"Zero Punctuation" and "Dev Diary" by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw - The only thing worth watching on The Escapist

[Rich Evans Ayypologist]

Spoiler: cutting down on pollution

post "I argued against it" he says as he never at any point refuted what I said.

If I need to spell out for you how I've refuted you throwing out some faceboomer buzzwords ala projecting and wanting a hugbox... damn, I guess you really are retarded.
I'll lead you to water then:
1 - so because I made a post making fun a page and a half of people whining about a liberal making liberal jokes, the appropriate response was to sperg at me for a day and a half?
following my own advice, I would just not read the thread about the guy whose content I sometimes like, right, or overlook the posts of people complaining.

ORRR I could call them retards, because I'd like to read the thread without a bunch of people bitching that water is wet. You interpret this as a call for a hugbox, which goes to show you've probably faced exactly zero confrontations in your actual life if you're that sensitive, lol ANYONE WHO RIDICULES ME JUST WANTS A SAFE SPACE!!!!

2 - beyond the original post pointed at based! tradcons watching video game reviews, I've been exclusively calling you a pearl-clutching whining child, and emphasizing again and again that you look at the original post. You take three paragraphs as "sperging," then you proceed, for a day and a half, to write five times that much insisting that you're not sperging, he's sperging!
I don't really care if you say that I'm sperging or malding or etc etc, because it's fun to call you an oversensitive pussy and watch you try to insist you're not doing the same thing.

you completely forgot that I at no point bitched about any quips, I was always talking about you being an astral projecting faggot who goes off at the mildest negative mention of shitlibbery in videos, while decrying thin skinnedness."

Okay, okay, my bad; I should've spelled out like you're ESL that I was using the plural you. So in the case, you've said literally nothing in this thread prior to that post trying to zing me, and you're just mad that someone interrupted the beautiful harmony of bitching by calling said bitching (which you clearly feel great kinship with) retarded... and then called you also oversensitive. I can't think of any other reason you would spend this long doing this.

And nah nigger, you didn't find me saying CONSERVATIVES GET OUT!, you're trying to spin someone daring to make fun of you as someone demanding a hugbox. You're very fragile, I understand, so even a whiff of someone who disagrees with you makes you think they're trying to push you out. But you're not in high school anymore... at least, I hope.

'I'm not mad, here's 4 more paragraphs me not being mad".

Man, you are really insecure about your typing speed, mate. That's what the whole thing started from, right?

I make literally one post making fun of people who can't stand a liberal entertainer making three-second swipes at conservatives, and then I find an easy mark who will keep replying while insisting he isn't thin-skinned. Beyond that first post, everything I've said has just been laying into the fact that you're a thin-skinned, precocious faggot and reiterating what so offended your delicate personage. It's this line, by the way:

It would be like willingly watching Jeremy Hambeast and then malding every time he made a Biden sniffing joke. What were you expecting? (I can't really think of a conservative equivalent to ZP who isn't on the level of Hambeast's "quality," as otherwise I'd have brought them up.)

You've been sperging just as hard as I have, but unlike you, I don't really give a fuck about social validation on kiwi farms of all places.

You can't stand to let that one post breaking the chorus of whining about the liberal making liberal jokes be there. You've got to show everyone how retarded you really are... and then insist that you weren't sperging! weren't sperging at all! He was! Only him! Because my god, what would people think?

And since you didn't read it, I'll bold it again: you've kept coming at me, for over a day, because I dared to say that complaining about a liberal atheist who reviews video games for a living for making three-second anti-conservative quips was maximum overqueef... in too many words for your tastes.

Calm down, friend.

(you)

you'd think wouldn't fly on a platform where everyone, everyone has to walk on eggshells, but somehow Yahtzee's invincible, presumably because he has no problem pushing The Message™.

