    Just realized that my "Corrections" email about Star Control didn't even mention what they got wrong, plus Vinny won't even be around to hear any corrections about the game next week. D'oh.

    Very interested to see which one of them gets the Chrysallid nightmare mission wherein the objective at the end suddenly becomes "run your ass back to the ship as fast as you can and live if possible".

    Women have been sharing their stories of harassment on twitter to try and draw attention of how wide-spread it is.

    It'd end up being something like that answering machine scene in Swingers, probably.

    Oh jeez, I saw Danica's earlier, but not Abby's.

    I think the GB audience has gotten a lot better in recent years, but there's certainly still a number of people commenting on women's appearances on streams. Before Abby was around, you'd see it a lot whenever Mary Kish would show up.

    I don't understand the point of a live chat. Especially at the audience size they are at now. It goes too fast to read and nothing good ever comes out of it.

    At this point taking it away is just asking for internet trouble so pretty much any action in any direction probably isn't worth the trouble

    Wasn't expecting the #MeToo thing to go as public that it did but it really has, I'd say about 60% of the women I went to grad school with, so reasonably successful, have probably posted it, and I'm sure the rest would if they were more active on social. Thankfully(?) without the detailed levels of stories, as bad as I know they are

    Pretty much every woman I’ve ever dated, including my wife, is a #metoo.

    It’s why every time I hear people crow about how civilized we are as a people, I grow a little more cynical.

    I guess you're right. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking "Well, it's not as bad as it used to be!"

  • cooljammer00cooljammer00 Hey Small Christmas-Man!Registered User regular
    Hell, I've definitely perpetrated some stuff that could warrant a MeToo. None of the most disgusting, aggressive stuff, of course, but it doesn't really matter what I did. I'm not proud of it, and the only thing I can really do is try and be better, forever.

    I'd love to contact the specific person/people in question and apologize, but I've read enough literature from sexual assault/harassment/etc survivors to know that this isn't necessarily a good idea, because what it could end up doing is bring up bad memories for the other person, and is just a shallow attempt to make myself feel better and absolve me of guilt, and I don't get to do that. It's my cross to bear, and that's the least I can do.

    Dan's two great loves, at odds with one another: people doing "cool guy stuff", and people obeying cops/the law.

    I don’t read comics much these days, and I never read the Punisher.

    But would I be right in guessing that reading modern Punisher, while perhaps being a guy you feel for, Castle is not a dude you should be cheering for either?

    Otherwise if it’s pretty superficial, seems perfect for Dan.

    Jason being out sick would make the most sense, since he has to handle live production. I don't think it's Jeff related, because it seems like Jeff is tweeting photos of his outfit (someone on Twitter asked) from the podcast room.

    I have grown a lot I feel(certainly never be finished), in a lot of the similar ways Vinny mentioned a few podcasts ago. What he said really touched me.

    When with my first real girlfriend I said some real unfunny things that I shouldn't have said. She was a saint and basically sat me down and calmly explained it to me and I've never made those kinds of comments since. I later found out that she had similar experiences and I learned how common it could be. I'm very lucky to have known her during that period of my life, as I probably would have been walking around for a much longer time justifying really shitty behavior as 'its comedy'.

    This one, specifically at the beginning of the corrections segment, I believe. He was addressing PewDiePie's recent slur, and his original response to it in the previous podcast.

    Eh I listened to Patrick’s take and I don’t know. I mean humor aside, he focused on some specific bits he didn’t like. And how he hated the toilet minigame. He did say that he was gonna push ahead. And if you read Dan’s review, he echoed how he hated the beginning hours.

    That been said I don’t plan to buy it right now. Playing EW2 and eyeing W2. And Mario. And I still want to play Sonic Mania.

    I don't really think Patrick is a great reviewer of games. I enjoy him a lot as a general 'personality' but he doesn't always seem capable of separating his broader opinions from his opinions on a given title. That said, that is 100% his prerogative.

  • cooljammer00cooljammer00 Hey Small Christmas-Man!Registered User regular
    I mean, some people would argue a review IS just an opinion.

    Also Waypoint doesn't do reviews anyway. But I see your point.
