I imagine he feels bad about bringing more mainstream attention than they were already getting to people like Chris, Phil, or Wings.
About the thing Josh showed, while I agree he'll probably troon out in the future (Owl furries are a special kind of time bomb, see Shammy), the whole thing seems to be just a project by Merryweather (a semi-famous weeby artist) where Fred voices a character, nothing much more drastic.

Fug, I keep forgetting to post my thoughts on the latest MATI in this thread, as I have been doing it in the comments section on Rumble, then thinking I had finished sharing my feedback.
Anyway, my thoughts on the latest MATI could best be described as :
Nice show

Bro don't forget this Chrstian Nu-Metal masterpiece also dropped on 9/11.
*POWERLEVEL TIME - My mom took me to buy this album and Advance Wars (GBA) after school on 9/11. Much like the Switch remake, the GBA original was also delayed due to world events. Biggest disappointment of the day by far.

This dude makes a very salient point and while I am one of those spergs who sits through the credits the first time through (give respect to the devs, whether I liked the game or not); he's not wrong about credits taking 30+ minutes anymore. I'm not saying this was the first game to do so, but the first time I remember looking at the clock and asking when the credits will end was Assassin's Creed 4. For a while I thought it was because companies were adding their HR and Payroll people to the credits (yes, they're in there for some fucking reason) as well as all the different translation teams/studios. Okay, tack a couple extra minutes on for your paper pushers and people who helped you do worldwide release stuff. But looking at that list of other dev teams, the only one I recognize is Iron Galaxy; and the only actual games I know they did were Divekick (a fucking joke taken too far) and the 2013 reboot of Killer Instinct. Everything else with the Iron Galaxy name on it have been ports of older games (Capcom's Dungeons & Dragons and Darkstalkers Collections come to mind). I don't know every game dev or their work, so I may be wrong, but I'm gonna say it; Bethesda farmed their game out to second and third-string dev studios.

I’d let a city of homeless people drown if it saved a single dog lol. After living in a big city I can no longer have any compassion for these people. They don’t want help, they want their fix that’s it.

In May this year we reported on the case of 52-year-old Shinobu Yoshida, from Nagoya, Japan, who in what may be a world first was arrested and charged for violating copyright laws, after uploading gameplay clips and other content. The prosecution was led by the Content Overseas Distribution Agency (CODA), which focuses on copyright protection, and Yoshida has now been found guilty.
Yoshida admitted to the charges at a hearing on August 2, and was sentenced on September 7 at the Sendai District Court in Miyagi Prefecture. That he pled guilty is not surprising given the facts of the case (he said to police "I knew it was illegal as I was doing it"), but the sentence may raise some eyebrows. Yoshida received two years in jail, with a five-year suspended sentence on top, and was fined one million Japanese yen ($6,785 / £5,450). It is the first time someone has been found guilty of copyright violations involving distributing game videos.
That sentence seems extraordinary, but CODA is shedding no tears. "Although he knew he was infringing copyright, he continued to post for financial gain," booms the copyright protection agency in a machine-translated press release, before going on to list the titles infringed upon: Steins;Gate: Hiyoku Renri no Darin, an animation of Steins;Gate, and the animation SPY x FAMILY.
CODA can barely disguise its disdain: "So-called 'fast content' with videos and narration was uploaded to YouTube. All of these are malicious cases of posting videos containing content and endings (spoilers) without permission from the rights holders, gaining a lot of access and unfairly gaining advertising revenue through copyright infringement."
"Fast content" in this context describes a popular video genre in Japan that condenses down a given work, anything from games to TV shows to movies, most often with captions and / or narration that explains things for the viewer. Yoshida's videos would also be considered netabare, its own niche within this genre of videos that show, detail, and explain endings or plot twists.
Coda calls the ruling "a major achievement" and says it's continuing to push this issue with the Japanese government. It really hates spoilers, returning to them at the end of its press release to say spoilers "expose the important core of a work with a narrative nature", and won't someone think of the rights holders?
Don't get me wrong: this guy clearly knew what he was doing was illegal, and he's copped to it. If you break a law, you should be punished. But this sentence puts me in mind of an Alexander Pope line: "who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" Two years in prison is a hell of a stretch and, for an offense like this, feels extraordinarily excessive, and on the verge of cruelty.