Right, but that's being mad at easily-observed double-standards, sortof like how he hasn't been cancelled for that clip earlier back of him shouting every racial slur in a row. It's reasonable enough, since if you had a mirror-universe conservative ZP, it would probably have been nuked for the same shit a long time ago.

But you're not complaining that he's making the jokes he is, so much as that he unfairly gets to avoid the eggshells. You're also not complaining that someone called people complaining about the former retarded.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Hey, remember that one time he said conservatives are pedophiles, complete with a pixelated depiction of "an underage girl's vagina"?

And that video's freely available to this day on YouTube? Yeah, that's part of the reason Yahtzee's political jabs are irritating, because he says shit that'd get just about anyone with lesser fame bumped right off. All the pixelated dicks and dildos and pussies he's had in his videos, you'd think wouldn't fly on a platform where everyone, everyone has to walk on eggshells, but somehow Yahtzee's invincible, presumably because he has no problem pushing The Message™.

If he ever gets banned, The Escapist is done for.

Unless Jack steps up to the plate and starts giving us his opinions that he held back in Red Letter Media.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Not all of them, but I've been rewatching (and also have my stupid ability to remember useless shit) and two things always bugged people:

One, Yahtzee always hated Republicans. Even one of his earliest videos had a thing about Republicans lacking compassion.

But this ties in with another thing... Yahtzee used to have a hateboner against America, and would bitch about Americans being stupid at every opportunity. He even did a written essay about bad American video game box art where the TL;DR was "Americans have no artistic taste."

Nothing about his many, many "I hate Hillary Clinton" jokes? They even persisted into the 2016 main election days.

Yeah, that's a major reason why his random politisperging is so irritating - you can't just reply with an equally snarky response with a right-wing bent, or else you'll get the banhammer. Retort with something like "Doesn't the current Democratic president of the USA, a country you can't even legally vote in, have a documented history of sniffing little girls, and a son that's done everything from kids to crack?" and you'll be relegated to the abyss of Bitchute forevermore.

So, with no way to retort without getting slapped down, we've gotta tolerate his obnoxious angsty teenager-tier rage against whomever CNN's getting mad about today, and it's very obnoxious. It wouldn't be so irritating if his videos weren't at least reasonably good to this day, making it the big ball of cat fur with a little bit of feces mixed in that I have to carefully pick out of my peanut butter, when we don't need to have that fur and feces mixed in the first place.

Lefty politisperging is inherently creepy, anyway. It's astounding how unified their hive mind seems to be, even able to turn on a dime and start praising Biden, pretending like they weren't passing around the hair-sniffing photos just as much as the rest of us pre-election. They pass out a general message du jour, and it instantly becomes the mantra.

Actually I don't recall Hillary Clinton coming up much. I recall a sight gag where he put her head on some demon snake body or something.

But the thing about hating America in general I recall because at places I used to hang at, it was really contentious at the time--and not even just by Americans. I even knew people who agreed with Yahtzee but just were like "will you please shut up?"

I found the thing about American Box Art easy to remember both because it was an extreme example of his anti-Americanism, but also... well, its kind of a good point honestly. Even today I can't help but keep noticing examples similar to what he's pointing out (though to be honest, Japan isn't much better). It's an example of how you can be right, but have so beaten the hammer that people no longer care. It's not quite a "boy who cried wolf effect" because nobody thinks he's lying... they just stopped caring.

"He" had an good point but only by virtue of the fact that he was years late to the party in mentioning it. Kirby fans in particular have been griping about "angry US Kirby" since the early 2000s, if not earlier.

I'm sure she pops up in one video with the words "stanky uterus" somewhere in there, but I'm not plowing through his old videos to find it.

Oh yeah, Escapist really doesn't have much else draw at all. I don't know where they find these people - by and large most of them are charisma voids. Jack seems extremely dependent on having a good crew to make him look better, as the solo stuff they've had him on... really hasn't been terribly good. Alcoholism was his mojo.

