Americans Have Developed Strong Communist Survival Instincts​

I don't know how to interoperate this. If the video TVee is showing is not just actors, then his assessment is correct. But it could be that the video is entirely performative, and in that case it must be to signal to the international public that the take-over is in its final stages and America has fallen.

Yeah, but they are always negative about everything. Have to let them cook.

Does anyone know where to find the fucks cars MATI episode? Josh mentioned he did one but I have never seen it and can't find it.
 
I was late to the stream and didn't get to hear the Blizzard struggle sesh live, but here's a relevant article that I don't think has crossed Josh's eyes:

Obviously it comes down to overhead costs(skins are easy to make and take far fewer man-hours to make than a full game) and how many times you can get consumers to make the purchase, but if you wonder why Blizzard functions the way it does now)or any other gaming company for that matter), this is why. Actually I was watching a Nick DeOrio stream VOD where he face-cam'd himself in his pinball machine dungeon yesterday, and he said something at one point along the lines of "I promise chat, I'll make one more video before the end of the year, but it takes way more hours to make a video that will get a fraction of the views, Right now streaming is where the money is at, I'd be stupid not to." So he only goes live once or twice a week, uploads the stream after an editor goes over it, and peeks in on/intrudes on Chud Logic or Destiny streams.

It's very like it made more "profit" as it was $10k in expenses vs how ever many they sold, whereas Starcrap2 took a lot more work to make.
 
That's because the social factor of games like WoW and Genshin Impact are worth more than the entertainment factor of traditional video games. The reward center of the brain lights up more from inflicting the visage of your gilded, diamond-studded horse unto the peons than it does playing out 60 hours of content in a well crafted single-player experience.

I think this is why it's so important with Indians and Southeast Asians. You don't have much money, and it's very hard to save up for a house or car, especially if you're poor, and even if you do the luxury you buy is worth less than the ones in the US, but in a video game your sparkle horse is still a nice cosmetic even the americans will like.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend's dustborn streams, my rural internet is garbage so I will probably have to watch the recordings afterwards again and not enjoy being in chat.

I'm predicting now that Sai will be a bad guy, she's a very utilitarian character you use a lot for "puzzles" and she doesn't really have any interesting character story like British genderthing who is like an ex flame and also clearly has issue or based Theo who has his secrets and a shady backstory. They're gonna take that dumpy Holstein raghead and do SOMETHING with her, she's going to turn them into justice in return for a lifetime supply of turkey bacon or to save the Muslim community from being called terrorists again or something.

The fact that the direction and story and writing sucks is kinda elevated by how pretty good everything else is, I can't speak for the combat because I'm not one of the 10 people who've experienced it but the game looks competently and even well made on a technical and design level (except for the tumbler character design)

The obvious political slant behind the story decisions like all the characters at the camp Ziggy was at being women and all the white ones being bad, and the right wing talk radio ghosts that make people racist and all the cops you meet that are obviously racist villains are white and the extremely obvious " holocausting the unique powerful people who have the power of speech and communication and that scares power structures" storyline. Those all really make the game unintentionally funny.

The game even has cool stuff in it even if it feels like it's by accident, like the identity system where you don't make people hate you or like you depending on how you react to them but you fundamentally change how they view themselves and who they are. It's almost a shame no one gave the game anymore attention than to laugh at it briefly when it launched, there's probably some extremely interesting dives you can do into all the faggot nonsense.

There is an old weird extremely obscure rpg maker game that reminds me a lot of it. It was very popular to talk about on /v/ on 8chan I think, it was about some magic musical ritual that had to be preformed to save the world and all the characters were like genderthing and tranny's and there was one kinda tomboy character who was not like the rest and when the group fucks up the ritual and ends the world the tomboy character rants for like 15 minutes straight and calls them all faggots and losers but the game makes her the bad guy for this. The main character who is also a faggot then becomes like an angry sad sack who blames everyone else and considers the tomboy Hitler for being mean to her. I can't remember the fucking name of it but it reminds me a lot of dustborn.

"Those chuds! They aren't allowed to spread their message through the power of speech and communication!! Let's remove them from existence so nobody can resist our new power structure :)"

And they literally don't see the irony

There was a band called Sparklehorse, here is a really good song by Sparklehorse you might enjoy.

On the topic of horses, the reason you can ride a female rapidash is because the female rapidash puts a spell on you that will make you 100% resistant to fire. Keep in mind, resistant is not the same as immune. You will still take damage. It is either 1 point or 0 points of damage each second you are riding her. Just because a particular second caused 0 points of damage, does not mean that you will not feel anything, it just means you took no damage.

Asmon has been an open grifter forever who almost takes pride in abandoning princibles in exchange for money making opprotunities, this is as expected as the sun rise.
