like give me an n64 stick to replace this one

2018-07-20 07:04:23 UTC  

Sega's greatest sin is not making more Shenmue games

2018-07-20 07:04:29 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:05:37 UTC  

but shenmue 3 is on its way

2018-07-20 07:05:39 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:05:56 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:06:11 UTC  

nostalgia is dead, kiddo, let it go

2018-07-20 07:06:25 UTC  

sry not to be mean I'm just bitter

2018-07-20 07:07:14 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:08:45 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:09:30 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:10:26 UTC  

Crowdfunding suffers badly from free rider issues.

2018-07-20 07:10:35 UTC  

go by the person, basically

2018-07-20 07:11:55 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:12:35 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:12:39 UTC  

like Tim Schafer

2018-07-20 07:13:07 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:13:25 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:13:52 UTC  
2018-07-20 07:14:16 UTC  

have you seen the jawbreakers thing then?

2018-07-20 07:14:36 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:14:38 UTC  

The whole comicsgate cyber frog thing?

2018-07-20 07:15:31 UTC  

cyber frog is ethan van schiver?

2018-07-20 07:15:43 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:15:50 UTC  

info junkie

2018-07-20 07:16:10 UTC  

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.

2018-07-20 07:16:27 UTC  

not really

2018-07-20 07:16:39 UTC  

just a bunch of different people doing odd projects

2018-07-20 07:16:39 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:17:22 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:17:32 UTC  

Streisand effect

2018-07-20 07:17:36 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:17:45 UTC  

Ah Streisand effect.

2018-07-20 07:17:56 UTC  

The ultimate fingertrap in PR.

2018-07-20 07:19:11 UTC  

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)

2018-07-20 07:19:15 UTC  

and it exploded

2018-07-20 07:20:25 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:21:52 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:23:37 UTC  

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

2018-07-20 07:23:56 UTC  

Well that's just cruel.

2018-07-20 07:24:10 UTC  

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