Watched the video, and Dev is basically right. You can spin almost any media to right win, left wing, or whatever wing with a little effort. But the video didn't need to be an hour long. I think it could be edited down to 10-20 minutes.
I doubt it will happen in the future either given how much has been scrubbed from the internet.
I trust dev's interpretation of anything to be bloated and thick with waffle. I haven't and don't plan to watch the video so I might be missing the context but if his point is that you can spin any media any which way so there's no such thing as a right wing (traditionalist) or left wing (progressive) media, then that is retarded.
It was a giant nothingburger. But we all know how people acknowledge that women are equal until they need protection, then they're helpless victims that need protection from the simps that didn't bother to look at the situation before letting their biases (that are still trapped in the 1960's) take over and judge the whole stupid fucking thing.
It's not quite that. He does mention games like Disco Elisium that clearly have an ideological bent.
If you are interested in what game he plays check his gaming channel.
What does killing God mean to the Japanese, anyhow? That's such a common trope in their videogames, there's got to be some cultural context there.
They were on good terms before the podcast. I remember her saying she liked dev but she didn’t like the people he surrounded himself with(DFD).
Dev mentioned it in the video, people rose up and killed other people that had risen to god-like status, it's not so much that they are literal gods but can be almost like it. That was always my understanding of that bit of jap culture, their gods are more like insanely powerful deities than anything else.
Shintoism is basically animism and ancestor worship. If you don't venerate the spirits of your ancestors then you dishonor them n shieet nigga. Japs who make jrpg where teenager kill god are rebelling against this because there are so many gods in Japan that its oppressive to them. Compared to the relatively toothless incarnation of modern day Christianity in the west.
Sometimes it is about Christian influence. FF has some (even if minor) Christian thought like Jenova = Jehovah.
Ah OK. I know he plays Mass Effect, which I'm fine with, I've played that, I think he played thru Andromeda as a challenge, which I mean why bother. He did play forespoken, which he made a video on, but I didn't need a full breakdown to know that this game exclusive to the PS5 only because it's code is so shit it won't run on anything less, is bad.
I'm getting two stories here, so I'm just taking everything with a grain of salt
There are a lot of beliefs as to why, but the most popular are that it's a way of coping with forces impossible to fight due to how rigid and oppressive Japanese salaryman culture can be, and it's much harder to fight an abstract notion of the daily grind you can't escape than something like a god which you can give physical form to.
I remember she said all this stuff on stream. I wish i knew what stream it was. But I remember spookivt saying he was surprised she liked dev after that whole debate they had.
Brianna Wu has been on a bunch of shows recently, including Timcast IRL, but I have to ask, why does anyone bother talking to him? What has he ever done besides have a failed political run and whine about Gamer Gate? Does he even have an audience at all or is it all nostalgia from the glory days of Don Sargon?
I mean, he finally admitted in his own words after all these years that he's trans and not a very ugly woman, idk
It's his new grift. He's trying to position himself as an enlightened centrist, or at least a leftie that's open to "having discussions".