So, with no way to retort without getting slapped down, we've gotta tolerate his obnoxious angsty teenager-tier rage against whomever CNN's getting mad about today, and it's very obnoxious.

There are a few other things at play that do shake it up, but I don't deny the overall gist. There are conservative entertainers on the platform that do game review content, but they tend to get a lot less traction. That's probably due to a blend of the algorithm being manipulated... and to the fact that lefty-types use Youtube for different things than do righty-types.

Emptyhero makes some funny stuff, and he gets crushed by faggots like hhbomberguy... who in turn gets crushed by news-oriented content, where conservatives regularly out-view the liberal alternative. Generally speaking, within gaming """"""""culture,""""""""" conservatives will probably always be a minority group because every single fucking NEET and tranny is a goddamn communist... and then that gets compounded by efforts to throw them out of those spaces wholesale, then to deprive them of alternatives. It's more than a little off-topic, but I'm not really a fan of the fact that Parler et al (even if it was in many was a fine spot of grifting) could just be shut down at a whim by the five or six trusts in the tech industry, making "just make your own alternative" a non-starter.

Lefty politisperging is inherently creepy, anyway. It's astounding how unified their hive mind seems to be, even able to turn on a dime and start praising Biden, pretending like they weren't passing around the hair-sniffing photos just as much as the rest of us pre-election. They pass out a general message du jour, and it instantly becomes the mantra.

Also very off-topic, but adherents of Lyin' Ted were screaming about how uncouth it was for Trump to insult his troll wife briefly before they circled the wagons around the big guy and got on the winning train. It's just the nature of tribalism on either side, really... although I will say, I'm not really sure who's praising Biden at the moment except the establishment military-industrial mouthpieces.

I don't even think Biden's approval ratings have reached the nadir yet, because people by and large don't realize that economic growth is not a good remedy for inflation and he's still prattling on about making jobs and shit despite literal millions of unfilled job positions.

For those wondering why he's become so political, he mentions how he wonders if moving to California made him feel like he's destroying the environment whenever he runs the faucet.

"I feel bad for living in a wasteful environment so I'll act like its your fault instead"

 

[The tired cat]

I have to wonder if theres something in the Cali air or water that turns people into such political sperglords.

So why did he think it was a good idea to move to the state that wastes the most water and damages the environment while simultaneously preaching about how more people need to work to save the environment?

 

[gaystoner]

generally now its the culture of the people. that culture developed though because as a state it has fantastic coast lines, weather and mountains. a literal paradise. then people got bored living in paradise and decided because they live where its geographically ideal...clearly they know how the world works.

For some creatives, you have to move out there in order to get nestled into certain industries. It makes his choice even stranger, though, since he's doing the exact same thing he's done at every other point of the globe he's been. On the other hand, at least he's presumably paying the exorbitant taxes unlike half of the people in the state.

And it's less that he's using the rainfall, so much as he's carting in water from the well-below-replenishment-level-lowest-amount-ever Lake Mead, one of myriad resources in other states that California is sucking down to perpetuate having entirely too many people crammed into it. Thing is, I really don't want that cyst to burst.

I'll admit, I find that box art charming in a "it reminds me of cheesy sci-fi movies I used to see in video rentals" kinda way.

It's still better than modern box art (whether for movies, games, etc) which are very often just.... a character standing in the center, striking a pose, sometimes with some suggestive background scenery but very often with just colors.

You'd think that in the world of digital transactions, having an eye-grabbing cover image would be MORE important, not less, and yet nowadays it seems like the part they often cheap out on.

I've had a theory for awhile that coastal or island regions are typically batshit insane because of the saltwater carried on the wind.

So why did he think it was a good idea to move to the state that wastes the most water and damages the environment while simultaneously preaching about how more people need to work to save the environment?

Because he's retarded. Couldn't even run a Dave and Buster's knock off successfully. Didn't even have anywhere near the same overhead cost as Dave and Buster's.

At the very least it shouldn't have.
