The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
it's funny to me that Jim Sterling has changed his gimmick from "shouty video game fascist" to "completely absurd shouty video game aristocratic fop" when it turned out it wasn't funny or cool to ape the trappings of fascism anymore because real fascists are trying to take over America
maybe he's just really fashion forward and the aristocratic fop invasion is incoming?

It does seem intentioned to move away from the first bit, at least given his political tweets tending to be pretty anti-fascist. He might have recognized the potential perception problems.
As someone who has been enjoying battlefront 2, I really hope Disney doesn't shut the game down. After they killed marvel heroes I'm leery.
You know how Gazillion was always kind of a well meaning fuck up of a company? Like they'd make a mistake and make up for it because they didn't mean to be assholes? The new CEO changed that but not so much the less fucking up, but more the not being assholes bit.
Like you think he went down to the costume store with his buds and was like... ok what can I be instead...
And his bro pops out from the next aisle over holding a wig and neck frills
It's just crazy enough to work

I am listening to Dirty John after seeing it get praised all over the place and man this is just not a good podcast
Solid production and research but the writing and pacing is terrible

One of the devs that was pushing the console release on twitter was pretty alt-right and posting his shit on the same twitter account as he did working for Gaz. I reported him to the main Gaz account and @'d him on it because I'm not a coward and he subtweeted me mocking me basically. I adore MH but...that would have never happened under old management. Love the game. I'm heartbroken. I have a feeling it had become a toxic viper's nest and Marvel is Old Yellering it

I think it's absolutely intentional. Jim Sterling is vehemently and openly anti-fascist and gets into fights with fascists on the internet.
I think it was a funny gimmick for him in a more innocent time (for him) to adopt a persona of a barking, leather clad commandant shouting from a literal pulpit, it was pretty much in tune with the kind of thing a pro wrestler does; a larger than life character designed to entertain
Then the world started to shift. Sexist, misogynistic movements in gaming got chicken-hawked by actual white supremacists and then holy shit Swastika-waving Nazis are marching in the streets of America and... suddenly that shit ain't funny anymore. Not even as a gag.
But a goofy ass, big-wigged aristocratic fop? That's gotta be safe, right? There's no odds of that shit coming back to haunt us, right?

Matt, 2019: man I find it funny how Jim Sterling has given up that aristocratic fop and gone for the traditional Roman toga. It was a welcome departure after the debacle that was 2018.

i will be honest

I’ve a very clear image of him doing a sitcom changing room montage as the calendar year changes and the world goes to shit outside.

We are dreadfully close to having a King of England again.
Who knows what fresh horrors that will unleash.

Yeah, Brevik wasn't perfect but he wouldn't have tolerated that shit. I'd watch his wife's streams sometimes and he's not a pro-misogyny dude when he's got half a bottle of scotch in him.

it's okay
this is natural and normal

It's definitely a cropped reversed snuggie that someone put a tie on the neck.
