now he has multiple things that differentiate him, the largest of which looks like a onesie-romper that gives you the distinct impression he's wearing an adult diaper

Yahtzee has made maybe 3 diaper related jokes - thus I can conclusively prove that he's secretly ABDL.
...just kidding. It would be mildly funny but his personality would seem immune to it. Similar reasoning to how I couldn't ever conceive him trooning out.
You've just got to have a certain degree of inherent "quirkiness" (Read: acting like a Johnen Vasquez character) to dress up like a baby and dance along to Bluey.
Yahtzee is so dry, it's contagious. Well, that's what the women tell me.

It’s from DK64. Rareware were giant shitposters at the time. They had cart blanche to do whatever they thought was funny.

I'm still disappointed that there's no longer a dedicated team putting innuendo in Nintendo games but I can guarantee that they'd have become just as whipped as they are now if they hadn't jumped ship.
 
How is Second Wind doing anyway? Is it basically just being carried by Yahtzee like the Escapist used to be?
I barely even watch Yahtzee's show, but I'm subbed to the channel and sometime will see stuff recommended.... I never watch it.

Looked at the video if he raises the obvious Nigger hobbits point, or at least how it's a lazy Stardew Valley/Animal Crossing ripoff to people with no social life. But I've seen more edge from 20 year old IGN video reviews.

I can't believe people thought at one point Embracer was "based", now that we see they are behind shit like this and KCD2.
If you want to see a video where Yahtzee cracks black jokes all review long, check out his 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand review for a cleanser.

Embracer Group was already wearing THQ's corpse back in the late 2010s and at some point got taken over by investors and vacuumed up a lot of companies, including Dark Horse Media (comics), Limited Run Games, Crystal Dynamics (from Square Enix--along with a bunch of old Eidos properties like Tomb Raider and Deus Ex), Aspyr Media (best known for Mac ports back in the 2000s), and more.

I dunno where ya pulled this BS from, but nobody every considered Embracer as "based" at any point.

The only conglomerate that was ever anywhere close to based is Digital Bros/505 but they only publish mediocre AA slop.

Yeah I don't know about anyone considering Embracer as "based" I think it was more like "hope" that with someone else in control that the studios Embracer was buying up would actually produce something worth a shit with IPs that had been left stagnant. Of course that never happened and instead we got that saints row trash. The only things I can think of that came from it was Tempest Rising(which has already fallen off) as a classic command & conquer style RTS but that was only saved by Saber Interactive basically buying itself from Embracer, along with Space Marine 2 which had issues but at least it wasn't another Fatshark game that was a mess for a year post launch.
 
Rabo 2: Electric Boogaloo said:
Yeah at this rate, Embracer has killed as much studios as EA. It bought a whole bunch of them and then if they don't produce a fucking mega hit, they get axed.

Oh my god they bought Asmodee?!? God damn it. While I hate Asmodee, they bought Fantasy Flight Games and I was fond with a lot stuff they were doing. One more reason to fucking hate Embracer.

Only finding out about this now too. So that's why they're desperate enough to drop a second Twilight Imperium expansion, lol

Oh there very much were people like that, even when KCD2 was out and "anti-woke" were still coping that the game wasn't a pozzed piece of shit actually, you're just racist/homophobic/not a real fan ect. in February and March.
Thankfully I haven't heard anyone carrying water for Embracer since. Or Warhorse, for that matter. Probably the same people who thought that all the hubbub about Sweet Baby Inc. was just hysteria from uninformed gamers(those morons very much exist, too).

They did, and then spun them off with all of the debt last year when they finally fell apart

I'll bet you 10$, you're gonna get grifters attributting so much as GW sneezing is because of the femstode.

Probably. And of course people will be buying the grifter BS. There's plenty of legit reasons to dislike GW, Disney, etc. don't need to make shit up to come up with an excuse to avoid throwing money at them.

Hell, people are still talking about this bullshit but missed the bigger issue with regard to tabletop gaming yesterday.
Asmodee’s collaboration around Middle-earth and other Embracer Group IPs...

Hilariously it seems that Asmodee was in decent enough shape to be able to take that hit, and as a result when CMON finally imploded this year, this happened

CMON is fucked, and not due to tariffs. They need to come up with product for their past 10 kickstarters. Last year lost 2 million, after having spent the 3 years prior to make 1.8 million. 25 percent of their payroll going to 10 percent of their employees. Needing to lay people off.. but they're a <100 employee company so who is there to lay off if they've got 10 kickstarter projects they need modelers, artists, etc. to fulfill?

So it seems there's been an update to this.
