Adding to this, Synthetic Man in his latest stream, admits that his greatest sin is sloth. Dude has gotten lazy and it shows.
"Gotten" is a stretch, Synth has been lazy for a long time now and admits as much every stream. I wonder if he's even going to make the Tainted Grail video, he really didn't seem interested by the end and said it would basically be another "Sincerity is Dead", but at least for Dread Delusion he obviously didn't like that game and he even put it on his worst games list for that year. Unless Tainted Grail explodes in popularity and becomes the next big culture war thing being shilled as
BASED by the anti-woke types because it's not aggressively pozzed like Dustborn or Velma, I doubt he's really motivated to review a title that he feels at most tepidly negative about (Stalker 2 comes to mind).
It's a bit of a shame as I really like the "___ is Dead" format, they're like Ptolemy's videos where it's thoughts surrounding a subject rather than a strict "review" with gameplay, story, etc etc. I think the next "confirmed" video is the Summer Games Fest reactions, he said he's not doing a final Last of Us S2 video because nobody cares anymore and that's probably true but I wish he'd do it anyway, if only because he covered the rest of the season and I'm sure it'd get good views.
He should cool it with the streaming before he burns out. Need him for summer games fest.
This came up in last night's stream, he mentioned possibly taking a one week break in mid-June after the Summer Games Fest. In terms of "planned" streams there's Nightreign with Devin and Sven this friday (tomorrow, he estimated they'll start at 7PM EST and go 3 hours or so), Chudcast next week and then the Summer Games Fest (possibly with Devin) next friday on the 6th; there will likely be a "Chilling" stream or two sprinkled in and again I assume he's doing a SGF video but after that, he might take a week off.
In other news, Egad was doing some networking regarding Jon Del Arroz last night (starts at about
3:21:36, here's a
reupload without the chat).
I'm not sure if Egad is personally invested in this collab or what but he pushed it pretty hard, Synth didn't seem too happy at the end but to be fair his first response was "he (JDA) could be on Chudcast, maybe. I'm kind of down for whoever to be on Chudcast, yeah" so I suppose Egad took that as an invitation to keep going. Considering he sent JDA a DM within five minutes of first mentioning it however I wonder what the deal is, maybe he just really likes JDA? I'm not familiar with his content so I can't say anything but I remember the "Goonergate" drama from a while back and some furry images from Jon on Twitter, so maybe JDA and Devin will have something to bond over.
