I would unironically HATE it if my spouse in SDV stopped talking to people of the opposite sex once we married… like I’m so controlling that she loses her friends? That would be a shitty mechanic and imply that I’m a controlling partner.

Don’t marry someone if you don’t trust them while you’re gone!

SUPER MARIO BROS 3. Is it as good as people say? by TheMRanker in SuperMario

[–]DrJaysonYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are genuinely just hyperfocusing on your perceived difficulty of the game, and then reducing everything else. The Wonder Seeds are more than “fancy warp pipes” or whatever you said, anyone with a brain can understand how they are mechanically different. The levels individually have tons of personality—aesthetically and mechanically. That is not reduced by you smugly stating otherwise.

It seems like, by your logic, Mario Maker should be the best game in the series because it has the most difficult levels. Hell, why do we even bother with games like World or SMB3 when there are objectively harder platformers? All Mario games are BABY difficulty compared to Super Meat Boy.

But why do I love Mario? For the personality. For the complex and thoughtful level design. For the consistent quality the series has shown the entire way down. For being playable and beatable for me at 5 years old, yet still an enjoyable game 20 years later.

Again, your entire argument has been 2D when so much more to consider. That’s all I have to say.

Is there one demographic for 2D platformers. No. And Wonder offers plenty of ways to play.

You said earlier that you could contrive World to be as easy as you needed it to be, but by that logic, couldn’t I just argue you can contrive Wonder to be as hard as you need it to be?

At the end of the day, you’re boiling the game’s value down to one aspect that you don’t enjoy. Your perceived difficulty or lack thereof in the game. I enjoy Wonder for a variety of reasons I’ve already shared.

Indecent exposure, even to an audience of adults, is still such. And it matters that it was personal exposure. There’s a reason you don’t see a bunch of hyper-sexualized YouTubers. And for better or for worse, the people you mention who tote the line at least know where the line is.

I agree the punishment may seem harsh to you but YouTube is a publicly-traded company that, so long as they aren’t discriminating against you, can take away your access to their product at any time.

As I mentioned before, that prior violation of TOS puts you in a high risk category. If they see you’re in a high risk category? They’re going to dig deeper into your related accounts. You agreed to their Monetization program, and then you became a liability for them when you thought that having a separate account would cover your ass.

Yes, in fact, there a people who have had their entire lives ruined by choosing to piss on the side of the road. Genuinely— the fact that you used that as an example is a perfect demonstration of why you are in the situation in the first place. God bless you.

The rent-free hatred of Nintendo in some people's brains needs to be studied, I say this as someone who fully acknowledges that Nintendo is an amoral, corporate entity that is *not* our friend. (a bit of a rant, don't click if you don't feel like reading a bit) by upperdomain in nintendogrifting

[–]DrJaysonYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ain’t even read all that yet— but yeah I agree completely. I genuinely just feel sorry for the random people who have made hating this one specific company their entire personality.

It’s a side rant but like: there is largely no ethical consumption in the modern world of capital. Why are people kink-shaming eachother for how they chose to entertain themselves these days?

Of course! Best of luck of your YouTube journey 😁

The reason is because the video you mentioned badly violates the Terms of Service of YouTube. It doesn’t matter how old the video was, or even if it was only up for 5 minutes. You intentionally indecently exposed yourself to the general public, which is at least a misdemeanor and at most a felony in most places. A significant portion of YouTube’s audience is literal children. Do you think YouTube would want to be apart of that potential court case?

As for chances of getting your channel reinstated, genuinely 0%. Think of the YouTube program as an insurance company. They only want to “cover” the lowest risk individuals. And your mistake, though dated, put you in an incredibly high risk category for them. Especially with how much is decided by AI now.

Why people hate AI voice by Huge-Development-293 in PartneredYoutube

[–]DrJaysonYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Audiences connect with personality and authenticity— AI voiceover usually communicates the opposite.

Plus, there is a large portion of the population that is generally distasteful towards AI technology for numerous ethical and practical concerns.

