Devon Del Vecchio / "Dev" / ShortFatOtaku / @sleepy_devo - Degenerate loser, honorary whiteknight for Lilith Lovett, constantly at odds with his own viewers for being a centrist

Damn, I think Dev was actually right about the Stellar Blade controversy being due to design copyright over the outfits.
Having listened to almost all the video (I skipped the review portion) Dev does make a compelling argument that the censorship was a copyright issue. If you skip to 1:09 or 1:12, you get right to real content of the video.

Unfortunately he ruins it with the proceeding hour of video. It's a long winded version of Null's take. The main points being
  • The Free Stellar Blade people look like nerds so therefor they're losers and cringe and not worth listening too.
  • There's other sexy outfits in the game so you can't complain.
  • Normies don't care so it's bad optics if you care about this kind of thing.
  • Consoom corporate slop and ask for seconds.
If other threads where I mention this are anything to go by, I'll get shit on this opinion. I think the game was censored. I think they lied to people. I won't be supporting the game with my money. If that makes me a "loser" or "cringe" or "degenerate" or "unhinged", then I guess I'm all of those things. I'll wear it as a badge. No shits given.

Wow, what a lukewarm take. I expected nothing less from him.
 
Anybody thinks Devon has gone ironically evil? since he is pro authoritarian now?
"Unironically evil"? Nah, not really. Absolutely fucking retarded at assigning blame? Yeah, that sounds about right.
I don't think he's gone authoritarian, so much so as he's actively just degenerating into the normie "consoom what looks good; don't think too much about it." Mindset. Which, I can understand why some people would want that; ignorance is bliss after all.
 
As I have said before, Dev thinks being a "centrist" means you HAVE to piss off both Left and Right at the exact same amount. He doesn't understand centrist is supposed to be someone who will agree with the left or right depending on the situation, or provide a 3rd alternative, or sometimes even propose compromise.

He's a retard, proud-hearted fool and thinks he's smarter than he truly is. Interestingly, I don't believe he should be considered a narcissist, just someone who wants to disagree with others and be generally annoying.

Centrism to Dev is sticking a pole up his ass. Actual centrism is being willing to punch to either side and take flak for it. Dev wants no pushback and doesn't understand why people don't like his asshole takes.
 
There must be a degree to which his exceedingly autistic take on centrism is an attempt to differentiate himself from the rest of the talking heads in the sceptic scene. I reckon if he hadn't done something he'd have just languished in Sargon's shadow or have become a minion like Vee.

Its a bit of the opposite, in his head he thinks hes cool he thinks hes a free adult and he thinks he makes good content. Instead hes a manchild who never grew a bit since university ended, desperately wants to be seen as the cool guy, still sees himself as a teenager with the lingo trend chasing and sex thirsting and is desperate for a father figure who he needs to tard wrangle him which is why he parasitically attaches himself to anybody willing under the guise of friendship, Sargon Arch Vee whoever. Hes so desperate to be seen as a cool rebel that he refuses to be a functional adult. Very pathetic state of existence, granted most people on the internet arent better, Scrump Arch Vee Sargon and others are definitely not infinitely better but they still act like adults.

I hate the "Remember when you were a kid playing N64?!? Remember when you had to rent a game for the SNES?!?!" mentality he has. He's trying to relatable, but obviously not to me not to me since I didn't even know these consoles existed until 2012.

I skipped around too but ended up watching most of it anyway. At first, I did think this seemed like the most sane take. He makes some good points about people getting mad about things changing between pre-release and v1.0. Bitching about pre-1.0 is dumb. Artwork changes up to release. Does it matter if the drawn art made for the vending machine doesn't match the 3D model? Seems more like oversight. The Moutan Peony outfit was one of my favorites in my first play-through, and I played v1.0 with my PS5 disconnected from the network. It's not censored since it came that way on disc (the in-game manual might have just used a previous version of the design?)

The trouble with this whole trademark argument, is that they could have kept the outfits as revealing and no one would care. Get rid of the bunny ears and replace them with cat ears and replace the puff with a cat-girl tail. People might still bitch .. and it might be more apparent they're trying to get past a trademark issue ... but you wouldn't get the whole "censorship" issue. The bikini makes even less sense. If it were a trademark issue, you'd change the clasps or the pattern or the bikini texture. In both the bikini and the catsuit, they went from less thong to more full; which feels very Sony Check. It's just such a stupid change too; it doesn't make the game any more/less appropriate for kids.

This isn't due to Korean Copyright Law, this is due to Dev waning to do everything he can to atone for the sins he committed when he supported Gamer Gate. Just think if you will. Stellar Blade went gold on April 9th, 2024. The Demo came out March 29th.

I mean ... this is a global release. You're talking about pressing hundreds of thousands of discs per each region (maybe even millions? I dunno .. I feel like I'm the only one who buys physical discs anymore).

So if trademark issues started making their way into the studio's legal team in March with everyone busy on the release, it might have not been realized as a big issue until after pressing started? ... or even a Sony censorship mandate could have come after the discs were getting pressed, fucking up their whole "no censorship" marketing.

The thing that pisses me off more than anything is that New Game+ is not available on v1.0/disc. If you want NG+, you have to get an update. I was curious and downloaded the update, but v1.005 requires a full Sony system update! I turned off system updates in hopes of there being a hack for the PS5 one day (currently only firmwarm 3.x/4.x are hackable and we're up to 9.x now .. and even with 3/4, there's still no Hypervisor exploit .. yes the PS5 runs everything in a VM for security! .. so you can't pirate any games that require more than 4.x firmware even on a hacked PS5).

Not only can you not update to 1.005 without updating the PS5, you can't delete the update and play v1.0. You have to uninstall and reinstall the entire game. Apparently, this hasn't been the case with most other titles. Something was added in the metadata that won't let you play the previous version even if you delete the update. Kinda shady.

There are tutorials on getting NG+ and then deleting/reinstalling, but there are some glitches with using a save from the new build and there's even one part where you have to upgrade and downgrade to get around a locked section after a boss fight and I was like "fuck it" and just allowed a system update. PS5 hacks probably aren't coming any time soon anyway.

They brought back different versions of the censored outfits in v1.003, one which is even more revealing. Was it to save face with the fans? Did they have to fight Sony over it? Was it really over designer clothing trademarks? Who the fuck knows. If it was a PC release, people could just release custom patches. I'm curious to see what the PC release will be like.

I'm only going to play a few hours of NG+, mostly to see how well the foreshadowing worked and to get the Redhood outfit and see how it turned out (The Bunny outfit was my 2nd favorite in v1.0). The sad thing about all the controversy is the story is actually pretty interesting. People keep comparing this to Nier and I hated that game. For all its faults, Stellar Blade is way better. I'd give it a 7/10.
 

Video starts with a recap of his "Everything Normal is Right Wing." Says this well be a part 2 to that video. Proceeds to list all the countries where their respective Right-wing parties are winning elections. Towards the end he points how newer generations are not tolerant of the Alphabet People. Ends with a clip of some Eurocuck politician not being able to define the "Far Right."
Honestly not a bad video which means he just states the obvious and doesn't put his opinion in it.
 
Dev must be keen on this video, he's got his new AGP muse shilling it:

Btw as a filthy Beaner, i noticed his take on 'Milei complained about the Banning of DragonBall Super on Argentina because MUH FEMINISM'' but it was his usual 4 sec ''Dont think aboot it'' quicktake, need to look it up if it was actually reversed or he is just being Sneaky (he usually is).