The owner of the AtariAge forum has sold out to Atari. Whilst it's only a small nail in the independent forum coffin that globohomo has been doing its best to seal shut for years, it's yet another nail nonetheless.
It's also a stark reminder of how valuable independent forums run by pig-headed autists such as KF and Null respectively are.
Appreciate what we have here, frens.

My own personal theory about why all media / gaming etc has turned to irredeemable shit (though I'm not a gamer and don't watch tv so bare that in mind) is that a lot of the decline in quality can potentially be blamed on diversity hiring. Hollywood is the capital of woke culture and now that the main qualification required in these industries is "be nigger" I think this will inevitably be reflected in their product.
Also fuck Jews.

Anyone in the industry with half a brain don’t work for these mega corporations anymore. They are literally only hiring activists, because that’s the only people who are applying. Rumours have been circulating… That AI is also being used, it might have been happening for a while with the CW network as testing grounds.
Hollywood, legitimately wants to replace everyone with AI. It’s probably coming soon. I’m getting constant AI scam ads what would absolutely fool 80% of the people who saw it. (Because they are retards)
Apparently background actors, and extras, have been CGI, and now, AI for a bit now. Not all and every roll, just the ones you would literally never be able to tell.

My theory is, videogames never had time to grow up, for lack of a better term. Everyone has different theories but this is mine, before the XBOX and Halo, videogames were still things that people didn't talk about openly if they didn't want to be mocked by others. Suddenly Halo hits, videogames are popular, and big business sees that there is money to be made, they elbow their way in, and enact big business changes to get maximum profits. Everything after that is the coin

The really satanic part of this is that Dead Space, the horror series, was made into a co-op game, with microtransactions to buy ammo. Not only was the horror atmosphere immediately compromised by having your dipshit friend making jokes about the retarded monsters with you, but you can just immediately tell that the publishers were thinking, "More players = more bullets shot = more ammo sold". It's disgusting.
For me it's either Dead Space 3 because of the sheer audacity and retardation to sell ammo in a horror game (FUCKING EA), or the fact that GTA online has probably made Rockstar more money than every single other GTA game put together.

The Dead Space remake released in January, and the only microtransactions were 3 suits skins. Of course it has shit such as transgender bathrooms but it's a great product and gives me hopium for the franchise.

Of course it gives you hope, that's what it's supposed to do, so you part with more of your hard earned money as EA slowly poisons everything around it. Tigers don't change their stripes. Maybe I'm just too cynical but I really cannot forgive these companies anymore when they display such blatant greed and malice. Maybe in ten more years I'll buy the dead space remake's remake.
Literally just building a catalogue of bullshit. Incredible.

I don't, as good as it was, 80% or so of the whole design process was completed in 2009. Sure there are changes and things look better, but overall, the game was made over a decade ago. EA will probably do what most C Suites do, see success, force dumb multi-player shit and other shit no one wants, then eventually shelf it when it fails to live up to unrealistic expectations. I'm not saying the corporate side is never wrong, but they usually are; the one thing I'll never forget is when Bobby Kotick had to come out and tell the Internet that Tim Schaeffer missed every milestone when trying to make Brutal Legend. I don't really care for Schaeffer or his games, but I remember a lot of people treating it like Satan showing up and presenting proof that this Jesus guy really isn't that great with making miracles. Outside of one offs like that, the C Suite is beholden to business and outside pressures like political/social events and what-not; new games will have shitty decisions in them, and pre-existing great games will be rewritten to not be seen as evil... like World of Warcraft replacing sexy pictures of Scarlet Crusade women with shit like bowls of fruit, because that's totally something that needs to be preserved on canvas. While most of the actual creatives have left, even if they were there, they'd be forced to bow to the mob, because as smart as they like to pretend they are, the suits don't understand how to run this shit; it's successful in spite of them.
