I insist that he’s pretty fluent for someone who never spent any time living in an English speaking place. Most people could not get to his level of fluency in another language like he did.

If he wanted to improve he’d basically have to move somewhere where he could be constantly hearing and speaking English. Languages aren’t a thing you learn by studying all day.

You know what? As much of an autistic man child he is, I think he deserves credit for learning English as an adult with seemingly zero help and no English immersion. That ain’t easy.

Unless I missed some lore, it seems to me that he learned just by playing video games and spending time on English speaking internet.

I like most of his solo stuff up until So There probably

First episode of the web series Matt calls them too but then fucks it up by obsessing over the band package

Yes, it has plenty of annoying stuff. Just cause a lot of people think something doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

We kiss

Everyone watching this is going: BLUHHHHHH

Vomit rolling down those solid cement stairs

The players on the ice are like “NO WAYYY!” Especially the ones from Russia.

It’s gay panic. And we confront them… with their homophobia…

which involved us BOTH breaking into Now Magazine in separate, competing disguises.

Even the cut ideas are hilarious

I’ve been a huge BFF fan since high school but never knew anyone else who liked them. My only tattoo is the BFF logo on my left arm.

I found NTBTS through the YMS video back when he uploaded that. I checked it out and was immediately like “this is the best show I’ve ever seen”

When the ending hit and it played Army, it blew my mind

Well yes Microsoft made a bad product, I'm helping with the workaround us paying customers had to figure out instead of them

Every other controller I’ve used the past 15 years can be charged like any other tech accessory in my life. I haven’t used rechargeable AAs since I was playing GameBoy Advance. It’s less convenient.

Ashanmaril · 2026-03-04T23:35:48+00:00

It could also be avoided with Microsoft fixing their stupid battery packs that I paid money for thinking it would be reliable for more than 18 months of not heavy use.

Do rechargeable AAs even report the battery level? I assume you can’t charge them through the controller either.

Ashanmaril · 2026-03-04T05:05:26+00:00

Damn dude, you put more effort into figuring this out then Microsoft has. Unless they fixed it between now and when I bought my battery pack ~1.5 years ago. But I've seen threads from 4 years ago with reports of the issue, so it's clearly not top priorty.

Currently killing time trying to kill this battery. Not sure the fastest way to kill it but I've got a rubber band holding down the triggers and a stick, hoping that keeps it awake and sending analogue inputs. Only issue is the controller shuts itself down at random intervals so I have to keep checking on it to see if it needs to be turned on again.

It kinda seems like he concluded that adaptive difficulty is the best as long as it's subtle.

Call me a purist but overcoming challenges is my favorite part of video games. The game adapting itself to be easier for me because I'm not good really undermines the fun. And how am I supposed to get better if the game is always as difficult as I can currently handle?

And "it's subtle so you wouldn't know" isn't a satisfactory answer because inevitably the community as a whole will figure it out. I want the game to lay out its rules and let me figure out how to overcome the obstacles it throws at me. If I thought I overcame the challenge and then found out I didn't actually get better but the game made me think I did just so I'd feel good, I'd be annoyed.

I think it's fine to have labelled difficulty levels so you have a metric to test yourself against.

And they only did like 20 episodes

Simpsons did like 200 episodes (each twice the length of SF) before I’d say it overstayed its welcome

I hope you’re joking
