I hate when my internet messes up and forces me to make typos

Fact: The OG Xbox is just a big black Dreamcast with nicer innards

What was the deal with the white and black buttons though

everyone knows you're not allowed to have more than 4 face buttons

Genesis?

Not allowed. You use the start button to switch between kicks and punches as god intended.

But really the gamecube kidney bean buttons were the best

Im actually not a fan of the GameCube controller. I think it's okay

they felt nice

made every button combination but X+B easy to hit together without a claw grip, and your thumb could easily roll off of A to the others instead of having to actually move

Prefer the DS, the elite and actually the bone controller, thumbsticks aside

the sticks were kinda dumb

C-stick and D-pad on gamecube were trash

like give me an n64 stick to replace this one

Sega's greatest sin is not making more Shenmue games

I can forgive the C buttons on N64, because they didn't realize how important an extra stick was for 3d games, but not the c stick

but shenmue 3 is on its way

was it basically a stick attached to the four buttons, it felt like it

I never got very far in Shenmue. Technically impressive but not very fun

nostalgia is dead, kiddo, let it go

sry not to be mean I'm just bitter

I would love to go through all of shenmue, I had a friend who convinced me it was the best game ever

just yeah... kickstarters... corporate-backed kickstarters....

Crowdfunding has a lot of potential, but probably a lot more potential for disappointment

Crowdfunding suffers badly from free rider issues.

go by the person, basically

Well like on patreon think if goals were advertised more might help

well there's more of a problem with people overhyping things...

like Tim Schafer

You sorta have to though. If you don't get insane hype, no one donates.

oh god, look up the ant simulator kickstarter, the backer money literally went to hookers and blow XD

I mean...

have you seen the jawbreakers thing then?

that thing exploded from a bad youtube channel, I don't even know

The whole comicsgate cyber frog thing?

cyber frog is ethan van schiver?

I recently joined the group that thinks 1x speed is too slow 9/10 times

info junkie

I don't know. I don't really follow comics. I just know there's a new front in the culture war in comics and they're fighting the whole industry to bring some comic together.

not really

just a bunch of different people doing odd projects

That kind of crowdfunding can work. It's not about the product at that point. It's the message.

and it's working, because some dummies at marvel started freaking out about it like they are the bosses of comic books

Streisand effect

You'll have to fill me in what exactly you're thinking about.

Ah Streisand effect.

The ultimate fingertrap in PR.

I'm somewhat ill-informed, I just know that a youtube channel called "Diversity & Comics" started doing a dumb half-assed stream where he criticized and had a laugh at what marvel and DC have been putting out (DC somewhat less)

and it exploded

the guy was a failed comic artist I think, but he LOVED comics and it really came through in his videos

but when the guy got a few thousand subs, some of the people at Marvel started getting worried, because comics are doing so shit that a bad youtube channel kinda overshadows them by quite a bit

but they kept trying this bullshit with the guy, he's a honorably discharged marine? I think? so the SJWs AT MARVEL said "AW HEY LET'S TRY TO GIVE THE GUY PTSD!!!1!" because they are a very tolerant people

Well that's just cruel.

and when he said "even I could make a better comic" they said "well go for it, racist"

so he made an indiegogo that started to go crazy

so MARK WAID started saying shit, and it looks a lot like he intimidated ANTARCTIC PRESS out of publishing the comic by making these fucked-up guilt-by-association accusations, and they dropped it

which didn't help them at all lol

I think it hit a third of a million?

like wow it looks weird when I try to type it out

I don't even LIKE comics, but DAMN

million dollar extreme

and I know it wasn't just Mark Waid, the fanboys just HATED that this indiegogo was taking off, like self-awareness, OMG

Thanks for the write up.

sorting through drama is really hard

I try

Yeah. Sounds like a good example of ****ing people off so they decided to send a message by dumping some cash.

Best of luck for these guys though. Sounds like they're getting it pretty hard.

I think he's ok, he's got a few things going

everything they try to do to him, only helps him

but damn, let nerds buy their shit, I'm mystified at how we got here

This is how SJW works, unfortunately.

Look into the humanities departments in the 90s.

*The Closing of the American Mind* was the first sign. And that was 1987.

I can barely keep up with it

Yeah. I have an issue with social media where it can be really hard for people to get caught up in stuff.

It's badly disorganized. Reddit is better than most. But even that has problems.

Wikipedia in theory is the place, but that's...difficult.

Other wikis almost never seem to stay updated or have their own problems.

oh God, wikimedia is corrupt as all fuck

hot tip: if you take donations, don't take pictures of your clique flashing stacks of cash and drinking wine

and the edit wars will always go to whoever has absolutely no life, which tends to be cliques of SJWs

I loved this

right

Even though carlos was so dead wrong on some points

Especially immigration

Oh I'm sorry for interrupting

What are you guys talking about?

Comicsgate.

And then it shifted to wikipedia being brigaded and corrupted.

Marvel going down the gutter, and stuff?

Basically.

And the consumer revolt in response.

And about wikipedia, it's always been the case

I remember a politician here kade the claim that his grandfather invented lemonade

And his supporters went to the wiki page of lemonade and started editing that in

In droves

It's always been the case

That's the problem with reader supported encyclopedias. The vast majority of editors are morons

Wikipedia is worse than that.

There's a shadow hierarchy of no-life editors that can ovreride edits and write narratives.

Are the people at the top far left idiots?
