what those conversations behind the scenes entailed. I don’t know the future. But I’m going to predict the show that gets returned to air will be (even more) neutered. They won’t upset the administration again.

Looks pretty steady to me. Not optimal, or good, but steady.

Lol, and now we get to watch everybody buy their memberships again and the company will move forward like nothing ever happened.

Beep boop 🤖🤖

Newsom is gonna have to get a new podcast guest :(

A statue to pedo-protector Charlie Kirk, friend to pedos the world over, and beloved by all pedos?

Weren’t the right already like… Kidnapping people off the streets? Murdering people in their homes? Wait, weren’t two democratic (ostensibly “left” to these commentators) politicians murdered earlier this year?

Didn’t a bunch of right wingers try to overthrow the US government in a globally watched coup attempt YEARS AGO???

It’s a “war” NOW? Why???

Jerry Seinfeld? The man who, at 39 years old, dated a 17 year old high school student?

You seem personally upset about other people drinking low-sugar drinks 😂

That’s true, but I don’t want to miss out on gameplay just because the characters make me want to crawl out of my skin 😂 Astarion dies immediately for me too!

Yeah there are a lot of BG3 fans that are a bit unwilling to hear any criticism. Which is fine, they’re passionate about something they really love and they don’t need to hear my opinion 😅 You just kind of have to ignore a lot of them when you want to discuss the game.

It is sad that there are such few cases in an industry that could be so artistic! I wanna make it clear that I do have a lot of respect for indie Devs like Team Cherry for the way they’re working and the way they’re not exploiting their fans.

I have no strong feelings on whether this game, or Hollow Knight, are overhyped and I know they’re beloved. I enjoyed Hollow Knight.

I also do understand being sceptical of “beloved” products. There’s a lot of sneaky marketing tactics out there. I’m very anti-advertising, so I know I’m biased and probably a little paranoid lol

I’m absolutely not saying Team Cherry is doing some sneaky grassroots marketing campaign or anything, and I do believe that Silksong has a lot of people excited which is why we’re seeing so much chatter about it! We are not disagreeing.

I hope you’ve had a good start to the week! ✌️

Honestly I feel bad for not enjoying it. I really do wish I could stand the energy that character interactions in that game give off but I just can’t. I had to mute the game several times, especially when Karlach was around.

The whole thing is just… Too much. And all the characters keep trying to fuck you, too?? It’s so uncomfortable, and very very “young adult fiction”.

I can tell the game was made with real passion, and I wish I could have enjoyed it more. I played like 60 hours I think and loved it until anybody opened their mouths 😂

No I get it, and that in particular is a good point, but the whole “you can’t criticise this until you’ve made something equivalent” is just nothing

I wasn’t making any comment about that.

Whoa. Enormous respect to Team Cherry for this. It’s so cool to see people not rinsing passionate fans! Well done 🤘

This kind of argument suuuuuucks. I can at least understand the other commenter being sceptical of games that are popular because marketers are sneaky like that (not that I agree with the person you’re replying to), but this “you can’t criticise unless you’ve developed a game” thing is no good
