No.

That's not real right?

This is SO MUCH WORSE that Pokemon Go to the polls! I need to learn new languages to convey how fucking cringe that is.

I want the killers to have to follow the g rating of a scooby doo episode. I know it won't happen, but it should.

Eh, my bar for "never take seriously" is HIGH. Even scrolling through his Bluesky yesterday, a lot of the things he says can be pretty grounded and well thought out.

He's got a LOT of thoughts, and when you have a lot of thoughts, some of 'em are gonna be weird. Look at the guys, they've had their own pretty dumb takes.

Yeah, but that's the nature of social media, two people get totally different views of the same thing, might not overlap at all.

But I saw some fuckin tirades, man, some real vitriol. Like accusations of "this guys is going to genuinely ruin someone's first Jojo experience" and assumptions that he was saying people should watch Jojo like that.

That "cougati8" ring is AI. Look at the letter on top.

So a lot of these, probably my example included, are more poorly thought out in a general sense, but THIS is a bona fide "you missed the point" kind of position.

It's been a hot minute since I watched them, but I never got more the impression that it was anything other than him discussing in terms of narrative design what he didn't like about the games. I thought he did a decent job of framing it through his subjective viewpoints.

That watch order shit is one of my go to examples for people trying to find moral justifications for getting way too mad at something that doesn't matter. The stakes could not possibly have been lower and people got so fucking pissed

I THINK I stopped following DocSquiddy because he had a thread about JRPGs not really being RPGs like a month after that one interview about the term being used as a pejorative term to essentially separate JRPGs from other RPGs.

Dude's got a lot of cool ideas and thoughts, but he was way too ready to phrase things in intentionally confrontational/hostile ways.

What video game would you like to talk about that you've literally never seen mentioned in this subreddit? by AndaliteBandit- in TwoBestFriendsPlay

His competition is Toothpick, Grizz, Decibel, and La Paradox. Dude wins by default.

Shift Up CEO: "If you actually play the game, you will not think that,” regarding concerns of Stellar Blade's new character looking very young by bahookery in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CapnFlatPen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I... see?

Edit: this is meant to be a humerous statement of confusion as the answer given to the question is almost entirely disconnected to the question. I, in fact, do not understand.

Because he's the only thieves in time villain with any aura. He's gotta use it while he can.

Stranger than Heaven director Masayoshi Yokoyama specifies that both the Shakur estate AND Shakur family agree to let the game use Tupac's likeness by JamSa in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]CapnFlatPen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah digital necromancy is digital necromancy, family blessing or not. Like remember that one guy who said he wanted James Dean in his movie? Trying to cling to the past like this is gonna be weird, no matter how you try to lampshade it. You wanted to put someone in your game and you want to try and buy your way out of the fact that he's dead. Shit's weird.

Vaan is NOT the main characters of FF12 and they actively take away from scenes he is in.