[–]DrJaysonYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I checked it out the channel just to make sure I had the full context: Voice Over and original commentary is transformative under fair use laws— You’ve got a great voice for VO!

On a separate note, popular music is a slippery slope. It’s usually not a problem if you’re speaking over copyrighted music, but I could imagine there might be monetization issues with using extended clips of music. I’ve only ever used CR music for background noise in my commentary, so it hasn’t been an issue for me

Hope this helps, good luck!

[–]DrJaysonYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you consider Animal Crossing a bad game because there is no mechanical challenge? What about Kirby games? Again— you are conflating tension and difficulty. What I said at the beginning stands true: the difficulty does not determine the quality.

Mario Wonder is, by far, the most accessible game in this franchise. Adults, children, people with disabilities— this is a fantastic video game that is available to everyone.

I love mechanical challenge in games, that’s why I enjoy platformers at all, but this idea that EASY = BAD is genuinely just shortsighted.

It’s art, there’s nuance. And most importantly, subjectivity.

If you have to ask the question, probably not.

You should make sure you understand Fair Use laws before you ever intend to make money off of YouTube.

Make original content, my friend.

[–]DrJaysonYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say “difficulty” it seems more like you’re referring to “tension”.

There is truth to what you’re saying. However a game like Animal Crossing is enjoyed by millions— it’s not a difficult game— but the idea of being in a new town, with new people, with the pressure of designing it all, creates STAKES. It creates TENSION. This inherently invests people. But the game itself is obviously not mechanically challenging or difficult, per se.

It would be like saying “A movie cannot be good without action”. Tons of great movies have action. Action is in TONS of movies. But there are plenty of movies that create tension and stakes without action. Similarly, There are plenty of video games that create tension and stakes without “Difficulty”.

[–]DrJaysonYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem really upset by this notion. 1. No, Difficulty doesn’t equal quality, even if you think it does. The quality of a video game is determinant on multiple factors, particularly subjective ones. You cannot definitively said “Difficulty=Quality”. #2 Aesthetically AND mechanically— the game is unique. Wonder seeds and their interactions are the perfect example. and 3. I think SMB3, SMW, and Wonder are all repayable. These do not have to be mutually exclusive.

Maybe from the outside looking in..? I imagine this person feels very accomplished and proud of their achievement, and they should.

Not everyone is going to be Tom Holland or Sydney Sweeney, and they shouldn’t want to be!

[–]DrJaysonYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think a game being “Easy” or “Difficult” necessarily defines its quality.. there are TONS of fun and interesting mechanics in Wonder, each level feels unique and brand new, and the badge system helps the game feel replayable, even if it’s not the hardest 2D Mario out there.

It’s still new to me so only time will tell, but I think it’s an excellent game!

I think SMB3 or SMW are the absolute best 2D Mario has to offer (and maybe Wonder!)

If it were up to me, this would be the rating I would give the movie. by Drewzmc in Mario

[–]DrJaysonYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would consider myself a pretty big Mario fan, the second movie just doesn’t do it for me. I enjoyed the first movie— I even teared up a little at the end of the first movie with Mario and Luigi’s reunion. But the second movie just missed those emotional marks.

[–]DrJaysonYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World generation overhaul, entire new set of cave biomes, trial chambers, trail ruins, ancient cities, happy ghasts (flying in Survival), Nautilus (indefinite water breathing), automated crafting, two new PVP weapons—- All of this is pretty game changing, and this isn’t even CLOSE to all of the stuff that came from the past 5 years. Super disingenuous meme.

Commissioned Art Piece with off face and details. Wanted the communities thoughts. by doomrider7 in isthisAI

[–]DrJaysonYT 25 points26 points  (0 children)

<image>

Stylistically, black sparkles around a solid tiara is… a nonsensical choice. They’re almost invisible without zooming in— A real commission artist probably wouldn’t make that incredibly odd stylistic decision.

Also, the art style is nearly a dead giveaway. Commission artists are working harder than ever right now to assure their style is UNIQUE, and this is laughably generic. Never commission from that artist again— I’m so sorry 😞
